Impacting Indoor Air Quality From Mold and Mycotoxins:

Scott introduces us to Seth Jones, CEO of Hygia Living Corp, to discuss the growing issue of toxicity in homes and businesses. Seth highlights that 66 million homes and 170 million people in the U.S. are affected by ongoing water damage and mold, leading to mycotoxin production. He shares his personal experience with building-related illness in Los Angeles and introduces Hygia products: a biodegradable cleaner for mycotoxins, a chlorine dioxide gas for decontamination, and an endurance coating to prevent mold growth on surfaces. Seth emphasizes the importance of personal accountability in creating healthier living environments.

Your Co-Host Today:

Seth Jones is the CEO of Hygia Living Corp., where he and his team developed Superstratum, the first patent-pending process to remove mycotoxins from homes. His work has focused on understanding the hidden causes of Building-Related Illness (BRI) and developing products and solutions to address these issues. Before founding Hygia Living, Seth spent 15 years as an international songwriter, producer, and DJ. However, a personal experience with BRI changed everything, leading to the creation of Superstratum. Now, Seth and Hygia Living are on a mission to heal the estimated 66 million homes in the U.S. that create toxic conditions leading to BRI. With 170 million people currently living in these homes, the Hygia Living mission to heal our homes has never been more important. Seth believes that our health can only rise to the level of our environment and that a pure, toxin-free environment is essential for the healing of the body, mind, and soul.

Timestamped Show Notes:

24:40 – Disinfectants like our products are specifically designed as oxidizers to destroy other chemical contaminants. Our Cleaners are specifically designed for Mycotoxins, and we've done research as well as published a white paper from that hard work. Let's not forget the other contaminants like the VOCs aka Voltaile Organic Compounds, that are present in our environments. That new construction smell, off-gassing from paints, carpets, caulks, sealants and much more are different.

29:25 – The chemist who developed it, he had worked at Sherwin Williams for many, many years in non-toxic craft paints and things. So he had a very unique chemistry knowledge. He moved to the mountains up in Georgia, and started getting algae growing on the side of his house. So he developed a long term mold resistant coating that would stick to vinyl and give him many years of resistance performance,

40:00 – Today, a lot of kids are growing up in really toxic environments. It's affecting their cognitive development while impacting their learning disabilities. These mycotoxins have been linked to childhood autism as well. It was a blessing to be able to grow up and have access to outside and clean air.

54:15 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

Superstratum is about solving the mold mycotoxin problem, but Hygia Living is really about that legacy mission. How do we live in our environments in the right way, so that it creates the reality of positive results for our health, the reality of our environment? We're all chronically ill, and we're all out of whack with that, and there are so many things that go into that. It's not just, here's your pill, swallow it with water. No, YOU have to take personal accountability and responsibility, and you have to move into action, and you have to be committed, and you have to be devoted.

Healing is not complicated, but it's not easy, and that applies to healing the environment as well. So I always like to just encourage people to know when they start hearing these messages, it's like these alarm bells are going off because they know the problem and they don't want to face it. So that's the first thing, is just encourage people to do that. Then, on a more practical basis, what I like to tell people, lot of times people hear this and they get confused and say, well, where do I even start? How do I know? What do I do?

We talked about some of the testing, what I'd like to tell people is, it's really simple. When you travel and you go on vacation, or you leave your home for two to three days, does your energy come back? Does your brain fog go away? Does your skin clear up? Do your gut issues get a little bit better? Does your autoimmune disease not flare up as much? Then, when you go home again, did those things return? That means, almost certainly, that there's something in the building that is contributing to that disease. Now, what it is from that point you can begin the journey. Sometimes it doesn't matter, because the steps to fix that environment are the same, but that is the easiest thing that I like to tell people. It's all about getting to that AHA moment and react to yourself with wait a minute, why have I been on this health journey for six years? Why can none of my doctors seem to get me better? Why do I keep taking the same medications and I'm not getting better? Sometimes that's all it takes, and that will start the train for people to then move into action and heal their environment. That is the first step to getting your health back. It is all about getting to and living in that clean and healthy environment.
