64: The Hidden Epidemic: Why Mold Makes You Sick, How Inspectors Miss It + The Functional Approach | Brian Karr
Manage episode 523469770 series 2927604
Hey Functional Friends!
This week I'm sitting down with Brian Karr — co-founder of We Inspect — for a mind-blowing conversation about why conventional mold inspection is fundamentally broken. Brian shares his personal story of living in a "toxic box" that destroyed his health, and drops some serious truth bombs: most mold inspectors miss 78% of problems, dry mold can be MORE dangerous than actively growing mold, and your home environment might be the missing piece in your healing journey. We dive into why this issue keeps getting swept under the rug, how We Inspect is pioneering the "functional medicine approach" for homes, and the game-changing research they're doing with IRB-certified data. If you're dealing with chronic illness or work with complex patients, this conversation will change how you think about environmental health.
00:07:22 – Why We Inspect is like "functional medicine doctors for the house"
00:11:04 – Brian's origin story: sleeping in a toxic box and the inspector who saved his life
00:22:49 – The cigarette parallel: why mold awareness is 20 years behind the science
00:31:36 – The flower analogy: why DRY mold is more dangerous than wet mold (mind = blown)
00:35:02 – Air is the only thing that attacks THREE body systems at once
00:48:53 – The 78% false negative rate that's destroying lives (and why air samples don't work)
01:00:21 – "We are effectively functional medicine for the house" – the prioritization model explained
01:01:01 – BREAKING: IRB-certified research connecting home data to clinical outcomes
01:05:14 – How to connect mycotoxin testing to what's actually in your house
01:17:20 – Why the government won't touch this
