How Cold Weather Gets In The Way Of Mold Detox



The change in season and sunlight changes our body’s preferred fuel type, and changes our inner body fluids to make them “less runny”. It’s not the “cold” but the change in light/season that sets this off.

As the weather turns ❄️ colder ❄️, we also spend more time indoors. If your mold exposure is from your indoor space — AND you have thickened bile from the change in season — you may need to prime that pump with bitters.

My favorite bitters?

✨Wise Woman Herbals® Bittersweet Elixir (traditional bitters formula)
✨Quicksilver Scientific® Bitters No. 9 (bitters in liposomal form)
✨Quicksilver Scientific® BitterX (stronger bitters for bitter fans)


Bitters can be used in cooler seasons to keep digestive juices flowing.

Just 5-10 drops on the tongue does the trick!

Quick question. Is it easier to mix things into butter or olive oil? Hopefully you answered olive oil.

What happens when you’ve been exposed to a moldy building is those mold toxins, mycotoxins, gum up your bile which is one of the kind of oily fluids in our body that detoxifies mold toxins. So if it’s more gummed up, if it’s more like butter, it’s going to be harder to dilute out those toxins. If it’s more like olive oil, it’s going to be easier, it’s going to be flowing.

Well guess what happens in this season? The season right here in the Fall. As the weather starts to get cold, not only do waters starts to freeze up but bile and things that move fat through our bodies also start to slow down. 

So in this season you may need more bitters than you would in a season where things are flowing better. Like in the Spring and the Summer.

So just a little tip, if you are having trouble with constipation it’s a sign that bile may not be moving and you may need a little extra help. 

So you can break the mold and take back your health!
