Ep 62: The Hidden Gut Disruptor: How Mold Exposure Impacts Your Digestion, Gut Microbiome & Histamine
The Nutrient Dense PodcastShow Notes
Mold exposure is one of the most overlooked root causes of chronic gut issues — and one that's frequently missed even in functional health spaces.
In this episode of the Nutrient Dense Podcast, Hannah breaks down how mold and mycotoxin exposure can disrupt digestion, damage the gut lining, alter the gut microbiome, and trigger symptoms like bloating, constipation, food sensitivities, histamine intolerance, anxiety, brain fog, and chronic fatigue.
If you've done multiple gut protocols, worked with practitioners, run testing, and still feel stuck with digestive issues that won't resolve, mold exposure may be a missing piece.
Hannah shares signs that mold could be contributing to your symptoms, explains how mycotoxins impact the gut on a physiological level, and discusses why some people become much more sensitive to supplements and protocols when mold is involved.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT IN THIS EPISODE: Mold exposure can be a hidden root cause of chronic gut issues that don't respond to standard protocols Mycotoxins can damage the gut lining, increasing intestinal permeability (leaky gut) Mold can disrupt the gut microbiome, contributing to SIBO, candida, and dysbiosis Mold exposure may impair bile flow, which affects digestion, detoxification, and hormone balance Histamine intolerance and mast cell activation can worsen when mold is present Symptoms like brain fog, anxiety, chronic fatigue, and skin issues may be connected to mold exposure

In this episode, I'm breaking down what a realistic gut repair timeline can look like, why some clients notice changes within weeks while others need several months, and what influences that process. I explain why we work in phases, what our priming phase involves, and why ongoing support and adjustments are such important parts of our approach.
You're eating well, taking care of yourself, and doing the things that used to make you feel good - but suddenly your sleep, digestion, mood, and weight are changing. What gives?
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs)—and they're one of the most important pieces of gut health that I don't think we talk about enough. In this episode, I'm breaking down the three primary short-chain fatty acids—butyrate, acetate, and propionate—and explaining how they influence your gut barrier, immune system, inflammation, metabolic health, and even the pH of your colon.
Rates of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis have risen dramatically over the last several decades, but why? In today's episode, I'm joined by holistic nutritionist and physician consultant Josh Dech for a conversation about inflammatory bowel disease, the gut microbiome, environmental exposures, and the many factors that may influence why someone develops chronic digestive disease. Josh specializes in Crohn's, colitis, and severe IBS and shares both his personal health journey and the framework he uses when working with complex IBD cases.
Have you ever cleaned up your diet only to find yourself more bloated, gassy, constipated, nauseous, or uncomfortable than you were before? You've added in more veggies and gut health foods and instead of feeling amazing, your digestion seems to be getting worse.
