🎙️ Episode 128: Why You Still Feel Stuck After Doing Everything Right - Stealth Infections, Mold & Hidden Stressors with Matt Cusano

What if the reason you still feel exhausted, bloated, inflamed, anxious, hormonally off, or stuck in your health journey isn’t because you need to try harder?What if there’s an internal stressor your body has been fighting for years?In this episode, I’m joined by Matt Cusano, co-founder of Ryze and Pure Factor Formulations, to talk about stealth infections: the hidden burdens that can impact your gut, hormones, immune system, energy, recovery, metabolism, and overall health.We talk about:* Why “just reduce stress” isn’t always the full answer* The 4 major categories of stealth infections: reactivated viruses, parasites, toxic exposure, and tick-borne illness* How mold, heavy metals, mycotoxins, Lyme, EBV, and other hidden burdens can keep the body in a chronic stress state* Why gut issues, hormone dysfunction, chronic fatigue, anxiety, sinus issues, and inflammation may be connected* Why comprehensive testing matters and why random cleanses or supplement protocols are not the move* How to think through symptoms with a root-cause lens instead of just chasing quick fixes⚠️ This episode is not about fear-mongering or telling everyone they have mold, Lyme, or parasites.It’s about asking better questions when someone has cleaned up their nutrition, improved their lifestyle, worked on stress, trained consistently… and still doesn’t feel good.Because sometimes the problem isn’t that you’re not doing enough.Sometimes your body is fighting something you haven’t found yet.Connect with Matt:* Instagram: @_mcusano* Ryze Health and Wellness (use code “FITHABITEMMA” for a discount on HRT & peptides)* Pure Factor Formulations Loved this episode?
