I joined Kayty Helgerson on the Making Room by Gather Podcast for an important conversation about what’s often missing in our health journeys — not another pill, but intentional choices that support the body at a deeper level.

We talk about how the home environment, gut health, and overlooked exposures like mold can quietly drive chronic symptoms, autoimmunity, and fertility challenges. I share how my own unexpected health crash led me to step back, ask different questions, and apply systems thinking to understand what was really happening beneath the surface — an approach that now guides my work with patients.

In this episode, we discuss why mold in the home is such an underrecognized contributor to illness, how to assess your environment using tools like composite dust sampling, and when improving air quality becomes a critical step toward healing.

Whether you’re curious about longevity, preconception health, mold-related illness, or autoimmune disease, this conversation offers clarity, context, and hope. True healing doesn’t come from quick fixes — it comes from understanding root causes and creating the right conditions for the body to recover.
