Mold Illness & Environmental Medicine in Seattle

Comprehensive support for chronic symptoms related to mold exposure, water-damaged buildings, and environmental stressors.

Living in the Pacific Northwest means frequent moisture, older buildings, and long rainy seasons. Mold exposure is more common here than people realize, and many patients struggle with lingering symptoms that don’t improve with standard care. Our environmental medicine approach looks at how your home, workplace, and surroundings may be influencing your health – and what you can do to recover.

What Is Mold Illness?

“Mold illness” is an umbrella term for symptoms triggered by mold spores, mycotoxins, or other contaminants found in water-damaged buildings. These exposures can affect the respiratory system, sinuses, immune function, gut health, mental health, and overall inflammation. Some people are more sensitive due to genetics or existing conditions, and their symptoms continue long after leaving the environment.

Common Symptoms of Mold Exposure

Patients typically seek care when they notice persistent symptoms such as:

  • Chronic fatigue or feeling “burned out”
  • Sinus congestion, post-nasal drip, or recurrent infections
  • Brain fog, trouble focusing, or memory changes
  • Headaches or migraines
  • Shortness of breath, worsening asthma, or cough
  • Heightened allergies or chemical sensitivities
  • Skin rashes, hives, or eczema flare-ups
  • Hormone shifts, sleep problems, or mood changes
  • Anxiousness, neurologic symptoms, or dizziness
  • Digestive issues such as bloating or nausea
  • Feeling worse in damp spaces or older buildings

If your symptoms improve when you travel – or worsen at home or work – environmental factors may be playing a role.
