Mold

Could You Be Suffering From Mold Toxicity?

The Reality

  • Approximately 21% of asthma cases in the U.S. are linked to dampness and mold exposure, leading to an estimated $16.8 billion in healthcare expenses annually.

  • Mold is prevalent in about 47% of U.S. homes,

  • 85% of buildings have had water damage

  • The largest study (Spengler, 1994) reports prevalence of dampness and mold in 50% of the homes. Out of over 12,000 homes tested- 50% had high levels of dampness or mold.

Our Approach

Mold illness is far more common than most people realize, especially from a functional medicine perspective, which looks beyond acute symptoms to address chronic, underlying health imbalances. Many people suffer from persistent mystery symptoms without realizing mold exposure could be a root cause. 

Mycotoxins—harmful compounds produced by mold—can trigger immune dysfunction, disrupt gut health, and contribute to conditions like autoimmune disease and chronic fatigue syndrome. 

Since conventional medicine often overlooks mold toxicity in standard testing, many people go undiagnosed for years. In my practice, we emphasize identifying mold exposure, finding a solution for your environment, supporting detoxification pathways, and strengthening the body's natural resilience to heal from the systemic effects of mold-related illness.
