There is a lot of confusion online on what mold testing to do to determine if you're sick from toxic mold. The reason is because there are a lot of types of mold tests that test for different things. While every test truly searches for some sign of mold illness, every test has a weakness to it and the possibility of telling you that you aren't sick from mold - when you really are.
That's why, in today's episode, I'm duking it out between the 2 most commonly discussed mold tests for your body: the OAT test (organic acids test) and the Mycotox test (mycotoxin urine test).
In today's episode, I'll be breaking down:
- How the OAT test and mycotoxin test are different
- Which test I recommend when you're first starting your mold journey
- What each test is best at testing for, and when to use each test - whether you're ordering an organic acids test kit or a mycotoxin test through a lab
- My recommendation on where to start to save you the most money and get you the most accurate answers the fastest
- PLUS - I'll even be giving tips on how to analyze your OAT test scores and mycotoxin test results to never miss a key marker or detail that could be the difference between you HEALING from mold and - not
If you're ready to simplify your mold healing journey and clarify the exact next steps you need to take (without wasting money), then this episode is for you.
