📍 Please don’t forget to follow my NEW Instagram account at https://www.instagram.com/longevitywithnat/Most people think that if they can just find the right mold test, they'll finally have their answer. But what if that's exactly what's keeping them stuck?In this episode, I'm joined once again by mold investigator and building health expert Jason Earle, and we challenge some of the biggest assumptions surrounding mold illness. We unpack why modern homes may be working against our health, why the building itself should be viewed as part of your wellness ecosystem, and why one test can never tell the whole story.If you've been dealing with unexplained symptoms, wondering whether your home could be part of the equation, or simply want to create a healthier environment for yourself and your family, this conversation will completely change the way you think about the place you call home.Visit https://www.gotmold.com/ and use the code Nat10.Dust test link: https://dusttest.gotmold.com/E-Book - https://www.gotmold.com/ebook-landing-page/Article he mentioned: https://www.gotmold.com/testing-for-mold-avoid-ermi/?srsltid=AfmBOor_h1U3x5pZnPnHZcC6V4ecKUSnXczMNBtybtaVQrSfkfIHfBPEEpisode Timestamps:Introduction: Why Most Mold Tests Miss the Real Problem ... 00:00:00Why Modern Homes Can Become Health Hazards ... 00:13:00How Modern Construction Created Health Problems ... 00:17:22The First Warning Signs Your Home May Be Making You Sick ... 00:21:30Mold, VOCs & Why New Homes Aren't Always Safer ... 00:24:48Construction Mistakes That Trap Moisture Inside Walls ... 00:25:37Why You Should Build a Relationship With Your Home ... 00:28:57The Dangerous Search for a Single "Perfect" Mold Test ... 00:29:54What a Proper Mold Assessment Actually Looks Like ... 00:30:35Why ERMI Can Create False Confidence or Unnecessary Panic ... 00:33:55Petri Dish Tests: Why Jason Calls Them Junk Science ... 00:35:31How Outdoor vs. Indoor Mold Should Really Be Compared ... 00:36:56The Problems With ERMI's Original Design ... 00:39:18Introducing AI-Powered Dust Testing & the Future of Mold Detection ... 00:44:00Air Testing vs. Dust Testing: When Each Matters ... 00:46:37Why Dust Creates a Historical Record of Your Home ... 00:48:42When Symptoms and Test Results Don't Agree ... 00:51:00The Nervous System's Role in Mold Illness ... 00:53:17Confirmation Bias in Mold Testing & Functional Medicine ... 00:57:32The Most Important Steps for Recovery ... 00:59:24Our Amazing Sponsors:MitoBlue by Wizard Sciences – A longevity-focused formula that combines pharmaceutical-grade methylene blue with NMN, PQQ, fisetin, and apigenin to support healthy mitochondria, cellular renewal, and healthy aging.

📍 Please don’t forget to follow my NEW Instagram account at https://www.instagram.com/longevitywithnat/For years we've talked about longevity as if the answer is hiding in the next supplement, biomarker, or miracle molecule. But what if we've been looking at aging through far too narrow a lens? Today's guest, Dr. Marios Kyriazis, has spent decades challenging that idea by exploring aging through medicine, complexity science, cybernetics, and even philosophy.We unpack what bioregulators actually are, why so much of the conversation around them has become overhyped, and how concepts like hormesis, adaptation, and even our relationship with technology may shape how we age. This is one of those conversations that starts with peptides and ends with a much bigger question: what does it really mean to build a longer, healthier life?Where to find Bioregulators: visit https://profound-health.com/?Aff=Longevity15 and use code NAT15 for 15% off your first orderEpisode Timestamps:Introduction to Dr. Marios Kyriazis & Rethinking Aging ... 00:00:00Why Humans Age Differently Than Animals ... 00:06:49The Role Of Consciousness, Stress & Positive Thinking ... 00:13:19What Peptide Bioregulators Actually Are ... 00:15:29Manufacturing, Quality Control & Why Source Matters ... 00:18:24Carnosine, Natural Extracts & The Origins Of Bioregulators ... 00:19:48Organ Extracts, Food & Ancient Healing Traditions ... 00:23:20Natural vs. Synthetic Bioregulators ... 00:26:19Personalized Medicine & Why One Size Doesn't Fit All ... 00:30:00Side Effects, Safety & Clinical Experience ... 00:37:01Professor Cavinson's Research: Why The West Remains Skeptical ... 00:38:32The Biggest Misconceptions About Bioregulators ... 00:44:22Cycling Bioregulators & The Principle Of Hormesis ... 00:47:47How Many Bioregulators Should You Take? ... 00:50:10Oxidative Stress, Free Radicals & Aging ... 00:51:45Do Bioregulators Reduce Oxidative Damage? ... 00:54:37Why Quality Manufacturing Is So Difficult ... 00:57:12Avoiding Routine As A Longevity Strategy ... 01:07:42Practical Longevity Advice For Midlife ... 01:11:07Our Amazing Sponsors:Blue Cannatine by Troscriptions – Precision-formulated troches designed to support sustained focus and mental clarity, helping you stay sharp through long workdays, recording sessions, travel, and everything in between.
