About This Episode
In episode #58 of The Alex Manos Podcast I speak with Naturopathic Doctor and Functional Medicine practitioner Dr. Jill Crista on mold and mycotoxins. Questions answered include:
What are mycotoxins?
Where are they found?
What are the health affects of mycotoxins?
How do you test for, and treat, mycotoxins?
This leads us in to a conversation discussing a functional medicine approach to treating mycotoxins including key dietary, lifestyle and supplement considerations. This includes the role of fatty acids and phytochemicals in supporting the body ‘dilute’ and detoxify these toxins.
Dr. Crista’s website is: https://drcrista.com
Her book, Break The Mold, is an excellent source of information – my favourite on this topic – and can be found on Amazon by clicking here. Check out my other book recommendations here.
Finally, you can buy mycotoxin urine tests in the UK from Regenerus Laboratories: click here. I can’t stress enough however the importance in working with an experienced practitioner during this process.
