Healing PCOS & Mold Toxicity & How Your Home Environment Impacts Your Health with Shreya Vohora #162

·51 min·4 clips

When you're 21 years old and you get told you have an inflamed womb, you're like, what does that even mean?

The body gave early warnings. Shreya talks about extreme fatigue, inflammation, joint pain, mucus, and breathlessness that felt like more than being out of shape. She had to pep-talk herself just to get upright. That lands hard, because the issue was not willpower. Her body was asking for attention. Sarah slows the story down and keeps it useful. She asks when Shreya first knew something was off, then helps separate the hormone piece from the mold piece. The mold symptoms had their own pattern. A program about mold helped Shreya name what she had been living with, even while UK support sounded thinner than the doctors discussed in America. From there, the home becomes part of the health story. Shreya links built environments with energy, focus, sleep, and long term wellbeing, then brings it back to changes ordinary people might actually try. The conversation stays grounded in lived experience. Mold toxicity and hormone imbalance do not become big abstract labels. They stay attached to what a body feels like day after day. Small rituals get room too. Shreya talks about using natural oils like coconut, olive, or sweet almond oil after stressful days because the simplicity feels calming. Sarah catches that detail warmly, especially the natural aromas and the relief of avoiding synthetic perfumes. By the end, the episode has moved through symptoms, home environment, practical self-care, and the need to listen before outsourcing every answer. Healing sounds less like a chase and more like a return.
