Quotes:

"The mold piece of the puzzle really I'm understanding now, has been the foundational layer to everything for me. I think it's actually what took my immune system beyond what it could handle and kind of broke down my body."

"One of the main symptoms of mold exposure is exhaustion, especially for sensitive. So if you're feeling really exhausted at home, that's a big sign that you're being exposed. The home is your number one priority & it's important to test your home."

"Mold can be pathogenic, meaning that it can take up residence inside of you and colonize and grow, but not all mold is toxic. So the specific strains that are toxic are the ones that release as mycotoxins. We want to be really be cautious of these. So when we go into the home and we test for mycotoxins, we're testing to see if those specific toxins are being released into the air and then from there you get the results and they will give you a really, really long remediation plan."

"You need to test your body. You need to see what's going on because if you're being exposed to mycotoxins there's a high chance that you're holding onto them. Cause a lot of mycotoxins do not clear naturally you actually have to push them out."
