#moldfinders: RADIO Brian Karr

There are companies out there called “emergency response” or “water restoration” companies. These companies will come to you when you have a leak to dry it out.



The problem is mold takes just 24-48 hours to grow. So if you do the math, by the time you call the company, and they actually get the building materials dry, 48 hours almost always passes.



This means you now have a 70-80% chance of mold growth in those areas. I don’t really how how emergency response drying companies are able to get away with this without making sure there isn’t a mold problem, but it happens all the time, even though their Industry Standard (IICRC S500) specifically tells them that it shouldn’t!



Listen to hear how you can avoid this, or to help jog your memory of areas in your house that have been professionally dried, but where there may still be mold problems as a result.



Enjoy!

Ballin' on a budget? Who isn't these days?

And, financially preparing for a mold problem isn't exactly at the forefront of our minds until it slaps us in the face.

So how does anyone afford to take care of a mold problem?

This is one of the biggest questions people have.

Mold inspections and remediations can be an overwhelming process. And yes, there can high costs associated with properly addressing your mold issue.

So I wanted to outline steps to ensure it's done correctly the first time to avoid unnecessary expenses.

It’s so important to start with thorough initial testing to accurately identify problems, using a specialized approach to prioritize remediation efforts based on health impact rather than tackling all issues simultaneously.

I also wanted to talk about an awesome and unique financing option we have to enable our clients to manage costs effectively.

Lastly, I wanted to introduce to you a remediation priority method (RPM) that combines lab results and personal circumstances to create a customized, cost-effective remediation plan, focusing on significant impact issues to improve one's health and living environment.

Today, instead of offering tactical advice, I want to share personal stories of people who have overcome significant health challenges due to mold exposure.



These stories highlight the importance of persistence, targeted remediation, and the impact of environmental changes on health recovery.



From my first client Nick, who overcame extreme chemical sensitivities, to Jessica, who battled CIRS, Lyme disease, and brain cancer. Proper inspections and remediation prioritization were essential in improving health outcomes.



Despite severe health valleys, there are peaks. Improvement and recovery are possible with the right approach and resources.

Today’s episode is part 2 of my four part series with equi.life and I’m joined with the one and only Dr. Stephen Cabral!

We focus on personalized health plans developed from my unique lab results that were analyzed by Dr. Stephen Cabral.

We discuss the importance of individualizing health approaches, such as adapting diets, improving sleep patterns, and customizing exercise routines.

This is all based on insights from my testing done for heavy metals, nutrient levels, Candida, metabolic and vitamin profiles, and mycotoxins (as talked about in part 1).

The nuanced interpretation of these lab results revealed the impact of lifestyle choices and the necessity of a balanced approach to achieve optimal health through tailored nutritional guidance, supplementation, and detoxification strategies.

Getting to optimal health starts with testing.

I was able to learn so much from the samples I sent to equi.lfe and you could, too!
