154: Evan Brand - Getting Rid of Mold, Mycotoxins, and More

If you’ve been exposed to mold long enough, or to a great enough amount of it, you start to grow it in your sinus cavity. Share on X

Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner and Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Evan Brand, was instrumental in helping me get through the mold issues I had.

He not only helped me find the right tests to see if there really was a mold issue — which other tests had incorrectly given me false negatives — he also helped me figure out what to do about it.

During this dark, awful time, Evan gave us hope and solutions.

He also reassured us that what we were experiencing really was there despite previous tests saying there were no issues.

In this episode, Evan and I chat about both of our experiences with having mold in our house, what it did to our bodies, and the symptoms that surfaced as a result.

We also dive into the real issues with glyphosate and how this manifests in adults and kids, how someone can go about testing for mold in their system, what to do if you have mold in your body, and why a negative reading should be retested (using a different test in many cases).

You’ll also hear about how these harmful mycotoxins get into your system, how mold can trigger mast cell activation and inflammation, and how kids can be affected by mold.
