Mycotoxins and Mold and How It Affects the Body with Jared Price
07/25/23 • 45 min
Show Summary:
“Biofilm-causing agents like Lyme disease, molds, and mycotoxins can be the main underlying cause of health issues. They invade the cells throughout the body, hindering the immune system's ability to combat them and preventing the body from recovering.”
Is something in your home impacting your well-being? If you're experiencing sore throat, brain fog, and sinus pain, mold exposure might be the culprit.
Mold and mycotoxins can trigger many symptoms, but detecting them can be challenging. Consequently, people exposed to mold may receive misdiagnoses such as Lupus, fibromyalgia, or Lyme disease.
Jared Price, ProvoHealth’s Head Nurse Practitioner, and Juanique explore the connection between mold and health and offer tips on identifying and preventing mold exposure.
If you're tired of feeling unwell and determined to uncover the root of your health issues, this episode is a must-listen.

- It's essential to support a healthy lymphatic system by staying hydrated and consuming enough protein to prevent the accumulation of mycotoxins in the brain.
- While the immune system can typically control Lyme disease and other viral infections, underlying issues such as mold exposure, leaky gut, or emotional trauma can overwhelm the immune system and trigger a reactivation of the condition.

Bioidentical Hormones for Men and Women with Jared Price
Show Summary:
“Bioidentical hormones do more than just build muscle; they boost energy and motivation and slow aging. If you want to age gracefully, supporting your hormones, adrenals, and thyroid is essential.”
As we age, our body's natural hormone production declines, causing shifts in energy, mood, libido, or weight that can disrupt our sense of well-being. These subtle changes may indicate a hormonal imbalance.
If you're experiencing these shifts, it may be worth considering bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). BHRT offers a natural approach to restore hormones to their optimal levels. However, the confusion around choosing the right bioidentical hormones and undergoing the necessary tests to evaluate hormone therapy effectiveness is common.
In this episode, Jared Price, Head Nurse Practitioner at Provohealth, returns to shed light on this often-overlooked topic. We explore the benefits of hormone therapy, delve into various treatment options, and provide guidance to help you identify the most suitable approach.
Stay tuned until the end to gain a deeper understanding of how bioidentical hormones can enhance your overall well-being. Don't miss Episode 75 of the Gutsy Health Podcast and leave a review for a chance to win a free hair analysis!
Exceptional Highlights:
