Show notes

Neil Nathan, MD, joins us to explain why mold toxicity may be the cause of many chronic diseases as we age. In fact, Dr. Nathan literally wrote the book on this subject.
When we think of obstacles to aging well, mold toxicity probably isn't at the top of our list. However, Dr. Nathan says there is strong evidence that many of our chronic diseases can be traced to mold toxicity. When traditional medicine is not providing the answers we need, then maybe it’s time to turn to the doctor who goes where others fear to tread. Over more than 50 years of practicing medicine and sharing his expertise in five books, Dr. Nathan provides what may be the keys to unlocking the chronic conditions that plague our bodies ... including Alzheimer's disease. #Portland
