This week we've got a riveting two-part special coming your way, and trust us—you won't want to miss this one. In Part 1 of “Is Mold Making You Sick?” I am sitting down with Jason Earle, founder, and CEO of GOT MOLD? Jason shares his compelling story, starting from his tough childhood—losing his mother, battling asthma, and unknowingly enduring the silent enemy lurking in his home: mold.

As Jason worked his way to Wall Street as a Stock Broker, he thought he was living the dream. But deep down, he felt unfulfilled. His life took a life-changing turn when he realized that his chronic health issues were linked to the mold-infested home he grew up in. This revelation led him to leave Wall Street behind and dive into the world of the healthy home business. Now, as the CEO of GOT MOLD?, Jason is on a mission to educate and help people tackle this hidden threat.

It's all connected to epigenetics, too. We explore how environmental factors like mold exposure can actually flip the switches on our genes, impacting our health in more ways than you'd think. From improving air quality and reducing chemical threats to the importance of understanding your own genetic propensities, Jason breaks it all down for us.

Whether you're dealing with mysterious health issues or just want to understand more about how your living environment affects your wellbeing, this episode is a must-listen. 

In this episode:

• Jason's inspiring career switch from Wall Street to mold remediation
• How mold exposure can influence genetic expression (epigenetics)
• Tips and tricks for reducing your exposure to mold and harmful chemicals
• The significance of air quality, food, and your overall environment on health
• The pitfalls of current mold testing methods and how to navigate them

Stay tuned for Part 2 next week where Jason and I continue the conversation.

Ever tried a cold plunge, grounding mat, some trendy diet or “expert recommended” biohacking tool, only to feel worse, not better? In this podcast I welcome back Dr. Cam McDonald, CEO of Precision Health Alliance and a leading voice in personalized health, to talk about why all “biohacks” aren’t magic bullets for everyone. 

We dig into common claims around fasting, extreme workouts, cold plunging and more, revealing how your unique body type and daily environment actually shape what really works for you.

Get ready to swap guesswork for clear, science-based strategies that align with your genetic tendencies, stress levels, and true lifestyle needs. Dr. Cam’s insights will help you tune out one-size-fits-all noise and understand how to truly optimize your health, on your own terms. If you’re tired of jumping on every bandwagon and want real, lasting results, this episode is a must-listen.

In This Episode:

• Cold Plunge Reality Check: Why a “shock to the system” can help some but leave others drained
• Grounding Mats & Individual Rhythms: How reconnecting with the earth can be powerful or disruptive based on your body’s frequency
• Intermittent Fasting & Meal Timing: Why “eat less often” works for certain body types but backfires for others
• Why 5AM Club Isn’t Universal: The real circadian rhythms behind early risers vs. night owls
• Real-Life Personalization: The difference between blanket “health hacks” and strategies tailored to your own stress levels, genetics, and environment

Sometimes, the most transformative act is knowing when to let go. In this powerful episode, I sit down with Kate King—returning for the third time on the podcast to share even deeper insights—about the importance of leaving relationships that drain your energy and stunt your growth.

Kate reminds us that every relationship should be a source of healing, nourishment, and support. When a relationship takes more from you than it gives, it can dim your vitality and leave you feeling less alive. Together, we chat about the art of recognizing when a bond isn’t serving your well-being, whether it’s harming you emotionally, physically, or spiritually, and how to ask the right questions to make that decision.

In our conversation, you'll learn:

• The True Role of Relationships: Discover why healthy connections should empower you, allowing you to feel both secure and free.
• Identifying Draining Dynamics: Learn the red flags that indicate a relationship may be more destructive than supportive.
• Strategic Self-Inquiry: Find out which questions to ask yourself that can guide you toward making choices that honor your personal growth.
• Pathways to Healing: Get practical tips for moving on from toxic bonds and building relationships that truly uplift your spirit.

Kate’s blend of personal experience and professional expertise offers a roadmap to reclaiming your life. If you’re ready to leave behind relationships that hold you back and embrace connections that foster your true potential, this episode is a must-listen.
