Hey friend,
Back in 2015, I experienced an unstable angina heart attack (NSTEMI) at just 33 years old—a life-altering moment that changed the course of my health and career. At first, I thought it was just heartburn. I never suspected that something as seemingly innocuous as mold could be playing a key role in this traumatic event.
As I dug deeper into my health journey, I uncovered a history of mold exposure that had been silently wreaking havoc on my body for years. Chronic symptoms like fatigue, food sensitivities, and even acne had been warning signs I ignored. It wasn’t until I turned to functional medicine and ran advanced tests that the pieces came together. My results revealed high levels of mycotoxins, including antibodies to Aspergillus mold.
Today, I want to share the critical role mold played in my heart attack and how you can take steps to protect yourself.
