Hidden Triggers: How Mold and Lyme Create A Sensitive and Reactive Personality
Hidden Triggers: How Mold and Lyme Create A Sensitive and Reactive Personality
Do you have issues with focus, concentration, or even finding the word you want to use? If so, you might be dealing with the hidden effects of mold toxicity and Lyme disease.
In this episode, Dr. Aimie sits down with Dr. Neil Nathan to discuss how mold toxicity and Lyme disease can create a “biology of threat” in the body that can trigger and maintain a state of hypervigilance and reactivity. This is not the only issue mold toxins and Lyme infections can cause. They can create unique inflammatory responses that affect the brain, nervous system, and immune function, often manifesting as unexplained anxiety, depression, cognitive issues, and physical symptoms that are often misdiagnosed as mental health disorders.
Dr. Nathan also introduces “the big three” factors keeping the body stuck in threat mode: limbic activation, vagal dysregulation, and mast cell activation. He’ll share how these become dysregulated when faced with mold toxicity and Lyme disease, causing the body to shut down as a protective mechanism. This explains why you may experience seemingly inexplicable sensitivities and reactions despite doing all the “right” emotional and psychological work for trauma recovery.
Join them as they break down the science behind the body’s trauma response to mold toxicity and Lyme disease, if it’s possible to reverse it, and actionable steps you can take to start the healing journey.
