0:00.0	Everyone, welcome the Dr. Josh Axe show. I am your host, Dr. Axe. And each and every week on this show,
0:05.0	we explore the science and principles behind how to grow in body, mind, spirit, and take your health
0:10.7	and your life to the next level. Did you know that there are millions and millions of people
0:16.0	that have unexplained fatigue, sneezing, neurological issues, brain fog due to mold exposure. And there are so
0:24.3	many people today living in moldy homes that have mold inside their bodies, their lungs, their
0:29.1	microbiomes, and they don't know it. And most doctors, when I say most, I'm talking about 99% of
0:36.0	doctors, don't know how to treat mold effectively.
0:40.0	I've had so many people I've known personal friends of mine, even well-known individuals like Michaela Peterson, a friend of mine that's a doctor of functional medicine, Peter Osborne, Dr. Greg Loman, these are really well-known, some of them famous doctors, individuals who have been impacted by mold toxicity.

1:28.1	functional medicine clinic is we would test people to see if they were one of that 20 to 30% of
1:34.0	people that don't genetically detoxify mold very well. Have you heard of the MTHFR gene variant
1:41.5	for methylation for creating methyl folate in your own body.
1:46.0	Well, it's a very similar thing here.
1:47.1	Some people genetically can't clear mold from their system very well.
1:51.8	It's nearly 30% of people.
1:54.5	And those people, when they get exposed to mold, they'll be walking through an area, you know,
1:59.3	and their sinuses could get stuffy. They could get
2:01.5	brain fog. They could get fatigue, hormones off, achy joints. They just start feeling terrible.
2:08.5	And they don't know why. And sometimes they get misdiagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome.
