Dr’s Chad & Becky’s Story
Nobody likes to see a 6 month old suffering, especially their own daughter. Ruby had itchy, scaly skin, thinning hair, dark circles under her eyes and completely disrupted sleep schedules. As any parent would do, we turned over every stone, wondering why our perfectly healthy daughter was suddenly having these symptoms. With our background as Functional Medicine Doctors we had been doing everything to support her healing, but this time it wasn’t enough. We knew there must be something in her environment that continued to affect her health.
We tested Ruby AND our home for mold. Our results were unsettling, the testing revealed high counts of toxic mold, some even linked to cancer. There were no obvious signs of mold anywhere in our home. After running into many dead ends, we FINALLY GOT TO THE ROOT CAUSE OF OUR PROBLEM. Looking back, 17 years later, we’re so grateful for the knowledge gained. We are now focusing that passion into helping others find solutions and regain their health.
Mold AMPLIFIES Inflammation
Mold will generally make inflammatory pain worse. People could possibly be over medicating because they are under constant exposure.
A “BIG CLUE” here is; if you are diligently working on a health concern and you are not seeing improvements OR maybe even getting worse, you should consider mold exposure as a possibility.
Mycotoxins
Mycotoxins are produced in higher quantities when mold is growing and reproducing. This is why it is critical to find the source of your mold. If you simple ‘wipe up’ the mold, it generally returns because the source is still present. It is estimated 50-70% of homes have a mold problem & more than 20% of asthma cases are related to mold. Not only can some of these molds produce these toxic compounds, mold can also decay and degrade building materials causing structural damage and decrease in property value.
VOC’s
VOC’s are volatile Organic Compounds. These are not stable at normal temperature and escape into the air, creating poor air quality. Typically, VOC’s are found in building materials, daily use items like carpet, paints, wood finishes, cleaners, flame retardants, detergents, candles, etc…
That is correct, the cleaner you use to clean up dirt, could be part of the problem! Similar to mold, VOC’s effect each of us differently and can contribute to a wide variety of symptoms.

Toxic Mold Exposure
Mold comes in many forms and can affect us all differently. Health conditions related to mold date back centuries. Today, we have great tools and technology to assess both you and your home for mold concerns.
Here is an interesting fact about mold, there is no set limit of mold exposure. This means mold is often overlooked as a possible source to your health concern.
Similar to chemical exposure, mold exposure is related to many symptoms and diseases. These conditions can be severe, or simply linger around as nagging symptoms such as running nose, skin irritation, headache, etc…
