Mold Illness is Why My Health Fell Apart: Summary
In this episode, Mold Illness is Why My Health Fell Apart, host Evan Transue, aka Detective Ev, interviews Katie, a former bespoke master jeweler who turned to functional wellness after facing severe health issues. She shares her journey from discovering the devastating impacts of mold exposure in her workspace and home to her path of healing through functional medicine.
Katie details her initial struggles with traditional medicine, which offered little help, leading her to invest in learning and obtaining certifications in functional medicine. She discusses the critical role that proper testing, such as urine mycotoxin analysis and HTMA, played in her health recovery.
