In this episode of Never Been Sicker, Michael Rubino talks with Dr. Alex, a chiropractor who approaches chronic symptoms through immune response, nervous system function, nutrition, and environmental triggers. They unpack common root causes behind headaches, brain fog, fatigue, hormone issues, and histamine imbalance, plus why so many people are told “your labs look normal” while still feeling awful.

They also explore how mold exposure can affect different people in the same home in completely different ways, why fixing the environment is often step one, and how detox should start with foundational pathways like digestion, hydration, sweating, and lymphatic support. Dr. Alex shares how he uses testing to personalize protocols and why there should always be a plan, not just a prescription.

If you are dealing with chronic symptoms, suspected mold exposure, histamine issues, or fertility concerns, this conversation will help you understand what to look at next.

🔵 MEET DR. ALEX JUSZCZYNSKI, DC
Dr. Alex was born and raised in Des Plaines, Illinois. He is a bilingual practitioner, fluent in English and Polish. Dr. Alex completed his Doctorate of Chiropractic from Logan University in 2022. His journey into Chiropractic began when he witnessed his mother’s quick and complete  recovery under chiropractic care after a minor car accident. This sparked his interest in chiropractic care, where the nervous system is properly addressed in order to promote healing, opposed to standard symptom management.

Dr Alex takes a personalized approach to the Wellness Way where he combines Chiropractic, nutritional guidance, herbal medicine, and lifestyle changes that enhance the health and vitality of the patient. His focus is on healing the digestive system through proper lymphatic elimination and providing tools to reduce overall toxin exposure. 

In his down time Dr. Alex enjoys discovering new music, exploring the beauty of central Florida, and cooking new recipes with his family.
