Hormonal Imbalances Due to Mold Exposure with Dr. Jill Crista

Dr. Jill Crista is a naturopathic doctor, with her practice and educational courses, she has helped thousands of people heal from mold exposure. Like us, mold also exists in a delicate ecosystem; in its natural environment mold acts as nature's composter but when outdoor species migrate inside your home, it begins composting you. Mold exposure is difficult to identify because the mold releases mycotoxins that enter your bloodstream giving it access to every system in your body. Skin irritation is usually the first sign but the mycotoxins and off-gasses can affect your hearing, bladder, thyroid and gut.
Being vigilant in your home and work space is vital to your health. Mold thrives in your bathrooms, roofing, fridge filters and just about anything that is exposed to water. Of course the best option is to avoid exposure but if you have or are currently exposed, Dr. Crista shares foods and supplements that can help detox your system.
Without proper detox protocols, mold begins attacking your liver which subsequently disrupts hormone regulation. In addition, certain toxins target the ovaries and testicles leading to infertility. The dangerous side effects are real and there is no way to know how your body will react when you come into contact with these toxins so be sure to give your body the support it needs.

27:36 black molds prevent the conversion of thyroid hormone to it's active form

[@blueskies773]

What do you say to landlords or people who minimize the existence of mold in the home with the response “mold is everywhere” ? I like the part where she said outside, mold has things that keep it in check: sunlight, critters and animals that drink the water. We don’t have those things indoors or in the walls so mold grows unchecked. Any other thoughts? I’m so sick of hearing that uneducated response, I need something scientific to shut them down.

[@Yo-yo-dt5ze]

I went through so many illnesses from mold exposure for 5 yrs and didn’t know what was wrong doctors just kept passing off my symptoms as allergies to mold and give me antibiotics I’ve been on antibiotics for yrs as well as psych meds for anxiety depression ocd insomnia I’ve been to GI drs for issues with my stomach I also had problems with my menstrual cycle being long short heavy sometimes I wouldn’t get a period I also had several miscarriages because of the mold last yr I had to get a total hysterectomy smh I was also misdiagnosed with arthritis fibromyalgia strokes and heart attacks because mold can mimic different things I have no clue where to start and my pcp will not send me to all these specialists my immune system is compromised because of mold doctors need to be made more aware of mold and the damage it causes to the body head to toe not everyone just experience allergies now I have yr around allergies and have to take otc meds

11:20 ringing ears

[@marymelstrom2009]

Omg! Could this be why I’ve been ill for a year and a half? Been put on 23 different meds with no infinite diagnosis. Hormone replacement medication, stomach meds, respiratory meds, anxiety meds, neuropathy meds, allergy meds, headaches, inflammation, joint pain, weakness, low liver enzymes, frequent infections, skin conditions, digestive issues, excessive bile…etc. just found mold coming out of closet wall. Pets have been sick too. Spent over a thousand dollars on my dog for skin infections and joint problems…2 cats have respiratory issues…I’m terrified. Been referred to rheumatologist, ENT, and Allergist but haven’t been seen yet…takes forever to get in.

[@marymelstrom2009]

And I’m loosing clumps of hair. 😢

[@parvinmuseyibova8743]

Same here. Definitely because of mold.

[@Yo-yo-dt5ze]

Yup all of these symptoms are definitely from mold because iam dealing with these symptoms even a yr later after suffering from mold for 5 yrs haven’t been to any specialist besides my pcp I have so many issues from digestive to hormones which led to a hysterectomy my hair just started growing back after falling out in clumps 😢 my former slumlord forever changed my life because he knew it was mold in his house and admitted afterwards once I contacted a lawyer smh 😢

I'm shocked 😲 😯 😮 my daughter has PCOS and my son severe eczéma! And there is a lot of mold in the house we are living in!!! So it's related?!

[@TheSpaDr]

It may be one of the factors. Either way, it's essential to clean up mold in the home or move. Living in a moldy home has many implications on our health.

[@bg5760]

Can mold cause joint pain like rheumatoid arthritis? I developed this in my hands and have been undiagnosed yet

[@Yo-yo-dt5ze]
