What if your home or workplace was making you sick… and no one could tell you why?

In this episode of Between Sessions — A Health & Fitness Podcast, we speak with Stella and Joel, a couple who experienced both chronic and acute health issues caused by mould exposure — and the long, frustrating journey to uncover the real cause.

Joel shares how his symptoms started with fatigue, brain fog, and joint pain in his early 30s, before progressing to the point where he could no longer work or function day-to-day. 

Stella reveals her own experience with sudden breathing issues and autoimmune symptoms, later linked to environmental exposure — showing how mould can present very differently between individuals. 

We explore:

  •  What mould exposure actually is and how it affects the body 
  •  Why symptoms are often misdiagnosed or dismissed 
  •  The difference between acute and chronic exposure 
  •  How environmental factors like water damage can impact health 
  •  Why some people are more susceptible than others 
  •  The role of exercise during illness and recovery 
  •  The mental and emotional toll of long-term unexplained health issues 

This episode highlights an important reality: sometimes the problem isn’t your body — it’s your environment.

If you’ve ever experienced unexplained fatigue, brain fog, or ongoing health issues, this conversation may change the way you think about your health.

Because sometimes the hardest part isn’t getting better —
 it’s being believed in the first place.
