Mold Exposure & Mycotoxin Patterns | Lowcountry Wellness Center

Mold Exposure & Mycotoxin Illness Patterns

Mold exposure and mycotoxins can influence multiple body systems — including cognition, energy, inflammation, airway sensitivity, and detox pathways. At Lowcountry Wellness Center, we focus on understanding these patterns and supporting the body’s natural physiology through a whole-person framework.

All providers at Lowcountry Wellness Center — Allison, APRN; Stella, APRN; and Dr. Georgia, APRN — are fully trained in evaluating and supporting complex illness patterns and practice under the direct supervision of Dr. Penni, APRN.

Common Mold-Related Patterns We Explore

These categories help identify which systems may be affected and guide where support may be most helpful.

Environmental Exposure Patterns

Home, work, or school exposures contributing to respiratory, inflammatory, or neurological symptoms.

Mycotoxin Load

Evaluation of how toxin burden may relate to fatigue, sensitivity, cognition, or inflammation.

Neurological Sensitivity

Brain fog, word-retrieval issues, headaches, sound/light sensitivity, or dizziness.

Respiratory & Airway Patterns

Sinus congestion, post-nasal drip, cough, or breathing discomfort.

Immune & Inflammatory Patterns

Cyclical flares, heightened reactivity, skin symptoms, and whole-body inflammation.

Hormonal & Detox Interference

Disrupted sleep, temperature swings, fatigue, and changes in metabolism or detoxification capacity.

Common Symptom Patterns Reported

Neurological & Cognitive

  • Brain fog or slowed processing
  • Memory difficulty or word retrieval issues
  • Dizziness, head pressure, or sensory sensitivity

Respiratory & Airway

  • Chronic sinus congestion or drainage
  • Cough, throat irritation, or air hunger sensations
  • Exacerbation of asthma-like symptoms

Systemic & Inflammatory

  • Body aches or flu-like sensations
  • Night sweats or temperature dysregulation
  • Chronic fatigue or post-exertional crashes

Hormonal & Detoxification

  • Worsening PMS, sleep disruption, or mood variability
  • Sensitivity to odors, chemicals, or foods
  • Difficulty tolerating supplements or medications

Contributing Influences We Explore

Mold-related illness is often multi-layered. We look at each component to understand the bigger picture.

Environment & Air Quality

Home testing, HVAC issues, building materials, humidity levels, and water damage history.

Mycotoxin Burden

Understanding how toxins may be affecting detoxification, hormones, and neurological function.

Immune Reactivity

How sensitized the immune system is, and what may influence inflammation or reactivity.

Gut & Microbiome

Evaluating digestive function, absorption, and microbial balance that may amplify symptoms.

Nervous System & Stress Load

The body’s regulatory capacity often shifts with chronic exposure.

Overlapping Conditions

Lyme, EBV, MCAS, hormonal shifts, and environmental triggers can all intersect with mold patterns.

Wellness Tools to Support Mold Recovery

Our focus is on supporting detoxification, reducing inflammatory load, and strengthening resilience. Modalities may include:

Detoxification & Drainage Support

  • Liver, lymphatic, and kidney-focused strategies
  • Gentle approaches to support toxin removal
  • Hydration, mineral balance, and binder education (DSHEA-safe descriptions)

Nutritional & Botanical Tools

  • Wellness tools traditionally used to support the body’s natural response to environmental stressors
  • Botanicals supporting inflammation balance, immune resilience, and overall vitality
  • Gut restoration and microbiome-focused approaches for digestive and systemic support

Nervous System & Environmental Regulation

  • Stress regulation practices to calm reactivity
  • Environmental cleanup strategies (humidity, filtration, remediation guidance)
  • Exposure reduction planning

What to Expect During a Mold & Mycotoxin Visit

  • A review of your exposure history, home/work environment, and symptom timeline
  • Discussion of optional specialty testing (mold plates, ERMI/HERTSMI, or mycotoxin labs)
  • A personalized support roadmap focusing on detoxification, stabilization, and resilience
  • Your care may be provided by Allison, APRN; Stella, APRN; or Dr. Georgia, APRN — all of whom practice under the direct supervision of Dr. Penni, APRN, and follow her ILADS-informed framework for complex illness care.
