”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...

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 tak...

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...

Listen, I’m all for reassessing your life, trying to better yourself, and becoming the best version of you there is. 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...

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 te...

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 h...

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. — @MoldFinders Not sure the best way to get started? Follo...

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 e...

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 w...

The secret to reaching your goals as quickly as possible is having a plan. Here’s how to make one. First, decide what the end goal actually is!

I promise in the end, it will save you a bunch of time and mistakes (and maybe even money!). What...

Take a listen and you'll find out just what kind of f...

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...

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...

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.

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 g...

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...
