Is mold making you sick?

Then you’re in the right place for tried and true solutions.

We Understand What You’re Going Through

In fact, Dr. Jill knows it well, because she’s lived it too. Mold infested her home and made her and her family sick. That experience is why she’s made mold education her mission.

Dr. Jill was actively educating fellow doctors about mold-related illness when mold hit her home, and still, she missed it. She missed that mold was the culprit behind their mysterious symptoms.

That’s what mold does. It’s stealthy. Mold is one of the great imitators, and can mimic many different kinds of problems.

We understand that this is something you need to address asap!

Just know this. There are boat-loads of solutions. And you aren’t alone. Millions of people are searching for reliable information about mold every day.

The most common Google search about mold is,

“How can I tell if mold is making me sick?”

That’s actually kind of a tricky question to answer.

Why?

MANY BODY SYSTEMS

Mold and its toxins can harm every body system.

MANY DIFFERENT SYMPTOMS

Mold exposure can cause many different symptoms at once.

EVERYONE REACTS DIFFERENTLY

Everyone reacts differently to mold, even if they have the same exact exposure.

TIME TO REACT VARIES

How and when you react to mold depends on your individual susceptibility.

Your First Step Is To Test Yourself

With all these variables, then how do you find out if mold is making you sick?

That question vexxed Dr. Jill as she sat with sick patients. She’s results oriented. She wanted to find a way to identify mold quickly when it was the problem, so that her patients could get going on the right treatment sooner, and recover their health sooner.

So she created a tool to identify mold – a questionnaire. Over 2 decades, she refined the questionnaire and got it to a point where it was reliably predictive of whether mold was behind her patients’ mystery symptoms. It became, and still is today, one of her trusted resources for mold diagnosis.

FUN FACT: Dr. Jill’s questionnaire is currently being used in a mold diagnosis research study.

 

 

Test yourself by filling out Dr. Jill’s Questionnaire

Your first step is to find your mold risk score.

Use the questionnaire that Dr. Jill uses with her patients to figure out if mold is to blame for their health problems.

There IS a connection between mold exposure and iron-deficiency anemia. (🔎 even in the scientific literature!)*
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Mold mycotoxins mess with proteins that drive all kinds of metabolic processes. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One way they do this is to slow down our ability to make proteins. This “slow down” shows up quickest in the proteins that get used up and replaced the most often. One of those proteins is heme – the base protein of hemoglobin found in red blood cells – and what carries oxygen around in our blood.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
● If you’re slow at making heme, you’re slow at making hemoglobin.
● If you’re slow at making hemoglobin, you’re slow at making red blood cells.
● If you’re slow at making red blood cells, you become anemic.
That means less oxygen is available to drive the “fires of metabolism”. 🔥💪🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
BRILLIANT move by mold! Because if you’re low on iron and oxygen, you won’t have as much energy to move, and then you’ll be more sedentary, and then you’ll spend more time in the moldy space – – – and then mold can compost YOU! 👎🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The first step at winning against mold is to GET UP🕴and GET OUT ↪️ of the moldy environment so you can conquer mold and take back your health!

If you’ve been exposed to a moldy building, read this ⤵️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
According to the CDC, sinusitis is the most common thing you get if exposed to a moldy building. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
TRUE!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What they don’t tell you... 👇🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Even if you left that moldy building, you may be bringing the problem with you in your sinuses. Just getting out of the building doesn’t mean that you’ve gotten rid of the problem.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Quite often, that building moved into your body in the sinuses, in your gut, you get things like candida, and you have to do something active to get rid of that. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It doesn’t just go away on its own because it has figured out how to decode your immune system.

Occasionally, I’ll use non-food-based binders, especially when we know we’re going to “poke the bear,” such as when adding antifungals or antiparasitics.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤔 What are non-food-based binders? Aloe, charcoal & clay.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I use aloe similarly to charcoal and clay, and much more often than charcoal and clay (see previous post for why.)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I use non-food-based binders, I use charcoal more often than clay, especially in kids because clay can interrupt the absorption of nutrients.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
〰️ I use these away from food, supplements, and medications because they’re really good mops - and we don’t want to mop up things you need.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The window of time TO 🚫 AVOID taking these kinds of binders is from 30 minutes before eating or taking supps/meds to 1 hour after eating or taking supps/meds. Any other time is free and open!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And remember, no binders if you’re bound up!.
