We talk about…. Prevention of mold which is where we should start. We talk about why you might not want to finish your basement or if you do how to do it the right way. What questions to ask an inspector or remediator Here's a nugget - he states that 60-70% of waterproofing jobs are not needed!! We talk standards for attic ventilation - new home builders pay attention and check out your own attic The standards that an inspector or remediator should be following How to know at the end of a cleaning whether it was done correctly Prevention of mold which is where we should start. I'm telling you this podcast has so much incredible information and helpful information for home buyers, home remodelers, owners of old and new homes and those who are not sure if mold is really the culprit. What I really loved about this conversation with Brandon is he has integrity in his business…he is there to truly help people and wants those with a mold issue not get taken advantage of.

Why You Should Listen:  In this episode, you will learn about a healing guide to support sensitive patients in restoring health. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Dr. Neil Nathan.  Neil Nathan, MD has been practicing medicine for 50 years.  He has written several books including: "Healing is Possible: New Hope for Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Persistent Pain, and Other Chronic Illnesses" and "On Hope and Healing: For Those Who Have Fallen Through the Medical Cracks".   He has been working to bring an awareness that mold toxicity is a major contributing factor for patients with chronic illness and lectures internationally on this subject which led to the publication of his eBook "Mold and Mycotoxins: Current Evaluation and Treatment", and then to his best-selling book "Toxic: Heal Your Body from Mold Toxicity, Lyme Disease, Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, and Chronic Environmental Illness".   His 2021 book "Energetic Diagnosis" is a discussion of the value of intuition and energetic devices as an aid to both diagnosis and treatment of medical illness. His new book "The Sensitive Patient's Healing Guide" was released in early 2024.  He is currently providing mentorship in the treatment of chronic inflammatory illness to approximately 150 physicians, with Jill Crista, ND.  Key Takeaways: What is the difference between sensitivity and toxicity? What is the limbic, vagal, mast cell triad? What tools can be used to support the limbic system and vagus nerve? How might structure be supported without exogenous collagen supplementation? What are the many roles of Epsom Salt baths in working with sensitive patients? What are some potential triggers of Spiky-Leaky Syndrome? What is a Homeostasis Associated Molecular Pattern (HAMP)? Is urine mycotoxin testing a clinically helpful tool? Are there any tests for exploring fungal colonization? What tools have emerged in the treatment of Lyme disease? Is 5G really a problem when it comes to EMF sensitivity? Does working in the mental/emotional, limbic, and vagal realm support detoxification? Is the concern about oxalates more about dietary exposure or fungal colonization? How might salicylate intolerance be approached? What role do structural issues play in sensitive patients? Can benzodiazepine withdrawal be another contributor in sensitization? What are some of the factors that may impact thiamine? What is the role of RANTES as a marker of inflammation? Can people be allergic to their own hormones? Is carbon monoxide a sensitizing agent? Does treating Bartonella potentially serve as a trigger for secondary porphyria? What interventions may support those dealing with spikeopathies? What are some of the many beneficial properties of ketamine in working with sensitive patients?

What are the symptoms of mold illness and how do you clear your body and home from mold? My guest, Dr. Emily Kiberd, shares her story of recovering from mold illness symptoms and navigating more than a dozen moldy homes. A chiropractor, Dr. Emily Kiberd never expected to add “mold specialist” to her list of qualifications. But then, she also never expected to find herself in at least seven moldy homes over the past 14 years, from New York City to Colorado. Across the years, she's repeatedly seen mold-related symptoms arise in herself and her family. Each time, she's had to take a multi-pronged approach to detox her body and either leave her home or remediate. Emily shared her journey and what she's learned along the way about recovery, inspection, remediation, and more. In our conversation, you'll hear about… Her journey of escaping mold across multiple homes in two states The mold-triggered symptoms she experiences and the symptoms she sees in her kids How Emily has addressed her own and her family's mold symptoms Other symptoms that may be linked to mold How she's addressed mold in various homes How you might approach finding mold in your own home Types of mold testing for your body and home Ways to save money by starting with your own visual inspection and some tools to do this on your own When to hire mold inspectors and remediators What happens if you can't find the source? How to decide whether to stay or go if your home is moldy How certain molds like certain types of materials and how to correlate that with your lab tests About Dr. Emily Kiberd Dr Emily Kiberd is a chiropractor of 16 years, mama to Elvis and Brooklyn, and founder of Thyroid Strong, the only doctor-designed strength program for the Hashi ladies to work out without burnout. Thyroid Strong marries the functional movement workouts with functional medicine to heal Hashimoto's symptoms.   She put her own Hashimoto's into remission with dietary changes, refinement in her exercise routine, and lifestyle changes, including addressing underlying environmental toxins.    She's recovered from mold exposure numerous times and shares the good, the bad, and the ugly when it comes to mold detox, mold inspection, and remediation. She now helps her clients living with Hashimoto's do the same to get rid of their brain fog and finally thrive.   Mentioned resources and links: Find Emily: https://www.dremilykiberd.com/ and @DrEmilyKiberd Emily's mold masterclass: www.dremilykiberd.com/mold Ritchie Shoemaker, Surviving Mold: Life in the Era of Dangerous Buildings, https://amzn.to/4aRaQkI Dr. Jill Crista, Break the Mold: 5 Tools to Conquer Mold and Take Back Your Health, https://amzn.to/3RQ51ev Dr. Andrew Campbell, https://mymycolab.com/about_us   Mold testing: ERMI testing from EnviroBiomics: https://www.envirobiomics.com/product/mycotoxins/?v=7516fd43adaa   Inspection tools: Boroscope: https://amzn.to/3tNY0CV Moisture meter: https://amzn.to/3tBhKK8 Humidity meter: https://amzn.to/3tNXSmV   Episode home page: https://rebuildingmyhealth.com/how-emily-broke-free-from-mold-illness-and-7-moldy-homes/   Listen to Rebuilding My Health Radio wherever you find your favorite podcasts…   Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Google Play, Alexa, Spotify, and much more!

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. __________________________________________ IG: @MoldFinders Not sure the best way to get started?

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. IG: @MoldFinders Not sure the best way to get started?

If you listen to just one of my podcasts this month, make this the one.  Dr. Jill Crista is an internationally renowned mold expert.  And as you'll hear, even though she is one of the world's top experts in mold poisoning, upon moving into a new home, she witnessed her family grappling with mysterious symptoms, later identified as mold-induced. Alarmingly, as Dr. Jill points out, over a quarter of buildings might harbor conditions ripe for toxic mold growth due to water damage. So is that yours?  https://drcrista.com/ for more from Dr. Jill Crista   THIS SHOW IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY: BiOptimizers — I'm so pleased to partner with BiOptimizers again. I've been taking their magnesium a lot as the summer holidays come to an end. Isn't the holiday season delightful, whether it's summer or any other time? A chance to take a break from the daily grind and enjoy life to the fullest. However, all the fun aside, we often find ourselves taking a break from our health routine too. Late nights, irregular eating habits, and indulgence become the norm. But when the vacation season winds down, it's time to get back on track with our health. Although it may not be easy, it's essential for our well-being. If you struggle to return to your health routine, I have a valuable lesson to share: focus on MAJORS. Prioritize healthy eating, exercise, and above all, quality sleep. That's why I exclusively recommend Magnesium Breakthrough.

Dr. Jill Crista is a leading expert at the forefront of diagnosing and treating mold-related illnesses. She comes on the show to discuss how mycotoxins harm your health while flying under the radar of conventional testing and medical protocols.   A trained functional medicine naturopath, Dr. Jill first encountered mold sickness when she couldn't help a group of Lyme disease patients feel better. Turns out, all but one tested positive for mold.   Dr. Jill then moved into a new house with an uninvited resident (hint: it was mold) and watched her family struggle with symptoms before realizing the cause, further prompting her research.    If mold is lurking anywhere, it's affecting you.    But you can naturally detox your body and heal using the wisdom Dr. Jill shares in this episode, including: Common symptoms of mold sickness.  The best collection models and tests for your home and health. Why inspectors and medical experts turn a blind eye to mycotoxins (even though they cause 70-80% of mold sickness symptoms). How mycotoxins change your immune system and increase allergy sensitivities. The best ways to eliminate mycotoxins and help your body naturally detox (including which foods to eat and avoid). What makes mold more aggressive and encourages more mycotoxin production (and why routes like burning clean incense may help).

Sinus problems are rampant. Americans spend over $1 Billion annually to treat sinus problems with over-the-counter medications, which is crazy. It's not just common in the chronic illness world and in the autoimmune world, and ESPECIALLY in the mold world, it's common in everyone. Sinus inflammation is interesting. I have had really great success healing my own sinuses. I'm not recommending that everyone (or anyone) do what I did, but what I REALLY DID was I spent several years intensely studying deep immunology and the Ear, Nose, and Throat and Allergy literature, read 100s of studies, and used things like high dose supplements and essential oils to have really good success with nasal polyps and chronic sinusitis. I haven't had sinus issues for over 3 years. Here is a video of what I did to get rid of nasal polyps, it's crazy.  When I talk about sinuses, I'm also talking about ENT areas - ear infections, tonsils, sore throats, pharyngitis, which includes things like Strep and PANDAS, but most of my success was with the nose. The whole ENT region is a hotbed of infections and pathogens, and is right across the wall from the brain, and things like antibodies, histamine, chemical toxins, inflammatory cytokines, and mycotoxins from mold can ride the "olfactory elevator" (as Dr. Jill Crista calls it) right up to the brain - right to deep, midline areas like the frontal cortex (brain fog, etc), pituitary (hormones), amygdala (anxiety, fear, etc), hypothalamus (temp, dysautonomia, etc), neurological dysfunctions and more.  Sinus inflammation drives many immune mechanisms, including Th2 and eosinophilic inflammation, mast cell activation and histamine, and Th17 inflammation, which is tissue-damaging autoimmune inflammation and will drive autoimmune progression. THAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PIECE OF THE PUZZLE!  One thing that can drive this immune activation are chronic biofilms including Strep, Staph (MARCoNS), and Mold/Yeast that are incredibly persistent and antibiotic resistant. Biofilm colonies, like in the gut, grow on sinuses, adenoids, tonsils (that's why they remove them!) and ENT surfaces - and when they adhere to a surface they are over 1000x harder to kill, and they are highly persistent and antibiotic resistant. THIS IS THE OTHER MOST IMPORTANT PIECE! In this episode I talk about 4 levels of supporting sinus inflammation naturally:1 - Breathe Clean Air!!!! Allergies are obviously an issue....You can't be living in mold....I talk about air purifiers, mold candles, HVAC filters, and more.2 - Fix your Gut and Balance your Immune System - I talk about using things like probiotics, herbal killers, SCFA, vitamins D and A, glutathione, perilla, quercetin, luteolin, etc to support barrier integrity, mast cell activation, Th2 dominance.3 - Break Biofilms and Kill Infections - Nasal Spray, Neti Pot, Nebulizer, Gargle - I talk about using essential oils, iodine, hydrogen peroxide, silver, propolis, aqualaurin, biocidin, etc to break up biofilms and help kill pathogens. 4 - Maintain - I talk about the importance of breathing clean air, doing regular nasal rinses, and more to maintain. This is not medical advice, but many people have seen their ENT with very little answer besides antihistamines, antibiotics, or steroids, so these are just some of the things that people are doing out there, and hopefully it can help you solve YOUR puzzle!I also mention this, my favorite newsletter and started by an amazing ENT surgeon:www.sinusitiswellness.com

 Dr. Jill Crista is a return guest on the Delivering Health podcast. The last time she spoke with me we talked about mold toxicity. It's one of our most popular episodes, so make sure to check it out. Another area she's dived into is a debilitating condition that affects children. They can go misdiagnosed for years with this, struggling with attention, obsessive compulsive behaviors and more. And that is a condition called PANS or PANDAS.  Her latest book is  "A Light in the Dark for PANDAS & PANS".   Resources talked about in this episode: Website: https://drcrista.com/pandas-book/ Social media handles: https://www.facebook.com/drjillcrista/ https://www.instagram.com/drjillcrista/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCts7m_lI3g8qYWIi45dlO3w/videos

On this weeks episode, I am joined by Dr. Jill Crista. Dr. Jill is a leading expert at the forefront of mold-related illness diagnosis and treatment. During this interview Dr. Jill Crista and I speak about PANDAS and PANS. PANDAS and PANS happen when infectious and environmental triggers cause total body immune confusion, which in turn targets a child's brain. This results in changes to how the brain works, thinks, processes information, and feels.Topics Covered in This Episode:4:50 - What is the difference between PANDAS and PANS?11:42 - Spectrum of neuro inflammation16:50 - Top environmental toxins to avoid21:27 - Mold exposure and yeast overgrowth26:00 - Importance of sauna therapy31:42 - Strep throat and antibiotics36:22 - Why the rapid strep test is not good enough37:46 - What happens in the body when you are exposed to a rough bought of an upper respiratory infection45:46 - Why aren't we more enraged about children dying from RSV?49:20 - Easy steps if you think you or your child is suffering from PANS or PANDAS58:48 - Can kids use a binders and saunas?Check Out Dr. Crista:Dr. Crista OnlineCheck out her new book "A Light in the Dark for PANDAS & PANSThis episode is sponsored by Sunlighten Saunas.

There's a plethora of health problems associated with mold exposure, one of them no one talks about, which is mold diminishes our ability to maintain our muscle tissue. Since mold exposure symptoms are almost identical to the symptoms of Hashimoto's, mold symptoms can be hard to diagnose. The design of your home significantly impacts the potential for mold growth. Breathable building materials and dehumidifiers will help a lot. However, you must stay vigilant because mold can creep up nearly anywhere.About Dr. Jill CristaDr. Jill Crista ND is a naturopathic physician in southwest Wisconsin. Her practice focuses on taking on patients suffering from the effects of mold exposure and Lyme disease. She's on a mission to educate the public about the dangers of water damage and mold to keep them and their families safe and healthy.Mold is Everywhere, But it Doesn't Mean You Should Suffer From ExposureEven the most common molds can have negative health impacts. The factors behind how mold affects different people include the size of the dose, duration, and susceptibility. Even your genetic makeup and your nutrient intake are also factors. Discovering mold in your home can be devastating. A proper mold inspector, remediation, and cleaning afterward are very expensive. Moving is seldom an option unless you have the financial means. But living with constant exposure will take its toll, especially for the ladies with Hashimoto's. There are steps you can take to help. From not storing cardboard in the cellar to building with specialized materials, you can make it harder for mold to take hold in the first place.Mold's Effects on Your HealthSince mold toxins are fat-soluble, they can travel nearly anywhere in the body. This can create a whole host of symptoms. For this reason, mold exposure can be challenging to diagnose correctly. Even anxiousness, ear-ringing, and pelvic pain can be a result. With so many possible effects, you and your doctor must discover how mold impacts your health.Mold will even impact your muscles. Since many mold mycotoxins act as protein synthesis inhibitors, your muscles may not recover after they break down. That's why mold exposure directly contributes to the loss of muscle mass. While all this can seem frightening, Dr. Crista shares some steps you can take immediately to get back on track.Have you had to deal with toxic mold exposure?

Those activities get gummed up when you're exposed to mycotoxins.” [43:25]“When you move a muscle you can damage it. That's the whole idea of gaining muscle. As you break it down, it will build up bigger. If you have mold on board, you don't get the repair part.” [48:14]Links
