Shownotes

Have you just gotten confirmation of toxic mold exposure — a positive ERMI (Environmental Relative Moldiness Index), a positive mycotoxin test, or visible mold under your floors — and now you're staring at those results with no idea what to actually do first?

Have you already spent thousands of dollars on protocols, food sensitivity tests, and supplements that didn't work, and you're starting to wonder if mold exposure is the reason nothing has stuck?

Do you suspect toxic mold is driving your bloating, constipation, brain fog, or fatigue — but the thought of leaving or remediating your home feels financially impossible, so you've been stuck in limbo?

If you said yes to ANY of these questions, then this episode is for you!

In today's episode, I'm walking you through exactly what to do after mold exposure, in the right order, so that you can stop pouring money into protocols that physically cannot work while you're still being exposed — and finally start healing.

Today, I'll be breaking down:

  • How to confirm you have mold exposure
  • Practical options for first steps to take with mold (discussing considerations whether you rent, own, and how bad the mold is)
  • Why an ERMI score of 20+ is the line between people who can start healing from mold at home and people who will not get results until they get out

If you're tired of throwing money at supplement after supplement, and you don't want to spend another year guessing whether toxic mold exposure is what's standing between you and healing, then this episode is for you!
