  Mold Course Q – Food Therapy & Mitochondrial Support

  Posted by mishaakhan1999 on August 22, 2023 at 5:46 pm

  Hi Bernadette & Daniel,

  I was going over the mold course and I had a questions.

  What is the amount of “stinky” foods to eat daily? I see that it says 4 cloves of garlic daily, but what about plants from the onion family?

  An additional question was if I want to take the whole body antifungals as teas – would you recommend rotating between them or combining them in one tea?

  If it is the former, would the order be based on severity (most gentle to most potent) or would it be based on need (e.g. olive leaf for hypocholesterolemia properties for someone struggling with high cholesterol too)? After how long would I switch up the tea?

  If it’s the latter, is there a specific combination that you would recommend?

  For mitochondrial support, is there a way to determine how much support you need so the supplementation can be more targeted? Would NIR/red light therapy be beneficial? If so, would it be for the whole body and for how long?

  Thanks!

  Hey ,

  I would just like the antifungal supplements to rotate the antifungal teas every 4-6 weeks. I personally like combinations as well. The reason for that is that sometimes one herb is very potent for fighting one form of mold (or a strain of a certain mold species) and less potent for fighting another strain.

  You could choose a few different teas and rotate them every 4-6 weeks with another combination.

  It is possible to choose your foods, herbs and supplements wisely and target multiple health conditions. I would advise you to prioritize only one health condition.

  For example, in the case of high cholesterol, it would be great to have something that brings it down. Oleuropein (the active ingredient in olive leaves that has been related to cardiovascular benefits) could help reduce inflammation and inhibit LDL cholesterol oxidation (if you like to learn more, read this article).

  If it makes the number of lifestyle choices very complex, I would prioritize one above the other.

  It could very well be that just focusing on mold could bring cholesterol values down. A diet that would reduce mold would show much resemblance to a diet that helps balance blood sugars, which is a common root cause of elevated cholesterol levels.

  More targeted mitochondrial support requires you to know how mitochondria are affected. An OAT for example can provide you this level of detail. I do believe the supplements mentioned in the video “Strengthen Defences – Mitochondrial Support” are pretty good. From that selection, I like Mitochondrial NRG from designs for health a lot since it has a wider combination of ingredients that can support the mitochondria in different ways.

  Another product that I like for the same reason is Nerve Support Complex from Thorne (you can find it here). They rebranded the name, but it used to be called Neurochondria. It is a little higher in CoQ10 as Mitochondrial Support and it has a little more L-carnitine (which is necessary for fatty acid oxidation) and alpha lipoic acid (which improves mitochondrial function by boosting respiratory enzymes). 

  Mitochondrial Support has the benefit that it has a wider range of B vitamins, some magnesium and manganese (which is necessary to form the enzyme Superoxide Dismutase which helps reduce oxidative damage).

  They are both good choices, but just support in a little different way.
