In this two-part episode of Everything's Messy Podcast, I sit down with Erika Herman, a functional health expert, researcher, clinician, and best-selling author. We dive deep into her personal health journey, the hidden dangers of environmental toxins, and the critical role of self-advocacy in navigating the healthcare system.
Erika opens up about her battle with mold toxicity—years of unknowingly living in a toxic environment and the cascading health issues that followed. We explore how chronic symptoms are often linked to environmental factors and why many people, including doctors, overlook these connections. Erika also breaks down the complexities of vitamin D metabolism, revealing why standard lab results might not tell the full story.
We discuss the importance of taking charge of your health, pushing for deeper testing, and questioning conventional wisdom. If you're ready to challenge what you thought you knew about health, this episode is for you.
Don’t forget to tune in next week for part two!
