Hi friends! I have a brand new podcast episode live, and today we are talking all about mold and how it can silently be affecting your health.  I'm sitting down with Brian Karr, second generation indoor environmental consultant and co-founder of We Inspect and The Dust Test. Brian has helped thousands of people create healthier living environments and has become a go-to expert for medical professionals nationwide on mold and biotoxin issues.  If you've ever wondered whether your home could be affecting your health, or if you've been dealing with mystery symptoms that nobody can explain, then check out what we chat about: Why mold is not a new problem, but why we are only now starting to connect the dots between it and so many chronic health conditions The surprising reason why dried out mold colonies can actually be more dangerous than wet ones Why new builds are not automatically safe and the three ways mold can get into a brand new home before you even move in Why you do not have to gut your entire house, and how having the right data makes the process far less overwhelming and expensive The most common spots in your home where mold is hiding that you are probably not checking Why those little mold testing pucks from the store can give you both false positives and false negatives and what to do instead What The Dust Test is, how it works, and why it gives you a much more accurate picture of what is happening in your home How The Dust Test can actually cross-reference mold in your home with mycotoxins found in your body The free Mold Exposure Score tool Brian created and how to use it as your starting point And so much more!!
