Mold and Mycotoxin Testing in Denver
Symptoms that no one can explain, that get better on vacation and worse at home, deserve a real test. We measure what mold has left behind in your body instead of guessing at it.
Why mold gets missed
Mycotoxins are not visible on a standard blood panel, so patients cycle through allergy medication, sleep studies, and anxiety prescriptions while the actual exposure continues. Colorado's dry climate leads a lot of people to rule mold out entirely, but a single past water leak, a finished basement, or a previous home is often all it takes. Testing settles the question.
Testing we use
- · Urine mycotoxin panel
- · Inflammatory and immune markers
- · Genova Comprehensive Stool Analysis
- · Food allergy panels
- · Heavy metal testing when indicated
These are panels, not single values. Most of the labs we run report more than twenty markers each, and several run well over a hundred, so we read patterns across the whole picture rather than one number in isolation.
Symptoms we hear most
- · Fatigue that sleep does not fix
- · Brain fog and word-finding trouble
- · Chronic sinus congestion and headaches
- · Air hunger or shortness of breath
- · Rashes, hives, and skin flares
- · Sensitivity to smells and chemicals
Mold rarely travels alone
A body carrying a mold burden is usually also carrying gut dysfunction, food allergies, and a stressed detox pathway. Treating one and ignoring the rest is why people stall out. Our plans work all of it at once. See the full lab testing menu or read about heavy metal testing.
Common exposure sources we ask about
· A past or current water leak, flood, or ice dam
· Finished or partially finished basements
· Swamp coolers and humidifiers
· Bathrooms without working exhaust fans
· Crawl spaces and attic condensation
· A previous home, apartment, school, or workplace
What working with us looks like
- 1. Discovery call. Your symptom history, timeline, and every building you have spent real time in.
- 2. Testing. Urine mycotoxin panel plus the inflammatory, gut, and food allergy testing your history calls for. Kits ship to out of state patients.
- 3. Results visit. We review every marker with you so the pattern makes sense.
- 4. Health Restoration Plan. Drainage and detox pathway support, gut repair, nutrition, and guidance on the exposure source.
- 5. Retest. We measure clearance instead of guessing at it.

Common questions
How do I know if mold is behind my symptoms?
Mold illness rarely announces itself. It shows up as fatigue that sleep does not fix, brain fog, sinus congestion, headaches, air hunger, unexplained rashes, sensitivity to smells, and symptoms that improve when you leave the house and return when you come home. Testing is what separates mold exposure from the other possibilities.
What kind of mold testing do you run?
We use urine mycotoxin testing, which measures the toxic byproducts different mold species leave behind in the body rather than simply confirming mold exists in a building. We often pair it with inflammatory markers, gut testing, and food allergy panels, because mold burden and gut dysfunction usually travel together.
Is a mold inspection of my home the same thing?
No. An environmental inspection tells you what is in the building. Mycotoxin testing tells you what has gotten into you. Both matter, and remediation without addressing your body's burden usually leaves symptoms in place.
Do I have to live in Denver to be tested?
No. Our clinic is in Greenwood Village and we see patients from Centennial, Littleton, Parker, Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, Castle Rock, Columbine, and Stonegate in person. Patients outside Colorado work with us virtually and the mycotoxin kit ships to their home.
What happens after the results come back?
We sit down and go through every marker with you, then build a personalized Health Restoration Plan around what the labs actually show: drainage and detox pathway support, gut repair where needed, and guidance on the exposure source itself. We do not guess, we test.
Can mold really be a problem in Colorado's dry climate?
Yes. Dry air outside says nothing about a finished basement, a slow plumbing leak, a swamp cooler, an ice dam, or a home you lived in years ago. Mycotoxins can stay in the body long after the exposure ends, which is why we test the person and not just the property.
How long does mold recovery take?
It depends on the length of exposure, your detox capacity, and whether you are still in the building. Most patients feel meaningful shifts within two to three months of following their plan, with deeper clearing taking six to twelve months. We retest rather than assume.
Do I need to leave my house?
Not necessarily. Some patients need remediation, some need a specific room addressed, and some had their exposure years ago. Testing tells us what we are working with before anyone makes a costly decision.
Does insurance cover mycotoxin testing?
We are a cash based clinic, which is what lets us run comprehensive panels instead of the limited set insurers approve. Many patients use HSA or FSA funds, and financing is available through Affirm. Pricing is shared up front.
