Dr. Jill Carnahan joins me today for Part 2 of our gem-packed two-part series. In this episode, she expands on her story and discusses the importance of a flow state and staying curious. We also talk about all things related to biotoxin illness. If you have not yet listened to Part 1, I suggest you go back and listen to it to hear the first part of her story.

How to detoxify your body after mold exposure:

Increase your glutathione production by taking it, doing liposomal, or with an IV to help your liver dump the toxins into the bile and excrete them
Use clay, charcoal, chlorella, probiotics like Saccharomyces, or N-acetylcysteine to bind the toxins
Use prescription binders to assist in getting the toxins out of the body
