    2026/07/30
    There is a lot of confusion online on what mold testing to do to determine if you're sick from toxic mold. The reason is because there are a lot of types of mold tests that test for different things.

    325// Is mold sickness really reversible? [Testimonial - Keegan]
    2026/07/16
    Is mold sickness really reversible? If you've been on a mold healing journey for any time now, you've probably seen and learned enough to realize that healing from mold is no easy feat. You may have found yourself wondering - is it even possible to reverse mold illness? That's why today, to kickoff our second mold series on the Better Belly Podcast, I'm sharing a client testimonial to encourage you and remind you that, yes, it IS possible to heal from toxic mold exposure! Keegan is an 8 year old boy who, when I started working with him, was struggling with headaches, leg pain, belly pain, light sensitivity, dizziness, nausea, and spinal pain that was so bad that his father had to carry him because he couldn’t walk. Now, after just 6 months working together, the majority of his symptoms which had been untouchable are either 60% improved or more - many of which are completely gone! I hope that today’s episode confirms to you that yes, healing is possible. And to support that - in additional to today's testimonial, I've also put 2 links in the shownotes to my personal healing from mold testimonial (focused on how I healed my tinnitus) and a mold success story from my friend and mold colleague Matt Kelly on how he healed his family from mold. P.S. If you missed our 1st Mold Series, go to betterbellytherapies.com/mold to catch up on all the questions we’ve already answered that we’re building on with this next series. I'll be updating this free document every week with new episodes we're releasing, so be sure to save the link!
