What an awesome episode with Ashley Drummonds, a board-certified integrative health practitioner, former Shark Tank founder, lifelong fitness coach, and someone who’s personally walked through mold toxicity while still competing, building a business, and trying to keep life together on the outside.

Ashley shares what it actually looked like when things started going wrong: rashes that wouldn’t go away, adrenaline jolts waking her up at night, bladder pain that got labeled as “cystitis,” vertigo, and episodes of shortness of breath that were brushed off as anxiety.

Like a lot of people in this space, she didn’t get one clean answer… she got a lot of trial and error. And some of those “protocols” actually made things worse. Before the binders, before the supplements, Ashley breaks down why things like eating enough protein, not fearing healthy carbohydrates, and rebuilding strength through resistance training can change how the body actually handles stress, inflammation, blood sugar, and recovery.

This is a grounded conversation about stepping back from extremes and rebuilding capacity first so your body can actually respond to everything else you’re trying to do for it.

You’re in for an awesome episode today! I sat down with functional practitioner and Balancing Hormones Naturally podcast host Leah Brueggeman to talk fertility, hormones, and the environmental stressors most people overlook.

Leah breaks down how toxins, everyday products, and nervous system stress can disrupt hormone balance in both women and men… often without obvious warning signs. We dig into the foundations of hormone health, including blood sugar balance, minerals, digestion, protein, fiber, and why “doing all the right things” doesn’t work if the body is stuck in survival mode.

Leah also shares her personal health journey and practical, realistic steps to reduce endocrine disruptors in daily life, support fertility naturally, and create a healthier internal environment for conception.

If fertility or hormone health has felt confusing, frustrating, or out of reach, this episode offers clarity, perspective, and actionable guidance!

Get ready for today’s episode because I got to talk with the awesome Dr. Paul Savage, founder of MD Lifespan! And we explore a treatment most people have never heard of, Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE), and why it’s becoming part of the conversation around chronic illness and environmental exposure.Many people dealing with conditions like mold toxicity, Lyme disease, autoimmune illness, and chronic inflammation are doing everything “right,” yet still struggling. One of the biggest missing pieces is often ongoing environmental toxin exposure and the body’s inability to clear that load effectively.Dr. Savage explains how environmental toxins and biotoxins accumulate in the bloodstream, how this can drive persistent symptoms, and why we’re now seeing measurable neurotoxins even in newborns. The conversation breaks down the science behind TPE, how it works to remove inflammatory and toxic components from plasma, and where it may fit into a broader healing strategy.This episode is all about understanding why some bodies stay stuck and how addressing environmental load may change the equation.

Today I sit down for an awesome episode with Dr. Haroldo Magariños, founder of DetoxU, dentist, and naturopathic doctor specializing in the oral-gut axis and microbiome health. We talked about something most people overlook: how your mouth and gut are connected and why it matters for your whole body health.

We explore the oral gut connection and why issues like periodontal disease are rarely just dental problems. Dr. Magariños explains how chronic oral infections, environmental toxins, and an overburdened detox system can quietly contribute to systemic inflammation and ongoing symptoms. We talk about why focusing on individual symptoms often misses the bigger picture.

We also dive into biological dentistry, the oral microbiome, and how detox pathways actually function. Dr. Magariños shares practical insights on supporting detoxification in a way that makes sense, where people often go wrong with detox approaches, and how binders fit into a broader strategy for helping the body clear toxins.

If you are dealing with persistent gut issues, inflammatory symptoms, or feel like your body is not clearing things the way it should, then definitely take a listen!

Today we’re diving into something most people never think to connect with mold or their environment… heart disease. Yep the number one cause of death in the U.S.

I’m joined by Dr. John Kim, a functional medicine practitioner and the founder of Kim Wellness. Dr. Kim has an incredible story. At just 33, he had a heart attack with no classic risk factors. That experience sent him down the rabbit hole of why a “healthy” guy ends up in the ER… and that journey eventually led him straight to environmental exposures, including mold toxicity.

We get into the stuff your doctor probably isn’t talking about: how toxins in your home impact cholesterol production, inflammation, mitochondrial function, your immune system, and ultimately your heart. Dr. Kim breaks down how different environmental stressors stack over time and why so many people are walking around with symptoms no one is connecting back to their space.

He also walks us through his six-step “Encore Method,” where he focuses on everything between lowering environmental impact, opening up detox pathways, rebuilding the microbiome, and helping the body become more resilient overall.

If anything we talked about today hit home, Dr. Kim set up a really awesome #moldfinders special! He’s offering a super discounted 45-minute Discovery Call to help you start digging into the hidden root causes.

Today’s episode is an awesome one! I talk with Dr. Trish Leigh, a cognitive neuroscientist and neurofeedback expert, about how mold and other environmental toxins can affect brain function.

Have you ever wondered if your brain fog, fatigue, or even sensory overload was not just in your head but connected to your environment?

Dr. Leigh shares her own story of dealing with environmental exposure and explains how brain mapping and neurofeedback can help you “rewire” your brain. We get into how the nervous system reacts to toxins, why removing environmental triggers is so important, and how neurofeedback can support recovery once the source is addressed.

You will also learn about the brain’s role in detox pathways, what happens when those systems get disrupted, and practical ways to help your brain and body heal.

If you have ever wondered how your environment could be affecting your brain and what you can do about it, this episode is a must-listen!

This is a big one!! Our 200th episode of moldfinders: RADIO! 🎉

And who better to celebrate with than Dr. Jill Crista! If you're knew here Dr. Crista joins every 50th episode. A tradition I don't think we'll ever stop.

Every time she joins, we get deeper into the real, practical stuff that can make a difference for people dealing with mold illness.

In this episode, we dig into:

• How mold makes conditions like Lyme and autoimmunity worse (and what you can do about it).

• Why remediation feels overwhelming—and how to simplify by focusing on high-impact areas first.

• The different types of mold toxins and what they can do to your health.

• Mold colonization in the body, especially in the sinuses, and what to do when symptoms linger even after you’ve cleaned up your environment.

• Practical nasal treatment strategies, plus resources like Dr. Jill’s masterclasses where she dives even deeper.

We also talk about the Mold IQ Research Initiative—a project working to validate symptom questionnaires against lab results so people can get better answers, faster.

In this episode, I sit down with Katrina Foe, a Functional Nutritionist and Board-Certified Holistic Nutritionist with advanced certifications in integrative oncology, and the founder of cancerfreedom.com.

Katrina shares her personal cancer story, including how hidden mold played a major role in her diagnosis. We talk about the critical link between mold and cancer, the importance of functional testing, and the misconceptions that keep so many people from getting to the root cause of their illness.

She also lays out the strategic order of healing, why addressing mold first is so important before working on other systems, and shares some of her go-to detox and prevention strategies.

One of the more surprising things we get into is her recommendation of coffee enemas for liver support and overall detoxification.
