176: Dr. Jill Crista - Breaking the Mold To Take Back Your Health

176: Dr. Jill Crista - Breaking the Mold To Take Back Your Health

Author: Dr. Anthony Gustin June 24, 2023 Duration: 1:03:29

Dr. Jill Crista is a leading expert at the forefront of diagnosing and treating mold-related illnesses. She comes on the show to discuss how mycotoxins harm your health while flying under the radar of conventional testing and medical protocols.

 

A trained functional medicine naturopath, Dr. Jill first encountered mold sickness when she couldn't help a group of Lyme disease patients feel better. Turns out, all but one tested positive for mold.

 

Dr. Jill then moved into a new house with an uninvited resident (hint: it was mold) and watched her family struggle with symptoms before realizing the cause, further prompting her research. 

 

If mold is lurking anywhere, it's affecting you. 

 

But you can naturally detox your body and heal using the wisdom Dr. Jill shares in this episode, including:

  • Common symptoms of mold sickness. 

  • The best collection models and tests for your home and health.

  • Why inspectors and medical experts turn a blind eye to mycotoxins (even though they cause 70-80% of mold sickness symptoms).

  • How mycotoxins change your immune system and increase allergy sensitivities.

  • The best ways to eliminate mycotoxins and help your body naturally detox (including which foods to eat and avoid).

  • What makes mold more aggressive and encourages more mycotoxin production (and why routes like burning clean incense may help).

Dr. Anthony Gustin operates from a simple yet profound premise: health is our default setting. His The Natural State with Dr. Anthony Gustin is built on the idea that so much of what we call illness or fatigue stems from a mismatch between our biology and the world we've built. This isn't just another health podcast offering quick fixes. Instead, each conversation is a deep, practical exploration of how to construct a life that aligns with our fundamental needs. You'll hear from a carefully selected roster of experts-nutrition scientists, innovative fitness practitioners, and researchers who are redefining their fields. The discussions move beyond surface-level advice to examine the root causes of metabolic dysfunction, low energy, and chronic stress. What makes this podcast particularly valuable is its commitment to translation; complex biochemistry and physiology are broken down into actionable insights you can use immediately. Episodes regularly delve into the nuances of ancestral eating patterns, the science of strength and movement, and the environmental toxins that disrupt our systems. The goal is always clarity and application, providing a roadmap to strip away the noise of modern health trends and rebuild what Dr. Gustin calls a proper human environment. Tune in for thoughtful, evidence-based dialogues that empower you to reclaim the vitality that should be your natural state.
