Ancient Bodies, Modern World: Tending to...

About this episode

From bloating to brain fog, menstrual pain and even dementia…could mold be an invisible factor?

This week we have my friend, Womb Room member, artist and wellness guide Ciera Tavana sharing her personal story of mold exposure, and her autonomous process of investigation that led her down the path of healing and integration.

In our conversation:

  • Ciera's personal health journey and how she became curious about mold as a cause
  • Navigating bloating, fatigue, brain fog and other symptoms
  • How she went through a healing process, even without ever doing testing
  • The histamine process that is related to mold reactions, and the function of mast cells
  • Aan ancestral and spiritual orientation to tending and preventing mold
  • Why tending the nervous system is important in healing histamine responses
  • Ciera's work MUSE, and her upcoming program

Connect with Ciera and MUSE on Instagram, and check out her small-group, personalized support in the winter Ancestral Wellness program -- enrolling now!
