These toxins are so stealthy enough that could embed into the overall DNA structure in itself.

And that's where the functioning of the DNA actually changes.

When you actually have foreign

substance such as mold toxins and there are advanced studies and testing that

could see the embedding of these toxins into your cell membrane and especially the DNA, which is

called basically the term called DNA ad hoc. And what's so powerful is that you can possibly make those changes based on the nutrients and

certainly a well strategized protocol they're going to be utilizing.

Well, Dr John Kim is a functional medicine pharmacist, and he wonders if you've ever considered that everyday household mold might be the cause of your sickness. I'm Liz Earl and this is the Liz Earl Well-being show,

the podcast helping us all have a better second half. And my mission of course is to find ways

for us all to thrive in later life by investing in our health and our well-being today.

Now do you have any mould in your house or at work perhaps or do you spot it in a relative's house that you visit?

You know the thing, that ugly annoyance that lurks in damp corners.

Well, it might just be posing far more of a threat than just ruining the aesthetics of the

interior design. Exposure to mold can have really profound effects on our health.

I actually wonder if this might have been a factor in my daughter

Lily's chronic illness which debilitated her for so many years and I can't help

but notice that her severe flares occurred after she moved into a Victorian terraced house in London,

which inevitably had its fair share of mould and then cleared after she'd made the move to leave London and come to live near me in the fresher air of the west countryside.

Well here to chat on that theory and more is Dr John Kim, a superb functional medicine pharmacist and a leading voice in health,

wellness and preventative medicine. We actually had the pleasure of meeting in real life last year at a biohacking summit and bonded over our

fascination for preventative functional medicine and I was really stunned to hear of his own personal experience, which I hope you'll detail in a moment,

which led him to a professional focus on mold and mycotoxins.
