Since 1999, Doug Kaufmann’s TV show Know the Cause has warned millions about the fungus factor most doctors overlook. Hot on the heels of Ann Louise’s viral Facebook post—where she told her followers about her personal battle with mold—the two leading edge pioneers dive straight into the latest evidence about how fungi and their poisons, mycotoxins, may be fueling everything from rising PSA scores to stubborn skin flare-ups and even those stubborn coughs. Kaufmann walks listeners through a 2022 pan-cancer study that found fungal DNA in every one of 35 tumor types, explains why corn tops the mycotoxin list, and shows how our antifungal defenses weaken with age.

Kaufmann outlines a no-nonsense plan: slash the sugars and refined carbs mold lives on, fortify with binders like psyllium plus immune staples such as vitamin D-3 and zinc, and confirm the problem with smart testing. His first choice is an IgM antibody screen—a quick blood draw that flags an active fungal fight—followed by a RealTime Labs urine panel and targeted cultures to pinpoint the load before treatment.

If aches, brain fog, or “mystery” lab numbers refuse to budge, this conversation offers a new lens—and an action plan—to clear mold from the shadows and reclaim your health. Catch the episode, grab the steps that resonate, and learn more at KnowTheCause.com.
