Infants
Toddlers
School-aged children
Adolescents
You don’t have to figure this out on your own. Get guidance from a doctor, experienced with helping children of all ages conquer mold.
Description: 9 Things To Know While You’re Still In Mold —
In one information-packed hour, Dr. Jill shares in detail what she’s recommending while her patients work out the logistics to resolve their mold exposure.
Some people have been turned away by mold-treating doctors, saying that there’s nothing they can do until they’re out of mold. Nothing could be further from the truth. There ARE things you can do – 9 things in fact – that support the systems of the body that are working hard to protect you.
Avoidance is still the Number 1 Key!
This course is not a replacement for removing yourself from mold. It’s an added tool to handle this very unique predicament.
Dr. Jill covers:
her crafty building secrets to prevent the mold from emitting excess mycotoxins,
the specifics of the Low-Mold High-Binder Diet,
her favorite nasal guardians,
the single most important body function you need to ensure is occurring every day
the “Fantastic Four” nutrients that when used together, have a stronger protective effect than any single one alone
things to avoid while you’re still being exposed to mold
Release the feeling of being stuck in your situation without hope. Arm yourself with an action plan.
With the information in this course, and hope restored, Dr. Jill has seen people be able to begin their recovery despite being in the moldy environment.
BUT it takes some savvy. Certain things might make the situation worse.
Learn the well-meaning things that may actually be working against your body as it tries to cope with being exposed to mold.
This course will help you set the stage to break the mold and take back your health once you’re free from mold.
The application process closed on September 13, 2023. Please stay tuned for future opportunities.
