Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. IN THIS EPISODE: (04:56) Jenn M. shares her professional background and discusses her skin cancer diagnosis(07:33) Jenn M. experienced health problems, leading her to discover black mold in her home (15:17) Why mold exposure can often be overlooked and what about mycotoxins(22:06) Symptoms associated with mold exposure in your home and taking a mold sabbatical(27:46) Visual contrast screening (VCS) and urine testing(33:03) Get a professional to do mold remediation(39:16) Jenn M.'s toxic checklist available to members and EMF radiationKEY TAKEAWAYS:While not all mold is dangerous, certain types release toxic compounds called mycotoxins, which can cause significant health problems. These toxins often go unnoticed in homes, especially in water-damaged buildings.The symptoms of mold exposure, such as ear ringing, vertigo, teeth grinding, brain fog, and digestive problems, often resemble those of other conditions. This can lead to a misdiagnosis, as traditional medicine treats symptoms individually rather than considering an underlying cause like mold or mycotoxins.If you suspect mold exposure, go on a "mold sabbatical" by leaving your home for a few days, ideally staying in nature. If symptoms improve outside your usual environment, this could indicate a mold issue in your home.Visual contrast screening (VCS) and urine tests can help detect mold exposure, but they are not foolproof. Proper mold remediation should include sealing off affected areas, using air scrubbers, and treating mold with appropriate solutions (not bleach). Additionally, diet and detox protocols should be personalized to support recovery.QUOTES: (13:18) “That innocent mildew in the shower, you think nothing of it, but it could be a sign of moisture accumulation in your home. That mildew can further burden the body if you're already dealing with a moldy situation.” - Jenn Malecha(19:45) “The body will encapsulate toxins and mold in the fat, and we start putting on weight that we can't lose because it's the body's protective mechanism. So it's brilliant, it's frustrating, but it's a brilliant mechanism.” - Jenn Malecha(21:14) “The confusing piece is that the symptoms connected to mold or mycotoxins look like symptoms of many other things. And so as our western medicine system does, we address all of those symptoms individually rather than saying, well, what else could be going on here?” - Jenn Trepeck(36:06) “I want everybody to hear it, but it bears emphasis that we remove these foods for a while to support healing. That allows us to add those foods back in eventually.” - Jenn Trepeck(43:34) “Take the steps that we're willing and able to take when we're willing and able to take them versus feeling like you have to do everything all at once and then are totally overwhelmed.” - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramWhat Your Thyroid Says About the Rest of Your Health (feat.

Time and again, he noticed individuals seeking re-remediation for continued adverse health reactions or reoccurrence of mold colonies. As fate would have it, his wife, Colby, grew up in a family consisting of some of the nation's leading mold inspectors. They quickly confirmed Michael's concerns with how poorly the current remediation industry was addressing homes. His experience led him to establish HomeCleanse, a company focused on change.

By working with scientific understanding, he was able to create alternative remediation protocols. These treatments provide solutions that not only get rid of mold sources but also get rid of the contamination created by those mold sources using his proprietary “Home Detox” method.He quickly realized that while he could try to help as many clients as possible every year, the best way to help improve indoor air quality worldwide was to share his wealth of knowledge with others.

Episode Summary I'm joined by Michael Rubino, aka The Mold Medic, to discuss how to overcome poor air quality and create a safe home environment. Michael is the leading expert on all aspects of mold, remediation, and air quality. We talk about how to get started if you suspect mold in your home, how to find a great remediator, and Michael's top product recommendations. Key Takeaways Someone who has Hashimoto's is likely to be a lot more sensitive to mold than someone without it. Michael shares easy visual inspections that you can do around your house and highlights possible places where mold can hide. He lists his go-to sampling strategies, including collecting dust, to test for toxins and abnormalities. He also details what to look for when building a team of experts to help you remediate and remove mold from your home. Michael Rubino Michael Rubino has become a renowned leader in the mold and remediation space. President of HomeCleanse, formerly known as All American Restoration, and author of The Mold Medic: An Expert's Guide on Mold Removal, Michael continues to push the conversation forward for creating better indoor air quality. He is also a council-certified Mold Remediator by IICRC and ACAC and a contributing member, sponsor, and speaker for the Indoor Air Quality Association. Hidden In Plain Sight: How To Inspect For Mold In Your Home The air that you breathe is essential for your health and wellbeing, especially if you have an autoimmune condition. One of the first places that Michael checks for mold is in toilet tanks. Other water-based appliances like washing machines, dishwashers, and coffee makers are common breeding grounds for mold. When was the last time that you checked your HVAC system filter? We all love having heating and cooling in our homes, but it's a major way for mold to spread. Finding The Right Solution For You A lot of people turn to bleach when they see mold in their home, but Michael recommends using botanical products and hydrogen peroxide instead. If you want to go deeper, Michael details a couple of different sampling strategies that a good mold inspector would use and explains what to look for in a professional remediator. He talks about the next steps and shares why it's so important to find a bespoke solution that matches your budget and end goal. In This Episode Emily asks Michael, “where should someone start if maybe they're suspecting water damage and mold is a factor in this bigger picture of having an autoimmune condition?” [ 1:52 ] Michael shares his recommendations for HVAC air filters. [ 9:58 ] Michael and Emily discuss cleaning remedies. [ 13:55 ] Michael breaks down the science behind the dust test. [ 21:43 ] Emily asks Michael, “How would you find a good remediator? What kind of questions would you ask?” [ 27:37 ] Emily asks Michael a couple of rapid fire questions, including his top air filter recommendation, how he feels about humidifiers, and if HEPA vacuums are a necessary household item. [ 39:53 ] Michael shares his final thoughts and message to anyone struggling with mold exposure. [ 47:16 ] Quotes Just relying on visuals and smell is not always enough to really determine what's going on. [ 20:13 ] There's nothing that you can just spray and pray. You have to remove the carbon footprint that's left behind by whatever you're trying to remove. [33:48] From a psychological perspective, if you're going to be wondering every time you cook with that spatula if mold is getting into what you're cooking, then just throw the spatula away. [38:53] Be patient. I know it's hard to do when you're not feeling well, but when we make quick, rash decisions, we sometimes miscalculate and make mistakes that don't yield us the results we're looking for, especially with mold.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: B: Hi Dr Cabral - I take the Daily Fruit and Vegetable Blend, and I see it contains Camu Camu amongst other fruits which is high in Vitamin C. I didn't see vitamin information on the Supplement Facts, and I was curious what would you estimate the DFV to provide as far as Vitamin C. Would you estimate it's more than 100% of the daily recommended intake? Thanks for a great product. Tina: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you so much for everything you do! You are a blessing to all of us and are greatly appreciated!!!….. So, my son is 7 years old and was diagnosed with Methylmalonic Acidemia on his newborn screening. His body can not properly break down protein. And he will have to be more of a vegetarian. But the problem is that he has always been a super picky and doesn't like vegetables. Since he started eating solids the doctors told me to feed him what he will eat. (With his condition he can't go a day without eating or he can go into a metabolic crisis). I have tried almost everything to get him to eat vegetables and he wants nothing to do with it. What can I do to get him to eat healthier? The doctors say that it's a stage that some kids go through and he will grow out of it. Thank you again!!! Noelle: Hello! Thank you for all you do – I am learning so much from your podcast in the short time since I discovered it, and am very grateful for the wisdom and resources that you provide. My question is regardinga recently discovered receding gum line on several teeth. I am 25 and do not have a history of dental issues (I had a root canal in high school, but that's about it), though I do have chronic pain and a number of other random problems that I have been working through for a decade now. It was a bit of an alarming discovery, and I have been scouring the Internet attempting to discern how I might have caused this. What would be your primary recommendations to keep this from getting worse/improve it if that is at all possible? Mallory: Hi Dr Cabral! I submitted a question a couple of months ago about mold/fungus in my sinuses, and your answer helped me so much! Thank you! I had a couple of follow-up questions. I've struggled with mold / fungal / bacteria overgrowth since I was a child (I had 4 sinus surgeries & was on almost constant antibiotics from the age of 4 to 12). I am 28 years old and am just now getting treatment for the root cause. Ochatroxin A was at 25 when last tested in Feb. Are you able to help me have an idea as to how long I may be detoxing for? I would love to start a family soon but I am currently seeing biofilm in my stool & urine every day, and have been for almost a year. I have pain in my lungs and anxiety while detoxing. I was strict with my diet for 2 months, but as I begin to introduce more foods, I feel pretty poor. My husband and I moved out of our 110 year old home that had visible mold to a 10 year old house. We did get the new house mold tested, and they assured us the house was mold free. We have since found small amounts of mold in the pantry and kitchen. We also brought some things over from the old house that could had mold spores in them, such as clothing. Should we get rid of that clothing? Are small amounts of mold spores okay if we have a good air purifier? Amy: I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Root Cause Protocol (iron disregulation caused by copper/magnesium/ceruloplasmin imbalance) and if you've read the book. Thanks! Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am really interested in Ayurveda and I was wondering if there is histamine intolerance is connected to the Pitta dosha(based on the physical body type). If so, why are dry and astrigent foods usually recommended for pitta imbalance such as beans not recommended when you have histamine intolerance. I understand that these food lists should not be taken at face value and there is a lot more complexity to Ayurveda in general so I would love your input on it.

After working for a number of years in the mold remediation industry, Matt Dayton decided that it was time to start his own company. He saw an opportunity to offer both an affordable and high-quality service to the many low-income households that were being neglected in the Greater Pittsburgh area. He grew up in a low-income household, so he knew that these were the very people that needed this type of service the most.Matt grew tired of watching underserved families get priced out the market while competitors catered to the high-income end of the price range. So, he invested every last dollar he had and brought in a few partners to get his business off the ground. Four years later, Pure Air is a thriving mold remediation and indoor air quality company, and Matt has plans to expand far beyond our region.If you have any questions or if you'd like to chat, you can reach me at my contact info below.
