Are you aware of the hidden dangers lurking in your environment that could be silently impacting your bone health? In today's episode, I'm thrilled to have Dr. Jill Carnahan, a leading functional medicine consultant and survivor of cancer, Crohn's disease, and toxic mold illness. We're diving into a topic that is both fascinating and incredibly important when it comes to your bone health: the impact of mold on your bones.

Dr. Jill brings a unique perspective on how mold can trigger systemic issues that contribute to bone dysfunction. She discusses the importance of identifying the root causes of bone health issues. We explore how mold exposure can lead to chronic inflammation, impact bone strength, and even disrupt immune system function, ultimately contributing to the development of osteoporosis.

Dr. Jill shares her insights on recognizing mold symptoms, how to test for exposure, and what steps you can take to remove it from your environment. If you think mold might be affecting your health, this episode is a must-listen! 

 

"If you do a timeline…and all of a sudden you see these factors in your life that could have changed your health, and all of a sudden you had symptoms after, they can be clues as to what in your environment could be contributing to your illness." ~ Dr. Jill Carnahan, MD, ABIHM, ABoIM, IFMCP
