Hi, everyone. In today's episode, I am joined by mold expert, Dr. Jill Krista. She puts out some

fascinating theories regarding what happens in mycotoxicity or the syndrome in which your body

is inundated with not actually mold itself, but the toxins that are produced by mold or fungus.

And she delineates some of the finer points of this philosophy, which is pretty darn

interesting, if I'm being fully honest.

She lays out some symptoms that helps one to determine if there's an increased likelihood that they may have been

or currently are being exposed to mycotoxins. She goes through some history findings, things

that may have happened to you, places where you may have lived, that could increase your risk.

Both the symptom delineation and the history are important because, like many,

a thing in healthcare, one root cause can manifest as a litany of different overlapping

symptoms with other causes.

And so it's very difficult sometimes to determine what causative factor might be most indicated for you to pursue.

She also outlines some helpful testing and some helpful treatment strategies.

And I was interested to hear that she feels most mold or mycotoxin patients have to go beyond just using

binding agents to pull out these toxins, but also co-administer antifungal agents, which will actually

stop the production of these mycotoxins to begin with.
