Healing The Source Podcast

What if your home is the reason you’re not healing? In this episode of the Healing The Source Podcast, I’m joined by Brian Karr, co-founder of We Inspect and one of the nation’s leading experts on mold inspection and environmental toxins. Brian breaks down the often-overlooked role that mold plays in chronic illness—from anxiety and fatigue to brain fog, asthma, and even behavioral issues in kids. We talk about what conventional inspectors miss, how mold can hide in brand-new homes, why your HVAC might be spreading more than just cool air, and how to actually know if your remediation worked. This episode is for anyone who’s ever had “mystery symptoms” that doctors couldn’t explain, for families trying to keep their kids healthy, and for anyone who just wants to make sure their home is a place of healing—not harm. We cover: * Neurological symptoms of mold exposure * Why mold makes some people sick and not others * Early signs of hidden mold in the home * Why air testing often fails * What to do if your landlord ignores the mold * Fridge water, dust, and other unexpected sources * How to test yourself for mold exposure * The truth about bleach, duct cleaning, and air purifiers * And how to finally stop living in fear after remediation Resources: This episode is sponsored by one of my favorite brands, Puori! Shop Puori grass-fed protein powder + supplements [http://puori.com/HEALINGTHESOURCE] (Clean Label Certified and third-party tested!!!) discount code: HEALINGTHESOURCE Follow the host, Claudia, on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/healingthesource], check out HealingTheSource.co [https://www.healingthesource.co/] & Elham's Liquid Gold [https://www.elhamsliquidgold.com] 100% Organic Castor Oil, and enjoy her deep-dives on Substack [https://healingthesource.substack.com/] Clean Your Moldy Stuff: www.CleanMyMoldyStuff.com [http://www.cleanmymoldystuff.com/] Remediation Mistakes: www.RemediationMistakes.com [http://www.remediationmistakes.com/] Follow Brian on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/moldfinders/] to learn more Schedule a free call with their team to talk through their situation more and see how we can help best: http://form.yesweinspect.com/Healing-the-Source-Podcast [http://form.yesweinspect.com/Healing-the-Source-Podcast]

What if your clothes could nourish the soil instead of polluting it? What if fashion wasn’t just sustainable, but regenerative? In this episode of Healing The Source Podcast, I’m joined by Kelly Vittengl, co-founder of COED Collective [https://coedcollective.com], a revolutionary clothing brand redefining fashion from the ground up—literally. COED crafts timeless, genderless pieces from Regenerative Organic Certified Pima cotton, grown and sewn entirely in the U.S. Every garment is fully compostable, dyed with plants, and designed to return to the earth. We explore what it means to build a brand with soul—one that honors farmers, protects soil, and supports your body. Kelly opens up about her own healing journey, her work with Zach Bush and Farmers Footprint, and why regenerative practices are essential not just for the planet, but for our personal health too. Whether you care about what’s touching your skin, how your clothes are made, or the ripple effect of your choices, this conversation will shift your relationship with fashion, healing, and legacy. In this episode, we explore: * Why "sustainable" isn’t enough anymore * The story behind COED Collective and its compostable clothing * Regenerative farming vs. organic farming * How synthetic fabrics affect your energy field * A peek into Kelly’s health journey: panic disorder, OCD, leaky gut & glyphosate * What does it mean to “mother” yourself and the earth * The power of intentional design, plant dyes, and small-batch clothing Resources: Follow the host, Claudia, on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/healingthesource] and check out HealingTheSource.co [https://www.healingthesource.co/] Follow Kelly Vittengl on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/kellyvittengl/] Shop COED Collective [https://coedcollective.com/] and check them out on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/coedcollective]

After seeking ways to manage her anxiety and stress, Erika Polsinelli discovered Kundalini meditation—and everything changed. Just three minutes of breathwork brought peace she hadn’t felt in years. That moment became the catalyst for everything she does now. In this heart-opening episode, Erika shares her journey from being a New York schoolteacher to becoming a spiritual entrepreneur, creating a global meditation community through her app Evolve by Erika and recently opening THE SPACE—a sanctuary for embodied healing and conscious creation. We explore: • What stops people from actually doing what they know helps • How to regulate your nervous system while evolving spiritually • Why detachment is essential to manifestation • How breathwork can unlock frozen emotions and bring us back into alignment • The energetic power of food, nature, and frequency in the healing process • Her own evolution from veganism to intuitive eating If you’ve ever felt stuck in your head, disconnected from your body, or unsure how to trust the unseen—you’ll want to listen all the way through.

You don’t need more stimulants. You need better blood flow. In this episode, I’m joined by Ilan Sobel, CEO of BioHarvest Sciences, to talk about the future of plant-based medicine—and how VINIA®, their flagship red grape cell product, is helping people unlock what they call blood flow energy. VINIA works by increasing nitric oxide (NO) and reducing Endothelin-1 (ET-1)—a protein that causes blood vessels to constrict. The result? Relaxed arteries, improved circulation, and more oxygen and nutrients delivered to your cells. Backed by clinical trials, VINIA helps support: • Physical energy and endurance • Sharper mental alertness • Faster cellular detox • Better cardiovascular performance We discuss: 🍇 The science behind piceid resveratrol—and why it's superior to traditional forms 🧬 How BioHarvest grows only the bioactive plant cells using Botanical Synthesis 🩸 Why blood flow is foundational to hormone health, detox, cognition, and longevity ☕ How their VINIA decaf coffee boosts mental clarity without caffeine 🌍 How this clean biotech approach is scaling plant medicine sustainably—without soil, pesticides, or GMOs Whether you’re navigating chronic fatigue, hormonal shifts, or just looking for smarter solutions that actually work, this episode is packed with insight into the future of functional, preventative medicine.

I’m joined by Krista Williams, co-host of the wildly successful Almost 30 podcast and co-author of the brand-new book Almost 30: A Definitive Guide to a Life You Love for the Next Decade and Beyond. Krista and her co-host Lindsey Simcik created the guide they wished they had during the confusing, transformative transition from their late 20s into their 30s—a time full of cosmic shake-ups, friendship shifts, body image reckoning, and purpose redefinition. This conversation goes deep into the heart of that transition. Krista opens up about how her relationship with her body has evolved after years of being steeped in diet culture and how turning 30 brought her a completely new lens on friendship, self-worth, and intuitive living. We talk about what it means to truly feel safe in your body, how to let go of relationships with compassion, and why growing older can be a deeply spiritual initiation—if you let it be. We explore: * The emotional shifts that come with turning 30 * Letting go of friendships that no longer align—and the grief that comes with it * How to attract relationships that reflect your growth * Healing from diet culture and embracing a softer, intuitive approach to wellness * Rebuilding a sense of safety in your body after years of disconnection * Self-worth, control, and learning to trust your body again * Creating identity outside of old stories, labels, or roles * Why the Saturn Return is more than an astrology trend—it’s a spiritual doorway Whether you're navigating a friendship breakup, trying to heal your relationship with food, or simply wondering who you're becoming—this episode will meet you exactly where you are.
