Is It Mold?

Discovering the root cause of a myriad of debilitating symptoms like chronic fatigue, brain fog, and skin issues can feel like a massive victory. This is precisely what happened when the culprit behind such distressing symptoms was finally identified as mold exposure. The realization that mold, an often-overlooked factor, was responsible offers a mix of relief and validation, providing a clear target for addressing long-standing health challenges.

However, understanding the depth of the problem also unveils a daunting path ahead. When the levels of toxins, such as ochratoxin A, were revealed to be alarmingly high, the advice to leave the contaminated environment seemed like an insurmountable task. The journey towards healing begins with acknowledging the impact of past exposures and making significant lifestyle adjustments to escape the source of sickness.

Sharing this personal ordeal is not about dwelling on the years lost to illness but about offering hope and guidance to others who might be silently suffering. By bringing awareness to the signs of mold exposure and encouraging early testing, the goal is to arm individuals with the knowledge needed to take proactive steps towards recovery. Recognizing the signs of mold and understanding its profound health implications can pave the way for healing and recovery, transforming personal adversity into an opportunity to aid others on their wellness journey.

Conventionally raised beef is loaded with antibiotics and growth hormones that stay with the animal and get passed on to the consumer. By eating grain-fed, non-organic meat, I am loading my body with even more estrogen.

Hi There!

 
Hello! Welcome to my little corner of the world. I am a midlife, empty-nest mom who has a heart for health, home, and hospitality. I'm here to  help you create a non-toxic, happy, healthy home for you and your family, pups included!  

I used to struggle with Hashimoto's, a sluggish thyroid, fatigue, and and a heaviness of sadness that weighed me down—all brought on by exposure to mold. It felt overwhelming, like I was stuck in a fog with no way out.

Then I discovered Joy essential oil, which changed everything. It brought a spark of hope and helped me feel lighter, step by step. It was the first step to finding the healing I longed for. 

Now I help midlife women who are ready to take back control of their health. If you, like me, have struggled with health issues and are ready to write a different story, I am here to help you make a shift toward adopting holistic lifestyle habits that help you thrive, not survive each day. Let me take the overwhelm out of where to start.

If that’s you, get in touch—I’d love to help.
