EP 138 WTH?!? The Doctor’s Chat: Toxic Mold with Bridgit Danner

This episode focuses on Bridgit's upcoming Toxic Mold Masterclass. Bridgit decided to create this masterclass because she has previously navigated through a toxic mold situation during her time in Portland, OR. She had been working extremely hard on her health and was not seeing any positive results. For some reason she was always exhausted; it had never crossed her mind that it could have been mold. During one of her sessions with her naturopath, they asked her “has anything changed at home?” This question changed everything and set her on the path she is on today. Bridgit had recently had a large leak in her basement and she could smell the must. Her path to detox started then and there. Bridgit curated this Toxic Mold Masterclass for you. She share's everything she learned on the way to recovering from mold exposure and more! During this masterclass, you will start with some of the basic information about mold. What are some of the common symptoms (common cold, insomnia, fatigue, brain fog, and back pain) and something Bridgit feels is the most important section, how to test your home for mold. Mold can be related to so many underlying health problems, specifically problems with your immune system and it's ability to innately heal. Figuring out if your residence has mold is the most important step in starting your detox. A not so fun fact: greater than 50% of all homes have mold exposure. You will learn how to test your home or find the right people to do an inspection for you. Next, you will understand the foundations of mold exposure by looking at your sleep, food, and stools. Bridgit has brought together world experts with different specialties within the field of mold. She stresses the importance of taking everything step-by-step. There is a lot of information in this masterclass and it is very easy to become overwhelmed. Some good questions you can ask yourself are: -When did my symptoms first begin? -Do I feel better when I go on a vacation? -Have I ever measured the humidity levels in my home? -What have my previous homes been like? This process is very consuming and without the proper community supporting you, it's easy to get lost. Remember, mold is very dangerous and can seriously damage your health. If you suspect mold is in your home, please consult someone immediately.
