Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Diane Mueller. Dr. Diane Mueller has a double doctorate degree and is certified in functional medicine. A large part of her passion is helping women live the life that they want to live, full of purpose, happiness and health. As a survivor of mold illness, Lyme Disease, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome, she understands what is is like to literally dig oneself out of chronic illness to a point not only of surviving but thriving. She built her medical practice through sweat, tears and love from the ground up. It is now one of the top 4% of all businesses in the United States. She is passionate about delivering high quality and high touch medical service to those in her practice as well as coaching female entrepreneurs how to build a business that they love to run and does not “run” them. In this episode, Dr. Diane speaks about her pain-to-purpose story with irritable bowel syndrome, mold sickness, and Lyme Disease. She dives into how mold can weaken your immune system and decrease your body’s ability to fight off infections. If you think you have a mold problem, Dr. Diane explains precisely what you need to do next and how to determine how bad the issue really could be. Tune in as we chat about the problem with toxins in your body, how emotions impact your physical health, and what you need to know about testing for Lyme Disease.

[00:55] Dr. Diane Speaks About Her Pain-To-Purpose Story With IBS and Mold Sickness Dr. Diane had IBS at a very young age. She would go up to two weeks without having a bowel movement. Ultimately, the IBS component was what got Dr. Diane into naturopathic medical school as far as her interest. Mold is so misunderstood in the chronic infection world. Sometimes, Dr. Diane would have to be carried because she couldn’t walk, she would forget where she lived, and had crazy numbness in her hands. There is a lot of misinformation out there about healing from mold and Lyme. [05:15] What You Should Know About Mold Illness and Your Immune System Mold illness is a genetic anomaly where our immune system is not able to recognize mold toxins. There will be symptoms when we breathe in mold toxins, and our immune system won’t remove the toxins. Smelling mold is an easy way to know it’s there. If you can smell mold, it’s a positive test. It’s estimated that up to 50% of the buildings in the United States have water damage. [08:10] Signs of Mold Illness Include Pain, Chronic Fatigue, and Brain Fog Mold illness will result in pain of some level. Chronic fatigue is another prominent symptom of mold sickness. Also, many people will have brain fog if they suffer from mold sickness. All sorts of other things can happen because the nervous system is so dysregulated. Mold will also affect the digestive tract. [15:05] The First Thing You Need To Know Is How Much Mold You Have Do you think you have mold in your home? The biggest thing is to understand if you have mold is how much you have. If the mold quantity is high enough, you will have to move. It’s almost impossible to get well in a house with severe mold. It’s important to remember when you start to detox, you will probably feel worse. [21:45] Testing Information: How To Know If You Have Lyme Disease Lyme is ubiquitous everywhere. So, even if you don’t live in the northeast, you are still susceptible to this disease. Lyme can trigger autoimmune disease. Dr. Diane likes to use Vibrant Wellness when testing for Lyme.

Also, toxins impact the gut and fungal infections. Plus, toxins will affect the kidneys and cause kidney inflammation. Breast implants can also be a source of mold, metals, and toxins. [42:30] How Do Thoughts and Emotions Affect Health? We have 60,000 thoughts every single day. To heal from Lyme, we need to work on the mind. Our subconscious thoughts are secreting cortisol and adrenaline. Dr. Diane recommends staying away from anti-anxiety medications. Instead, you need to get to the root cause of those thoughts.
