Biohacker and nutritionist Camilla Thompson shares how she beat mould toxicity with biohacks, why biohacking is for all of us (and not just tech billionaires), plus she gives a few simple biohacks we can all do.
Episode Summary
In this episode of Extra Healthy-ish, biohacker and nutritionist Camilla Thompson reveals how she overcame mould toxicity using practical biohacking strategies. After years of unexplained symptoms — brain fog, fatigue, respiratory issues and immune dysfunction — Camilla discovered that toxic mould in her home was the root cause. She shares the specific biohacking techniques that helped her recover, including targeted supplementation, detoxification protocols and environmental modifications.
Camilla emphasises that biohacking isn’t just for tech billionaires or extreme athletes — it’s a set of practical tools anyone can use to optimise their health. From simple daily habits to more advanced interventions, she breaks down what worked for her and what the science says about each approach.
Key Takeaways
- Mould toxicity is often misdiagnosed: Many people live with symptoms like chronic fatigue, brain fog and respiratory issues without realising mould exposure is the underlying cause. Standard medical tests often miss mycotoxin illness.
- Biohacking is accessible to everyone: Simple practices like proper hydration, intermittent fasting and cold water exposure can significantly support the body’s natural detoxification pathways.
- Supplementation matters: Specific supplements including glutathione, activated charcoal and binders can help remove mycotoxins from the body. Always consult a mould-literate practitioner before starting a protocol.
- Environment comes first: No amount of biohacking will help if you’re still being exposed to mould. Testing and remediation of your home must be the first step in recovery.
- Recovery is possible: With the right combination of environmental remediation, targeted supplements and lifestyle changes, most people can recover from mould toxicity.
