It was my great honor to be invited on the Dr Mandy DCN Podcast along with my mentors Neil Nathan, MD and Ruth Kriz, APRN. We had a wonderful discussion on a number of mold-related topics. I hope you enjoy our conversation.
From the episode show notes:
"In this powerful roundtable episode, Dr. Mandy brings together three of the most trusted voices in mold illness and complex chronic disease: Scott Forsgren (Better Health Guy), Dr. Neil Nathan, and Ruth Kriz, NP. Together, they pull back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood yet pervasive root causes of chronic illness — mold exposure and CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome).
Whether you’re a patient struggling with fatigue, chronic UTIs, MCAS, Lyme, or “mystery symptoms” — or a practitioner looking for clinical clarity — this conversation is packed with critical insights you won’t find anywhere else.
We dive deep into:
- The core symptoms that often point to mold (even when labs miss it)
- Urine vs. blood testing — what’s reliable, what’s not, and how to avoid the biggest pitfalls
- Why biofilms may be the missing link in stubborn infections and IC (featuring Ruth Kriz)
- How to distinguish exposure vs colonization — and why treatment needs to reflect that
- The nuanced use of binders, antifungals, and herbals in real-life protocols
- When to reach for pharmaceuticals vs. natural therapies — and how to sequence them effectively
This isn’t just theory — it’s a clinical masterclass rooted in decades of frontline experience.
If you’ve hit roadblocks in your healing or suspect mold may be driving your symptoms, this episode could be the missing piece."
