What Poison Ivy and Mold Have in Common (And Why Your Body Won't Hold Onto Minerals)

Lydia Joy Season 2 Episode 14


In this eye-opening episode, I share a personal story about a severe poison ivy reaction that revealed profound insights about why your body might be rejecting minerals and supplements - even when you're doing everything "right."

What You'll Discover:

The Hidden Connection: How poison ivy exposure mirrors mold exposure and other environmental toxins that trigger your body's protective mechanisms

Why Your Body Goes Into "Survival Mode": Understanding the Cell Danger Response and how it affects every system in your body - from digestion to hormones to sleep

The HTMA Reality Check: Why Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis results look different today than they did 10 years ago, and how to interpret the complex patterns we're seeing

• The Gentle Approach: Why aggressive supplementation often backfires when your body is in Cell Danger Response, and what to do instead

• Beyond Quick Fixes: How environmental factors you can't control (like shared living spaces or workplace exposure) affect your healing timeline

Key Takeaway: When your body is in Cell Danger Response, it's not rejecting your healing efforts - it's allocating resources toward massive protective work. Understanding this changes everything about how we approach mineral balancing and recovery.

If you've been frustrated by slow progress despite following protocols perfectly, this episode will help you understand what's really happening beneath the surface and how to work WITH your body's protective wisdom instead of against it.

*Perfect for anyone dealing with mold exposure, chronic fatigue, hormonal imbalances, or mysterious symptoms that seem to resist conventional healing approaches.*
