In today's episode of Breaking Boundaries for Entrepreneurs, we're diving into the shadowy world of stealth pathogens. First up, we'll be talking about mold toxicity. This invisible intruder can stealthily invade your health, sap your energy and even throw your business off course, all while hiding in plain sight. But here's the twist many people don't even realize they're battling mold toxicity. Could that be you? Stick around, because today we're uncovering how mold can secretly derail your health and what you can do to take back control. Stay tuned.

Hello. I'm Jeffrey Mort. If you're like most entrepreneurs, you're busy taking care of business, yet who's taking care of you? If you're ready to take your energy and performance to the next level in your life and your business, then this podcast is for you and your business. Then this podcast is for you, because today you're going to start breaking boundaries of your mind, body and business with integrative health, and when you do that, your possibilities are limitless. I'm grateful you're here. Yes, always grateful for you joining me here today on the Breaking Boundaries for Entrepreneurs podcast. Do you have a health mystery? Me here today on the Breaking Boundaries for Entrepreneurs podcast. Do you have a health mystery? Well, send us a message with your question right in the show notes and we'll answer your question on one of our episodes, or create an entire episode about that question.

Speaker 1: 3:52

So let's get into today's topic. What is mold toxicity and why should you care? Well, mold just isn't an aesthetic issue on your walls or a faint musty smell in your basement. Certain molds produce mycotoxins, which are highly toxic compounds that can infiltrate your body through the air that you breathe, through the water that you drink and even the food that you eat. For entrepreneurs and high performers, this toxicity can manifest as brain fog and memory issues, persistent fatigue, no matter how much you sleep, skin rashes, allergies, sinus infections, hormonal imbalances, weight gain, mood swings, anxiety or even depression, and the list goes on and on. Imagine trying to run a business while battling symptoms that no one, not even you, connects to the mold hiding in your environment. So the first step to addressing mold toxicity is identifying it and then eliminating the source.

Speaker 1: 5:01

Environmental mold testing is a critical step, and I'm going to go over the reason that is. Mold often thrives in hidden areas like HVAC systems. It can be behind walls and even underneath flooring. Rem remediation is necessary to remove the mold safely and effectively. Without this step, your body remains in a constant state of exposure. So even if you were working to remedy some of these issues, if you're still in that environment, you're still bringing that mold toxicity into your body. So a pro tip is start by testing your home and your workspace. These are your primary environments and ensuring they're mold free is crucial.

Speaker 1: 5:47

Now you can find a simple mold test. You can get those on Amazon. Some of them are based on what is called an ERMI test E-R-M-I, ermi test, e-r-m-i. Or you can hire a testing agency, an inspection agency specifically for mold, that can use some higher level testing than what you could buy on Amazon or a higher level than what's based on the ERMI test. One company that comes to mind and I have no affiliation with them it's called we inspect. I believe it's we inspect calm. You can fact-check me on that one, but we inspect. If it comes up as a mold testing company, that's definitely the one.

Speaker 1: 6:31

So step 2 Mold health assessment. This could be impacting you. So here are some key questions. I want to be able to give you sort of an assessment or an evaluation here. Just a few questions to see if you are at risk. So, do you have chronic sinus congestion, allergies or unexplained respiratory issues? If you do, you could have mold toxicity. Have you experienced sudden fatigue or brain fog that you can't attribute to stress or overwork, or some sort of uh, you know cold or illness or anything like that? Do you notice a musty odor in your home or workspace? That's usually a dead giveaway. Most of us can pinpoint you know a moldy smell or something like that, but uh, you know, do you notice that in your home or specific areas of your home, maybe the bathroom, maybe the basement, maybe near the attic or workspace? Now, have you had water damage or leaks in the past, even if it was 10 years ago? If you answer yes to that question, there could be mold in your environment. And last but not least and these are just a couple of the questions from our mold toxicity uh quiz or assessment do you feel better when you're away from home for a few days? You go away on a short trip or vacation or away from the weekend, and you feel better, but then, when you come back home or get back to work, your symptoms come back. So if you answered yes to any of these mold toxicity could be a hidden factor in your health struggles.

Speaker 1: 8:10

So let's talk about testing Now. We talked about testing for your environment. Let's talk about testing for your body and testing for root causes. So functional lab testing is absolutely key to uncovering how deeply mold has infiltrated your system. And remember, if you have, you know maybe you had mold in a previous home or apartment and you moved and you're like, oh, that's in the past. Once mold mold gets into your body, just like in your home, it doesn't actually go away until it's remediated. Right? Let's say you had a water leak and that water leak caused some wet environment, which mold grew, and then the water leak was fixed. Well, that mold might dry out and not be wet any longer. When it dries out, it becomes airborne, and when it's airborne, it's still in the environment.

Speaker 1: 9:06

So we're going to talk about a couple of powerful at-home health tests that we offer over at Love Energy Wellness, our private wellness practice. And the first test it's called an organic acids test. It's known as the OAT or organic acids test. In the industry we call it the candida metabolic and vitamins test, but it also measures fungal overgrowth in the gut. Now it measures much more than that. It has 75 different biomarkers from just a simple urine sample, but it evaluates metabolic markers that mold impacts. So this is a great lead-in to understand if maybe a client is working dealing with some mold toxicity. And then if those fungal overgrowth markers are elevated and there's a few of them on there if they're all elevated, then usually what we recommend is something called the mycotoxin or mold toxicity lab test, and this is a targeted test to detect the exact type and the exact levels of mycotoxins in your body. So these tests reveal what traditional health approaches often miss, providing clarity and direction for your healing.

Speaker 1: 10:15

Now I want to talk about that direction here in the next step. And direction for your healing. Now I want to talk about that direction here in the next step. And this is where we get into individualized wellness plans. So once we identify those root causes and we know what kind of stealth pathogens we're working with and this is just the first of a series that I'm going to do on the different stealth pathogens once we identify those, we can create a personalized wellness plan using clinically proven all-natural protocols. These are designed to support your body's detoxification pathways, repair and restore your gut and your immune system very, very important and then rebalance your body to eliminate symptoms and enhance overall wellness.
