In this deeply personal episode, Dr. Brad Montagne opens up about a recent mold exposure that unexpectedly pulled him back into the same debilitating symptoms he experienced as a chronically ill child: vertigo, nausea, fatigue, and confusion. What started as a simple maintenance check turned into a revelation about how mold, immune stress, and environmental toxins can collide to create chaos inside the body.
Through this rare firsthand account, Dr. Brad walks listeners through how mold can hide in unsuspected places, like your water filtration system, how viral shedding and other immune stressors weaken your body’s defenses, and why even a seasoned functional medicine doctor isn’t immune to the hidden dangers of environmental toxins.
