Mold toxicity is one of the most misunderstood triggers behind autoimmune disease, chronic fatigue, anxiety, histamine intolerance, and unexplained symptoms that conventional doctors can't figure out. In this mold illness master class, Dr. Taylor Krick breaks down how mycotoxins affect your immune system, gut health, and brain and shares the exact testing, detox strategies, and supplements he uses with patients in his functional medicine practice. Whether you're dealing with mold exposure symptoms, suspect mold in your home, or you've been stuck despite working with other practitioners, this episode gives you a clear framework for identifying the problem and building a recovery plan. Dr. Taylor covers mold lab testing (organic acids test, urine mycotoxins, ERMI), glutathione, binders, mast cell activation, and the role of histamine in driving mysterious symptoms.
