What are the symptoms of mold illness and how do you clear your body and home from mold? My guest, Dr. Emily Kiberd, shares her story of recovering from mold illness symptoms and navigating more than a dozen moldy homes. A chiropractor, Dr. Emily Kiberd never expected to add “mold specialist” to her list of qualifications. But then, she also never expected to find herself in at least seven moldy homes over the past 14 years, from New York City to Colorado. Across the years, she’s repeatedly seen mold-related symptoms arise in herself and her family. Each time, she’s had to take a multi-pronged approach to detox her body and either leave her home or remediate. Emily shared her journey and what she’s learned along the way about recovery, inspection, remediation, and more. In our conversation, you'll hear about… Her journey of escaping mold across multiple homes in two statesThe mold-triggered symptoms she experiences and the symptoms she sees in her kidsHow Emily has addressed her own and her family’s mold symptomsOther symptoms that may be linked to moldHow she’s addressed mold in various homesHow you might approach finding mold in your own homeTypes of mold testing for your body and homeWays to save money by starting with your own visual inspection and some tools to do this on your ownWhen to hire mold inspectors and remediatorsWhat happens if you can’t find the source?How to decide whether to stay or go if your home is moldyHow certain molds like certain types of materials and how to correlate that with your lab tests About Dr. Emily Kiberd Dr Emily Kiberd is a chiropractor of 16 years, mama to Elvis and Brooklyn, and founder of Thyroid Strong, the only doctor-designed strength program for the Hashi ladies to work out without burnout.
