405: The Silent Killer: Mold Horror Stories and How to Detox Your Body and Your Home After Mold Exposure
01/21/23 • 58 min
Black mold, also known as Stachybotrys chartarum, is a type of fungus that can grow in damp or humid environments. It is commonly found in homes, and can have serious health effects on those who are exposed to it.
Exposure to black mold can cause a wide range of symptoms, including allergic reactions, respiratory problems, headaches, cold and flu-like symptoms and so much more. People who have a weak immune system, such as children, the elderly, and those with chronic health conditions, are particularly at risk. Long-term exposure to black mold can even lead to serious conditions such as neurological damage and cancer.
To detox your body after exposure to black mold, it is important to see a functional medicine practitioner and/or allergist. They will recommend a specific detox protocol based on your body to bring you back into balance. Additionally, it is important to focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including eating a balanced diet, getting enough sleep, and reducing stress.
When it comes to mold remediation in your home, it is essential not just to have the mold cleaned up and removed, but also to address the source of the problem. This means finding and fixing any leaks, dampness, or other sources of moisture that may be contributing to the growth of black mold. It is also important to have professionals clean and disinfect any areas where mold is present, and to properly ventilate your home to reduce humidity levels.
It is also necessary to bring in a professional mold remediation company to address a severe mold infestation. They will have the expertise and equipment necessary to safely remove mold and prevent its return.
It is important to note that black mold should not be taken lightly. Take the necessary steps to remove it and keep it from coming back. It is crucial to take the necessary precautions and to take care of your health and well-being!
In this episode, Laura Powers and Allison Melody share their mold exposure stories and what they are doing to detox their homes, offices and bodies and prevent future exposure.

404: Chinese Medicine Secrets: Ancient Healing Remedies, Food As Medicine, and Eating Right For Your Body with Juli Kramer
What do you do when you go to your doctor for help with a chronic condition and he says microwaving your body is your own option to feel better? In my opinion you get the f**k out. That's exactly what today's guest Juli Kramer did and luckily - lived to tell about it!
During her early 40s, Juli Kramer experienced severe gynecological problems with debilitating physical symptoms. Her doctor's solution was microwave treatment. Juli asked, “But aren't my symptoms telling me something?”
Her doctor’s reply shocked her.
Juli was told her symptoms didn't matter, and that the microwave treatment would eliminate them. This made no sense to her. (This is a girl who doesn't even microwave her food, much less her body!)
Juli realized that her body was desperately trying to tell her that something was seriously wrong. But, all her doctor cared about was treating the symptoms instead of getting to the root cause of the problem and resolving that.
She knew there must be a better way and she set out to find it.
Little did she know, the answers would be found in the ancient secrets of chinese medicine.
Today, Dr. Juli Kramer is a certified qi gong, meditation, and TCM beauty secrets instructor. She holds a diploma in Chinese Medicine Nutritional Therapy and multiple certificates in Chinese medicine. Juli also has a Ph.D. in Curriculum and Counseling Psychology.
Her goal is to help you feel happier, look better and live longer by sharing with you the health benefits of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

406: Act As If: How to Stop Surviving and Start Thriving Through Habits, Thoughts, & Meditation with Katie Krimitsos
Still suffering from the holiday blues? Is anxiety and depression holding you back from living the life of your dreams?
What if a simple age-old practice could change everything? That's right, we're talking about meditation. Specifically, The Women's Meditation Network and how Katie Krimitsos created a meditation empire that can help you heal - emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
Anxiety and depression are two of the most widespread mental health issues faced by people today. They can be overwhelming and make it difficult to live a happy and fulfilling life. Fortunately, meditation is an ancient practice that can help you overcome these challenges and promote overall health and wellbeing.
The history of meditation dates back thousands of years, with its roots in ancient India. Over time, it has been adopted by different cultures and religions, each adapting it in their own unique way. Today, meditation is experiencing a resurgence in popularity, and there are numerous forms of meditation available, including mindfulness meditation, loving-kindness meditation, and body scan meditation.
Meditation has been scientifically proven to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. By slowing down the activity of the mind and body, meditation can help reduce stress and anxiety, while also increasing feelings of happiness and wellbeing. These positive effects can counteract the negative effects of depression and lead to improved mental health.
In addition to its mental health benefits, meditation has also been shown to have positive effects on physical health. It can help reduce pain, lower blood pressure, improve heart health, and enhance sleep. By promoting physical and mental wellness, meditation can help individuals live healthier lives.
Katie Krimitsos is a leading advocate for meditation and its many benefits. Through her podcasts, Katie provides women with resources and guidance to help them incorporate meditation into their daily routines. Katie encourages people to "act as if" they already have what they want to manifest in their lives, and helps them not just survive, but thrive in all areas of their lives.
