This week on the Autoimmune Simplified Podcast we dive into the research on gluten, celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, FODMAPs, pesticides, leaky gut, absorption, methylation (MTHFR) and so much more!

Gluten sensitivity goes FAR beyond the tell-tale symptoms of digestive discomfort, so if you're struggling with autoimmune disease, depression, headaches, skin issues, fatigue, numbness and tingling, joint and bone pain, inflammation and swelling, anemia, muscle contractions, foggy thinking or behavior change you're going to want to listen in!

After this episode you'll have a better understanding of the ins and outs of gluten and its far reaching effects on the body as a whole … even if you don't think it's impacting your life.

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!
