In today's episode, Haylie Pomroy is joined by Dr. Andrew Campbell, a specialist in complex chronic illness, toxic exposures, and immune dysfunction. Together, they examine the clinical science behind mycotoxin illness — how mold-derived toxins enter the body, why they are frequently missed or misdiagnosed, and how they may be driving some of the most prevalent and poorly understood chronic conditions of our time.

Dr. Campbell explains how mycotoxins link to neurological diseases and chronic conditions, clarifies urine vs. serum testing and IgG vs. IgE, and outlines a validated diagnosis and treatment approach through My Myco Lab.

He also addresses environmental sources of mycotoxin exposure, the first rule of toxicology in clinical practice, and why accurate testing is the foundation of any meaningful recovery pathway.
