Have you ever wondered what could be lurking in your home, affecting your family’s health without you even knowing? In this episode of the Soaring Child podcast, special guest Wendy Berndt shares her incredible journey with finding mold in her home: the initial signs that made her suspect mold, the health issues her kids faced, and the tough journey of getting medical professionals to see the link between mold and health problems.

With over 17 years of experience reviewing high-cost medical claims and collaborating with employers on wellness strategies, Wendy has profound insight into the impact of poor lifestyle choices, medication, and toxic exposures. Her personal journey is interwoven with the difficulties her children faced – navigating ADHD, anxiety, impulse control, and emotional dysregulation.

After discovering the effects of toxic mold through the ADHD Thrive program, she became very passionate about helping others discover their own path to healing.  As an FDN-P, wife, and mother of three, Wendy personally understands the challenges parents face. Her commitment extends beyond professional expertise; it’s a heartfelt dedication to make a difference in the lives of others.

Memorable Moments:

”It [mold] can affect everyone, even if you don’t realize that it’s affecting the whole household.”

”It’s neuro-toxic. It definitely has so much impact on the body and when you start digging in, you don’t know that at first. I mean, I’ve learned so many things along the way just by making mistakes.”

”I saw all my kids’ symptoms – and my own – just increase like crazy. It was ten fold. It was this giant dose of mold, and I could just clearly see what was impacting them…it made me a huge believer.”

”It was a very different range of symptoms for each one of us and so it was hard to pinpoint exactly, ‘Oh, I think our house is making us sick.”

”The professionals that we’re going to, they don’t always know everything.”

”Trust your instincts. You know yourself best. You know your children best.”

”If somebody says to investigate mold, you have to do it. Don’t wait like I did because I would have found out sooner!”

”If you’re suspecting that mold might be an issue, get a test done…Not all tests are made equal.”

”Your body will heal. That’s what our bodies are made to do. Just keep going. There is light at the end of the tunnel.”
