I discovered the hard way about the disaster of mold when I moved to Austin and had a water leak in our new home. The ordeal of removing extensive mold was eye-opening, to say the least. So the bad news is that most homes harbor some level of mold that can worsen asthma and allergies, disrupt your sleep, drain your energy, and cause massive brain fog, amongst other problems. And even if you can't see the mold, airborne levels in your home can be alarmingly high. But I've also got some good news for you. You can filter your air to stop mold before it starts affecting you. And when it comes to mold, an ounce of prevention beats a ton of remediation, and Jasper air purifiers are designed for just that purpose. With their advanced sensors, Jasper activates as soon as it detects airborne contaminants. Then its three-stage filter system captures everything from mold to pet dander, VOCs, and toxins from household products. The coolest thing is it does all that while being whisper quiet. So visit Jasper.co now through May 2024 and use the code LUC for an exclusive $200 discount on your Jasper. That's J-A-S-P-R.co. And for a deep dive into how Jasper works, make sure to check out the lifestyleist episode 527 and then take the quiz on their site to customize your home air protection. Again, that's Jasper.co. And don't forget to use that code LUC to save $200
