In this episode, we sit down with our guest Dawn to talk about something most people don’t even realize could be impacting their health: mold toxicity.

Dawn is a former health and fitness coach who did everything right. She ate well. She moved her body. She took care of herself. And yet—things slowly started falling apart. Aches and pains in her ankles. Disrupted sleep. Weight creeping up. Constant exhaustion. When she went to her primary care provider, the answer was simple and dismissive: you’re just getting older.

But Dawn couldn’t accept that this was just her new normal.

What followed was a long, frustrating journey through holistic approaches, alternative practitioners, and deeper testing—until she finally uncovered the real root cause: mold toxicity. In this conversation, we break down what mold toxicity actually is, how common it may be, the symptoms that often get overlooked or misdiagnosed, and what Dawn has done to begin healing.

More than two and a half years later, she’s still navigating the long-term effects—and redefining what “normal” looks like for her now. There’s so much to unpack that we intentionally leave this conversation open, because we know it’s going to spark questions… and we’re just getting started.
