This week we're bringing Jason Earle, founder and CEO of GotMold?, back on our podcast to uncover the hidden health impacts of mold exposure. After discovering that mold in his childhood home was the root cause of his severe allergies and asthma, Jason left a successful Wall Street career to help families identify and solve indoor air quality problems. He explains why using bleach on mold can actually make the problem worse and why the key is removing mold, not just trying to kill it. The conversation dives into how to identify a true mold problem using simple cues like what you can see, smell, and feel, along with insights on testing methods, humidifiers, VOCs, and finding the source of contamination. We also explore bigger-picture health topics including limbic retraining, the Cell Danger Response, and Jason’s philosophy that optimal health comes down to “air, food, and attitude.” 

Jason Earle is a man on a mission. An adoring father of two boys, incurable entrepreneur and indoor air quality crusader, he is the founder & CEO of GOT MOLD?, and the creator of the GOT MOLD?® Test Kit. The realization that his moldy childhood home was the underlying cause of his extreme allergies and asthma, led him into the healthy home business in 2002, leaving behind a successful career on Wall Street. Over the last two decades, Jason has personally performed countless sick building investigations, solving many medical mysteries along the way, helping thousands of families recover their health and peace of mind. He has been featured or appeared on Good Morning America, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, The Dr. Oz Show, Entrepreneur, Wired, and more.
