Mold exposure isn’t only a building issue. In this episode of The Mold Show, Dr. Racheal Onah joins hosts Adam Horn and Sean McGrath to discuss mycotoxins in food and drink—and how dietary exposure may add to the bigger picture for people already dealing with environmental illness. Dr. Onah (a registered naturopath and consulting physician with RealTime Labs) explains what mycotoxins are and where they may be found, including grains, coffee, spices, dried fruit, nuts, and seeds.

Mold detection dogs can be a useful tool - but knowing how to properly interpret an alert and follow up on it is just as important. Adam Horn and Sean McGrath are joined by Staci Sutton of Mold Pups and Jonathan Farrar of JF Healthy Homes for a practical conversation about mold detection dogs, canine training, mold inspections, and the importance of a proper follow up. Staci explains what makes a legitimate canine team, how her dog Gus was trained, and why the right handler matters just as much as the dog.

Air purifiers can play an important role in improving indoor air quality—but they can't fix the underlying problem if the source of contamination is still there. In this episode, Sean McGrath and Adam Horn break down why source removal comes first, the limitations of standard filtration, and why ultra-fine particles matter in homes dealing with mold, humidity, wildfire smoke, and other environmental contaminants. Using clips from Sean’s conversation with Larry Rothenberg of Agentis Air, they unpack some of the biggest misconceptions surrounding air purification and indoor air quality. They discuss why “HEPA” doesn’t always mean a system is fully contained, how rural homes can be affected by pesticides, fertilizers, wildfire smoke, and outdoor pollutants, and why bringing in more fresh air isn't always the solution—especially in humid climates like Florida.

In this episode of The Mold Show, we sit down with Ashley Drummonds—Board-Certified Integrative Health Practitioner (AADP), former Shark Tank entrepreneur, and practitioner specializing in mold toxicity, CIRS, MCAS, and histamine intolerance. Before helping others recover from mold-related illness, Ashley was the patient. Despite years in the health and wellness industry, she struggled with debilitating symptoms including fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, and unexplained weight loss. After countless appointments and being told her lab work was "normal," she eventually discovered the true source of her illness: prolonged exposure to mold in a water-damaged building. Ashley shares how that discovery transformed both her health and her career, leading her to dedicate her practice to helping others uncover overlooked environmental factors that may contribute to chronic illness. Together, we discuss the importance of investigating the home environment, why water damage should never be ignored, how mold exposure is often overlooked, and the role of proper building assessments in creating healthier indoor spaces.
