Could the Air Inside Your Home Be Making You Sick?

Could the Air Inside Your Home Be Making You Sick?

In this episode of Molds, Mycotoxins, and More, I sit down with Dr. Myra Reed to explore the connection between indoor environments and chronic illness. We discuss why air tests can miss significant mold problems, how water damage and hidden moisture affect health, and why symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, sinus issues, anxiety, and gut problems may have environmental roots. Dr. Reed also shares how her own experience with mold exposure transformed the way she practices medicine. - - - - - About the Guest: Dr. Myra Reed is a board-certified internal medicine physician and certified functional medicine practitioner with more than 30 years of clinical experience. Through her concierge practice in the Florida Panhandle, she combines traditional medicine with root-cause investigation to help patients uncover environmental exposures, metabolic dysfunction, and other contributors to chronic illness. Her work focuses on personalized care, early detection, and helping patients achieve long-term health and resilience.

ERMI Explained: Why a High Score Doesn't Always Mean Mold Problems

In this episode of Molds, Mycotoxins, and More, I break down one of the most misunderstood tools in mold testing: the ERMI test. We explore how ERMI was developed, what it actually measures, and why its results can be influenced by sampling methods, dust accumulation, geography, and seasonal changes. I also explain the strengths of DNA-based testing, its limitations, and why no single mold test should be used alone when making remediation decisions. Based on the discussion, ERMI is best viewed as one piece of a larger investigation rather than a definitive answer. - - - - - About the Host: John Bohde is the co-founder of The Mold Pros and host of Molds, Mycotoxins, and More. Through his work in environmental testing, indoor air quality investigations, and remediation, John helps homeowners better understand how mold, mycotoxins, and environmental exposures may impact health. His goal is to translate complex building science concepts into practical information that empowers listeners to make informed decisions about their homes and recovery journeys. - - - - - The Mold Pros Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.themoldpros.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.themoldpros.com/] Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/themoldprofessionals/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.facebook.com/themoldprofessionals/] Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/themoldpros/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/themoldpros/] LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-mold-pros-inc/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-mold-pros-inc/] YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaUbfEQ72pUwsLcE1n-y7kw⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaUbfEQ72pUwsLcE1n-y7kw] Subscribe: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://open.spotify.com/show/2vAjnrEkebmZfbEvpdPhED?si=7469cf5b7bdd4d8b], ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mold-mycotoxins-more-podcast/id1875039535], & ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠iHeart Radio⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1333-mold-mycotoxins-more-podc-322543601/]. - - - - - PODCAST Thank you for listening.

The Critical Role of Detoxification in Mold Recovery

In this episode of Molds, Mycotoxins, and More, I speak with Dr. Eric Wood about why detoxification plays such a critical role in recovering from mold exposure and chronic illness. We discuss how mold toxins disrupt immune function, inflammation, gut health, hormones, and nervous system balance, why toxic burden can keep people stuck for years, and how supporting detox pathways may help restore the body's ability to heal. - - - - - About the Guest: Dr. Eric Wood is a naturopathic doctor with nearly two decades of experience in environmental medicine, detoxification, integrative oncology, and complex chronic illness.
