The mold making people sick right now isn't hiding behind the drywall; it's sitting in the coffee, grains, and peanuts they eat every day.
Dr. Torrie Thompson is a functional wellness practitioner and founder of Meraki Wellness Center. She works with clients whose chronic symptoms don't add up on standard testing. She got into this work the hard way: A decade of doctors, exploratory surgery suggestions, a bottomed-out immune system flagged by accident, and eventually a mycotoxin test that came back thousands of times over the limit.
Her whole framework rests on one idea: most chronic symptoms aren't one thing. They're five or six things stacked on top of each other.
Mycotoxins pulling down the immune system. Parasites stealing minerals. Heavy metals and environmental toxins overloading the liver. Candida and SIBO showing up as symptoms of something deeper.
Sushi lovers, this episode is going to sting a little. So is the section on why most online parasite cleanses backfire, and what the long, stringy stuff people post on the internet really is.
Learn about testing, timing, order of operations, the two non-negotiables before any cleanse, and the foundational supplements Dr. Torrie uses across almost every client. It's the conversation I wish I'd had before my own mold diagnosis.
