This week, I'm doing something a little different on the podcast. I sat down for a heartfelt conversation with Dr. Ann Shippy, MD a fellow survivor and expert on toxic mold exposure. Unlike our typical interviews, this episode feels more like a deep dive into our personal experiences and the lessons we've learned about dealing with this hidden health hazard.

Ann shares her journey from a decade-long career as a chemical engineer to becoming a pioneer in functional medicine, driven by her own struggles with health that no conventional approach could resolve. Together, we explore the insidious nature of mold toxicity, which we’ve both struggled with.

Here’s what you’ll discover in this episode:

Whether you're dealing with mold issues yourself, know someone who is, or just want to prevent future exposure, this conversation is packed with insights you won't want to miss.
