About this episode

Today, we’re hacking your home—big time. I’m sitting down with three experts who know exactly how your living space might be messing with your health, and more importantly, how to fix it. 

First up, we’ve got Michael Rubino, aka the mold medic, who’s here to blow your mind about the invisible toxins lurking in your walls. Mold? It’s everywhere, and it’s doing more damage than you think. Michael’s got killer insights on why dust might be your biggest health enemy and exactly how to get rid of it before it starts messing with your system. 

Then, we’ve got Ryan Blaser dropping some serious science on environmental toxins you probably didn’t even know were impacting you. EMFs? VOCs? Ryan explains why your home’s air quality might be worse than you think, and how to fix it with a few smart biohacks. 

Finally, Matteo Franceschetti, the sleep optimization guru, breaks down how your home could be trashing your sleep. He’s got the secrets to transforming your environment so you can supercharge your recovery and performance every night.
