The Connection Between Mold and Breathing Problems
Are you an under-breather?
One of the most common things I see with my mold sick patients is that their body has brilliantly taught them how to do bare minimum breathing.
Your wise body protects you from inhaling poisonous mycotoxins by adapting to “bare minimum breathing”—taking in only the amount of air necessary to survive but not thrive.
A sign of this is frequent sighing.
Often, you need to train your body how to breathe again. Sounds absurd, because we need oxygen to survive, but it’s true. The body is designed with backup systems to get by with less when needed. But it can’t become your new norm.
A tried-and-true breath retraining that works well after mold is yogic alternate nostril breathing. YouTube is a great resource for learning how to do this simple breath reset technique.
Retrain your breath so you can conquer mold and fully regain your health.

Hi, Dr. Jill Crista here.
I’ve been inspired to post today after reading a post from the brilliant Dr. Jess, MD. She had a beautiful post about learning how to breathe, to breathe fully and correctly. And it inspired me because one of the most common things that I see with my mold sick patients is that they have not forgotten how to breathe, but their body has brilliantly taught them how to do bare minimum breathing. That’s what I call it, bare minimum breathing. Because there’s mold mycotoxins that come into that, that air, the indoor air, which becomes a poison and your brilliant body says, let’s just only breathe what we need to survive, not thrive.
So the whole goal here is not only learn how to breathe, but it’s to break the mold. As you get better from mold, you work on clearing that alarm and you can get back to full, robust, beautiful, thriving breath.
Break the mold, take back your health.
