I’m here today with Bridgit Danner, a licensed acupuncturist and certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition practitioner. And the topic today is all about toxic mold, how to know if you’ve been exposed, and how to recover if you have. Bridgit lost everything to toxic mold and has made it her life’s work to educate others on how to recover. She’s also the author of The Ultimate Toxic Mold Recovery Guide, Take Back Your Home, Your Health, and Your Life.
While many of us think of respiratory and allergy type symptoms when we think of mold, that isn’t always the case. Bridgit covers the most common and noticeable symptoms of mold exposure (like brain fog, fatigue, and gut health issues), as well as lesser known ones. We go deep into how toxic mold develops, how to test for it, and how to remediate it without making yourself sicker.
Toxic mold is a topic that’s not often talked about or widely accepted in conventional circles, but it’s an important topic to bring light to. It can be in someone’s home, but it’s also lurking in workplaces and schools. Bridgit gives us plenty of practical tips and advice for how we can heal from mold, detox, and protect the liver. I hope you never have direct experience with toxic mold, but if you do, Bridgit Danner is an amazing resource!
