Mold-related illness can be difficult to evaluate when patients are experiencing digestive problems, hormonal changes, fatigue, and other symptoms that seem unrelated. Determining where to begin requires more than identifying a possible environmental exposure. It requires understanding how different factors may be affecting the individual. Dr. Peter Kozlowski is a functional medicine physician who has practiced root-cause medicine since 2011. Drawing on his experience in gut health, hormonal health, environmental medicine, and chronic illness, he joins John Bohde to discuss how his clinical approach has evolved from treating individual symptoms to assessing multiple contributing factors. Their conversation covers environmental testing, moisture and humidity problems in homes, personalized detoxification strategies, and the challenges of prioritizing care when several body systems are involved. Dr. Kozlowski also shares how he uses artificial intelligence to interpret complex clinical information, streamline patient communication, and support practitioner decision-making without replacing medical expertise. In this episode, you'll discover: Why mold-related health concerns may overlap with digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, chronic stress, and other conditions, making individualized assessment important when determining which issues to address first How identifying potential exposure sources, including water damage, elevated indoor humidity, and HVAC contamination, can guide environmental investigations, and why Dr. Kozlowski considers stopping exposure an important part of his clinical approach How AI-assisted tools may help functional medicine practitioners organize laboratory information, assess competing treatment priorities, and communicate complex health plans more clearly while preserving the need for clinical judgment and human connection This episode is for people experiencing persistent or unexplained health concerns who suspect mold exposure may be contributing to their symptoms, patients navigating complicated treatment decisions, and healthcare practitioners interested in personalized environmental medicine and the responsible use of AI in clinical practice. - - - - - About the Guest: Dr. Peter Kozlowski is a functional medicine physician who has practiced root-cause medicine since 2011, with a background in family practice.
