What if the reason your mold protocol isn’t working is because your body’s not ready for it?

In this episode, I’m joined again by Gracie Sanchez, RD, our brilliant mold expert here at Hormone Healing. If you’ve ever thought that jumping straight into a mold detox was the way to go, Gracie will teach you why this mindset often backfires and how to focus on rebuilding the basic systems that mold has already broken down.

It’s not uncommon for people to rush into binders and antimicrobials before their body can handle them. Doing so while ignoring vitally important things like your circadian rhythm, mineral intake, and nervous-system balance can easily keep your symptoms stuck on repeat. Pushing through reactions can do a lot more harm than good… so tune into this episode to learn what has to come first before you even think about detoxing.

This is a part 2 of a 2-part series where Gracie and I cover everything about mold and how to prevent it.
