NBS #93: What Every Woman Should Know About Mold, Microplastics & Hormones

Send us Fan MailIn this powerful episode of Never Been Sicker, Michael Rubino sits down with Dr. Suzanne Gilberg, Chief Clinical Officer of MonarchMD and author of Menopause Bootcamp, for a wide-ranging and eye-opening conversation about how environmental toxins—from mold to microplastics—are silently impacting our health, especially women’s health.Dr. Gilberg is conventionally trained (board-certified in OBGYN and formerly in Integrative and Holistic Medicine), but her experience and curiosity led her to explore the deeper, often-overlooked environmental factors behind the rise in chronic illness—particularly among women going through perimenopause and menopause.Dr. Gilberg also shares why she founded Menopause Bootcamp, the movement she started to create safe, supportive spaces where women can learn, connect, and take control of their health—without shame or gaslighting.This conversation is a must-watch for anyone feeling dismissed, frustrated, or unsupported in their health journey. It’s also a wake-up call for how little our environment is being factored into mainstream healthcare—and why that needs to change.00:00 Introduction to Environmental Toxins and Health02:56 The Impact of Microplastics and Wildfires05:49 Understanding the Connection Between Environment and Health08:49 Air Quality and Public Health Initiatives11:50 Mold Exposure and Women's Health15:07 The Relationship Between Environmental Toxins and Menopause23:37 The State of Women's Health Research24:34 Inflammation and Women's Health28:12 Challenges in the Medical System32:49 Transitioning to a New Practice Model37:45 Menopause Bootcamp: Empowering Women42:32 Connecting with Dr. Suzanne Gilberg🌐 Learn more about Dr. Gilberg:https://www.thedrsuzanne.com📖 Book: Menopause Bootcamp📍 Based in Los Angeles, CA – accepting new patients (limited availability)https://www.facebook.com/askdrsuzanne/https://twitter.com/askdrsuzannehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/askdrsuzanne/https://www.instagram.com/askdrsuzanne/?hl=enhttps://www.tiktok.com/@askdrsuzannehttps://www.youtube.com/user/askdrsuzanne/videos
