Customer Reviews
Life saving info for any Moldy who needs help!
I don’t know where I’d be today if it weren’t for Brian and his wealth of knowledge and his willingness to bring in so many trusted sources to guide people on their moldy journey. This podcast probably saved my life!
Awesome show!
As someone who is dealing with ill effects health from a house rental with mold exposure, this show has been a light in the dark. Prior to this experience I thought toxic mold exposure was rare and that it would have to be obviously visible and extensive to cause illness, but I have quickly learned otherwise!! SO grateful for how Brian breaks down all the aspects of dealing with mold and provides such a vast wealth of information on the subject. This show has been vital to me navigating a healthier living situation for myself, as well as assisting my family with doing the same. I have been house shopping and the information I have learned here has brought much more awareness to possibly dangerous aspects of a home I had never considered before. It has definitely felt overwhelming at times, but I am overall incredibly grateful to know how to create a healthier home environment for myself moving forward.
SO HELPFUL
This podcast has been incredibly helpful. I love the combine knowledge of health from a holistic perspective with very practical information about mold remediation.
