Ep 628 - Mold, Mycotoxins & Your Home: How to Find Hidden Problems and Remediate Them with Jason Richards
Episode 628
Wednesday, 9 September, 2026
Could your home be making you sick? In this episode of the Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause sits down with Jason Richards, founder and owner of Pure Health Mold Inspections, to talk about one of the most frustrating and overlooked contributors to chronic health issues: mold exposure in the home. Dr. Jannine knows this topic personally. After dealing with mold issues in two different homes and helping clients navigate suspected mold exposure, she understands how difficult it can be to get clear answers. Many people experience symptoms that seem impossible to explain, only to be told that their home is fine after standard air testing comes back negative. But according to Jason, air testing alone may not tell the whole story. Together, Dr. Jannine and Jason dive into what comprehensive mold testing should look like, why surface testing can be so important, how mold and mycotoxins can remain in the home even after visible mold is gone, and why simply killing mold isn't enough. They also discuss the structural and environmental issues that can contribute to recurring mold problems, including humidity, poor ventilation, crawl spaces, attics, HVAC systems, water drainage, and tightly sealed homes. If you've been dealing with unexplained symptoms, suspect your home may have a mold problem, or have been told your testing is negative despite ongoing concerns, this episode will help you better understand what to look for and what questions to ask. In This Episode, You'll Learn: The mold testing challenges and how ERMI and PCR-based testing can help identify mold species Why standard air testing isn't enough & what a comprehensive mold inspection looks like What mycotoxins are and why removing mold is different from simply killing it Why small mold fragments and contamination can remain after remediation The structural issues and ventilation that commonly contribute to mold growth How humidity, crawl spaces, attics, plumbing leaks, and HVAC systems can become problem areas What an ERV system is and how it can improve indoor air exchange Connect with Jason Richards Jason Richards is the founder and owner of Pure Health Mold Inspections.
