***TOP 1.5% GLOBALLY RANKED PODCAST***
Have you been sick for months or even years with no real diagnosis?
Have doctors told you it's stress, anxiety, or "all in your head"—but you know deep down something is really wrong?
Have you spent thousands on tests, supplements, and specialists, done "all the right things" and yet still feel terrible?
Have you wondered if mold could be behind it all—but figuring out where to even start feels completely overwhelming?
🩷 I'm Aubree Felderhoff. I asked myself these same questions for twelve years. I saw over 30 doctors. I spent more than $250,000 searching for answers. I finally discovered mold was behind everything—and thought the nightmare was about to end.
I followed the protocols the "experts" recommended. I did everything right. And I got even sicker.
It took years of wrong turns, wasted money, and dead-end treatments before I found what actually works. Not symptom management. Not lifelong protocols. Real healing with an end date.
Now I help families skip the nightmare my family lived through.
This podcast is the roadmap I wish someone had handed me when I was desperate, dismissed, and losing hope. I'll teach you how to figure out if mold is actually your problem, which tests are worth your money, how to find and fix mold without getting scammed, and how to heal—for real—so you can move on with your life.
No fluff. No gatekeeping. No forever protocols.
You're not crazy. You're not alone. And this doesn't have to be your life forever.

85 | The 10 Science-Backed Supplements That Actually Helped Me Detox and Heal From Mold Illness
Jul 700:19:45Tap to summarizeAt one point in my mold recovery I was taking close to a hundred supplements a day. I felt like a prisoner in my own home, packing a literal suitcase of pills every time we left town. Here's the thing nobody told me: more was not better.If you've been sick for a while, your medicine cabinet probably tells the same story mine did. In this episode I'm walking you through the supplements that actually move the needle in mold recovery, and the why behind every single one. Mold is not a one system problem. It's deeply inflammatory, it burns through the nutrients your body is desperate for, and it hits your brain, your gut, your immune system, and your nervous system all at once. When you finally understand what you're taking and why it matters, staying consistent gets so much easier, and consistency is what actually gets you results.Key Takeaways:Why taking more supplements can quietly keep you stuck, and the shift that changes everythingThe simple "buckets" that finally match your supplements to every system mold is attackingThe one brain supplement with real clinical evidence behind the fog, the word recall, and the moodHow the cell danger response can lock your cells so almost nothing you swallow gets inWhy melatonin does far more than help you sleep when mycotoxins are in the pictureThe gut piece most people skip, and why detoxing without it just runs you in circlesQuestions this episode answers:What supplements actually help with mold recovery?The ones matched to every system mold attacks: magnesium, vitamin C, vitamin D, a potent B complex, phosphatidylserine, fish oil, curcumin, melatonin, a spore-based probiotic, and TUDCA, each at a studied dose.Why aren't my supplements working?Often it's cheap or synthetic forms your body can't absorb, the wrong dose, or a cell danger response that locks your cells so almost nothing gets in.Is taking more supplements better for mold illness?No. More is not better. A few targeted, well dosed supplements do far more than a cabinet full of random pills.Can melatonin help with mold toxicity?Yes. Beyond sleep, melatonin is a potent antioxidant that helps shield your cells from mycotoxin damage and supports your brain's nightly detox.Rooting for you,AubreeLinks and Resources:Learn more at Mold Free MomTake the Free Mold Symptom AssessmentBook a Free Discovery CallMold Healing Supplements
Transcribe →84 | Labs Normal but Still Sick? Why Your Doctor's Standard Labs Miss Mold Toxicity with Kyle Peche
Jun 2300:42:49Tap to summarizeIf you've ever thrown everything at your healing, binders, antifungals, parasite cleanses, the whole arsenal, and somehow ended up sicker than when you started, this episode is for you.I sat down with Kyle Peche, and his story stopped me in my tracks because it sounded so much like mine. Kyle was the picture of health at 18, an athlete headed for medical school, and then his body collapsed into brain fog, panic attacks, food intolerances, and digestive issues so severe he could barely function. He spent years and six figures chasing answers through conventional medicine, functional medicine, and every diet you can name, and the aggressive killing and cleansing protocols he reached for first were the very things that set him back the most. What finally turned everything around was learning to heal in the right order, starting with mineral balancing and rebuilding his body from the ground up before he touched anything aggressive.We get into why jumping straight into detox backfires for so many of us, what it actually means to prep your terrain before you kill anything, how hair tissue mineral analysis reveals what blood work keeps missing, why your liver is almost always the bottleneck in mold recovery, the WiFi connection that could have your mold producing hundreds of times more mycotoxins, and the exact order Kyle uses to take someone from barely tolerating a binder to actually getting their life back.Key Takeaways:Why "gradually and then all at once" is the pattern almost every mold story quietly followsThe detox mistake that sends type A healers backwards faster than anything elseWhy your body might be too depleted to survive the very protocol you're about to startWhat "prep your terrain" actually means, and why skipping it is keeping you stuckThe fire and the gas leak analogy that finally explains why your body reacts to everythingWhy mineral balancing is not just supplementing whatever shows up low on a testWhat high calcium and magnesium on a hair test might really be telling you, because it's not what most people thinkThe reason your blood work keeps coming back "normal" while you feel anything butThe nightly WiFi habit that could be driving your mold to release hundreds of times more mycotoxinsWhy your liver is quietly running the entire show in mold recoveryThe hidden retroviral piece that cracks the cases where nothing else has workedWhy chasing parasites, mold, and Lyme in the wrong order keeps you trapped in the whack a mole loopYou don't need to detox harder, you need to detox in the right orderTo Healing,AubreeLinks and Resources:Learn more at Mold Free MomTake the Free Mold Symptom AssessmentBook a Free Discovery CallMold Healing Supplements──────────────────────────────Connect with Kyle Peche:Website: jyotimb.comInstagram: @kyle_peche

Jun 1600:32:25Tap to summarizeIf you've seen all the doctors, run all the tests, swallowed all the supplements, and you're still sick and quietly starting to wonder if healing just isn't in the cards for you, this episode is for you.Today's episode is a different one, and it's been sitting on my heart for a while. After weeks of talking with clients at every stage of their mold journey, I kept hearing the same thing over and over: exhausted, burned out, running low on hope. I've been there too. I spent over a decade lost in chronic illness and mystery symptoms before I found out mold toxicity was the real problem, and I've now recovered not once but twice. So this one is for the person at rock bottom who needs a path forward when it feels like there's nothing left to give.I'm walking you through five things you can do right now, today, that will actually move the needle when you've done everything and nothing is working.Key Takeaways:The single sentence my pastor said to me that changed the way I saw healing foreverWhy praying harder was never the thing that would move the needle, and what actually didThe quiet mindset trap that keeps chronically ill people stuck, even when they're doing everything rightWhat happened the morning after I finally stopped fighting and surrendered, that I still call a miracleThe stranger who walked into my husband's work and unknowingly handed me the answer I'd chased for nearly ten yearsHow I had one of my favorite vacations ever while I was the sickest I have ever beenThe support group mistake almost every sick person makes without realizing they're doing itWhy the people you're taking health advice from could be the very reason you're still not betterThe reframe that lets you build a beautiful life before you are ever fully healedIt only takes one moment for your body to go from staying sick to starting to heal, so hold on to hope for that moment.To Healing,AubreeLinks and Resources:Learn more at Mold Free MomTake the Free Mold Symptom AssessmentBook a Free Discovery CallMold Healing Supplements
Transcribe →82 | How to Build a Mold-Free Home: What Families Get Wrong with Attorney Cristina Greenfield
Jun 900:39:20Tap to summarizeIf you've ever hired the right people, asked the right questions, and still ended up with mold coming back (me 🙋♀️) — this episode is for you.I sat down with Cristina Greenfield, founder of Conscious Healthy Home, and I walked away wishing I had known her when my family was in the thick of it. Cristina spent over 15 years as a commercial attorney before mold turned her world upside down and sent her in a direction she never saw coming. What she built on the other side of that experience is something this industry desperately needs — a bridge between what we know as homeowners and what the professionals know, because that gap is real and it is costing families their health.We talk about what actually happens when you find mold, why removing it isn't enough if you haven't found the source, what to look for in a remediation contract, how to build the right team whether you're remediating, buying, or building from scratch, and why chasing perfection is keeping so many families stuck.Key Takeaways:Why visible mold is the beginning of the investigation, not the endThe red flags hiding in remediation contracts most families will never catchWhat "finding the source" actually means and why most inspectors aren't doing itWhy mold keeps coming back even after a full remediationWhy building science is not part of a mold inspector's training and what that means for your homeHow your HVAC system could be the hidden source of your mold problemWhy homeowners and industry professionals are operating in silos and how that is failing sick familiesWhat you need to know before you sign a contract with a builder if you want a healthy homeWhat to look for in a real estate agent if finding a healthy home is your priorityWhy bringing your full team together from the very beginning of a new build changes everythingHow Cristina's background as a commercial attorney shapes the way she advocates for mold familiesYou don't need a perfect home to heal — you need the right informationTo Healing,AubreeLinks and Resources:Learn more at Mold Free MomTake the Free Mold Symptom AssessmentBook a Free Discovery CallMold Healing SupplementsConnect with Cristina GreenfieldConscious Healthy HomeInstagram
Transcribe →81 | Can Mold Wreck Your Hormones? Cortisol, Thyroid, Sex Hormones and How to Heal with Sara Moreira
May 2600:29:03Tap to summarizeIf 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 doStandard lab work misses blood sugar dysfunction constantly because it only captures one snapshot, not the full picture of your highs and lows throughout the dayMineral depletion is one of the most overlooked drivers of hormonal chaos, fatigue, and weight gain — and mold exposure accelerates itFixing your circadian rhythm by getting outside in natural light is one of the most powerful and underrated first steps in mold recoveryRestricting food and pushing harder at the gym is often the worst thing a mold-sick body can do — rebuilding starts with less, not moreTo Healing,AubreeLinks and Resources:Learn more at Mold Free MomTake the Free Mold Symptom AssessmentBook a Free Discovery CallMold Healing SupplementsConnect with Sara MoreiraHormone Health For Moms PodcastWebsiteInstagram

May 1200:33:34Tap to summarizeThis one is going to hit different if you've ever done everything "right" and still couldn't get well.I sat down with Danielle Tarjoman, a functional health practitioner and founder of Mold Mend, and we got into the stuff that most practitioners are completely missing.Danielle's story sounds a lot like mine — holistic, crunchy, chasing every possible answer — until mold colonization turned out to be the thing nobody had looked for. She was trained directly under Dr. Andrew Campbell, one of the foremost experts in mycotoxin illness, and what she shares in this episode is the kind of clarity that took me over a decade to find.If you've tested negative, done the gut protocols, cleaned up your diet, and you're still not breaking through — this episode is for you.Key Takeaways:Why urine mycotoxin tests regularly produce false negatives even when your body is loaded with mycotoxins internallyHow mold colonizes your sinuses, lungs, and gut — and why you can have zero symptoms in those areas and still be colonizedWhy being "crunchy" and holistic is not enough to clear mold colonization — and what actually isThe three reasons people can't get better: environment, nervous system, and sinus colonizationHow your olfactory bulb creates a direct pathway from your sinuses straight to your brain for mycotoxinsWhat a realistic treatment timeline looks like and why skipping steps turns a 6-month recovery into 18-24 monthsWhy your toxic bucket doesn't refill the same way after treatment — and how maintenance keeps it that wayTo Healing,AubreeLinks and Resources:Learn more at Mold Free MomTake the Free Mold Symptom AssessmentBook a Free Discovery CallMold Healing SupplementsConnect with Danielle Tarjoman:MoldMendInstagram
Transcribe →79 | Nervous System Stuck in Survival Mode? How Limbic System Training Helps Heal Chronic Illness
Apr 2800:29:51Tap to summarizeIf your body is not healing no matter what you try, your nervous system might be the reason why. Mold illness, chronic fatigue, mystery symptoms, and unexplained chronic illness all have one thing in common that most protocols completely miss. Your brain could be stuck in a survival loop, and until you address that, no amount of supplements, binders, or detox protocols will get you well.In this episode of Mold Free Mom I am breaking down the science of neuroplasticity and brain retraining for chronic illness. This is not woo woo. This is biology. Your brain has the ability to form new neural connections, prune old ones, and physically rewire itself from a state of fight or flight into a state of rest and digest where real healing actually happens. I share the exact programs that helped me heal, the foundational concepts behind neuroplasticity training, and 3 practical steps you can start using today for free with zero side effects.Key Takeaways:Your brain is a pattern recognition organ and those patterns can be rewired at any ageFight or flight and healing cannot happen at the same time in the bodyHypervigilance, rumination, sensitivity to light and sound, insomnia, and exercise intolerance are all signs your nervous system is dysregulatedWhy mold illness and chronic illness survivors are the perfect candidates for neuroplasticity and brain retrainingThe DOSE method, dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin and endorphins, and how to use it to interrupt a symptom spiral in minutesNeurons that fire together wire together and how to use that to your advantage in healingThe two brain retraining programs I personally used to heal from mold toxicity when nothing else workedWhy your brain does not know the difference between a real and an imagined memory and how to use that to calm your nervous system todayTo Healing,AubreeLinks and Resources:Limbic System Program mentioned: Primal TrustBrain retraining mentioned: DNRSLearn more at Mold Free MomTake the Free Mold Symptom AssessmentBook a Free Discovery CallMold Healing Supplements
Transcribe →78 | Chronic Illness, Mold & Faith: Trusting God When Healing Feels Impossible with Heather O'Brien
Apr 1400:28:30Tap to summarizeWhen your body is deep in mold illness, the physical symptoms are only part of what you're fighting. The shame, the isolation, the feeling that God has completely gone silent while your health is falling apart and your family is watching, that is its own battle. And most people dealing with mold toxicity and chronic illness never talk about it.In this episode I sat down with Heather O'Brien, prophetic healing coach and host of the Heal With God podcast, to talk about something I don't address enough here at Mold Free Mom: the emotional and spiritual weight that comes with mold exposure and unexplained symptoms. If you have ever felt forgotten by God in the middle of your healing journey, this one is for you.Key Takeaways:Who you're talking to about your health could be the reason you're not healingWhy shame can be just as detrimental to your health as mold exposure itselfThe four things that open the door to hearing God's voice when chronic illness has you convinced he's gone silentWhat finally shifted for me spiritually in the middle of my worst mold exposureWhy hopelessness during mold illness is not your reality, it's the enemy's strategyTo Healing,AubreeLinks and Resources:Learn more at Mold Free MomTake the Free Mold Symptom AssessmentBook a Free Discovery CallMold Healing SupplementsConnect with Heather O'Brien:heatherobryant.netHeal With God PodcastFree Monthly Prophetic Healing Workshop

Mar 3100:16:56Tap to summarizeA doctor once told me to remove gluten and I literally laughed at her. Then I watched my thyroid antibodies drop from over a thousand to 36 in just a few months. I never questioned food again.Diet was one of the most powerful tools I had during my 12 years of mold illness, and in this episode I'm breaking down exactly how to use food as medicine when you're dealing with mold toxicity or chronic illness. Mycotoxins from mold exposure can prevent the gut from healing no matter how clean your diet is, which is why so many people do everything right and still don't get better. From lowering inflammation to understanding the histamine connection, what you eat can either work for your healing or silently work against it.This isn't about perfection. It's about giving your body a fighting chance.Key Takeaways:The two foods that may be silently driving your inflammation and keeping you stuckWhy gut healing protocols can actually backfire if you're still in a moldy environmentThe surprising "healthy" foods that could be making mold symptoms worseWhy you don't have to overhaul everything at once to start feeling betterTo Healing,AubreeLinks and Resources:Learn more at Mold Free MomTake the Free Mold Symptom AssessmentBook a Free Discovery CallMold Healing Supplements

Mar 1700:30:30Tap to summarizeWhen a family moves into a beautiful rental home and everyone starts falling apart except the one person who's barely ever there, something is seriously wrong. Lindsay Reeves watched her children deteriorate, her adopted son get sick, and herself become a shell of who she was, all while dozens of doctors never once mentioned the word mold.I sat down with Lindsay, the co-founder of Safe Mold Inspections of NWA and owner of Hope the Mold Dog, to talk about how her family's severe mold exposure led her from victim to advocate. After being forced to abandon their home and nearly everything in it, Lindsay and her husband Blake built an investigative mold inspection business that pairs detailed building science expertise with the nose of a trained mold-detection dog. What Hope can find in the walls of a home that no air sample or visual inspection would ever catch is honestly incredible, and every family dealing with unexplained chronic illness needs to hear this.Key Takeaways:The reason everyone in your family can be sick from the same home and have completely different symptomsWhat actually happens inside a home inspection when a mold dog is involved and why it's not what you'd expectThe one thing Hope can smell that has absolutely nothing to do with visible mold growthWhy a one-hour air sample inspection may be the biggest waste of money in your healing journeyThe two mistakes families make after getting a mold report that keep them stuck and sickHow to know whether you need a mold dog, a different inspector, or bothTo Healing,AubreeLinks and Resources:Learn more at Mold Free MomTake the Free Mold Symptom AssessmentBook a Free Discovery CallMold Healing SupplementsLindsay's Resources:Email: hopethemolddog@gmail.comWebsite
