Have you been told your symptoms are "just stress" or "all in your head" — but deep down, you know something isn't right?
In this powerful episode, Dr. Andrea McSwain is joined by Lead Nurse Richelle Korienek to explore one of the most overlooked (and misdiagnosed) causes of chronic illness: mold toxicity.
From brain fog and fatigue to autoimmune flares and hormonal chaos, mold exposure can mimic nearly every diagnosis in the book — and it often goes undetected in traditional lab work.
You'll learn:
The difference between mold exposure vs. infection
How mycotoxins impact your nervous, immune, and hormonal systems
Where mold hides in your home (even without a smell!)
The tests that can finally give you real answers (ERMI, mycotoxin panels, VCS & more)
Plus, Richelle shares her personal journey through unexplained illness, misdiagnosis, and ultimately discovering that the biggest toxin was in her walls.
🎧 If you've done all the "right" things and still don't feel well, this episode is for you.
