#028 - Amie Skilton is a Naturopath, Nutritionist, Herbalist and qualified Mould Testing Technician (just to name a few things!) As a former Functional Medicine Practitioner of 18 years, Amie’s view of root-cause medicine was forever altered as a result of an environmentally acquired illness. In 2017, after developing Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) herself, she discovered the world of building biology and the various ways in which the built environment has a profound impact on human health. She realised her naturopathic, nutritional and herbal toolkit were only as useful as her environment was healthy. She’s now on a mission to raise awareness of a commonly overlooked but monumentally significant influence on health and wellbeing. As a long-time health and wellness geek myself, I know the importance of looking at health holistically and that includes a healthy home environment. Amie is a wealth of knowledge, experience and inspiration in this area and not enough people are talking about this in the tiny house space! So I invited Amie onto the show to shout this message from the rooftops to educate tiny housers, tiny house building companies and everyone in-between! This is especially important in a small space like a tiny home. In this conversation we talk about: Amie’s story of mould-related illness and common signs & symptoms of mould exposureTypes of toxic mould and what a building biologist isMould prevention and considerations when it comes to the construction of a tiny home from scratch (for DIY builders and tiny building companies)What to check for when it comes to mould detection and buying a pre-loved tiny homeThe most mould-prone building materials and which materials are better options to avoid water damage and mould growth… and SO MUCH more!
