Could your environment be affecting your health more than you realise?
In this episode of Entrepreneurial Truth, we sit down with entrepreneur and master jeweller Katie Poterala to talk about her personal journey through illness, mold exposure, stress, entrepreneurship, and rebuilding her health and business.
Katie shares how working in a commercial jewellery space led to a series of health struggles, including severe sinus issues, brain fog, exhaustion, hand tremors, and loss of grip strength. After years of trying to understand what was happening, she discovered mold in her environment and began investigating the possible connection between her surroundings and her health.
We also talk about functional health, environmental factors, stress, root-cause approaches, and why paying attention to what your body is telling you matters.
Beyond health, Katie opens up about closing a successful business, starting again, managing two businesses, setting boundaries, avoiding burnout, and building a more sustainable way of working.
If you’re an entrepreneur, creative, business owner, or simply interested in functional health, mold exposure, indoor environments, stress management, and sustainable entrepreneurship, this conversation offers plenty to think about.
