Understanding Mold Toxicity
Mold toxicity is highlighted as a significant environmental stressor that often goes unnoticed in people's lives. It can be hidden within homes, behind walls, or in HVAC systems, leading to severe health issues many years after exposure. Symptoms of mold toxicity include chronic stress responses, increased anxiety, immune suppression, and hormonal imbalances, particularly in testosterone levels. Individuals may only discover the presence of mold after years of unexplained health problems, often necessitating extensive testing and possibly costly remediation.
