What is Mold Exposure Treatment?

Mold exposure treatment is a comprehensive approach to managing and alleviating the health issues caused by exposure to mold. Mold, a type of fungus, can grow in damp and humid environments, often found in homes, workplaces, and other buildings. When mold spores are inhaled or come into contact with the skin, they can cause a range of health problems, from mild allergic reactions to severe respiratory issues. At Eternity Health Partners, we understand that mold exposure can significantly impact your quality of life. Our mold exposure treatment is designed to address the root cause of your symptoms, providing both immediate relief and long-term solutions to prevent recurrence.

What Are the Benefits of Mold Exposure Treatment?

  1. Symptom Relief
    The primary benefit of mold exposure treatment is the alleviation of symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, skin rashes, and respiratory issues. This can significantly improve your day-to-day comfort and overall well-being.
  2. Improved Respiratory Health
    Mold exposure can exacerbate asthma and other respiratory conditions. Effective treatment can help reduce the frequency and severity of asthma attacks and other respiratory symptoms.
  3. Enhanced Immune Function
    Chronic exposure to mold can weaken your immune system. By addressing mold-related health issues, you can boost your immune function and reduce your susceptibility to other illnesses.

What Should I Try at Home Before Seeing a Provider for Mold Exposure Treatment?

Before seeking professional treatment, there are several steps you can take at home to mitigate the effects of mold exposure:

Identify and Remove Mold Sources
Inspect your home for visible mold growth and eliminate it. Use a mixture of water and detergent to clean affected areas, and ensure proper ventilation to prevent future growth.
Air purifiers with HEPA filters can help remove mold spores from the air, reducing your exposure and alleviating symptoms.
Keep indoor humidity levels below 50% to prevent mold growth. Use dehumidifiers in damp areas like basements and bathrooms.
Regularly wash your hands and clean surfaces to reduce the spread of mold spores.
Keep track of your symptoms and their severity. This information can be valuable when consulting with a healthcare provider.

MEET ELIZABETH BECKNER AND DAISHA ESCAMILLA

OUR CALIFORNIA LICENSED PHLEBOTOMISTS

Liz started doing personal blood draws after her son, Dashiell, was born with Zellwegers disease. His diagnosis required numerous blood draws and drug levels throughout his life. After sitting through long wait times at the labs followed by watching many different phlebotomists, many new to the job, struggle to find his veins, often poking him multiple times, as a seasoned phlebotomist, Liz decided to draw his blood at home and hand deliver it to the lab myself. Soon after she began doing personal touch blood draws so she can now offer that same personalized service to you.

Liz graduated from Pepperdine University with a degree in Biology in 1994. She moved to Santa Barbara and earned her phlebotomy certificate in 1995. Liz began working at St. Francis Medical Center in the Physical Therapy Department and quickly transferred to the Laboratory. Perfecting her venipuncture techniques on all floors of the hospital, including post-operative patients, pregnant women going into labor, sick or premature babies, and emergency room patrons, she then improved her patient care skills working for internal medicine doctors, one of whom was the Medical Director of Hospice and won Doctor of the Year. In 1999, Liz started working with a group of local retinal surgeons. Her primary job consisted of injecting dye into arm veins and photographing its flow through the patients retinal vessels. When patients are worried about their diagnosis or apprehensive about the procedure because of difficult veins, her quick, almost pain free needle stick and kind but professional bed side manner would put them at ease.

The various settings and patients Liz has encountered over the years have enabled her to become very skilled at finding the smallest and most fragile of vessels. Her specialities include infants and the elderly, diabetics of all ages, patients with rolling veins, on blood thinners or chemotherapy. She lives in downtown Santa Barbara, travels from Goleta to Carpintera and brings all the necessary supplies directly to you. All she needs from you is a lab request and your home or office becomes an instant draw station. Appointment times are very flexible, and she is friendly, reliable and punctual. Be kind to your arm and treat yourself to the luxury blood draw you deserve!!!

MEET MICHAEL BROOKINS; BS, CNMT, ABAAHP

Mike brings more than just a medical perspective to his clients; at the age of 14, he began an athletic career as a pole-vaulter that would end up taking him on an incredible journey over the next 13 years of his life. Throughout his athletic journey Mike was constantly working to find the ideal balance of fitness and proper nutrition in order to maximize his performances. Combined with his medical knowledge the years of athletic experience provide a unique and successful combination that serve to benefit his staff and clients.

“After I shifted the focus of my practice from Sports Medicine into Nuclear Medicine specifically Interventional Endocrinology. I found myself questioning our western medical paradigm…Here I was performing thyroid cancer and Hyperthyroidism treatments with harmful radical thyroid radioactive ablations which really made me take a hard look in the mirror and become more of a researcher to find safer and more effective options to better treat my clients. During my research I realized that there were very few, if any, medically directed programs focused towards achieving a “Healthier Lifestyle” rather than typical “Diet” fads.” A few years later after training and working with some of the worlds foremost Bio-identical Hormone Replacement specialists I became Board Certified in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine. Sort of just found my passion and the answers I had been looking for with this new specialty finally after years of treating people with the Band-Aid “fix it when its broken” mentality instead of at the root cause.”

Mike has spent the last 10 years in Anti-Aging, Functional and Regenerative Medicine. He has trained over 120 physicians in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine and consulting for their practices. Today his vision is a reality, and clients from all of the world come to benefit from the successful programs that have been established at Age Management Institute Santa Barbara. He firmly believes in educating the patient about the importance of good nutrition, hormone balance, stress management, and regular exercise is the key to aging well and having a high quality of life well into your golden years.
