What if your panic attacks, brain fog, or depression weren’t actually “mental health” at all?

In this episode of Decoded, Bizzie Gold sits down with Dr. Stephanie Peacock—functional health consultant specializing in cases mainstream medicine often dismisses as “mystery symptoms.” Together they pull apart how mold toxicity, mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), histamine intolerance, and SIBO can hijack the brain and masquerade as psychiatric illness.

You’ll learn:

How MCAS and histamine intolerance mimic anxiety, panic attacks, and PMDD
Why airtight homes, chemicals, and EMFs fuel the rise of mold illness
Testing that’s actually worth the money—and what’s just noise
How nervous system regulation is half the healing process
The link between hormones, histamine, and debilitating cycles of mood swings
Why detox, peptides, and stabilizers can sometimes turn symptoms around

This conversation is for anyone who’s ever felt dismissed, drugged, or told it’s “all in your head.” Mental health doesn’t happen in a vacuum—and sometimes the root cause is hiding in your gut, immune system, or environment.
