In the late 1990s, a Maryland doctor found that exposure to specific toxins can lead to a serious chronic condition, as stated in a 2018 Internal Medicine Review. This condition not only causes many debilitating symptoms but also often results in significant weight gain. Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker’s book explains that this weight gain typically does not respond to traditional methods like diet and exercise. While severe starvation diets can ultimately lead to weight loss for those affected, it is not a sustainable solution.”If you have this disease, the inability to lose weight can be devastating,” says Dr. Roberts DC of Health Utah. He notes the frustration of watching others eat freely without gaining weight while carefully monitoring every calorie with no success.Why do some people develop this condition while others do not? This is a common question posed to Dr. Roberts as he works with individuals affected by this condition. He explains that genetics play a key role, with roughly 24% of the population having a genetic sequence that makes them more susceptible to this condition. However, not everyone with this genetic predisposition will develop the condition.Exposure to significant amounts of certain biotoxins is necessary for the development of this condition. While there are various sources of these biotoxins, exposure to a water-damaged building with mold and bacteria is the most common, according to the Internal Medicine Review. People are often unaware of their exposure to these toxins, which can lead to inappropriate activation and deactivation of genes, resulting in a metabolic disease that causes unexplained weight gain and other symptoms.During consultations, Dr. Roberts often asks patients if they can pinpoint a specific time when their health began to decline. Since the condition is triggered by exposure, many patients can recall a year when their health deteriorated rapidly and they experienced significant weight gain. As the condition progresses, common symptoms include fatigue, cognitive issues, body aches, memory problems, headaches, joint pain, breathing difficulties, sinus congestion, frequent urination, mood swings, prolonged illnesses, insomnia, low libido, and chronic pain, as reported by the Parliament of Australia.Doctors typically address each symptom separately, leading to patients being prescribed multiple medications without experiencing relief from their symptoms.Once genes have been inappropriately altered and health and weight issues have progressed, reversing the condition becomes challenging, akin to putting toothpaste back in the tube. However, extensive research over the past 20 years has led to the development of a specific and effective care protocol. Health Utah has devised a proprietary survey that screens for this condition, and a combination of this screening, a blood test, a body scan, and a review of the patient’s history can provide evidence of the condition.In a study published in JAMA Internal Medicine, researchers found that individuals had twice the success in their health or weight loss journey when they had the support of a partner. Therefore, Health Utah is offering a $59 consultation for two people, providing both individuals with testing, a 17-page report, the proprietary survey, and a consultation with Dr. Roberts, a significant discount from the usual $300 testing fee for one person. To take advantage of this offer, individuals can call (801) 609-3478 or visit Health Utah’s website to schedule a scan and consultation.This article was prepared by Health Utah.
