Michelle Young Says 'Severe' Mold Exposure Drove Months of Illness, Cut Honeymoon Short

Her Instagram update attributes months of unexplained symptoms to severe mold exposure based on new test results.

Overview

  • Young said she and husband Jack Leius ended their Italy honeymoon seven days early because her health declined.
  • She reported eight months to a year of symptoms including extreme fatigue, brain fog, panic attacks, heart palpitations, hypoglycemia and POTS‑like issues.
  • After earlier evaluations were normal, she said a recent mycotoxin and mold test indicated she had been severely exposed.
  • Young said she has begun an intensive detox with medications and IV therapy, is avoiding gluten and dairy, and has moved with Leius to a Minneapolis home they consider safe.
  • She did not specify the mold type, and reporting noted general Cleveland Clinic guidance that many molds typically cause milder symptoms.
