Ballin' on a budget? Who isn't these days?

And, financially preparing for a mold problem isn't exactly at the forefront of our minds until it slaps us in the face.

So how does anyone afford to take care of a mold problem?

This is one of the biggest questions people have.

Mold inspections and remediations can be an overwhelming process. And yes, there can high costs associated with properly addressing your mold issue.

So I wanted to outline steps to ensure it's done correctly the first time to avoid unnecessary expenses.

It’s so important to start with thorough initial testing to accurately identify problems, using a specialized approach to prioritize remediation efforts based on health impact rather than tackling all issues simultaneously.

I also wanted to talk about an awesome and unique financing option we have to enable our clients to manage costs effectively.

Lastly, I wanted to introduce to you a remediation priority method (RPM) that combines lab results and personal circumstances to create a customized, cost-effective remediation plan, focusing on significant impact issues to improve one's health and living environment.

Today’s episode is part 2 of my four part series with equi.life and I’m joined with the one and only Dr. Stephen Cabral!

We focus on personalized health plans developed from my unique lab results that were analyzed by Dr. Stephen Cabral.

We discuss the importance of individualizing health approaches, such as adapting diets, improving sleep patterns, and customizing exercise routines.

This is all based on insights from my testing done for heavy metals, nutrient levels, Candida, metabolic and vitamin profiles, and mycotoxins (as talked about in part 1).

The nuanced interpretation of these lab results revealed the impact of lifestyle choices and the necessity of a balanced approach to achieve optimal health through tailored nutritional guidance, supplementation, and detoxification strategies.

Getting to optimal health starts with testing.

From birth, Ali's child experienced a cascade of symptoms - allergies, sleep disturbances, severe eczema, and alarming neurological changes.

Doctors said it couldn't be their home; after all, it was a brand new construction.

But, even in a relatively new construction home... There can be mold.

Allie's story highlights the critical importance of intuition, persistence, and having a supportive partner when dealing with mold-related health challenges.

We discuss the surprising impact of mold on their lives, the daunting decision to leave their home, and the remarkable transformation in their child's health since making that tough choice.

This eye-opening episode serves as a powerful reminder that mold-related issues can affect anyone, regardless of your age or the age of your home.

Steve's journey is marked with challenges…

He and his family experienced a range of symptoms from changes in pant size, brain fog, and thyroid issues, to tinnitus, and even serious diagnoses like testicular cancer.

Many of these symptoms remained mysterious until a conversation in 2021 when someone mentioned the possibility of mold, which led Steve to a revelation.

He remembered a water leak in his basement, which had been overlooked.

The biggest lesson to learn from Steve is to keep at it.

You can and will find answers.

Today marks the 150th episode of #MoldFinders: RADIO!

There’s no other way to celebrate this milestone than having Dr. Jill Crista join me for a very special episode! So special we couldn’t fit it all in one episode.

In fact, it's so special that we couldn't squeeze it all into one episode! This episode marks the beginning of a four-part series.

Over the next four episodes, we'll introduce you to four incredible individuals who will share their personal stories about their journey with mold and the healing process.

First up is Kaycee.

After the birth of Kaycee’s third child in 2017, she began suffering from various health issues like fatigue, neuropathy, and memory lapses. Then, after several medical tests returned normal, she discovered Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) and Pediatric Acute Onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS).

Sadly, their "forever home" was found to be mold-infested, leading to the tough decision to leave and extensively remediate.

Despite the pain of discarding most of their belongings due to contamination, Kaycee stresses the importance of health over possessions.

We hope Kaycee’s story provides you the hope you need to continue moving forward.

Get ready! Today we have chiropractor-turned-integrative medicine provider, Dr. Daniel Johns, joining us to share his personal journey of healing from mold. To start off he introduces the concept of IV laser treatment. This treatment involves irradiating blood with different wavelengths of light while it circulates in the body. He explains the distinct benefits of various wavelengths and how they can enhance microcirculation in the brain and other tissues, among other benefits. Then, Dr. Johns discusses a variation of the original NAET (Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques). Once a patient is diagnosed with imbalances or sensitivities in the body, they undergo specific treatments to "retrain" their body's response. The end goal is to modify the immune system's reaction to things like mold, mycotoxins, Lyme, etc., and retrain the central nervous system to not overreact to these triggers. While other treatments like ozone therapy might help kill pathogens in the blood, the combination of IV laser treatment and his NAET approach can both kill pathogens and strengthen the immune system. Dr. Johns concludes the episode by sharing his passion for helping patients overcome their health challenges and regain their quality of life. He highlights the significance of combining innovative treatments with a holistic approach to promote overall well-being and long-lasting results. Want to learn more about Dr. Daniel Johns?

On this episode of #moldfinders: RADIO you’re in for a treat!

We have Dr. Tom Moorcroft, a leader in solving complex medical mysteries, joining us for an eye-opening discussion about healing. Dr. Tom starts off by explaining his journey with Lyme Disease and how it shaped him into the doctor he is today.

We compare healing to the butterfly effect; small, consistent efforts can lead to substantial results over time. This is particularly relevant when dealing with chronic illnesses like mold or Lyme disease, which can alter a person’s cognition and emotions.

Dr. Tom introduces the concept of “hormesis,” a beneficial effect resulting from exposure to low doses of stressors. He also recommends breath work and daily gratitude exercises as simple ways to stimulate and calm the nervous system simultaneously.

Our bodies often revolt against drastic shifts.

Therefore, the practice of small, regular challenges, which slightly discomfort the body, can boost one’s health and resilience over time. Finally, Dr. Tom urges patients not to solely focus on their illness but to actively take steps toward health and recovery.

On today’s episode of the podcast #moldfinders: RADIO we have Naturopathic Doctor and founder of Modrn, Dr. Mary Pardee, to discuss long-term well-being and longevity!

Dr. Mary explains that when patients come to her with symptoms their primary focus is often on immediate relief. However, she emphasizes the significance of looking beyond symptom management and understanding the underlying causes of these issues.

The conversation shifts to the integration of preventive wellness with the treatment of root causes. Dr. Mary suggests that while immediate relief is essential, there is a longer-term goal of preventing future health problems. By establishing a solid foundation of health and addressing the factors that led to the symptoms, significant improvements can be achieved in symptoms and overall well-being.

Dr. Mary also emphasizes the need for individuals to envision their own goals and desired quality of life, taking into account their long-term aspirations and functional abilities as they age.

We reflect on the challenges of prioritizing long-term preventive measures, the difficulty of shifting focus from short-term fixes, and discuss personal experiences and the struggle to sustain new habits. We also highlight the importance of maintaining a sustainable approach to preventive wellness while balancing other life commitments.

Dr. Mary explains the concept of squaring off the health span curve, aiming to maintain a high quality of life until the end. They emphasize the ethical considerations surrounding extended lifespans and the need to ensure that longevity is accompanied by a good quality of life.

Our guest, Fallon, has a story that will move you to tears.

She and her family struggled dealing with mold toxicity, and her daughter was severely affected.

Fallon found herself lost and needed help figuring out where to turn until she stumbled upon our podcast.

Through listening to our free content, Fallon found the guidance and support she needed to get her family well again.
Fallon's daughter Stevie was severely speech delayed and almost non-verbal, but through Fallon's dedication, Stevie no longer meets the requirements for her ASD diagnosis.

This is why I put all of this free information out there.

So you can take it and make positive, meaningful change, no matter your situation.

If Fallon can do it, you can do it too!

In this episode, we have a special guest, Dr. Jocelyn Strand, the Director of Clinical Education and Research at Biocidin Botanicals.

Dr. Strand shares some fascinating insights about the microbiome, highlighting the importance of maintaining balance for optimal health.

Did you know that a healthy microbiome in the gut helps us to degrade macromolecules, absorb nutrients and minerals, and synthesize enzymes and vitamins?

Short-chain fatty acids produced by beneficial microorganisms also help to heal the gut lining and have a systemic anti-inflammatory effect.

On the flip side, chronic low-grade dysbiosis can cause a range of symptoms, from fatigue to anxiety and depression.

Dr. Strand also shares some practical tips for evaluating your gut health, including looking for clues and triggers, such as low levels of CoQ10 and symptoms like tingling or itching.

Join us as we explore the fascinating world of the microbiome and learn how to maintain balance for optimal health.

Did you know that only 10% of how our body works comes from genetics, while a whopping 90% comes from our microbiome?

That's right; our gut plays a central role in controlling our overall health and well-being, and any disruptions can have far-reaching consequences.

One of the most significant disruptors of our gut health is mold.

Today, we are joined by the Co-Founder of Microbiome Labs Kiran Krishnan, who takes us on a journey of discovery through the intricate workings of our body's microbiome.

So how important is the gut microbiome compared to other areas of our body?

Well, it's the most crucial control center for all of them, based on signals they receive from the gut. The largest percentage of microbes in your body lives in your gut, and they feed other areas of the body, including the brain. In fact, the largest portion of immune tissue is in your gut, and your microbiota translates to others how to respond.

But here's the kicker – mold is the most common way autoimmune is triggered. When mold lands on a piece of tissue, an isolated inflammatory response occurs, and innate immune responders burn everything down, including your own cells. Adaptable immune responses are slower but more methodical, targeting specific bugs. However, if your gut is dysfunctional and missing t-reg function, your system cannot identify your own body's tissue, leading to autoimmune triggers.

We call this the bystander effect – when your body starts attacking everything, including your own cells, leading to a host of chronic illnesses.

But fear not – our expert guest has some great mold protocols with different products to help keep your gut microbiome healthy and thriving.

So, sit back, relax, and get ready for a wild ride through the fascinating world of gut health and mold with Kiran Krishnan!

We have our cars checked and get a physical at least once a year to make sure there are no issues.

Spoiler alert: We spend 90% of our time in our homes.

So, why don’t we treat our homes like we treat our cars?

The most common places I see issues in kitchens are:

Sinks
Dishwasher leaks
Refrigerator leaks

But on today’s episode of #moldfinders: RADIO, I’m here to tell you there are simple and easy ways to prevent these problems from happening in the first place.

1: Remediators are NOT inspectors.

They are going to come in, remediate whatever you tell them to, and leave without checking for any other issues.

2: You might not need something remediated.

Sometimes an area looks way worse than it actually is. If you’re just remediating something because it looks bad, you could be wasting your money.

3: You don’t know what’s the highest priority.

Some mold problems are worse than others, but you’d have no way of knowing which area of your house is causing the most issues without an inspection.

And listen, I understand the need and want to get your house to a healthy place as quickly as possible.

But if you’re skipping out on the actual mold inspection piece of it, you’re just derailing your progress.

”How do I remove the mold in my shower?”

”Is mold making me sick?”

”Is it all in my head?”

And while these are all valid questions, there’s just simply no way I can answer these without more details about your specific situation.

On today’s episode of #moldfinders RADIO, I’m going to be talking about how It’s just like skincare.

What works for one person’s skin, isn’t just going to magically work for everyone else’s.

There’s no “now you see it, now you don’t” trick up my sleeve, I promise you.

I wish it was that easy.

So no, there’s no magic mold solution.

But there is a long-term solution — listen and find out!

A lot of what I talk about online is about how to get you feeling better after you’ve already figured out you have a mold problem in your environment.

But I wanted to do a series on how to PREVENT mold in every room in your house.

Just like getting an annual physical, your house needs constant maintenance and check-ups BEFORE any issues arise.

And look, here’s a lollipop for being so brave and taking these preventative measures 🍭😝

On today’s episode of #moldfinders RADIO, I’m talking all about LIVING ROOMS and how to prevent mold growth in other finished areas of your house.

Two huge problem areas I see in houses are windows and carpets.

So check out this episode to see exactly how to stop a mold problem in its tracks and ensure you’re avoiding any potential problems.

Are you a new homeowner and still have questions about these tips?

Over the years, I've been lucky enough to connect with all different kinds of health specialists in this community.

These conversations truly help people understand the health and mold connection.

I'm just a mold inspector whose health was impacted by mold.

I'm not a doctor. Though some may consider me a house doctor 😎

So don't just take my word for it!

On today’s episode of #moldfinders RADIO, I've compiled 5 different interviews with different health specialists and selected my favorite point from each.

While this is probably still only scratching the surface, this is a great resource for anyone who's health or family has been impacted by mold.

Many thanks to our guest speakers: Caitlin Crowell, Dr. Jaban Moore, Dr. Elena Roumell, Bridgit Danner and Allison Rassp.

This episode is kind of a special treat, because I'm going to be running through one of my favorite things to do.

Use mold metaphors!

Today's episode is going to run through my top metaphors from 2022. These are topics that I discuss very often in order to help explain concepts in a way that you guys can understand.

The five metaphors you are going to hear today:

5: Dust Is Like A Spiderweb

4: Your Body Is Like A Car

3: Mycotoxins Are Like A Volcano

2: ERMI Results Are Like Drunk Math

1: Mold Is Like A Factory

If you haven't heard these before, they can be really helpful for explaining core concepts and understanding how to wrap your head around what's going on in your space and how you may be getting impacted.

Imagine begging to be taken seriously by mainstream medical doctors while they try to convince you it’s “all in your head.”

That your mold toxicity symptoms are “psychological.”

That’s the nightmare that Matt Kelly went through with his son that led him to where he is today. But it’s a super common nightmare, and many of us have gone through it.

If you could go back to some of those doctors and tell them how wrong they were, would you?

On today’s episode of #moldfinders: RADIO, I'm going to walk through why outdoor baseline air samples are so important.

Every house in every city on every block is going to have a different outside airborne fungal ecology than somewhere else.

Mold is a natural thing that grows everywhere outside.

You can’t know what’s going on inside your house if you have no idea what’s going on outside of your house.

The baseline sample is a comparison point that tells us 2 things:

Is the mold count inside the house lower than outside the house?
Are there different mold types inside the house than outside the house?

If the answer is “Yes” to either of these, we’ve got ourselves a mold problem.

And if we didn’t take the outdoor baseline sample, we wouldn’t have known there was any issue at all.

And what’s better than one outdoor baseline air sample? 2 outdoor baseline air samples!

But we’ll cover that by the end of this episode, too.

Have you ever talked to a mold "expert" and heard claims like:

"An air sample will tell me all I need to know."

Or...

"Look for a mold-free home by finding one that's less than 10 years old."

This industry is full of misconceptions and I'd like to talk about some of the statements I hear the most.

These are my top ten #moldymisconceptions.

Let's face it, basements are common places to find water problems which makes them a common place for mold to grow.

If you've dealt with that issue before then chances are someone has tried to sell you on the idea of installing a drain to "waterproof" the basement.

Or even worse, plastic seals on the walls to "stop mold from growing."

In this episode I talk briefly about these approaches and how effective they really are in dealing with a leaky basement.

If you have air conditioning in your home, listen up!

Every breath you take is either maintaining or deteriorating your current health position.

Air conditioners act as the lungs of your house, breathing in air and spitting it out through every vent.

When mold fragments become airborne, they bypass our body's natural filtration process, settling in our bloodstream.

In this episode, we’ll go over why air conditioners are crucial to spend time and effort protecting from contamination, how air conditioners get moldy in the first place, and what steps you can take to prevent contamination.

In the health and wellness industry, you’ll find two types of businesses:

Those who see you as a human being struggling with a problem that they are invested in fixing and those who see you as nothing more than dollar signs. The single thing separating these two types of businesses is empathy.

In this episode, I talk about empathy and why it is the most important thing for me as a person and as a business owner, as well as some of my other “car thoughts.” You’ll just have to wait and see… — @MoldFinders Not sure the best way to get started?

Your house should be included in your treatment plan.

I can confidently say that certified holistic nutritionist and past We Inspect client Kelly Bluth would agree.

Kelly suffered from 2 years of unexplained gut issues; her usual combo of consistently eating clean and exercising wasn’t working, which raised suspicion that something was wrong.

And then loads of brain fog, fatigue, and sinus issues started to hit her…

Like many of our clients before they find us, Kelly was told to start mold-health protocols while living in her moldy environment, dealt with a bunch of $hitty local inspectors trying to take shortcuts, and ended up feeling WORSE.

A much healthier Kelly Bluth continues to empower her clients by helping them find the root cause of their chronic gut and skin issues.

Kelly knows from personal experience that you can take all the supplements in the world, and you STILL wouldn't get to the root cause of a mold problem.

Because health starts at home.

I’d encourage all of my #moldfinders to listen to Kelly’s story to find similarities, solutions, and big lessons to help you stay on the right path to healing and avoid common mistakes.

I hope this episode gives you encouragement that you can get through this; despite the obstacles in your way.

Remember: research and reviews are essential, but trusting you will be cared for and heard during the inspection process is priceless.

Ever hear that phrase “you are the sum of the 5 people you spend the most time with”?

In 2022, it should be updated to “you are the sum of who you follow on social media”

Every time you scroll you are being subconsciously influenced. Shaping your thoughts, opinions, and ideas…

Think about it. Have you ever gone down the rabbit hole about a specific health regmine that you’ve been seeing on your feed (red light, enemas, saunas, castor oil, dry brushing, Kim etc)?

Do you feel like you “need it” to get healthy?

Or do you immediately “add to cart” after seeing someone’s Instagram story because you saw it worked for them?

We’re all guilty of it!

The health and wellness world can be extremely overwhelming, especially in the social media space.

This is why we MUST protect our “feeds of influence.”

In this episode, we cover:

Why it matters who and what you’re following on social media
How your social network influences you
How and why I personally curate my social media feeds

This episode is about breaking down the complexities of living a healthy lifestyle into simple, actionable steps.

I knew Dr. Megan Birt had to be our guest for this one; that’s her thing!

Dr. Birt is the host of the Just Enjoy Health Podcast and is a Holistic Health Chiropractor.

She loves wellness and making it simple for those who want to get started in the natural health space.

In this episode, I sit down with Vice President & Co-founder of the Change The Air Foundation, Kendra Seymour.

Kendra is a passionate indoor air quality/mold advocate and mother of two whose family was impacted by water damage. Change The Air Foundation is on a mission to empower the world to achieve better health by meaningfully addressing the impact water damage, mold, and other pollutants have on indoor air quality.

In which, of course, I naturally align with! I recently joined the board as a Strategic Advisor and am excited to help educate leaders at every level of government about the dangers that water damage, mold, and other indoor air pollutants pose to public health.

There are companies out there called “emergency response” or “water restoration” companies. These companies will come to you when you have a leak to dry it out.

The problem is mold takes just 24-48 hours to grow. So if you do the math, by the time you call the company, and they actually get the building materials dry, 48 hours almost always passes.

This means you now have a 70-80% chance of mold growth in those areas.

I don’t really how how emergency response drying companies are able to get away with this without making sure there isn’t a mold problem, but it happens all the time, even though their Industry Standard (IICRC S500) specifically tells them that it shouldn’t!

Listen to hear how you can avoid this, or to help jog your memory of areas in your house that have been professionally dried, but where there may still be mold problems as a result.

Enjoy!

First, I want to introduce you to Joe Horvath. He’s my most Senior Lead Consultant at We Inspect… and basically a carbon copy of me. Haha.

I’m having Joe on the show to share a story about one of our clients and our interactions with her from start to finish.

This client started with an ERMI (like many do). Her ERMI score that said her home was fine. But something about that didn’t feel right…

So she used the ERMICode (ermicode.com) and found out that her ERMI result was completely lying to her.

Then she had an inspection and we found multiple issues in her home. So she hired a remediation company to follow our recommendations.

Then she had a post inspection after remediation and found out that the remediators left some major issues behind! Now she’s getting those fixed (as they should’ve been the first time).

This client followed the process exactly how you’re supposed to, and because of that, she took back control of her home an health.

Enjoy!

Kristina Baehr’s family was impacted by toxic mold. Lucky for us she is an attorney who at the time was working for the US Attorney’s Office trying personal injury cases.

Now she has devoted her life to representing mold sick families against the people who made them sick. And along the way is building an army of attorneys who can help these families all across the country.

In this episode we talk about what a person needs to do to make sure their case is in order before bringing to attorney.

We’re taking the types of samples you need, where they need to come from, and how long you have to make it all happen before the statue of limitations expires.

If you’re considering legal action for an uninhabitable living environment due to mold, this episode is a must listen.

Kristina is the founder of the law firm Just Well. You can contact her and her team at: http://well.law

Mold reports can be confusing and they reference different “mold conditions”, but most people don’t know what that means. I break that down for you.

Need to prioritizing remediation? I share my framework for deciding what to do first.

Home kits vs Professionals? That’s not the right question. The right question is how to define the professional that you’re comparing against.

Succession creator Jesse Armstrong quoted Leon Trotsky, “Revolution is impossible until it’s inevitable,” to speak about the shift when Logan looked into Lukas Matsson’s eyes. At that moment, he decided to sell the company.

He could see the difference in Matsson as compared to his kids. He wanted his kids to take over his company, but realized it wasn’t going to happen, and his best option was something he thought was never possible.

A lot of us in our mold journeys are at some point along Logans journey. Some of us think we’re unstoppable and some of us have realized that isn’t true.

We also answered some questions in the live Clubhouse room.

I’m starting off the year of podcasts (admittedly a tad late… I blame my newborn who doesn’t sleep very well) by pulling the curtain back on We Inspect’s 2022 Vision Meeting, the huge mistake I think I made in 2021, and what I’m doing this year to make it up to you.

Then we discuss a conversation I had with a client yesterday how and they told me of a previous leak they had, but not to be worried about it because they handled it “right away”. Here I’m going to tell you how and why stopping a leak “right away” doesn’t prevent mold from growing.

Last week a family member had a product leak under their sink, and they didn't know what to do! So they started a group text with our whole #moldfinding family to get answers. It ended up being a great chat with a lot of smart people, so on this episode I'm summarizing the situation and the ultimate recommendations we gave to our family member so they would handle the issue properly.

This episode was recorded live on Clubhouse, so afterwards I opened up the room for questions, and in between questions talked about "post-pandemic" Disneyland for the Parent Corner segment. In the Q&A we covered DIY remediation, HVAC testing & remediation, and post remediation ERMI testing.

The ERMI Code has been my secret project for the last 6 months. And now it’s finally ready for you.

The ERMI Code is an insanely cheap interpretation tool that takes your ERMI result and provides an additional layer of context for what you can expect in your own home (yes!).

How many mold sources to remediate?
How does your home compare to others?
Should you stay or move?

These are the questions most people want answered when first running an ERMI. But once the ERMI test results are delivered, they quickly realize their questions still remain.

Listen to learn all about the ERMI Code, how it answers these questions, and why I made it so affordable.

Our bodies and brains are so amazing. They inherently know when we are in danger, or when something is good for us.

But for some reason we rarely listen them. So in an effort to try to make us listen, they created that “gut feeling”.

This episode shares my theory about trusting your gut, and how you can be more in sync with what your body is trying to tell you.

I've been getting asked this question a lot lately.

If I remediate the moldy building materials, why do I have to clean my house afterwards?

Remediation includes 2 phases.

Phase 1: Source Remedaition (Removing walls, ceilings, etc. where mold was found growing) Phase 2: Home Cleanse (Cleaning the entire home from cross contamination)

Most people only want to do phase 1. Heck, many remediation companies only know about phase 1!

But phase 2 is so important. And without it, you'll likely come back into your home and not feel significantly better. Then you'll think remediation doesn't work and feel like you need to burn your house down.  You don't, you just need to make sure not to skip phase 2.

Shawna (@alittlelesstoxic), a non-toxic ninja, joined me for an awesome conversation on how we can all easily reduce the toxic load in our homes.

5 easy ways we discussed are:

Cleaning product formulas
Avoiding specific toxic ingredients (“fragrance”, “natural flavor”, etc.)
Navigating the biggest toxin contributors that you may not know about.
Non toxic scent alternatives
Simple bedroom changes (bedrooms may be the most important rooms in our home for healing)

Shawna has SO much to share. To learn more from her, check her out @alittlelesstoxic on Instagram.

Hey #moldfinders! I’m coming to you today from paternity leave after the birth of my baby boy (Zayden Phillip) 9 days ago!

But that’s not what this episode is about. I’m just super happy 🥰

In this episode I break down a conversation I had with a client a few weeks ago regarding sampling and the expectations that should be set based on what type of sampling you execute.

The key takeaway is that source level testing is always the top priority. To better explain, I give an example of a health diagnosis and compare that to diagnosing your home. This is the same example I shared with my client.

My goal with this podcast is to share with you all that I can to help inform your decisions on how to handle your own mold situation. And pulling the curtain back on my client conversations is one way I try to do that 👍🏻

Michelle is on her way to becoming a nutritional therapy practitioner and has had personal experience with mold toxicity, gut issues and hormone issues… and she’s super cool!

I saw a post of hers on Instagram that completely resonated with me. It was about living our lives in awareness vs living our lives in fear.

I thought it would be amazing to speak with her more about that idea because that approach can relate to multiple challenging areas of our lives, not just mold!

My dad bought me a used car when I was 16. What he did before finalizing the purchase is something we should ALL do before buying a “used” home. In this episode I tell you exactly what that is.

Also, I’ve had many “bad” experiences where after some time has passed I realized they were actually the best thing that could’ve happened. That’s why I believe things happen for a reason. I share a couple of these stories and what you can learn from them during a new home search.

I get so many questions that go beyond mold. Specifically about how to build and create a healthy home.

I’m talking building materials, VOCs, paints, beds, rugs, etc.

So I asked Ashley Spanovich, founder of Awakening Spaces to answer your questions!

Ashely is a licensed interior designer and environmental consultant, and a great resource to help create a healthy non-toxic home.

Here are some of the things we covered:

The truth about “green products”
Toxin absorbing fibers
Paint that neutralizes humidity
VOCs and SVOCs
Avoiding formaldehyde
Paperless drywall
Mattresses & linens
Dirty electricity
And a bunch more!

So if you’re interested in learning about what to look for in a variety of building materials, furniture, and products to make sure you’re maintaining a non-toxic lifestyle... this episode is for you!

You can find Ashley on IG @awakeningspaces and at AwakeningSpaces.com

I’m reading the book called “Read People Like a Book”. I’ve always thought it was super interesting to understand why people do the things they do.

Well in the FIRST chapter my mind was blown!

Why?

Because I leaned exactly why several of my clients (or their family members) dismiss or diminish the effect mold has on their lives, and what we can do to help them “see the light”!

Does that sound like something you’d like to learn more about?

Strap in. This is one of my favorite episodes...

Eve is an integrative health practitioner and gut & thyroid expert. She has also been dealing with a mold issue in her home.

Eve was kind enough to share her own mold inspection and remediation story (which is still in progress) so we can learn from her mistakes.

So take notes, and learn from someone who has a truly unique perspective of being able to understand and explain the home-health connection.

So many of us are worried about cleaning mold, and doing it the right way. But the truth is, we should be more worried about preventing it in the first place.

I talk through what this means, and then share my favorite mold cleaning product. You can get that product info right away at moldcleaningproduct.com if you just want to know right now 👍🏻

Also, I introduced the first ever segment of Parent Corner. Listen, there’s more to mold guys. And as the father of a 2 year old (with another one on the way in August), I felt like I wanted to share what parent life is like in my world in case anyone can relate (or help me keep my sanity...).

I’ve been getting so many inquires about what technology to use in HVAC systems.

Filters, Purifiers, UV lights…

Intellipure, IQAir, Reme Halo, Air Oasis, UV lights…

If you’re considering technology to help protect your HVAC system, then this episode is a MUST listen. What I share here is the exact same conversation I have with my clients...who pay me lots of money!

So check it out, and if you find any of it useful, please leave a review on the podcast and let me know!

Michael Rubino (president of All American Restoration) texted me this morning to talk about testing, and how to best communicate its importance to those looking for a true mold remediation.

We started texting and realized how important this private text thread was for everyone to hear. So we just decided to record a full episode on the spot so you could be a fly on the wall during this behind the scenes conversation.

In this episode we talk about testing & remediation conceptually, we give analogies to help cement in the concepts, and then talk about real projects that we have worked on together to tie it all together.

Also go check out Michael’s new book “The Mold Medic”, it’s an amazing book and a wealth of value.

(We refer all of our We Inspect clients to Michael’s company as he has the best remediation mind of anyone I’ve encountered).

The Mold Medic

I was recently asked to write an article for a blog that covered 5 things we can do to limit or prevent mold exposure in our homes. It was fun for me to do, but as some of you may know, I like to tell stories and give examples that solidify the ideas I teach. And in a blog post, I don’t have that flexibility.

So this episode will give a deep dive on each of the 5 items that I discussed in that article. Here they are:

How to maintain areas of constant water movement (sinks, washing machines, etc.)
How to clean your shower to prevent water from getting and behind the tile walls.
How to maintain grout throughout your home (showers, sinks, etc.)
A cleaning regimen that will reduce your exposure to mold and toxins.
A professional maintenance schedule to help prevent future water and mold issues before they start. —

Brendan has the gift of being able to explain complex concepts in ways that are easy for ANYONE to understand.

This episode breaks down how the environment impacts our gut microbiome, and how that can result in neuroinflammation. And the effect that mold and mycotoxins has on that entire path.

Here are just some of the topics we covered: * Vegetarian diets can promote fungal overgrowth * What effects gut microbial diversity * What causes “leaky gut” * What is a “gut reset” and how does that work? * How endotoxins (bacterial toxins) can be so detrimental to our health! * 2 ways the gut is connected to the brain. * What creates a “leaky brain” * Brain detoxification * And so much more!!

I’m STILL so proud of you #moldfinders!

This is the full story from my teaser last week.

Moral of the story... THIS is how you take control of your mold situation and don’t get burned my local mold inspectors that don’t know what they’re talking about 👀

I’m in pretty rare form on this episode... hope you enjoy 😉

This is a short teaser for my next upcoming episode. I was so excited about it that I couldn’t wait to record the whole thing. So here is a little taste.

But the moral of the story is... you aren’t letting mold inspectors that don’t know what they’re doing influence you anymore... and that’s amazing!

Are you thinking of doing remediation yourself?

Does your spouse not believe you and think they can do it without any repercussions?

Do you want to know why the EPA is WRONG and being able to remediate yourself in certain circumstances?

This episode is for you...

I understand why people want to remediate themselves... because it can be expensive!

But is that a reason to expose yourself to particles and chemicals that are literally trying to kill you!?

Do the cost benefit analysis... it’s just not worth it.

AND... I shared a free resource I created that will help you make sure that when remediation is done... it’s done properly. You can get that here:

Bernadette Abraham (a health expert friend of mine in DUBAI!!), reached out to me about one of her clients this week.

They had just had a tub overflow in their home, and they wanted to make sure they were handling it properly.

Bernadette asked me for some advice that she could share with her client... so I wanted to give YOU the same advice.

This episode covers: * Visual Inspection * How to use a moisture meter * How and what to test after a flood * How to use this information to maximize your insurance payout

AND... I shared a free resource I created that will help you make sure the remediation is done properly. You can get that here:

My Client: “How do you do that?”

Doctor: “Just find a home less than 10 years old.”

ARE YOU F*KING KIDDING ME!?!?

So you find out you need remediation. The next question is usually...

“Where am I going to live while it’s happening? Can I stay in my home during the process?”

I try to never tell anyone they HAVE to do something, but instead I explain the pros and cons and let them decide for themselves.

That’s what we’re doing today. By the end of this episode you should be able to make an educated decision for yourself on where to go during remediation. 😉👍🏻

I got a bunch of texts over the holiday regarding new construction homes. Sounds like a bunch of you are getting some nice Christmas presents!

Anyway, inspecting a new construction home is a little unique compared to “lived in” homes. So I break that down in this episode.

Highlights: 1. Why you need to test the living spaces of the home 2. Where to look for clues to see if a significant amount of moldy wood was used in the home. 3. Why AC / heaters MUST be tested 4. The reason VOCs and Formaldehyde are more prevalent in new constructions

Scott was impacted by Lyme disease and mold illness, and that started him on the path to becoming then”Better Health Guy” (Check out his podcast “Better Health Guy”).

That path has also led him to co-founding the Forum For Integrative Medicine conference. A medical conference focused on treating and healing complex illness... yes, that means mold illness too!

In fact, Corey Levy and I are presenting at the conference this year as the only indoor environmental experts!

So I wanted to have Scott come on a share a bit about the event coming up March 5-7th, and the amazing lineup of speakers and topics (including me!).

Many times while working with clients I become somewhat of an armchair therapist.

Why?

Because if your emotions are out of control, you won’t be capable of properly addressing your mold issue.

This episode talks about how we can prepare ourselves emotionally so we can heal physically.

As some of you have seen, I just got a new infrared sauna.

I know many of you have seen that because my IG messages and Mold Phone texts piled up yesterday with all kinds of questions.

“What kind is it?” “Why did you get that one?” “Where did you get it?” “But I thought they get moldy?” “How to keep them from getting moldy?” “How to clean them?”

Seemed easier to answer everything at one time for all of you to hear. 😉👍🏻

Another Q&A episode... all from the Mold Phone! Here’s what we answered...

“I would like to get our apartment spot tested for mold, but I'm getting push back from local inspectors saying they need permission from the landlord first. Should I try to get permission? Are there alternatives?” - Marlene

“People in Facebook groups say you become more and more sensitized to mold, so sick people react more strongly to less and less mold. By their rationale, remediation is pointless as long as there is even a fragment of a spore left. I'm curious what you think of this.” - Christie

This episode is a case study from an inspection (by my company We Inspect) we did last month.

The reason I chose this project is because there were limited “mold factories” present, but the HVAC systems we more significantly impacted.

I explain why this happened and how to make sure it doesn’t happen to you!

Finding hidden mold takes two things…

Knowing where to look
Proper sampling

I talk so much about the first piece, but this entire episode addresses the second piece.

*How you build a sampling plan

*The different types of samples we use and how to collect them

*How we put all of that information together to build out a remediation plan.

Ever heard of “Out of Sight, Out of Mind”?

It’s a real thing, and it explains a lot about building practices (using moldy wood to build).

But it also explains a lot about how we investigate and prioritize dealing with mold issues in areas we don’t “occupy”.

Like attics.

By the way... we may not live in our attics, but our house doesn’t know that, and it still recirculated air down into our “living areas” from that space.

Want to know how?

And want to know what to do about “lumberyard mold”?

I’ve got all of that and more in this episode. Enjoy...

We have an epidemic...

Not only of water damaged homes, but also of the mold inspectors who “inspect” them.

But I tell a story today about my weekend, which showed me that this isn’t only a problem in mold industry... but all industries!

Also, I had time to answer the following question...

“We killed the source of mold (or so I thought), but random stuff throughout the house is still growing mold. What gives?”

“Some don’t believe in ERMI. Is there another way to prove the existence of mold in the house?”

“Does water damage always mean mold? Even if it has been checked but you can’t see any mold?”

“I’m thinking about thoroughly HEPA vacuuming our mattress to clean it from being in a moldy house. Then encasing it in a mattress cover. Do you think that would make the mattress safe to use?”

It can be really expensive...

But what if you didn’t have to pay full price for remediation?

That’d be awesome!

Today we share our entire playbook on how to maximize your coverage!

Here is the quick overview... and we go in depth on each one of these in the episode:

1) DON’T CALL YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY!

2) STOP the water

3) Mold Inspection

4) Get Remediation Bids

5) Hire a public adjuster

6) Now you can contact your insurance company...

If you go out of order you can literally cost yourselves tens of 1,000s of dollars!

I had a question come in about a new home someone was wanting to purchase.

They listed all of the things about the home that I “wouldn’t like”. But then said they loved the house and asked what to do...

For the 50th episode I wanted to do something special…

So I asked my friend Dr. Jill Crista to join me!

The mission…

Connect water damaged buildings with their impact on health in a way that neither of us have done before on any other podcast!!

I can’t be more happy with the conversation that followed.

And I’ll tell you right now… This isn’t your normal “mold / health” podcast episode! Here are some highlights…

Mold and mycotoxins are not the whole story
The role of bacteria and endotoxins in gut health
How the air you breath impacts your gut
How understanding the water damaged burden of the environment can help your doctor
Have you BECOME the water damaged building?
SIBO and mold
Candida and mold
Detoxing strategies based on your ability to move toxins
And a bunch more…!

Thanks so much for being a part of Mold Finders Radio’s 50th episode… Enjoy!

There is a scam that I’ve seen happen over and over again from some of the “top experts” in our field.

It’s disgusting and I don’t want it to happen to you.

I wanted to do this episode for a while. But I’ve been hesitant, because it’s quite disruptive for our industry.

And frankly... those who are doing this will know I’m specifically talking about them.

So please listen to this episode. It’s very important.

I went back in the question archives for today’s show.

The first was “Do you need remediation when you’ve gutted a moldy house down to the studs and subfloor?” - Short answer, yes! Listen to hear why...

Second was “What are mycotoxins? Can they be tested for in the house? Are all molds toxic?”

These were 2 more great questions from the #MoldFinders. Keep them coming!

There are times when you “know” where the mold is coming from in your home.

If you only focus on that area, and don’t investigate the ENTIRE home, you’ll often miss finding other hidden mold issues... that may be even worse!

Listen as I walk through a previous assessment where the daughter had massive brain inflammation described as “volcano brain”.

There was a known attic issue that the client wanted to focus on. And while there was definitely a problem there, there was another very significant problem that they didn’t suspect.

I woke up Saturday morning...

Brushed my teeth...

Went to get something from under my sink...

And MOLD!!

There was a leak... only 5 weeks after moving into our new home.

Listen as I talk through my testing plan, and what I should’ve done (and what you CAN do) to prevent this from happening!

Everyone... Meet Corey Levy, my We Inspect co-founder... and cousin!

Today we talked about a call Corey received from a tenant who is dealing with a pretty significant mold issue.

We talked about...

Dealing with a landlord.

Should you pay for your own inspection and testing?

How to show if your belongings have been contaminated?

The “Mold Rush”

The goals of different sampling methods.

And a bunch more...

Today’s episode covers a few more questions from last week’s submissions...

“Have you seen remediation work?”

The answer is yes, but there are some things you need to do to make sure.

“Best test? ERMI or EMMA?”

So that’s not really the right question. The right question should be...

“What are the best test for source identification, determining exposure, and identifying if the HVAC system is contaminated?”

I break all of those down...

I posted a video on Instagram this week where I paused a HGTV show and pointed out a massive mold issue that they didn’t even acknowledge.

The result was a flood of comments and messages, basically asking...

“How can you avoid this situation if you are moving into an older home?”

So in this episode I share with you what I would do if I was purchasing an older home to make sure that there were no hidden mold problems that would be impacting me.

So I was working on a report yesterday for a client and saw something interesting.

They had a high ERMI result, but no significant sources of mold in the home.

How could this happen? Where is it coming from?

It has obviously been renovated, but there are some great lessons we can pull from this one.
