Ep 53. What Mold In Your Home Can Do To Your Brain w/ Sandy Martin
Have you ever found mold (or mould) in your house and painted straight over it? Sandy Martin did, and it took years of her life. She was 45, running one of the biggest celebrity events businesses in the world, when she opened a spreadsheet she had built herself two weeks earlier and could not read it. Two weeks of rest made it worse. A brain scan got her diagnosed with a head injury she never had. She spent more than $97,000 on supplements, devices and protocols before anyone worked out that the cause was in the walls of her own home. In this episode we sit down with Sandy Martin, creator of the Biological EDGE framework and author of Biological EDGE: A Practical Guide to Longevity, to talk through how mold does what it does, how she found it, and the system she built to get herself back. She is well now. This conversation is about what you can do, in what order, and why the order is the part most people get wrong. Through powerful stories and real-life examples, we dive into: How mold travels from a wall into your brain through your eyes Why two weeks of rest made her worse, and what that told her The brain scan that got her diagnosed with an injury she never had Why she had to give away almost everything she owned Why the order matters so much: eliminate, decode, gain, execute Why your headache, your sore hip and your 3pm crash are your body sending you information The blood test most GPs never run, and what it can tell you decades early If you have been stacking supplements, devices and protocols and wondering why none of it is landing, this episode will change the order you do things in.
