You’re in for an awesome episode today! I sat down with functional practitioner and Balancing Hormones Naturally podcast host Leah Brueggeman to talk fertility, hormones, and the environmental stressors most people overlook. Leah breaks down how toxins, everyday products, and nervous system stress can disrupt hormone balance in both women and men… often without obvious warning signs. We dig into the foundations of hormone health, including blood sugar balance, minerals, digestion, protein, fiber, and why “doing all the right things” doesn’t work if the body is stuck in survival mode. Leah also shares her personal health journey and practical, realistic steps to reduce endocrine disruptors in daily life, support fertility naturally, and create a healthier internal environment for conception. If fertility or hormone health has felt confusing, frustrating, or out of reach, this episode offers clarity, perspective, and actionable guidance!

Get ready for today’s episode because I got to talk with the awesome Dr. Paul Savage, founder of MD Lifespan! And we explore a treatment most people have never heard of, Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE), and why it’s becoming part of the conversation around chronic illness and environmental exposure.Many people dealing with conditions like mold toxicity, Lyme disease, autoimmune illness, and chronic inflammation are doing everything “right,” yet still struggling. One of the biggest missing pieces is often ongoing environmental toxin exposure and the body’s inability to clear that load effectively.Dr. Savage explains how environmental toxins and biotoxins accumulate in the bloodstream, how this can drive persistent symptoms, and why we’re now seeing measurable neurotoxins even in newborns. The conversation breaks down the science behind TPE, how it works to remove inflammatory and toxic components from plasma, and where it may fit into a broader healing strategy.This episode is all about understanding why some bodies stay stuck and how addressing environmental load may change the equation.

Today I sit down for an awesome episode with Dr. Haroldo Magariños, founder of DetoxU, dentist, and naturopathic doctor specializing in the oral-gut axis and microbiome health. We talked about something most people overlook: how your mouth and gut are connected and why it matters for your whole body health. We explore the oral gut connection and why issues like periodontal disease are rarely just dental problems. Dr. Magariños explains how chronic oral infections, environmental toxins, and an overburdened detox system can quietly contribute to systemic inflammation and ongoing symptoms. We talk about why focusing on individual symptoms often misses the bigger picture. We also dive into biological dentistry, the oral microbiome, and how detox pathways actually function. Dr. Magariños shares practical insights on supporting detoxification in a way that makes sense, where people often go wrong with detox approaches, and how binders fit into a broader strategy for helping the body clear toxins. If you are dealing with persistent gut issues, inflammatory symptoms, or feel like your body is not clearing things the way it should, then definitely take a listen!

Today we’re diving into something most people never think to connect with mold or their environment… heart disease. Yep the number one cause of death in the U.S. I’m joined by Dr. John Kim, a functional medicine practitioner and the founder of Kim Wellness. Dr. Kim has an incredible story. At just 33, he had a heart attack with no classic risk factors. That experience sent him down the rabbit hole of why a “healthy” guy ends up in the ER… and that journey eventually led him straight to environmental exposures, including mold toxicity. We get into the stuff your doctor probably isn’t talking about: how toxins in your home impact cholesterol production, inflammation, mitochondrial function, your immune system, and ultimately your heart. Dr. Kim breaks down how different environmental stressors stack over time and why so many people are walking around with symptoms no one is connecting back to their space. He also walks us through his six-step “Encore Method,” where he focuses on everything between lowering environmental impact, opening up detox pathways, rebuilding the microbiome, and helping the body become more resilient overall. If anything we talked about today hit home, Dr. Kim set up a really awesome #moldfinders special! He’s offering a super discounted 45-minute Discovery Call to help you start digging into the hidden root causes.

Today’s episode is an awesome one! I talk with Dr. Trish Leigh, a cognitive neuroscientist and neurofeedback expert, about how mold and other environmental toxins can affect brain function. Have you ever wondered if your brain fog, fatigue, or even sensory overload was not just in your head but connected to your environment? Dr. Leigh shares her own story of dealing with environmental exposure and explains how brain mapping and neurofeedback can help you “rewire” your brain. We get into how the nervous system reacts to toxins, why removing environmental triggers is so important, and how neurofeedback can support recovery once the source is addressed. You will also learn about the brain’s role in detox pathways, what happens when those systems get disrupted, and practical ways to help your brain and body heal. If you have ever wondered how your environment could be affecting your brain and what you can do about it, this episode is a must-listen! Want to learn more about Dr. Trish?

In this episode, I sit down with Lexie—a former We Inspect client, human physiologist, and founder of Haren Holistics—to walk through her journey with mold exposure, how it hijacked her health, and how she began rebuilding from the inside out.Lexie's gut health was dialed in. Her lifestyle was solid. She felt good.Then she moved into a “new-to-them” home and everything started changing. Her lymph nodes swelled. Her thyroid felt off. Suddenly she couldn’t tolerate foods she’d been fine with for years. And her husband developed a chronic cough out of nowhere. Then—during a weekend away—the cough vanished. Her energy came back. Her symptoms calmed. That’s when they started pulling things apart—literally. And what Lexi confirmed what her body had been trying to say all along. We also dive into: 🧂 Why detox won’t work if your mineral levels are depleted ⛰️ What high-altitude living teaches us about oxygen, healing, and recoveryThis isn’t a story about doing more.It’s about finally seeing what’s been overlooked. 🎧 Listen now and start thinking differently about what your body’s been trying to tell you.

In this episode, I sat down with Len Arcuri—founder of All In Parent and host of Autism Parenting Secrets Podcast. Check him out at: www.elevatehowyounavigate.com Len opened up about his personal journey helping his son with autism, and how it led him to dig deep into root-cause approaches that go way beyond just surface-level solutions. We talk about the stuff most people aren’t talking about—like how environmental factors (think mold, metals, and chronic inflammation) can be overlooked root causes that make symptoms worse. Len breaks down how trauma and stress play a role too—not just for kids, but for parents as well. One thing I loved: Len uses a “tree” framework to explain his process. From mindset and beliefs (the roots), to knowledge, actions, and goals (the branches), it’s all about growing strong, resilient families from the inside out.

Kathleen is a former client of ours at We Inspect, and today I'm thrilled for her to share her powerful story of uncovering hidden mold in her home—and the toll it took on her health before she even knew what was going on. What started as vague, unexplained symptoms turned into a deep dive into mold testing, attic surprises, and an emotional rollercoaster. Kathleen gets real about what it’s like to feel sick, get dismissed by doctors, and finally find the support she needed to take action—not just on her house, but on her health. Whether you're just starting to suspect mold is part of your health puzzle, or you're already deep in the remediation process, this episode is a reminder that recovery is possible—with the right guidance, the right plan, and a whole lot of determination. 00:37 Kathleen's Mold Journey Begins 01:27 The Mold Inspection Process 02:43 Health Impacts and Discoveries 13:21 Mold Testing and Initial Steps 17:43 Challenges with Mold Detection 21:53 Discovering Mold in the Attic 22:26 The Overwhelm of Waiting for Results 23:25 Consultation and Initial Findings 24:16 Prioritizing Remediation Efforts 34:26 Insurance Considerations for Mold Remediation 38:39 Finding the Right Medical Help 43:07 Final Thoughts and Gratitude IG: @MoldFinders Not sure the best way to get started?Follow these simple steps to hit the ground running… Step 1: Subscribe To Our Podcast!
