Dr. Jeff Bone
Psychologist | Chronic Illness Mentor & Coach | CIRS & Mold Recovery Advocate
What happens when the psychologist who’s spent years helping everyone else suddenly becomes the patient?
Dr. Jeff Bone lived it. After black mold (the real Stachybotrys kind) contaminated his office HVAC, his world collapsed — vibrating floors, memory loss, “Swiss cheese brain,” crushing fatigue, and a diagnosis of Common Variable Immune Deficiency (CVID) on top of CIRS. The medical system largely gaslit him, told him it was anxiety, and offered prednisone as the only answer.
On Space Tomatoes S3-EP2 (“My Immune System Has Narcolepsy”), Jeff gave us the unfiltered story: how he went from treating patients to fighting for his own life, the brutal reality of chronic inflammatory response syndrome, and the hard-won lesson that when you’re in the 10% of cases that don’t fit the decision trees, **you** have to become the expert.
Raw, funny, deeply insightful, and zero victim mentality — this is the conversation for anyone dealing with mysterious chronic illness, mold exposure, or just tired of being dismissed by doctors.
