Description

This episode is brought to you by Pique Life and Branch Basics. Air quality and mold are major factors in overall health and wellness. In fact, 70% of homes in the United States contain at least one species of mold. Exposure can trigger chronic inflammation, fatigue, and brain fog, but with the right knowledge, you can take proactive steps to protect your health. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re revisiting one of our most talked-about moments with Michael Rubino to explore how and why mold is so prevalent in most homes and how it can worsen autoimmune disease. Michael breaks down the most common sources of mold people encounter and why the problem is getting worse. He also highlights the four most toxic types of mold and explains how their presence in the body can cause damage through self-preservation mechanisms. Finally, Michael explains why some people are more susceptible to the effects of mold than others. Michael Rubino is the Founder of HomeCleanse, President of the Change the Air Foundation, and host of the Never Been Sicker podcast. A council-certified Mold Remediator with a background in construction, he focuses on helping immunocompromised individuals recover from mold exposure.
