75: Jason Earle: Mold Symptoms Women Often Mistake for Hormone Changes

Headaches, brain fog, fatigue, dizziness, anxiety, poor concentration, sinus problems, and feeling worse in certain buildings can easily be blamed on stress, hormones, or perimenopause. But mold exposure can create many of the same symptoms, which makes it difficult to know what your body is actually reacting to.

In this episode of Hello Hormones, I am talking with Jason Earle about the signs that your home or workplace may have a moisture and air-quality problem, why a musty smell matters even when you cannot see mold, and the four questions to ask before spending thousands of dollars on testing or remediation. We also get into air purifiers, HEPA vacuums, mold inspections, ERMI testing, urine mycotoxin panels, and why Jason believes food may explain more mycotoxin exposure than most people realize.

Jason Earle is the founder of GOT MOLD?® and has spent more than 20 years helping people understand mold, moisture, and indoor air quality. His work began after his own health improved when he left a mold-damaged home. He shares how to reduce exposure without becoming consumed by fear and why healing may require looking at your air, food, and nervous system together.
