Identifying Mold and Water Damage in Your Home

In this episode, Michael Rubino, a leading expert in indoor air quality, joined me to discuss mold exposure and remediation which is something everyone should be aware of. This is the early days for mold awareness, in 20 years everyone will know this, no need to be behind. Michael’s the guy that helped me with my house when I figured out the link between mold and my health.

We explored how mold and poor air quality contribute to serious health issues, including brain fog and fatigue to more severe conditions like autoimmune disorders and long term neurological problems.

We spoke about modern building practices and the rise of mold-related health issues, and why potentially 80% of homes in the U.S. harbor hidden water damage and poor air quality. Michael also provided tips to improve indoor air, including testing methods, air purifiers, and how to identify mold in your home—even when it’s not visible.

We also covered Michael’s advocacy work through the Change the Air Foundation, which aims to improve public health policies and tackle mold-related issues in housing, schools, and military facilities. Enjoy!
