The Mold Episode: Symptoms, Recovery & How to Protect Your Space with Ryan Blaser, CEO of Test My Home
Friday, 3 April, 2026
In this episode, Dr. Stephanie Canestraro sits down with building biology expert Ryan Blazer to unpack the hidden dangers of mold exposure and how it can impact your health, especially for those already dealing with chronic conditions like Lyme disease or long COVID. The conversation is sparked by Dr. Steph’s recent experience in the Dominican Republic, where unexpected mold exposure in a rental villa triggered intense neurological and physical symptoms, despite the space appearing “safe” at first glance.Ryan explains what actually happens when mold is disturbed, comparing it to a hornet’s nest being shaken. Once disrupted, mold releases spores, mycotoxins, and microbial gases into the air, which can quickly spread throughout a space if proper containment isn’t used. The episode breaks down the difference between mold spores and mycotoxins, and why mycotoxins are especially harmful.Dr. Steph shares the symptoms she experienced, from anxiety and neurological inflammation to muscle twitching and a heightened stress response, along with the tools she used to recover, including binders and detox support. They also discuss practical steps for handling exposure, including how to deal with contaminated clothing and furniture, and why some items may need to be discarded entirely.The conversation also touches on how certain environments, like tropical climates or poorly maintained air conditioning units, can be major sources of mold exposure, even in high-end spaces. They explore the connection between mold and EMFs, and how environmental stressors may amplify symptoms in sensitive individuals.This episode is a must-listen for anyone dealing with unexplained symptoms, building a healthier home, or wanting to better understand how your environment can impact your health.Check out Test My Home hereLet us know your thoughts on this episode hereFor any further information, feel free to email us at info@vagusclinic.com.
