3 ways mold affects your immunity

Mold’s triple threat to your immune system.

Ever wonder how mold secretly sabotages your immunity? 

Here’s how:

1️⃣ Directly damages your immune cells
2️⃣ Genetically rewires your immune system to be weaker
3️⃣ Changes your epigenetics, forcing genes to create more inflammation instead of fighting it

The culprits? 

Both mold spores AND their toxic chemicals (mycotoxins + microbial VOCs + mycophenolic acid) tag-team to weaken your defenses! 🦠

Here’s the empowering news: if mold can rewire your system one way, we can support it back the other way! 💪

There are many ways to get your immunity back on track after mold, but none more important than getting outside every day.

Get your buns outdoors!


TRANSCRIPT

How does mold affect immunity? It’s pretty sneaky. Does it in three ways. 

It affects the cells themselves. The immune cells themselves.

It genetically rewires your immune system to be more wimpy.

And it changes the epigenetics, the the inflammatory terrain around your genes that forces the genes to express more inflammation instead of more resolution of inflammation. Pretty sneaky mold. 

So those ways that it’s impacting us in all three ways is both the mold spore and the mold chemicals like the microbial VOCs, like mycophenolic acid, and the mycotoxins, which are toxic to the immune system.

Can we rewire those genes back? Absolutely. If mold can send it one way, we can support it the other way.

So check out my other videos about how to support the immunity, especially in this cold and flu season. So you can conquer mold and take back your health.
