🏡 What to Know Before a Home Mold Inspection:
- Avoid free inspections – They often lead to unnecessary (and expensive) remediation offers.
- Use a certified IEP – Look for an Indoor Environmental Professional, not just a general contractor.
- Request ERMI or EMMA testing – Dust testing reveals more than air samples alone.
- Test for mycotoxins – Not just mold spores; mycotoxins are what affect your health.
- Get a detailed report – It should include spore counts, species, moisture readings, and photos.
- Separate inspection from remediation – These should be done by different companies.
- Ask for invasive testing – If there's suspected hidden mold, surface-level checks aren’t enough.
- Document everything – Especially if you're renting—keep a record of all communication.
- Watch for red flags – “It’s just mildew” or “We’ll spray with bleach and paint over it” are not acceptable responses.
- Listen to your body – Symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, or sleep issues could be mold-related.

| 0:11.6 | I need to do all these things. |
| 0:12.6 | I need to put these strategies in place and things just have not been working for you. |
| 0:16.0 | This episode might, could possibly shed some light on what may be going on because I've been dealing with |
| 0:24.8 | a biohazard in my environment which I did not realize created a cascade of declining hormones, |
| 0:34.3 | thyroid dysfunction and a bunch of other pretty horrendous side effects that due to |
| 0:40.5 | my toxic positivity, I have been covering them up and hiding them and just hoping that they would |
| 0:45.8 | go away if I could just be a little bit more positive. So I'm going to share that story with you |
| 0:49.4 | today because here we talk about hormones. We talk about health. We talk about aging powerfully. |
| 0:53.1 | We talk about real life. We talk about the things that happen in our lives and how we deal with them and yeah i've got to |

| 1:15.8 | have your walking shoes on, put them on. And if you feel like sitting down today, you've got |
| 1:19.7 | permission to just sit down. It's going to be that kind of show. Let's get to it. |
| 1:26.3 | If you've been on any of my, like the webinars I've been doing recently talking to women about their hormones, one of the things that I have said, and I've been repeating it a lot lately, is that I think a lot of us, especially as women, are just not good at knowing when we feel like crap. |
| 1:47.2 | Because if you notice that you're off, if you're like me anyways, my first thought is, yeah, |
| 1:53.4 | no, yeah, of course I'm off. I slept like crap last night. And of course I slept like crap. |
