Kyoto recap, bamboo forest, and monkey park

So many of our friends had told us to take a bullet train to explore nearby areas while we were in Tokyo. Okinawa, Nara, Kyoto, and Osaka were highly recommended. I think I mentioned in a previous post that I was intimiated by planning this trip, and adding another travel leg felt like a little too much for my brain. One of my friends told us that we’d regret going to Tokyo and not seeing Kyoto, so we decided to make it happen… and it ended up being my personal highlight of the trip.

While Tokyo is bustling with bright lights and tall buildings, Kyoto feels like more cinematic, serene Japan. Think lantern-lined streets, temples, and geishas.

The bullet train was SUCH a cool experience – we were going 200mph and it was so pleasant and way more enjoyable/hassle-free than air travel –

TBH it’s been a bit hard for me to blog lately. The nutshell version is that the blog landscape has been extra rough… I’ll share more in an upcoming post. For now, I’m trying to just enjoy a 90s summer with the girls (swimming, roller skating, time with friends, going to the mall) and reminiscing on our AMAZING trip to Japan and Korea.

We ate SO much delicious food that I still think about daily, and I wanted to share some of the highlights in today’s post

208: What Mold Is Really Doing to Your Health and How to Find It with Brian Karr

Web Admin 0 75 Article rating: No rating

Hi friends!

I have a brand new podcast episode live, and today we are talking all about mold and how it can silently be affecting your health.

I’m sitting down with Brian Karr, second generation indoor environmental consultant and co-founder of We Inspect and The Dust Test. Brian has helped thousands of people create healthier living environments and has become a go-to expert for medical professionals nationwide on mold and biotoxin issues.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your home could be affecting your health, or if you’ve been dealing with mystery symptoms that nobody can explain, then check out what we chat about:

  • Why mold is not a new problem, but why we are only now starting to connect the dots between it and so many chronic health conditions
  • The surprising reason why dried out mold colonies can actually be more dangerous than wet ones
  • Why new builds are not automatically safe and the three ways mold can get into a brand new home before you even move in
  • Why you do not have to gut your entire house, and how having the right data makes the process far less overwhelming and expensive
  • The most common spots in your home where mold is hiding that you are probably not checking
  • Why those little mold testing pucks from the store can give you both false positives and false negatives and what to do instead
  • What The Dust Test is, how it works, and why it gives you a much more accurate picture of what is happening in your home
  • How The Dust Test can actually cross-reference mold in your home with mycotoxins found in your body
  • The free Mold Exposure Score tool Brian created and how to use it as your starting point

And so much more!!

It was so great getting to talk with Brian and I hope you love this episode!
