Mold & Mercury Detox, Creatine Pitfalls & Vital Farms Egg Controversy | Ask Me Anything

WATCH THE FULL-LENGTH EPISODE HERE ON YOUTUBE! 

In this Ask Me Anything episode of The Art of Being Well, I’m joined by my clinical team to answer listener questions on mold exposure, mercury amalgam fillings, dental sealants, creatine side effects, and the current debate around eggs and linoleic acid.

We talk about why mold sensitivity is highly bioindividual, how genetics and detox capacity can shape your symptom picture, and what it looks like to support detox pathways without fear or extremes. We also break down what to consider before removing amalgam fillings, why dosing and timing matter with creatine, and how to navigate nutrition headlines with more nuance than panic.

If you’ve felt overwhelmed by conflicting information online, this episode is meant to bring clarity, context, and practical direction you can actually use.

A few of my favorite things we cover in this episode: 

• Why mold exposure is not one-size-fits-all
• The role of genetics (HLA, methylation) in mold sensitivity
• Why resilience matters more than avoidance
• Workplace mold vs home exposure considerations
• How to support detox pathways while still living your life
• When binders and glutathione are helpful
• What SMART mercury amalgam removal involves
• Why removal can be riskier than keeping fillings if not done properly
