mold

NUTS All nuts, especially peanuts (legumes), are likely sources of mold toxins. The nuts with the lowest risk are those you purchase still in their shells,

drywall. To avoid mold formation and exposure, I recommend you do the following: • Keep house dust to a minimum. Mop all floors and dust all surfaces at least once a week. Use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter (I use a brand called Rainbow). HEPA-filter vacuums capture the widest range of particles and potential allergens. • Use a dehumidifier in

So if you think you may be exposed to mold, be extremely aggressive in addressing it.

Toxic mold exposure hits your brain mitochondria first, then your gut, and then your skin, and it can really damage your performance in the process.

Many studies have shown that common mold toxins in food cause mitochondrial dysfunction.10 But most people don’t know when they’ve been exposed to mold, and they don’t realize that an “off” day might just be a sign of mitochondrial dysfunction.

Fungi are in between animals and plants. Their cell walls are made of chitin—a substance never found in plants—which makes them more like insects.

One type of mold toxin, called ochratoxin A (OTA)—found especially in high-polyphenol foods such as coffee, chocolate, wine, grains, and beer—is pure mitochondrial kryptonite.
