In this insightful episode, Dr. Polly Watson is joined by Dr. Ami Ingram, a functional medicine physician with a specialty in mold-related illness. Together, they delve into the often-overlooked health impacts of mold exposure by highlighting how its symptoms can closely mimic or overlap with conditions like perimenopause, PCOS, and other hormonal imbalances. The conversation covers everything from recognizing the signs of mold toxicity to effective diagnostic strategies and the critical role of home testing. Both doctors share their personal experiences with mold, shedding light on how isolating the journey can be and emphasizing the power of community in the healing process. Dr. Ingram also introduces her accessible educational resources designed to empower individuals facing mold-related health issues - offering practical guidance, support, and most importantly, hope.
