Seth emphasizes the importance of personal accountability in creating healthier living environments. Your Co-Host Today:Seth Jones is the CEO of Hygia Living Corp., where he and his team developed Superstratum, the first patent-pending process to remove mycotoxins from homes. His work has focused on understanding the hidden causes of Building-Related Illness (BRI) and developing products and solutions to address these issues. Before founding Hygia Living, Seth spent 15 years as an international songwriter, producer, and DJ.

Our Cleaners are specifically designed for Mycotoxins, and we've done research as well as published a white paper from that hard work. Let's not forget the other contaminants like the VOCs aka Voltaile Organic Compounds, that are present in our environments. That new construction smell, off-gassing from paints, carpets, caulks, sealants and much more are different. 29:25 – The chemist who developed it, he had worked at Sherwin Williams for many, many years in non-toxic craft paints and things. So he had a very unique chemistry knowledge. He moved to the mountains up in Georgia, and started getting algae growing on the side of his house. So he developed a long term mold resistant coating that would stick to vinyl and give him many years of resistance performance, 40:00 – Today, a lot of kids are growing up in really toxic environments. It's affecting their cognitive development while impacting their learning disabilities. These mycotoxins have been linked to childhood autism as well.

The reason for that is because, when you're doing the peptides, they aren't regulated, so you don't know. It could be a guy in a bathtub in China with his cat, and they're making them, and you're pumping that into your body hoping it's going to make a difference. 28:40 – So without sounding too sarcastic with it, so in that same vein, if you say people want to be healthy, people that we talked about asking like the GLP compound of drugs, or the GLP weight loss drugs, people healthy will...
