If you’ve been sick for months or years with no clear answers, this episode is for you.

Dr. Eric Potter of Sanctuary Functional Medicine joins Michael Rubino to discuss how mold exposure impacts the immune system, brain function, hormones, fertility, and long-term health.

While conventional medicine often focuses on respiratory symptoms, mold illness can present as multi-system dysfunction: brain fog, chronic fatigue, food sensitivities, depression, strange medication reactions, recurrent infections, infertility, and autoimmune issues.

Dr. Potter explains:
• Why mold is missed in traditional medicine
• How mold suppresses immune function
• Why detox takes time
• Why you cannot fully heal while still in exposure
• How mold affects fertility and hormone balance
• The connection between mold and longevity

About Dr. Potter
Dr. Eric Potter graduated from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine before completing dual training in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics. Over the years, he has cared for patients of all ages and backgrounds, continually expanding his medical knowledge and clinical skills. He later dedicated hundreds of hours to earn his Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM) Certification, placing him among a select group of practitioners in the region who have completed the full program. At Sanctuary, he combines the best of conventional medicine with the best of functional medicine to deliver truly comprehensive care.

Beyond his extensive training, Dr. Potter has personally experienced the challenges of today’s healthcare system—both as a physician and as a family member supporting loved ones through illness. These experiences fueled his desire to create a better model of care. By stepping outside the insurance-driven system, he is able to offer longer visits, whole-person care, and unbiased recommendations with wholesale pricing on labs and supplements. Practicing functional medicine enables him to uncover root causes rather than simply manage symptoms, serving as a trusted advocate for patients seeking a healthier, more abundant life.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Potter is married and a father of six, with a family story shaped by God’s providence, including the blessing of adoption. He enjoys running, reading, hiking, and spending quality time with his family.
