I am here with repeat guest Beth O’Hara and we talk about mold toxicity, detoxification, and recovery in this episode. Beth is a Functional Naturopath and she specializes in complex chronic cases of mast cell activation, histamine intolerance and mold toxicity. She is the founder and owner of Mast Cell 360, which is a functional neuropathy practice that looks at all the factors surrounding health conditions, genetic, epigenetic, biochemical, physiological, environmental and emotional.
We go deep in this episode on the topic of mold toxicity, how this relates to chronic Lyme and to mast cell issues and we get specific on how to detox mold, how to avoid it, and some hopeful news why 99% of people who have mold issues in their home don’t need to leave their home or move. She goes really specific on the different ways that mold can be addressed and how people individually can handle that based on how their body is responding. It was such an honor to have Beth back on the podcast.

This podcast is sponsored by Just Thrive Health! You’ve probably heard me mention this company before and their products are staples in my house. Their spore based probiotics are the best I’ve tried and my whole family uses them. I also really love their K2-7 which is sourced from chickpea natto and is the only pharmaceutical grade, all-natural vitamin K2 supplement with published safety studies and it contains just enough zinc to allow the K2 to be absorbed and utilized efficiently. Think of it like the traffic cop of your body. When it comes to utilizing Vitamin D and Calcium, K2 ensures they’re being managed correctly and traveling to all the right places. Moreover, Vitamin K2-7 can be found in literally every tissue of your body, making it a necessary and critical activator in many key bodily health functions. This makes it helpful for heart health, bone, brain and nerve development, and overall healthy growth and development. My older kids have all started taking it daily because they notice how much better they feel, especially after workouts, and it seems to especially make a difference when they are in growth spurts. I also find their IGG product helpful for immune and gastrointestinal health, and truly haven’t found a product of theirs that I didn’t feel a difference from.

I’m so excited about our best-selling mineralizing toothpaste that now comes in three different options: original mint, charcoal and strawberry (a kid favorite). Unlike most toothpaste, ours doesn’t have a poison control warning because it only contains ingredients that are safe and beneficial to your oral microbiome and to your tooth enamel. It’s centered on hydroxyapatite, which is a naturally occurring mineral used in tooth enamel, with things like aloe, neem and green tea to support optimal oral microbiome balance in the mouth.
