I’ve spent a lifetime battling symptoms like vein issues, miscarriages, migraines, weight struggles, skin conditions, and depression. In 2012, we adopted a little girl. I had hoped to avoid Autism risks by choosing a girl, but life had other plans.

Early signs in my daughter were dismissed as “normal,” but after her 15-month vaccines, her symptoms intensified—rash, hyperactivity, poor sleep, and behavioral challenges. Despite reassurances, my gut told me something was off. At age five, she was diagnosed with Autism, combined type ADHD, and multiple learning disabilities. This began a long journey of doctor visits, overwhelm, and learning that there are root causes to a diagnosis.

In 2021, while I was finally making progress with my undiagnosed chronic illnesses, I was hit with debilitating muscle cramps. Despite eating clean and exercising, traditional doctors dismissed my symptoms, blaming my weight (which was higher than ever) and varicose veins. Trusting my instincts, I sought answers elsewhere.

The diagnosis? Mold Illness. It turns out that I have a gene that 25% of the population has that prevents proper detoxing from mold—a silent, pervasive toxin. The toxic mold exposure triggered chronic inflammation, reactivating past pathogens and exacerbating years of damage from poor diet, antibiotics, and stress. It was a perfect storm that compromised my foundations, drainage pathways, and gut health. Guess what. My daughter has the same gene, and the symptoms present differently in kids.
