Many think they're interchangeable, but mold allergies and mold illness are actually different things! They affect the body in different ways, as my guest today will explain.
My guest today, Dr. Kasey Holland, is a licensed Naturopathic doctor.
She earned her Doctorate in Naturopathic medicine at Bastyr University in Seattle, WA through a four-year CNME accredited program. While there she completed specialty rotations in environmental medicine, immune wellness, oncology, IV therapy, Parkinson’s disease, emergency medicine and mind body medicine.
After this, she worked in an Integrative health clinic that incorporated functional medicine during her residency. This has provided her with exposure to a wide variety of pathologies and patient care in order to serve you better.
She has always been passionate about helping people overcome mystery and chronic illnesses. This was further solidified after her own health obstacles.
Dr. Kasey's specialties include the toxic trio: chronic EBV, Lyme disease, mold exposure.
