Today, instead of offering tactical advice, I want to share personal stories of people who have overcome significant health challenges due to mold exposure.
These stories highlight the importance of persistence, targeted remediation, and the impact of environmental changes on health recovery.
From my first client Nick, who overcame extreme chemical sensitivities, to Jessica, who battled CIRS, Lyme disease, and brain cancer. Proper inspections and remediation prioritization were essential in improving health outcomes.

153: Real Mold Stories Told by Real People with Dr. Jill Crista (Part 4 of 4)
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.

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.

149: Understanding IV Laser Treatment & NAET for Mold-Related Health Challenges with Dr. Daniel Johns
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.

147: Small Steps, Big Healing: Harnessing the Power of Incremental Change with Dr. Tom Moorcroft
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.

146: Beyond Quick Fixes: Nurturing Long-Term Well-Being with Dr. Mary Pardee
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.

141: The Importance of a Healthy Microbiome: Insights from Dr. Jocelyn Strand
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.

139: How to Heal your Gut From Mold Toxicity w/ Kiran Krishnan
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!

134: Mold Minisode: Why You Need A Mold Inspection Before Remediation
#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.

129: Why New Years Resolutions Are Kinda Trash
But why does this idea of transforming your life only happen ONCE a year?
Why can’t I start a new workout routine on February 11th? Or finally get my finances in order started May 3rd. What if I want to start reading more books on June 13th?
There’s so much unnecessary pressure and anxiety placed on this one day a year, when really we have so many other opportunities for improvement every day.
Break your goal setting down into quarters throughout your year.
This way, not only are you able to relieve some of the stress, but you’re also able to consistently re-evaluate what your goals truly are.
In today’s episode of #moldfinders RADIO, I walk you through exactly how I set up my goals for success.

127: Mold Toxicity Ignorance in the Mainstream Medical Community w/ Matt Kelly
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?

126: Why You Need 2 Outdoor Baseline Air Samples
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.

123: Can You Waterproof a Basement With a Drain and Some Plastic?
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.

122: How To Prevent Mold in Your Heating and Air Conditioning Systems
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.
