Forget reaching for a supplement bottle—my go-to “medicine” is free and always there for you: a deep breath. Let me share my simple, powerful tips to calm your nervous system, especially if mold’s got you stressed. Ready to find some peace and take back your health?
Why Your Nervous System Needs a Break
Mold can wreak havoc on your nerves, leaving you anxious and overwhelmed. Mold causes a lot of anxiousness. Your nervous system is like a tightly wound string, and stress from mold’s mycotoxins makes it worse. Here’s why you need to act:
- Mold Amps Up Anxiety: Mycotoxins mess with your brain, triggering nervous system inflammation and overload.
- Constant Stress Hurts: That wired feeling drains your energy and makes recovery harder.
- Calm Is Key: Soothing your nerves helps you fight mold and feel like yourself again.

The Power of the 30-3-3 Principle
You might be tempted to pop a pill, but I’ve got a better idea: The first thing you should take is a breath. My 30-3-3 principle shows what your body needs most:
- 30 Days Without Food: You can survive a month without eating, so food’s not urgent.
- 3 Days Without Water: Hydration’s critical, but you’ve got a little time.
- 3 Minutes Without Air: Air is your top priority—you can’t live without it for long.
Breathing is your nervous system’s best friend, and it’s free!
Top Free “Medicines” for Your Nerves
I’m all about nature’s remedies before supplements. Nature cures first, and then we can talk about supplements. Here’s what you can “take” to soothe your nerves:
- Take a Breath: Deep, slow breaths calm your nervous system instantly—try it now!
- Take a Glass of Water: Hydrate with pure water to support your body’s stress response.
- Take a Walk Outside: Get sunshine and fresh air to lift your mood and ease anxiety.
- Take a Gaze at Nature: Look at the sky or trees to ground yourself in calm.
- Take a Hug: Connect with a loved one (or a pet!) for a dose of feel-good oxytocin.
- Take a Break from Devices: Put down your phone or laptop to give your nerves a rest.
These simple acts work wonders, especially if mold’s got you on edge. Learn more in my book, Break the Mold.
