All right, this episode is going to be a hard one for me to get through. If you've been following me on Instagram, you know that it has been a really rough couple of months. Probably the worst time of my life, honestly. I was unable to share a lot about my mom because my mom is very private and did not want people to know what she was battling and going through. I'm going to share what I feel like she would be okay with me sharing. I also asked my dad for permission to share her story. We found mold in our bathroom January 6th. The mold situation has escalated very quickly into a place that my husband and I never thought it would get to. A lawsuit is probably coming. Oh, all right. This episode is going to be a hard one for me to get through. Wanted to update y' all on everything that's been happening in my life the last couple of months. If you've been following me on Instagram, you know that it has been a really rough couple of months. Probably the worst time of my life, honestly. And that says a lot because I also have lost my little sister, tragically. I also lost my brother at 21, and this has probably been the hardest couple months of my life. Also, I realized that I have not done a proper intro. Hello, friends. Welcome back to another episode of the Real Foodology podcast. Today you're getting me solo. We're Han soloing this, and I wanted to give you a little update on my life. I did not share a lot. I've shared bits and pieces the last couple of months about everything going on for a multitude of reasons. One, the mold situation has escalated very quickly and to a place that my husband and I never thought it would get to, meaning that lawyers are involved. A lawsuit is probably. Probably coming, and we tried so hard to avoid a lawsuit, and we were forced basically into one, which I can share a little bit of details about that, but I can only share so much right now, and I was unable to share a lot about my mom because my mom is very private and did not want people to know what she was battling and going through. And I really wanted to respect her wishes. So, um, I'm going to share what I feel like she would be okay with me sharing. I also asked my dad for permission to share her story, and my dad said, share whatever you want. So my mom was diagnosed with a sarcoma on her liver 11 years ago, and at the time, my parents actually did not tell me this. In fact, I only learned this maybe a year and a half ago that when she got that first diagnosis, they had told her that she maybe had three to five years. And they shielded me very much from a lot of that. In fact, I would say the last nine years or so, I lived in a different world than my parents did in the sense that I didn't really realize how bad it was, and they wouldn't share everything with me. My mom was very protective of my mental peace and my anxiety, and just based off of everything that we had been through with losing my little sister and my little brother, loss is very near and dear to my heart, and it's something that I've struggled with most of my life. And so I was very on one end, I was grateful that my mom shielded me from that. But it also. It did. It did kind of make me upset, too, when I finally started to learn how serious it was, because I had spent a lot of her battle thinking, oh, wow, she's just doing really good. And this just must be one of those forms of cancer that isn't that aggressive, because, you know, I mean, I think everybody has been touched by cancer at this point with family members, and some have gotten really lucky where they got, you know, a stage one diagnosis. They took care of it, they got rid of it, and it never came back. And I figured, at least in the beginning, I. I thought that's what this was. That's what was happening. Every conversation I would have with my mom. Mom, how's it going? What's the diagnosis? Your scans looking like everything's great, Courtney, I feel great. Everything's looking good. Anyway, so she had gotten that diagnosis and ended up doing chemo chemotherapy. Another thing that was really interesting about my mom is the chemo never slowed her down or affected her at all. She didn't lose her hair. She really didn't have fatigue. She didn't lose her energy. She was still hiking with me. Um, she was still. Still doing all of her normal stuff. In fact, she was acting completely normal and like nothing was happening at all, which I think is such a testament to my mom's faith, because my mom really decided to put her full trust in God. And she thought, she felt that God was going to heal her and protect her. And, you know, in many ways, I think he did, because when I found out that she had a, you know, three to five year lifespan left and was able to push all the way through 11 years, I think a lot of that was probably due to her faith and her. What is the word that I'm looking for? Pregnancy. Brain is really a thing, y'. All. Her determination and her will to live. So she did the chemo. We, we got great scans back after it was gone. Then a couple years later it came back. When I think about brain health, I think about preventing decline, mental sharpness, my memory, being able to show up for my job and really give it my all. But it's really much bigger than that. It's your focus, your mood, your resilience, your clarity under pressure. And your brain doesn't operate in isolation. It reflects what's happening across your entire body. So. So if you're not measuring these systems, you're guessing. That's one of the reasons why I love function health.

Again that's paleovalley.com real foodiology at that point she did keytruda, we did some immunotherapy which is keytruda and I think she also did another round of chemo. At this point I was really begging her to do more natural therapies. And what was really interesting about this whole journey with My mom was that I am the reason that I like. She is the reason that I am the way that I am. She's the reason I'm into natural therapies, that I do more homeopathic stuff, that I try the natural stuff before going down the medical route. And she's also the reason that I am the way that I am where I. I try all the natural therapies and then if those don't work, I do. We do the medical, the general medical system, the conventional medical system route. But we usually try to do everything natural first. And she was for some reason kind of resistant to doing a lot of the natural stuff when we were doing the cancer therapies. And it's. I don't even know if it was resistant. I think maybe she was really burnt out and exhausted from doing so much. And the second round, the chemo and the Kruda really did a number on her immune system. But again, she didn't lose her hair. She was still hiking with me. I noticed that she was slowing down a little bit, but she was still doing pretty good. It wasn't until the end, and this was a couple years ago, that the keytruda had. It started to have a really horrendous effect on her, on her lungs. And we ended up having to get her on pretty strong steroids. And this was a really scary time. I'd never shared any of this. The steroids actually almost killed her. They gave her such a high amount that when she was coming back down from them for about two weeks there, I would call her and her voice would sound like this because her whole body had had this insane reaction to the steroids and they quite literally almost killed her. Then what happened was there was another infection in her lungs that we needed to get rid of. And she was so scared to take steroids that there was this other drug that they wanted her to take that myself and my dad and her friends all begged her not to take because there was some pretty serious side effects. And one thing about my mom that's really interesting that my dad and I would always joke about was that if there's like a 1% chance that some drug is going to have this effect on somebody, my mom is going to be that person that's going to have that effect. I don't know why my mom, her whole life was so sensitive to medical interventions. So sensitive. Like anytime that there was any sort of side effect for a drug listed, there was like super rare complications where the doctor would be like, I mean, this can Happen, but it's like so rare. It would always happen to my mom, which was just heartbreaking. And so she had taken this drug in place of doing steroids, and there was a very small percentage chance that percentage chance that you could develop. I can't remember the name of it, but it was an autoimmune disorder from it. And of course she developed the autoimmune disorder from that. So then just these last couple years were particularly really hard because we found ourselves in a situation that I, I mean, it's just my nightmare and what I always preach about and really try my hardest to stay away from. Because once you get into the medical system, there's just this cascade of side effects that you are chasing. And you're doing this drug to counteract the side effect of that drug, and then that drug you're doing another, you know, then you have a side effect to that. So then you have another drug in the mix to counteract that side effect. And we just found ourselves in this cascade of chasing all these symptoms and trying to manage everything with other drugs. And it was, it was so hard. It was so hard to watch, especially for my mom, as someone who has been so healthy her whole life. My mom cooked everything from scratch. My mom bought everything organic. She had a co op that she. A farm that she ordered from every single week in San Antonio and then also one in Telluride. Um, she was very mindful of where her food came from, her nutrition was making everything from scratch. I mean, truly is like the healthiest person that I know. Avoided the medical system as much as possible because she didn't want to end up in this cascade of interventions. And then we found ourselves in it anyways, which was really incredibly heartbreaking. And once you, the problem is once you get thrown into that, it's very hard to get out of because like I said, it's just, you know, you're on another drug to keep counteract the last drug. And, you know, and we had gotten her in with some really amazing integrative and functional doctors, but just no one could really fully help her because her medical issues had become pretty serious at this point and they required pretty serious interventions. Now, all of this being said, my dad and I will both explain the scenario and the situation in a way that we really don't feel like her, her quality of life was affected that greatly until the last like six to eight months. Like, yes, there were, there were little points where it was really hard, like with the steroids. But once we were through that, then she was okay. And something that was really, really remarkable about my mom and incredible is that she never let this kill her spirit. I mean, even down to the, I think about the last days, She never complained. Ever. I never heard her complain. She never, you know, had this woe is me mentality. She never had this why me? She just maintained this really strong conviction and that God had her best interest at heart and that he was healing her. And now obviously, she may have had a different depiction of what healing looked like for her than what ultimately was, which I think was just that it was her time to go back and be with God. But she was so strong and she maintained her faith all these years. The hardest thing for us was in the last couple of months. Like I mentioned, the last six to eight months were when I really started to get scared. I've been thinking a lot about how aging really shows up, not just in birthdays, but in energy recovery and how fast your body bounces back. That's why I got so excited about Qualia Senolytic, one of the most fascinating breakthroughs I've seen in the science of aging.

Qualia Senolytic is a clinically tested formula with nine vegan plant derived compounds designed to help your body naturally eliminate those zombie cells. And the best part?

If there's any doctors or practitioners or just health experts listening that can explain this to me, I would love it so much if you could please DM me. We had the weirdest thing happen and nobody's ever been able to explain it to me, including her doctors. Like really explain to me what happened. If you know what a ho cat is, it is a essentially a, a like a sauna pod that you get into a machine where your head is out and it heats up the whole body and puts ozone into. So basically it opens your pores with heat and then there's this ozone that gets sprayed throughout the whole pod and it gets absorbed into the body. And we were using this for her for detoxification pathways because towards the end she became a lot more open to using other alternative healing modalities. Oh, because I skipped something really big. I know I've kind of been going on tangents, so I hope y' all are following me here. But after the steroids and the medication and she developed the autoimmune disorder and all of that, she got clear scans for her cancer. And then it came back for the third time. And when it came back for the third time, after seeing her unable to do the keytruda anymore, the chemo had completely wrecked her immune system. Her white blood cells were really low. Her T cells were really low. She was no longer a candidate for things like chemo. Radiation wasn't an option. They couldn't perform surgery because of where the tumor was. They were too scared to touch it. And then there ended up being multiple tumors towards the end that were growing. So her doctors, her conventional doctors said, I'm sorry, we have nothing left for you. And so at that point, my mom and my dad were calling me saying, okay, what do we do in the the natural alternative world? And I'll admit I was a Little angry and bitter about it, because I had been begging them to try these alternative therapies for the last 11 years. And it wasn't until last resort that they said, okay, now what do we do? And, I mean, they're my parents. I love them. I would do absolutely anything for them. So of course I was like, okay, got to work. I was like, let's get you this doctor. Let's send you to this center. She was working with a root causes integrative doctor in San Antonio. And back to the hocat. So one of the modalities that we were trying to use was ozone. So she was doing ozone, we were trying to do high dose vitamin C drips, we were doing mistletoe, we were doing hyperbaric chamber. But what was so strange is that she was having these horrible side effects from everything. And I think part of it was she started getting this edema really bad in her ankles. And now, from what I understand, was that the tumors were blocking, probably blocking her kidneys, and they were blocking her body's ability to recirculate fluids and get them out. And so she started getting this really bad edema the last about six months or so. And my mom is six feet, very thin like myself, built exactly like me, and she just completely blew up like a tick with edema and water retention. And I'm so sorry, mom, if you didn't want me to share that, because I know it was really hard on her. And when we did the hoecat, the ozone sonopod that I was talking about earlier, and this is where I was asking doctors if they had any sort of reasoning as to why this would have happened. She was in the the hocat. Everything was fine. She went home, and hours later, she had these insane open wounds on both of her legs. I. Y', all, I've never seen anything like it in my life. My parents had told me about it over the phone. I was living in Colorado at this point, so I had not visually seen them yet. When I went home and I saw them, I had to go to the other room and cry because I didn't want to cry in front of her. It was awful. And she was really struggling with these wounds for the last couple months because we could never fully get them to heal. It looked like she had been in a horrific fire and was significantly burned on both of her legs. And it was after the ozone. And no one could ever explain to me what exactly happened because it. I kept asking her, I was like, did you get burned in there? Like, did Was. Was there a heating component on you that, like, burned the skin? And she was like, no. She was like, I didn't feel anything, and I felt fine. And it wasn't until hours later and someone explained to me that we were ramping up her detox too quickly and that it all just got, like, forced out of the body very rapidly. And since her kidneys and her drainage system wasn't working properly, it just was, like, forced out through the skin. And so the last couple months, my dad and I were having to clean her womb wounds. We were wrapping them every day. They were dripping everywhere, all over the house. So, you know, we had to constantly be wrapping them and putting antibiotics and stuff on them so that they didn't develop, you know, further infections. There was. I was concerned at some point we were gonna have to amputate because we just could not get them to heal. Oh, y'. All. It was just awful. All this was just awful. Ultimately, what ended up taking her life was the tumor. She had one tumor that was growing really rapidly in her abdomen, and it just. We could not. No matter what we threw at it, could not get it to go down. We tried some therapies at a center in Mexico called Center that has really great outcomes for a lot of patients. Didn't work for my mom, but a lot of people have amazing stories from Santa in Mexico. We went and did their therapies. We tried so many different modalities, and ultimately we just could not get rid of the tumor. And it just kept growing. And at some point, I think she was having a harder and harder time breathing because it was compressing into all of her organs. And she passed away on February 20th at like, midnight in her sleep. She just could not get enough oxygen. My dad thinks that she might have had a stroke hours before because she said, whoa, this feels so weird. And then she couldn't talk. And then after that, she just was completely non coherent and was on oxygen for about a day, and then passed away. I just stopped breathing. So that happened in February, and it missed her so much.

I lost my sister, I lost my brother. And there's no comparing any of them. They all hurt in different ways. They're all devastating. I was thinking about this this morning on my walk though. Who do you call when you want to call your mom and you can't call your mom, you know, like just this is different for my siblings because I'm pregnant. I want to call my mom for advice. I want to call her for comfort. She was the one that I would call when I was in crisis. She'd always pray for me. She always had words of wisdom for me. She always had words of comfort for me. She's also the one that I want to go to about baby stuff. And who do you call when you can't call your mom? Oh, so it's been really rough and I wanted to share her story because I just don't want her to be forgotten. And I was getting a lot of questions from people asking me what happened because I had not shared any of this publicly. Like I said, I really wanted to respect her wishes. And after the fact, you know, my dad said, you know, share it. I think your mom would be okay with that. She just really, she didn't. She wanted to be very private about it while she was battling it because she didn't want people blowing her up every day because she really wanted to have some semblance of a normal life. She didn't want to feel like she was constantly in crisis and have people checking in on her all the time reminding her of her situation. She really wanted to live her life to the fullest and I really, really respect that. So it's why I've been really quiet online and not sharing a lot about her and what was happening in while it was happening. So that's the update on that. And then I'm going to give you a little bit of an update on the mold situation. So for those of you that don't know everything, we found mold in our shower in our bathroom January 6th through an air sample. And the reason we had decided to test that is because I was having symptoms. I saw some little dots on the ceiling of the shower that we thought could be potentially mold. And then we realized that whenever I was leaving the house for long, significant periods of time, my symptoms were completely going away. So. So we started to connect the dots that I was having the symptoms specifically in the house. We also found some towels, towels in our, our bathroom and our kitchen that were hanging, not crumpled in the corner in the dark hanging, as you naturally do with towels that were growing mold spores. And so my husband got a mold team in there to do an air sample. They found very high levels of Stachy boturis, which is one of the most toxic forms of black mold that exists. It was in very high amounts. And the fact that it showed up in air samples was incredibly concerning because apparently this particular form of mold is a lot harder to find in air samples, which tells us that it was a really big problem if it's showing up in air samples. And so we immediately evacuated the house. In fact, we got that information at like 5:30pm or something, and we were out of the house by seven. Just grabbed all of our stuff, our dogs, and left. Because the way that it was communicated to us was that it's incredibly toxic. You don't want to spend any more time in there, especially being pregnant. So my husband was very freaked out and wanted to get me out immediately. We tried really, really hard to avoid any sort of legal intervention. I was going through it with my mom. So if you can Imagine, this was January 6th. My mom died February 20th. Her health was rapidly declining. I was going down to see her every chance and opportunity I got. I was trying to help my dad as much as possible. We did not want to end up in any sort of fight or lawsuit. In fact, I laugh about this now because I just feel so stupid about the way that these people have treated us since. I really feel like our kindness was taken advantage of. But when we first found the mold, my husband and I felt so bad telling them because we knew that this was gonna be a big deal. When you find mold in your house, it's often incredibly expensive. You have to remediate, you have to rip out walls depending on how bad it is. We felt so empathetic towards their situation. My husband's been a landlord before, and he was like, oh, God. He's like, this is so devastating to be a landlord and get this news. So we send them a very kind email and spent the first couple of weeks just really trying to just reason with them and just simply get out of our lease. We were like, look, we're not. We weren't looking for money compensation because, I mean, at this point, we had paid January rent. We were out by January 6th, and we were like, you know what? Like, they're going to get hit so hard. We'll just take January rent as a hit because we don't want to turn this into a fight. Also, we felt really empathetic towards their situation. So we're like, just let us out of our lease. We'll move all of our stuff out of the house and just let us have our security deposit back. It's all we. It's all we ever wanted, y'. All. It's all we ever wanted. We did not want to end up in some legal battle. We didn't want to be turning this into a fight. I was grieving the potential loss of my mom. I wanted to be there for my mom. I didn't want to be dealing with lawsuits and courts and. And we just. We. We wanted to move on with our lives. They refused. In fact, to this day, they are still claiming that they don't think that we had a viable reason to get out of our lease. And even though I'll show you photos of what the black mold looked like. So what ended up happening ultimately is that after that air sample, they got two air samples done, and their sample, their. Their test back said, it seems like there is a greater issue happening, but you're going to have to find it. So you're probably going to have to search behind the walls. But they didn't find anything in the air samples, which is pretty standard, especially when you can see. Consider that a lot of the mold was in the shower, and my husband and I were showering every day. So it was. It was getting that whole area wet. Right? And by the time they started doing their mold tests and their air samples, it was, you know, three weeks, a month later. And so none of that area had been wet for, like a month. So it wasn't kicking up all of that to. In order to show up in the air. But it doesn't mean that it's not still growing in the walls. So we ultimately had to get a company in there that actually got A camera in the H Vac and in the walls and actually found it behind the shower and growing in the H Vac. And while this was all going on, we had to wait for the landlord to do their testing. And, you know, we're going back and forth with lawyers and this and that. They. It took so long that we ended up having to pay February rent, because if we had not paid February rent, our landlords, shockingly, according to the laws of the state that we live in, they could have filed an eviction notice on us, which is crazy. Even though we had found mold in the house and it was. It was deemed unlivable. But we were finally able. After we found the visible signs of the mold in the home and it being in the H Vac, we were finally able to say, okay, now we have a real legal reason to get out of this, and y' all can't evict us for this anymore. But what's crazy is they actually came back and they said a couple weeks ago that they don't. They still don't think that we had a reason to get out of the lease, which is just. I don't. I don't understand why this has turned into such a fight on their end. And at this point, it's cost us so much money that now we are ending up potentially in a lawsuit. We have lawyers involved. We'll see what ends up happening. Hopefully we can. I don't know. We're gonna have to figure that out. Maybe there will be some sort of settlement. But now that we had to pay double rent, we still haven't gotten our security deposit back. We had to pay for alternative housing. We've had to pay for lawyers fees. We had to pay moving costs. We had to pay for mold tests. We had to throw out our beds, our mattresses, our couches, our rugs, our bedding, comforters, pillows. Anything porous that was in that house, we had to throw away, and we have to replace all of that. So we are looking at a significant amount of money that we have lost now at this point. So now we are looking for more legal action because. Because of how much it's cost us. So that's all I can share for right now. I am going to have my mold lawyer come on soon. Hopefully, we will be doing an interview very soon on that. But that is the update so far. And, yeah, life has been really hard lately. That's why I have not been as active online. I've started to. To do more episodes again of the podcast I took about a month off from recording but y' all didn't even notice that because we were still able to release episodes and stuff. I think we released like one or two older ones re release them just because I just I I could not show up and be on camera. I I've just been. I've really been been going through it. Between the mold being pregnant, we still have not been able to find a home. I will have more on that soon cuz hopefully, hopefully we found a home to bring our baby into this world in. But that has been a really big pain point of ours as well. But that is the update of my life lately and it's been really hard. Um, but my husband is my rock. My husband has been absolutely amazing. I could not ask for a better partner honestly. He has been so present with me and holds me when I am inconsolable about my mom has really shown up for me. So he's been amazing. That's the update on my life y'. All. Thanks so much for listening. Love you so much. Thank you for for all of your support.

I dive into gut health, nutrition, the food industry, and drawing from my own experience, I break down what's good, what's bad, and what's the best for your gut, your skin, and so much more. I even offer gut friendly recipes. New episodes every Monday and Wednesday. Produced by Wellness Loud.
