The Health Edge 39: Mold Toxicity Syndrome

In this episode of The Health Edge John and Mark explore the relationship between mold exposure from water damaged buildings (WDB) and complex multisystem health challenges that are far more common than appreciated. They explore some of the mechanisms that link mold exposure and biotoxins from WDBs and food sources to chronic systemic inflammation. They conclude with some strategies for testing, remediation and treatment.

The Health Edge 39: Mold Toxicity and Health

In this episode of The Health Edge John and Mark explore the relationship between mold exposure from water damaged buildings (WDB) and complex multisystem health challenges that are far more common than appreciated.

The Health Edge: Microbiome-Gut-Brain Health Part Two

In part two, of this series on the connection between lifestyle, alterations of the microbiome, gut and brain connections and behavioral health, John and Mark examine the literature using fermentable foods and probiotics. In these studies, improvements in mood, anxiety, appetite regulation, cognition, and brain structure-function have been demonstrated. Mark and John summarize lifestyle interventions that can improve behavioral-mental health and allow people to come off or avoid psychtropic drugs, anti-depressants, and anxiolytics.
