Dr. Jill Crista is a leading expert at the forefront of diagnosing and treating mold-related illnesses. She comes on the show to discuss how mycotoxins harm your health while flying under the radar of conventional testing and medical protocols.

A trained functional medicine naturopath, Dr. Jill first encountered mold sickness when she couldn’t help a group of Lyme disease patients feel better. Turns out, all but one tested positive for mold.

Dr. Jill then moved into a new house with an uninvited resident (hint: it was mold) and watched her family struggle with symptoms before realizing the cause, further prompting her research. 

If mold is lurking anywhere, it’s affecting you. 

But you can naturally detox your body and heal using the wisdom Dr. Jill shares in this episode, including:

• Common symptoms of mold sickness. 

• The best collection models and tests for your home and health.

• Why inspectors and medical experts turn a blind eye to mycotoxins (even though they cause 70-80% of mold sickness symptoms).

• How mycotoxins change your immune system and increase allergy sensitivities.

• The best ways to eliminate mycotoxins and help your body naturally detox (including which foods to eat and avoid).

• What makes mold more aggressive and encourages more mycotoxin production (and why routes like burning clean incense may help).
