I was exposed to high amounts of toxic mold two years ago while getting my graduate degree in Richmond, Virginia. I experienced physical, mental and neurocognitive challenges including memory and learning acquisition deficits. As a person with a healthy lifestyle and active mind, I felt like I was losing my life.
When a functional nurse practitioner suggested mold, I began to learn the devastating effects of mold exposure and our lack of systemic support for this sickness. 25% of humans cannot clear mold naturally due to genetics. There are simple solutions like sauna and binders, and more complex like our HVAC and housing systems. This is a public health crisis that doctors and property owners are perpetuating with ignorance. I hope this video sheds light and helps us get support for others.
