Is mold on your health radar? Dr. Jill wants to make sure it is. In this episode of HealthMade Radio, Dr. Michael Karlfeldt interviews Dr. Jill Crista, a naturopathic doctor and one of the leading experts in treating mold-related illness, not only from her 20 years of working with patients but also because toxic mold sprouted in her own home. Mold can lurk without a trace or scent. If this is happening where you spend time, you could be sick from mold and not even know it! Dr. Jill Crista’s experience inspired her to write a book called Break The Mold. It clearly and simply outlines the tools that everyday people can use to conquer mold. Dr. Jill also trains doctors to become Mold-Literate and supports “Mold Canaries” through her membership portal.
Her motto: Break the mold, take back your health
