Show Notes

Dr. Ernesto Medina joins us to talk about Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS), a condition caused by toxins like mold, and how it can mimic or worsen menopause symptoms.

He explains why some of us are more sensitive to these toxins, how they trigger inflammation, and what practical steps you can take to identify and eliminate them. If you’ve tried everything and still feel like something’s missing, tune in to uncover what could be going on behind the scenes.

For mold testing, check out these tools: ERMI Testing and HERTSMI-2 Testing to identify potential issues in your home.
