Mold and mycotoxins are environmental toxins that may affect overall wellness, particularly in indoor spaces with excess moisture or poor ventilation. Molds produce compounds called mycotoxins, which may contribute to symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, congestion, skin irritation, or brain fog when exposure occurs through air, food, or contact. Long-term exposure may place added stress on the immune system and contribute to inflammation or other imbalances in the body.
 

Teresa Spano, ND, CNS, LDN, has completed advanced training in mold and mycotoxin education through a course taught by Dr. Jill Crista, a recognized expert in this field. She provides individualized, nutrition-based guidance to support the body’s natural detoxification and wellness processes following potential mold exposure. Her educational approach focuses on identifying possible sources of mold, exploring nutrition and lifestyle strategies that may support natural detoxification pathways, and supporting gut and immune health.

​

Comprehensive mycotoxin testing is available to provide insight into potential exposures. This testing is educational and evidence-informed; it is not intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent any medical condition. Personalized guidance is based on current scientific literature and functional nutrition principles.
