In today's solo episode of the Autoimmune Simplified Podcast I share my knowledge (as both a Mold Certified Practitioner and someone with personal experience living with mold exposure) on the topic of mold, and mold as a trigger for autoimmune disease.

With more than 25% of all buildings being affected by water damage of some sort, and 25% of the population being considered canaries in the mold "coal mine" (or delicate flowers as I prefer to call us moldies), mold is something I'm dealing with more and more in clinical practice.

In this episode I present an overview on mold and talk about the long list of symptoms you should watch for that might indicate mold is what's making you sick! Don't think you're dealing with mold because you can't smell it in your home or workplace? Don't be too quick to rule it out .. not all toxic mold has the telltale musty odor!

Listen in and learn; how to recognize mold, the difference between mold colonization in the body and immune response, how mold can affect literally every system in the body (brain, lung, cardiovascular, digestive, vision, skin and more), lab test options, air filters, binders, detox, the best and worst foods for those dealing with mold, and so much more!

It's a well known fact that there is a higher incidence of autoimmune disorders in women than men. This is not surprising considering the huge hormonal swings that women go through at least twice in their lifetime during puberty and menopause (not to mention the additional changes that come with pregnancy and breastfeeding).

In this episode of The Autoimmune Simplified Podcast we dive into the hot topic of menopause, symptom management and the hidden health risks that are often overlooked.

If you are menopausal or experiencing symptoms of perimenopause, listen in as I chat with Maria Claps and Kristin Johnson about diet and lifestyle changes (that actually includes eating enough and not over-exercising!), stress management, self-care, the best options for testing, symptom management, hormone replacement therapy and so much more!

You do NOT have to be a victim of menopause or worsening autoimmune symptoms - so much is within your control!

Have you ever considered what turns the immune system against our own body tissues?

Is there more to it than just our genes, nutrition, stress and environmental triggers? How deep do we have to dig to find and solve our true root cause?

In this episode of The Autoimmune Simplified Podcast we dive into the deep and fascinating topic of the unconscious mind with Dr. Tonia Winchester, Naturopathic Doctor, Neurolinguistic Programming Coach and Timeline Therapy Practitioner.

After years of playing root cause detective and feeling somewhat dissatisfied with what naturopathic medicine alone could offer, Dr. Winchester decided to harness the power of her patient's subconscious mind to clear hidden root causes, address past trauma and literally rewire their minds and bodies for success, restoring balance and harmony in their immune systems.

Don't think it's possible? Don't let your limiting beliefs stand in the way of your own health and healing, be sure to listen in!

About Dr. Tonia Winchester, ND, NLP Coach and Practitioner, Timeline Therapy Practitioner:

She is particularly excited about adding this to her tool kit because it has the power to change people's habits by rewiring their minds for positivity and self care. When she's not leading others to joy and vitality she is hanging out in the forest with her dog, and making art of various forms.
