<p>What an awesome episode with Ashley Drummonds, a board-certified integrative health practitioner, former Shark Tank founder, lifelong fitness coach, and someone who’s personally walked through mold toxicity while still competing, building a business, and trying to keep life together on the outside.</p><p><br></p><p>Ashley shares what it actually looked like when things started going wrong: rashes that wouldn’t go away, adrenaline jolts waking her up at night, bladder pain that got labeled as “cystitis,” vertigo, and episodes of shortness of breath that were brushed off as anxiety. </p><p><br></p><p>Like a lot of people in this space, she didn’t get one clean answer… she got a lot of trial and error. And some of those “protocols” actually made things worse. Before the binders, before the supplements, Ashley breaks down why things like eating enough protein, not fearing healthy carbohydrates, and rebuilding strength through resistance training can change how the body actually handles stress, inflammation, blood sugar, and recovery.</p><p><br></p><p>This is a grounded conversation about stepping back from extremes and rebuilding capacity first so your body can actually respond to everything else you’re trying to do for it.</p><p><br></p><p>Want more from Ashley?</p><p>https://ashleydrummonds.com/</p><p><br></p><p>01:14 Meet Ashley Drummonds</p><p>02:54 Mold Illness Journey</p><p>11:23 Exercise When You Crash</p><p>12:13 Strength Training Benefits</p><p>17:31 Nutrition First Approach</p><p>27:48 Active vs Inactive Clients</p><p>32:47 Action Steps to Start</p><p>35:49 Where to Find Ashley</p><p>36:31 Final Takeaways and Wrap</p><p><br></p><p>IG: @MoldFinders</p><p>Not sure the best way to get started?
