    Is Your House Making You Sick? Hidden Mold Explained | The Fourth Phase Podcast Ep 18 Pt 1

    Is your home making you sick? Brain fog, fatigue, headaches, a cough that won't quit. Building biologist Jonathan Farrar of JF Healthy Homes says the problem might not be you. It might be your house. In Part 1, retired Navy SEAL JJ Parma and Kristel Parma sit down with Jonathan, who got seriously ill from mold exposure and rebuilt his life around finding the hidden toxins most inspections miss. He breaks down the Shoemaker Protocol and CIRS (chronic inflammatory response syndrome), the health crash that started when solar panels went up at his parents' house, the Tennessee home that made his own family sick, assessing Jenny McCarthy's home, and where mold actually hides: attics, crawl spaces, HVAC, and wall cavities you'll never see. Part 2 drops next week: EMF, your bedroom, light, and your water.

    What if Southern California's sewage crisis wasn't inevitable? What if it was already fixed... and then everything changed?

    The Hidden Danger Of Artificial Light On Your Health | The Fourth Phase Podcast Ep 13

    Tonight, while you sleep, your body is supposed to produce a hormone that fights cancer, regulates your metabolism, and repairs everything that broke down during the day. It's called melatonin.
