Aaron Hartman, MD poses the central question of the video: how to test for mold exposure. He frames two major camps — urine mycotoxin testing (looking for mold toxins in urine) and blood testing for immune-system biomarkers — and asks which approach is the correct one.

How do you actually test for mold? There's two major camps. One camp looks at urine, mycotoxin testing, looking for signs of mold in your urine. The other camp doesn't look at the urine. The other camp looks at blood testing to look for biomarkers, for marks of your immune system being upregulated, dysregulated, and abnormal. Which is the right way. Is it urine testing for mold toxins or is it blood testing?
