22. The Devastating Effects of Toxic Mold Exposure with Ann Shippy, MD
Manage episode 430162099 series 3554524
This week, I'm doing something a little different on the podcast. I sat down for a heartfelt conversation with Dr. Ann Shippy, MD a fellow survivor and expert on toxic mold exposure. Unlike our typical interviews, this episode feels more like a deep dive into our personal experiences and the lessons we've learned about dealing with this hidden health hazard.
Ann shares her journey from a decade-long career as a chemical engineer to becoming a pioneer in functional medicine, driven by her own struggles with health that no conventional approach could resolve. Together, we explore the insidious nature of mold toxicity, which we’ve both struggled with.
Here’s what you’ll discover in this episode:
- The varied symptoms of mold exposure, such as exhaustion, joint pain, brain fog, and more.
- Our personal challenges, including the tough decisions we had to make about our homes and belongings to safeguard our health.
- Tips for constructing mold-resistant living spaces, drawing from the ups-and-downs I experienced building a home in Santa Fe.
- The emotional and psychological toll of mold toxicity and how mindfulness and EMDR therapy can play a part in healing.
Whether you're dealing with mold issues yourself, know someone who is, or just want to prevent future exposure, this conversation is packed with insights you won't want to miss.
