How Hidden Mold May Be Undermining Your Health

Brian Karr Episode 207

If you’ve ever wondered if your fatigue, brain fog, or lingering inflammation might have a hidden root cause (and one that is under your roof)…this is the episode for you.

Brian Karr is a second-generation indoor environmental consultant and a national authority on mold, mycotoxins, and hidden indoor pathogens. He’s the co-founder of We Inspect and The Dust Test. He has helped thousands of hypersensitive individuals—including many navigating breast cancer and complex chronic illness—create safer, healthier homes.

You have tested your body, but now it may be time to test your home, where you spend most of your time. Tune in to learn practical things about how your genes may respond to mold and how to spot subtle signs of water damage that most people (and inspectors) ignore—and what to do about it.

Mold impacts about 70% of the population, so if you “have tried everything and still feel awful,” removing the mold may be what you need to do. To get started, check out these FREE resources:

Here are some highlights from this Podcast:

  • Brian Karr shares his personal journey into mold remediation, revealing how a hidden mold problem in his own apartment sparked health issues like skin problems and brain fog. This experience led him to become a second-generation expert in indoor environmental consulting.

  • Most mold problems are hidden, and standard testing often fails to detect them. Brian explains that 78% of air tests come back falsely negative, highlighting why many people suffer unknowingly in contaminated environments. He discusses subtle visual clues that can indicate hidden mold and water damage.

  • Mold exposure impacts health differently based on genetics, past exposures, and current health status. Brian outlines why some people in a household may experience severe symptoms while others feel fine, and how mold toxicity can affect multiple systems in the body, leading to chronic inflammation.

  • Brian breaks down why a proper mold inspection is critical, especially for those with chronic illness or cancer. He shares how typical inspections often miss hidden issues and why his team at We Inspect uses a medical-style, team-based approach to thoroughly assess a home.

  • Learn why testing your home for mold should come before testing your body. Brian explains that environmental testing offers more reliable data than body tests, which can produce false negatives due to detox issues or timing, and why removing the source of exposure is the most critical first step for healing.
