Dr. Andrew Campbell has spent decades studying the role of mycotoxins in chronic illness and neurodevelopmental disorders. In this conversation with Honey Rinicella, he explores the growing body of research linking mold-derived toxins to neuroinflammation, fetal brain development, and the complex medical presentations seen in many individuals with autism, ADHD, and other chronic conditions. Drawing on more than 100 published studies and years of clinical experience, Dr. Campbell discusses how mycotoxins may cross the placental barrier, why prenatal and environmental exposures deserve greater attention in medicine, and what the current scientific literature tells us about these mechanisms.
The discussion also tackles practical questions clinicians face every day—from selecting appropriate laboratory testing to understanding the limitations of commonly used urine assays, recognizing when mycotoxin exposure should be considered in the differential diagnosis, and developing a thoughtful treatment strategy. Whether you are new to environmental medicine or looking to deepen your understanding of mycotoxins, this episode offers a research-informed perspective on their potential role in prenatal development, neurodevelopment, and complex chronic disease.
