81 | Can Mold Wreck Your Hormones? Cortisol, Thyroid, Sex Hormones and How to Heal with Sara Moreira

Description

If your hormones have been a disaster since mold, you are not imagining it and you are not just getting older. There is actually a hormone hierarchy most of us have never been taught, and mold exposure sits right at the root of why everything feels so off.


I brought Sara Moreira onto the show because her approach to hormonal dysfunction is one of the most practical and eye-opening conversations I have had on this topic. Sara is a registered nurse, FDNP, and mom of four who helps women get to the root cause of fatigue, weight loss resistance, gut issues, and hormonal chaos using a test, don't guess approach. What she shared completely reframed the way I think about mold recovery and where to actually start rebuilding.


Key Takeaways:

  • Cortisol sits at the very top of the hormone hierarchy — until it is addressed, your thyroid and sex hormones cannot function properly no matter what else you do
  • Standard lab work misses blood sugar dysfunction constantly because it only captures one snapshot, not the full picture of your highs and lows throughout the day
  • Mineral depletion is one of the most overlooked drivers of hormonal chaos, fatigue, and weight gain — and mold exposure accelerates it
  • Fixing your circadian rhythm by getting outside in natural light is one of the most powerful and underrated first steps in mold recovery
  • Restricting food and pushing harder at the gym is often the worst thing a mold-sick body can do — rebuilding starts with less, not more

To Healing,

Aubree
