How Hidden Mold Affects Your Brain, Body & Immune System | Episode 95 with Dr. Jill Crista

Dr. Jill Crista is a licensed naturopathic doctor specializing in mold illness and environmental health. We sat down with Dr. Crista to explore why mold exposure affects some people more than others, how hidden mold can contribute to a wide range of physical and mental health symptoms, and why these cases are so often overlooked or misdiagnosed. We also discuss the science behind mold, mycotoxins, inflammation, and the complex ways environmental exposures can impact children and adults alike. Dr. Crista shares how years of treating chronic illness led her to uncover mold as a major root cause for many patients who weren't improving through conventional approaches.We also dive into the connection between mold exposure and PANS/PANDAS, the role pregnancy and early childhood exposure may play in long-term health, and practical steps families can take to reduce mold in their homes. Dr. Crista explains why mold illness can present differently from person to person, how environmental toxins may contribute to neuroinflammation and anxiety, and why identifying the root cause is so important for recovery.
