The Healthy Skin Show 208: Surprising Sources Of Mold You Haven't Thought Of w/ Brian Karr
Mold and mycotoxins can have a huge impact on your health if left unchecked. You may know of the common sources of mold (like damp basements), but mold can also be found in really unexpected places.
My guest today is Brian Karr, a second generation indoor environmental consultant who specializes in working with hypersensitive individuals with complex medical conditions.
He helps them to understand if mold, mycotoxins, or other indoor pathogens exist in their homes (which may be contributing to their health conditions), and how to remedy those issues.
Brian has become a go-to mold and biotoxin resource for many medical practitioners across the country, and has helped over 3,000 hypersensitive individuals nationwide to create healthier living environments that have allowed their doctors to help them get better.
Join us as we discuss some sources of mold that may surprise you!

Quotes

“The big secret really to finding hidden mold in your house is to not actually look for mold. It's to understand that mold is created as a result of water being somewhere…The key is really to look for signs of water damage in your home because mold is microscopic.” [6:28]
