Telling The Truth About Mold Illness, Functional Medicine Testing, and Your Thyroid
I recently sat down with Andy Feltovich of The Signal. Among other things we covered mold toxicity, thyroid over-prescribing, and the testing obsession that's quietly bankrupting patients without making them better.
