    The Lowest of the Lows to the Highest of the Highs - PJ Harlow, Holistic Home Consultant

    It's been a while since I've been in front of the microphone and recorded an episode of the show. I'm really excited to get back into it now that the cooler months have come to us. Summer is over, unfortunately, at least for us here in the upper Midwest. But I want to bring to you another wonderful interview with a friend of mine in the industry. You may know her, I'm sure most of you do.PJ Harlow. PJ is a holistic indoor environmental consultant. She really got into this because of her own unbelievably tragic situation in her own space. And it's funny how so many folks that I talked to kind of came into this because of that. This is not something that you study in school. You don't go to college and say, I'm going to be a mold inspector. It's usually something that happens in your house, something that triggers serious health concerns with family. And so PJ is going to talk to us today about how this came about in her household and why she decided that she needed to do something about this for others and gives us a great group of tips and tricks, things to look for, items that she can help with. And like I say, I really consider her a friend, a colleague in this space, and I am sure you're going to enjoy our conversation.   PJ Harlow's Guides can be found here

    High Performance Athlete Building High Performance, Healthy Homes

    On today's episode, I'm talking with Brian Johnson, the founder and CEO of Senergy 360. Senergy 360 is a pioneer in the building science and healthy home construction space. Brian got started in the industry as a lumber grader over 20 years ago, working for a large lumber producer, and he got to see firsthand what happens with mold on lumber and how we build our homes and what happens from a health standpoint to those exposed to mold and other building toxins. Brian is also a world-class athlete, Iron Man triathlete…really top 1% in that program around the world.  Brian is a perfect person to talk to us about healthy homes, about the exposure of toxins in the home, and now how do we build our homes to eliminate these toxins. Brian and his team have put together a comprehensive buyers guide for new building and remodeling materials, available through the Green Design Center.  CLICK HERE.

    Why don't we celebrate all the wins, large or small?

    I went live the other day in response to a consulting call to speak out to the industry about the ridiculous need for perfection. What started out as a quick 30 second live hit turned into 20 minutes of pleading to medical professionals to tone down the fear mongering and allow people to celebrate the small wins. In my 30+ year career, I've helped over 30,000 chemically sensitive and mold damaged individuals to put their homes and their lives back together.  With that experience, I can tell you without a doubt that about 10% of my clients would be considered extremely health compromised.  Out of that small group, very few have the financial wherewithal to be able to afford to do whatever it takes to make their home as perfect as possible.  Thats about 1% in 30 years.  So this rant is really for the 99% of folks who aren't in that situation.  Its also for the building professionals who are promoting high-priced "fixes" as well as the medical professionals who are telling their patients that they need a perfect environment to heal in.   Mold damaged homes and chemical intolerances are only getting worse and pushing this "all or nothing" attitude is eliminating hope and prolonging the path to healing. We need a serious conversation about this, my friends and there are many people much smarter than I that should be involved.  But I guess I'll do what Ive done my entire career and start sounding the alarm, hoping that these smart folks hear it and engage.   Please leave your comments!!

    Medically Important Mold Remediation (MIR) for Chemically Sensitive Clients

    On today's episode, I'm talking with Ryan Riedy, president of Square One Restorations in Arizona. Ryan is a mold, asbestos remediation contractor, fire and water damage cleanup contractor. But Ryan actually got his start in doing remodeling, house flips, investment properties, an interesting story.  Ryan actually developed chronic inflammatory response syndrome himself from everything he's been exposed to in his career. And so we have a great conversation today talking about traditional mold remediation projects and what is now called MIR, medically important remediation specifically for people who have extreme chronic health issues and how the processes are different between just traditional mold remediation and then the medically important remediation. So I think we'll enjoy today's conversation. It's very eyeopening. It's a lot to take in, a lot to learn, but I think you'll very much appreciate it. Thanks for joining. Now, before you watch the video, please hit the like button and subscribe to this channel to make sure you can see every episode of the Non-Toxic Environment Show as it comes out.   Learn all about MIR at Ryan's website: https://squareonerestore.com/medically-important-remediation/

    Uncovering and Healing from the Effects of Mold Toxicity

    Welcome back to season 10 of the NTE Live show.  I spent about five days at a conference in Arizona called CIRSx/Surviving Mold. CIRS stands for Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome. This is the annual conference for both medical professionals, industry professionals, as well as those suffering from CIRS themselves, to learn all about the latest research and techniques into healing from CIRS, as well as preventing it to begin with. So we talked a lot about building materials, remodeling projects, ways to avoid water and mold in homes. At this conference, I met a number of just amazingly intelligent people who know so much about this topic, so I wanted to share a lot of these stories here on the show.  The next several episodes of this show, you're going to be hearing from some of these wonderful people that I met down there. On today's show, I'm talking to Ariana Thacker, who started a company called Mold Co.  Mold Co provides the prescriptions for the Shoemaker protocol directly to your door, so you don't have to have a Shoemaker trained MD directly in your area to be able to receive the prescriptions necessary for healing. And so this is why it's so exciting, it's that they're bringing this directly to you instead of you having to drive sometimes hundreds miles or longer to get to that physician. Ariana has a great story of how she developed this is and extremely knowledgeable on the subject. We had a great conversation about it and what it's doing for folks.     Access the MoldCo Lab Portal here Enter the code NTELIVE150 for $150 off the MoldCo complete lab panel Backed by 30+ years of research, our lab panels reveal the patterns Mold Toxicity leaves behind.

    Spray Foam Insulation NIGHTMARE!

    I'm sure you are going to appreciate the conversation that I'm having with Brantley May with Enviro Health. Brantley and I have known each other for several years. We've worked together on projects and he refers to a lot of the information I talk about. I certainly refer clients to Brantley and his services. Brantley is a building scientist. He's an indoor environmental professional. He's not just a mold inspector, but Brantley truly is somebody who can help with the built environment, the health of the occupants, and of course the energy efficiency and sustainability of the space. He's based down in Florida, but I know he works a large area of the country. I'm having Brantley on the show today, not only to talk about him and his business, but he's got a very interesting nightmare of a project that we'll be discussing.     Brantley reached out to me recently wanting to know what to do next, and this is going to probably hit close to home for a lot of you. I've been talking about the dangers of spray foam insulation for years. The building industry is starting to really adopt because spray foam because it heals a lot of the wounds of construction…not so good lumber, poor building practices…spray foam fills in all those little gaps to make sure that our homes are more energy efficient. Here are the downside though… it's not a safe product. I've always known it to be very dangerous, but what Brantley is experiencing, this is something that has happened to other clients before, but I think it's the first time it's actually happened to somebody who is an actual building scientist himself, and the absolute horrible situation is own home. So I think you're going to really appreciate today's conversation. Hopefully you'll make a better decision if you're in the middle of a project on your own to maybe go in a different direction, and that's really the goal of this episode. So please listen and pass along to your family, friends, you're building community members. Everybody needs to hear this one. https://www.envirohealth.co

    Chronic Obesity and the Built Environment

    This week's episode deals with the epidemic of obesity in our society, and not just from the foods we eat, but also the buildings that we surround ourselves with, the homes we live in. Dr. Stewart Lonky is a pioneer in the field of excess weight and the health effects that we are experiencing.  We talk a lot about our diet and sedentary lifestyle, but really the discussion goes into this avenue of epigenetics and what are called obesogens, which are chemicals used in our built environment that actually can cause weight retention, weight gain, and these are passed on to the next, at least two to three generations.   I think you'll really enjoy today's conversation. I want you to go to his website and sign up for his weekly newsletter and get a copy of his latest book called Outsmarting Obesity.  Also, be on the lookout for a new book he's working on specifically regarding our built environment, the Obesogens that are being released into the air, which we are now breathing in, absorbing into our bodies. And this is how it really ties into the healthy home. So please enjoy today's show.   Sign up for his weekly newsletter!  DrLonky.com

    What good does it do to save the environment if we are still poisoning the occupants?

    I know I'm getting old when I start "looking back" at my career and remembering the old days.  That said, one of the most asked questions I get is "how did you ever get in this business" so I thought Id finally address that.   This episode is my story about starting Green Design Center and Non Toxic Environments.  Who were the pioneers in the healthy home space? Why are our homes getting so dangerous? Where do I go for real information and an real education?  I cover this all, straight from my heart.  Thank you for following my show!
