About this episode
303: In today’s episode, Hector and I share everything we’ve learned about creating a healthier home after discovering toxic mold in our rental property. We discuss the inspections, testing, and home upgrades that helped us feel more confident in our new space, along with our approach to air quality, water filtration, non-toxic mattresses, bedding, baby products, and more. We also explore why modern homes may be more prone to mold, the building materials we're paying attention to, and how to make healthier choices at home without becoming overwhelmed by wellness trends.
Topics Discussed:
→ How can mold impact your health?
→ What are the biggest hidden toxins in the home?
→ How do you improve indoor air and water quality?
→ Which healthy home upgrades are actually worth it?
→ Why are modern homes more prone to mold and moisture issues?
→ What should you know about non-toxic baby products?
→ What building materials create a healthier home?
