You’re Not Crazy, Toxic Mold Exposure Is Poisoning Your Brain - Brian Karr : 1066

The Human Upgrade: Biohacking for Longevity & Performance

Episode • Jun 29, 2023 • 1h 9m

If you have all sorts of unexplained health problems in your home, where you work, or where you go to school, symptoms can be very different. One person's gaining fat, another person's always tired, other people have dark circles, emotional irregularity, sudden weight gain, onset of allergies that no one can explain, on and on.

In the episode today, you learn the smarter, not harder, ways to deal with toxic mold exposure in your environment from one of the world’s leading experts on the matter.

Our guest is Brian Karr. He's a second-generation indoor environmental consultant and he works with hypersensitive individuals with complex medical conditions. He's the co-founder of We Inspect, an environmental testing company which works to help people understand mold, mycotoxins, and even bacterial toxins that exist in your homes. He takes time to explain what's (usually) there, why it’s important—even down to the genetic level—and what it's doing to you.

Go back to the definition of biohacking… The art and science of changing the environment around you and inside of you so that you have full control of your own biology. If your environment is moldy and has biotoxins, maybe you don't have control of your biology—the mold does.

Brian's become a go-to guy for medical doctors across the country, helping more than 5,000 people as sensitive as I used to be to create healthier living environments. You're going to learn a lot in this episode, even if you're saying… Well, I don't have a mold problem. You'd be very surprised.
