Episode notes
Twelve-Year Mold Case Changed Her Practice
- Dr. Jill Crista found a patient with 12 years of toxic black mold in his basement that explained his anxiety, pelvic pain, gut issues, tinnitus, and chronic sinusitis.
- That discovery led her to investigate and find mold in almost all previously nonresponsive patients.
Indoor Conditions Turn Mold Toxic
- Indoor mold behaves differently than outdoor mold because lack of sun, air movement, and competing organisms lets it overgrow and produce harmful chemicals.
- Mold releases spores, fragments, VOCs and mycotoxins that each cause different health effects, with mycotoxins driving most symptoms.
Why Family Members React Differently
- Individual responses to the same mold exposure vary widely due to genetics, nutritional status, prior exposures, and the specific mold mix.
- Even identical twins can express different symptoms from the same exposure.
