In this episode, Michael tells us why mold is harming us more now than it has in the past, why we should dust, and how to save money by knowing what steps to take when you suspect or see mold within your home. Michael leaves us with empowering instructions on how to address mold and get the most bang for your buck. I'd LOVE to have Michael back so if you have questions for him, leave them here.  KEY TAKEAWAYS: The best mold testTop places in the home where mold hidesWhat indoor air quality actually meansHow often should you clean you HVAC system?Why should we dust?Air purifier & HVAC filter vs individual room filterHVAC filtrationMERV ratings on filters & the best one for moldPorous vs semi-porous vs non-porousChrista & Michael's fav air purifier ABOUT GUEST: Michael Rubino is championing “the new frontier of holistic health.” He is an air quality expert and wellness advocate who is bridging the gap between our homes and their direct impact on health.
