Mold: The Immune Trigger You Can’t Afford to Ignore
What do to about Mold, an Immune Triggering Event
When it comes to your immune system, mold isn’t just a nuisance—it’s a triggering event that can set off a chain reaction of inflammation, gut dysfunction, and chronic illness.
In this episode, we explore how environmental mold—often invisible and underestimated—can keep the immune system stuck in overdrive. You’ll learn why mold exposure, especially in children’s early years, can distort immune balance (TH1/TH2), block detoxification, and create a perfect storm for other toxins like heavy metals, glyphosate, and bacteria to take hold.
We’ll cover:
- Why “low moisture readings” don’t mean you’re safe from mycotoxins
- How mold toxins act like gas, continuously off-gassing from walls—even after water damage is “fixed”
- Why mold exposure often includes bacterial toxins, pesticides, and other environmental stressors
- The hidden signs in your labs: low iron, poor nutrient absorption, thyroid autoimmunity, oxidative stress markers, and more
- The best testing options for mold exposure: mycotoxin, organic acids, mold antibodies, VCS, and targeted bloodwork
- How we help clients recover: detoxification strategies, immune modulation, gut healing, nutrient repletion, and addressing lingering infections
If your immune system has “lost its common sense” and seems to react to everything—or your child can’t seem to get well—this episode will give you the insight and next steps you need.
