In this episode of The Functional Edge, Dr. Julia Ward welcomes Dr. Monica Jauregui, MD, IFMCP, a leading voice in integrative medicine with a deep personal and clinical understanding of mold and mycotoxin illness. With roots in internal medicine and ICU care, Dr. Jauregui now focuses on helping patients navigate complex chronic conditions, particularly those caused by environmental toxins like mold.
Together, they uncover how mycotoxins—tiny, toxic substances produced by molds—can silently wreak havoc in the body. From fatigue and immune dysfunction to emotional dysregulation and gut issues, mold illness often flies under the radar of conventional testing.
Tune in to discover why your unexplained symptoms might be connected to your environment—and what you can do about it.
Dr. Monica Jauregui, MD, IFMCP, shares her powerful journey from ICU physician to integrative mold expert. She and Dr. Julia Ward unpack the science behind mycotoxins, how to properly test for exposure, and the often-overlooked gut and brain impacts of mold illness. This episode is a must-listen if you're navigating chronic, unexplained symptoms and want to explore root-cause healing.
Dr. Monica Jauregui is a board-certified internal medicine physician and certified functional medicine practitioner (IFMCP). After experiencing mold illness firsthand, she now specializes in helping patients uncover the hidden root causes of complex chronic illnesses, particularly those related to environmental exposures. She combines conventional knowledge with holistic treatments, focusing on detoxification, gut healing, nervous system support, and patient education.
