114: Mold Treatment Pearls with Dr. Lauren Tessier

51 minutes

Mold-related illness- specifically colonization, can involve complex treatment. Dr. Lauren Tessier, a naturopathic physician who treats often-overlooked forms of mold-illness, joins me to discuss mold in women, mold in pediatrics, and mold in autoimmunity.

The four (overlapping) types of mold illness:

Common allergy, including dry eyes, runny eyes, runny nose, coughing, sneezing, and even asthma

Fungal infection, colonization, and biofilm.

Mycotoxicosis (The toxic impact of mold)

Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS)

Dr. Tessier, previously CIRS certified in 2016, treats not only biotoxin illness but also other overlooked forms of mold illness, including allergy, infection/colonization, and mycotoxicosis.
