Episode notes
Tight Homes Turn Mold Into A Silent Poison
- Modern building practices created tighter, less-breathable homes that trap mold toxins.
- Ann highlights mycotoxins can act like drugs, suppressing immunity and disrupting hormones.
Leave Moldy Spaces Early
- If you suspect toxic mold exposure, get yourself to a clean environment as soon as possible.
- Consider temporary stays with friends, RVs, or family rather than staying exposed until illness worsens.
Prioritize Cellular Detox And Mitochondria
- Support detox pathways with liposomal glutathione, liver support, and phosphatidylcholine.
- Add mitochondrial support like MitoQ, CoQ10, PQQ, carnitine, and D-ribose when recovering from toxin exposure.
