So we have to understand what type of mold are we talking about? How much and how long have you been exposed to the mold? And then what's your bioindividual tolerance to that mold? That genetic epigenetic puzzle, right? So all these variables matter. Because I think one accusation that we can get in functional medicine is like...

fear mongering around something like mold, but it's people lose the context and the nuance. Like when I do a social media post, it's not a two hour consultation. So forgive me if I give you statistics about mold and realize that I don't want everybody to be freaking out. But the reality is it is a piece of the puzzle. And when you talk to people for a living,

it's something that's missed very often. So I wouldn't even want to shut up. Yeah, I just want to bring the awareness. Exactly, exactly.

So to answer your question pointedly, it's a blood test and or a urine test, and I would say both are important because I want to look at the immune system's response to the pathogen, whether it's a mold, bacteria, or virus, and I want to look at if you can measure it, and a lot of these things you can, actually quantify the mycotoxins in the body. So looking at...

So looking at...

the blood the immunological and the toxic burden of mold and then these other man-made toxins that can be exacerbating it and a lot of these like epstein-barr virus and other things that can be reactivated are because of these other toxins because like the statistic is like somewhere like 90 some percent of people have epstein-barr virus antibodies right 90 percent of people don't have reactivated ebv so just because you have antibodies doesn't mean it's a reactivated yeah yeah there's igm and igg2 so you can see the difference between dormancy and

But I see a lot of people, they'll see antibodies and then they'll automatically think it's a reactivated. Not necessarily, but it can be. And mold and man-made toxins can be something that's perpetuating these viral reactivations. So that's where you would start. And then I would look at the genetic component because almost always it's going to be this big aha moment.

I'm like, oh, that's why I'm sensitive to mold, but my spouse isn't. Because there's a lot of marital relationship gaslighting going on where it's like, they think they're a hypochondriac. Like the husband, not to generalize, but the husband typically is like, yeah, she's hypochondriac. She's just making it up. But you run his genetics. He doesn't have the same methylation and HLA gene variants.
