In this episode, Michael Rubino, a leading expert in indoor air quality, joined me to discuss mold exposure and remediation which is something everyone should be aware of. This is the early days for mold awareness, in 20 years everyone will know this, no need to be behind. Michael’s the guy that helped me with my house when I figured out the link between mold and my health.

We explored how mold and poor air quality contribute to serious health issues, including brain fog and fatigue to more severe conditions like autoimmune disorders and long term neurological problems.

We spoke about modern building practices and the rise of mold-related health issues, and why potentially 80% of homes in the U.S. harbor hidden water damage and poor air quality. Michael also provided tips to improve indoor air, including testing methods, air purifiers, and how to identify mold in your home—even when it’s not visible.

We also covered Michael’s advocacy work through the Change the Air Foundation, which aims to improve public health policies and tackle mold-related issues in housing, schools, and military facilities. Enjoy!

Michael Rubino is a mold and air quality expert, environmental wellness advocate, and founder of HomeCleanse, a revolutionary company with the vision to end the worldwide health epidemic caused by poor air quality and toxic indoor environments. He is also Chair of Change the Air Foundation and Host of Never Been Sicker podcast.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
