Ever wondered why some people get sick in a moldy house and others don’t?

In this episode, I’m joined by Gracie Sanchez, a registered dietitian and one of our one-on-one practitioners here at Hormone Healing RD. Gracie’s known as our resident mold expert, her own experience with repeated exposures and years of functional training have given her a grounded, compassionate approach that takes the fear out of mold illness.

We unpack what mold actually is, how it affects the body, and why it’s showing up for so many women today. There are hidden ways it grows, reasons you can’t “detox” while you’re still living in it, and simple ways to make your home less mold-friendly. Because sometimes the smartest move isn’t adding another supplement, it’s changing the environment your body’s trying to heal in.

This is a part 1 of a 2-part video series where Gracie and I cover everything about mold and how to prevent it.
