Treatment
We found the key to treatment is identifying and treating the triggers of the Cell Danger Response. Given the fact that there could be many triggers, this is not an easy task. Treating any underlying mast cell disorders is often a key priority. At the same time, supporting various detoxification pathways, supporting methylation, and mental and emotional support are often needed. Various organ systems, such as the adrenals and thyroid, may need to be rebooted and supported. Hormone replacement is often needed.

Candida Overgrowth
Some symptoms of Candida overgrowth may include:
Feeling tired, worn down, or suffering from chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia
In men, a red rash, itching, and burning on the penis.
In women, vaginal itching, soreness, and redness; a white, clumpy discharge from the vagina; and painful or uncomfortable intercourse
Difficulty concentrating, poor memory, lack of focus, ADD, ADHD, and brain fog
Severe seasonal allergies
Strong sugar and refined carbohydrate cravings
Irritability, mood swings, anxiety or depression
Digestive issues, including bloating, constipation, or diarrhea
Skin issues such as eczema, psoriasis, hives, and rashes
White coat on the tongue, redness or discomfort in the mouth, sore throat, difficulty swallowing, or cracking at the corners of the mouth
Skin and nail fungal infections, which include athlete’s foot or toenail fungus
Treatment:
Some natural treatments include Caprylic acid, oregano oil, garlic, and black tea, all effective treatments for candida overgrowths. The beneficial yeast S. boulardii was also effective against candida overgrowth, decreasing the inflammation from the overgrowth and the spreading of candida in the gut. Generally, a Candida diet with limits on starchy sugars, carbs, sweets, alcohol, and fermented foods is recommended.
Autoimmune Disease
Some of the potential causes for auto-immunity may include:
Toxins (such as Mercury and Heavy Metals)
Low-grade chronic infections, such as Epstein Barr Virus (EBV)
Stress (including mental and emotional stress)
Leaky Gut Syndrome
And many other stressors…
Often, the source of auto-immunity is Leaky Gut Syndrome, where undigested proteins may be mistaken as foreign. Through molecular mimicry, the body proceeds to attack these proteins, which unfortunately may have a similar structure to proteins that make up the thyroid tissue, resulting in thyroid tissue antibody formation, leading to a condition called Hashimotos Thyroiditis. Similarly, the body may mistakenly attack collagen and produce autoantibodies against its joint tissues, leading to Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Read our indepth article on autoimmune disease for better understanding.
Thyroid Disorder
Symptoms of low thyroid function may include:
low energy
depression/anxiety
inability to concentrate or memory problems
cold intolerance
poor digestion, constipation, etc.
sleep disorders-either sleeping too much or too little
brittle nails
hair loss
low libido

Our Satisfied Customers in Atlanta, GA
EXCELLENT Based on 94 reviews Posted on Google Courtney GoodwinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Tree of Light Health highly enough. After struggling with ongoing digestive issues, bloating, fatigue, brain fog, mast cell symptoms, and mold-related health concerns, I finally felt like someone was looking at the whole picture instead of just treating symptoms. Martin takes an incredibly thorough and personalized approach. He spends the time to listen, explain things clearly, and develop a plan that addresses the root causes of health issues. Since beginning treatment, I have seen significant improvements in my digestion, energy levels, sleep quality, weight loss, overall resilience, and quality of life. My recent testing has also shown meaningful progress, including resolution of my SIBO and improvements in other key health markers. What I appreciate most is that I never feel rushed, dismissed, or treated like a number. Martin genuinely cares about his patients and celebrates every step forward, no matter how small. His knowledge of mold illness, gut health, mast cell activation, functional medicine, and complex chronic conditions is truly impressive. While I still have healing to do, I am incredibly grateful for the progress I've already made and feel hopeful about my future health for the first time in a long time. If you are looking for a practitioner who is compassionate, knowledgeable, thorough, and committed to finding the root cause of your health concerns, I highly recommend Tree of Light Health.Posted on Google nylahoneyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A truly healing environment. The light therapy sessions are relaxing, professional, and effective. Highly recommend this practice for anyone looking to support their wellness naturally. Mr. Van Lear does a great job breaking down what’s happening in your body in a way that’s easy to understand.Posted on Google Tracey RomainTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Martin is an Amazing provider! I have worked with other holistic providers and he is by far the best! Everything he recommends for his patients he does himself! I feel better already and there is so much more to come! ❤️Posted on Google Charis AluraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the opportunity to work closely with Martin and witness firsthand the depth of his knowledge and dedication to helping people with chronic health challenges. What impressed me most was his commitment to identifying and addressing root causes rather than simply managing symptoms. Martin invests significant time educating patients about their health, helping them understand the factors contributing to illness and the steps needed to support recovery. He is continually learning, researching, and exploring new approaches in order to better serve the people who come to him for help. If you are looking for a practitioner who is genuinely passionate about helping people understand their health and take an active role in their healing journey, Tree of Light Health offers a thoughtful and comprehensive approach.Posted on Google Joanie ThomasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tree of Light Health has been instrumental in supporting my health journey. Martin and his team have helped me with hormonal balance, mold/biotoxin support, and a thoughtful, root-cause approach to issues I had struggled with for years. Since starting care, I've seen meaningful changes — hormonal balance, improved energy, and less brain fog. I really appreciate the time, thoroughness, and holistic perspective they bring to every visit." I came in to the practice with a completely different idea of what we should do to treat issues I was experiencing than what we ended up doing. I'm glad Martin decided to treat me exactly as he did because 3 weeks later the issue resolved. I had no knowledge of or trust in the method he treated me with, so the placebo effect was non-existent. His knowledge and experience is vast. Don't hesitate to try the modalities of treatment considered to be more "woo."Posted on Google Jenn BrownTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been a patient at Tree of Light Health for several years and cannot say enough good things about Martin Van Lear and his team. Martin takes a truly integrative and personalized approach to health — he goes far beyond conventional medicine to look at the whole picture, including nutrition, mineral and vitamin status, gut health, hormones, and overall wellness optimization. He has helped me feel my best through thoughtful supplement protocols and detailed lab reviews that no other provider has taken the time to do. Honestly, the amount of time he spends with me in his office and the follow-up emails with everything we discussed, supported by articles and research, is like nothing I've ever had from a health care provider. He is responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in his patients. Charis and the rest of the team are warm, professional, and always quick to help. I highly recommend Tree of Light Health to anyone looking for a deeper, root-cause approach to feeling and functioning their best.Posted on Google Robin GreerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mr. Martin genuinely listens and takes the time to get to know you. He is extremely knowledgeable about the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual body.Posted on Google Connie WestTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Martin and his team at Tree of Light Health have truly been a Godsend in my life. I came to them during a very difficult season, dealing with significant stress, emotional trauma, sleep disruption, hormone changes, headaches/migraine aura, and feeling like my nervous system was stuck in survival mode. From the beginning, Martin responded with such attentiveness, gentleness, and urgency. Once he understood the gravity of my situation, he immediately began helping me feel supported and cared for in a way that I have rarely experienced with healthcare providers. We have been working on multiple layers of my health, including hormone support, stress and nervous system regulation, sleep, nutrition, adrenal support, and emotional resilience. I have also been receiving IASIS microcurrent neurofeedback, which has already seemed very helpful for calming my nervous system, supporting sleep, reducing stress, and possibly helping with the migraine aura/headache pattern. What stands out most is the kindness, compassion, and genuine care from Martin and his team. I feel deeply supported, heard, and not alone in this process. I am so grateful for Tree of Light Health and have been singing their praises to everyone.Posted on Google Beth StriebelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been working with Tree of Light Health for about a year now. I’ve had several challenging health issues that have built up over the last several years. I have worked with other naturopathic Doctors who were helpful but stopped short of ever meeting my needs. Martin, on the other hand displays a level of care and knowledge that I have not been a part of in the past. At this practice you are not just a number or another patient but a person , that is seen and listened to. He takes the time to truly understand what you are going through and has the tools and experience to quickly decipher the underlying problems and how to manage them. His responsiveness to questions or concerns is nearly immediate , thoughtful and detailed. Not sure how he finds time in his schedule to give one on one care to all his patients but he does. If you truly want to know what is going on with your health and want to get out of your Doctors conventional vicious cycle of prescriptions that mask symptoms this is your place. Martin will uncover the true cause of your issues and guide you through it . I have not felt this good in years! Thank you Martin!Posted on Google Boris VaynshteynTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience with Dr. Van Lear and his office has been an excellent one. His professional and courteous staff together with Dr. Van Lear’s treatment is top notch. On a personal level, I could tell my health improving already after a few sessions, and there has been a noticeable improvement ever since. I whole-heartedly recommend Dr. Van Lear and his services in whichever area you feel you need improvement.
