How to heal your gut with Dr. Sangita Pedro - Part 1: Yeast, Mold, and Mycotoxins

Join us as we dive into gut health with my autoimmune healing program collaborator, Sangita Pedro, ND. Dr. Pedro is a naturopath who specializes in helping people reverse autoimmune conditions by digging deeper into their root causes which are typically infections and toxins that people typically overlook. 

In part one of this three part series, we discuss signs, symptoms, and solutions to things like acid reflux, yeast, mold, and mycotoxins. We also share the best tests that you can use in order to identify and treat these conditions. . 

Quote: “You never ever ever want to spray bleach on mold. Bleach turns mold into a more toxic substance.”
