Mold Avoidance with Bryan Rosner

I'm going all-in on this mold avoidance approach

This new free episode is either really smart or really dumb. But I'm going all-in on this concept. After all, you only get one body. And in this economy, you probably have one body and not very many dollars. The stakes are high. Choose wisely. 

How I got Richer than Many Celebrities (Yes, this is about Mold Avoidance)

Normally I write a long and interesting description here, but that would spoil the artfully crafted teaser title :) So, just listen, I think you’ll be glad you did. 

Something WEIRD happened to me, and it changed everything

Something so mind-blownig just happened to me. The only way I can explain it is comparing it to how I had to jump-start my truck at the airport recently. The truck was TOTALLY useless while the battery was dead. It could not run heat, it could not take me home, it could not do anything. The experience I had recently was so profound, that this analogy is accurate. A must-listen! 

Power curve hacks from traveling abroad

So in Spring of this year I spent 20 days in Europe. When I got back to the USA, my body was totally different for 2 months. I completely mistook this for "having found good spots in the USA", but actually it was a delayed reaction to the Power Curve benefits gained from being OUTSIDE the USA. I am astonished at this realization and that it took me so many months to put the pieces of the puzzle together. But I'm here to tell the story now after having just left the USA again, twice, in the last month. 

No, seriously: Put your own oxygen mask on first

Shrinkflation, worsening toxicity, utility prices, toxic food, with a side of "this is normal, don't question it." Yes, it is finally time to talk about real measures to save yourself first. Next year might be too late. I am not being dramatic. If you can't relate to this yet, just wait. Your turn is coming.

I'm going back to Europe on the next available flight

OK the title might be a little bit of an exaggeration, maybe not the "next available flight." But my experience in Europe earlier this year was so profound that it has taken me months to unpack all of the implications. I share some more lessons here, and reasons why I actually am trying to go back soon. If you want detailed airport reports and other tactical tools, check out my premium podcast episodes too.

18 Airplanes, 2 Continents, 1 Surprising Takeaway

Bryan just got done traveling all around the USA and Europe. The grass isn't greener (unless you are in the Eastern states, LOL). It's been too overwhelming to think about summarizing my travels and lessons, so I've started - and abandoned - a few attempts. However, there was one interesting aspect that stood out to me, so I figured I'd make an attempt at creating an episode about my travels, centered on that one aspect. If all else fails at least I know there's one juicy nugget in this 60 minute rant. Enjoy!

FRAT, FRAT, and more FRAT

I've learned since starting avoidance that FRAT - the outdoor mold supertoxin that often causes the onset of mold illness in individuals who are debilitated - is basically my "primary" toxin. Meaning it is the one that harms me the most. Lately I have some bad news to report in relation to the recent Los Angeles area "mega fires." I'm making this podcast as a PSA and warning to my fellow avoiders.

When things go wrong after 7 years of mold avoidance: a personal update with some new lessons

If you are a member of my Facebook Group called Mold Avoidance Milestones, you probably saw my recent post detailing some very bad things that have happened to me over the last 6 months. In this episode, I dive deeper into some of these challenges and try to extract some lessons and solutions for my situation.

The distance between “normal mold ideology” and “extreme mold avoidance” is shorter than you think

If you already believe that mold can be harmful, which is established fact even in mainstream medicine (mold remediation companies wear full body protection suits in affected homes), then the bridge to understanding “extreme mold avoidance” is a lot shorter than you realize. And this point is critical. 

Still Sick with Lyme or CFS? Here's What "They" Don't Want You To Know

In this episode I systematically deconstruct the logic behind why mold avoidance represents an actual scientific breakthrough, rather than just another opinion on how to get well. I explain why such a revolutionary breakthrough has managed to go totally unrecognized, and why this ominous blunder might cost you EVERYTHING. If you are still sick with Lyme or CFS, it may already be costing you everything. You can't afford to miss this episode.

Even Mold Doctors are Ignorant about this Pivotal Moment in the Disease Process

The decline from being moderately sick to very sick is not a linear process. There is a single pivotal moment that changes everything. Understanding this moment also provides insight about all the mysteries of mold avoidance, including: why it is necessary, what to expect, and what conventional and alternative medicine is MISSING when it comes to mold toxicity. This is a can't-miss episode! 

Things that Surprise Me as a Recovered Mold Avoider

What changed the most as an advanced mold avoider? Everything and nothing at the same time. These are some things I wish I knew sooner. Or, more articulately... things I was told but just didn't fully understand or believe. This episode covers a lot of ground and is a good listen for newbies as well as experienced avoiders.

MCS, Gluten, Perfume, VOC's: If All You Have is a Hammer, Everything Looks Like a Nail

Probably the biggest mistake new mold avoiders make is not learning to tell the difference between nuisance secondary reactivities and primary illness-causing reactivities. As a mentor once told me, "you can't avoid all toxins, you have to pick and choose." This is why most people never end up picking the right toxins, and never get better.

Should you get a Casita RV?

I've been wanting to make this podcast episode for months, but have always felt too overwhelmed by how much information there is to share. So I just hit record and started talking, and while I didn't cover EVERYTHING, I certainly got the discussion started. If you want to learn more "tips and tricks" regarding my experience using RV's for mold avoidance, check out my related eBook: RVs & Mold Avoidance Ebook

2 Mold Avoidance LIES Even a Dog Can See Through

Even a dog can tell these Two Big Assumptions are LIES. When you hear this episode you'll be BLOWN AWAY that anyone believes these Two Big Lies. Yet 99% of mold sick people still believe this. I've used two analogies to reveal these lies so dramatically that they can never hide in the darkness again. If you enjoy this episode you'll LOVE my premium podcast episodes available for $10/mo. 

Using a mental exercise called ”fear-setting” to propel your mold healing

There's a little-known reality about healing from mold illness: it's HARD to leave a moldy house. And not for the reasons you think. Mold is a microbial lifeform that WANTS to survive, and it poisons our brains into thinking that leaving the mold is basically impossible, or at the very least, terrifying. Today I share a lesson I learned from one of my favorite podcasters, Tim Ferriss, and how it applies to mold illness recovery. It's important stuff, this might save your life... 😳

Housing as a fungible resource: making the paradigm shift

In the crypto world, there are these things called NFT's, which means "non-fungible token." They are often pieces of art that are special and unique. On the other hand, "fungible" items are all the same: for example, dollar bills. No one cares which dollar bill they have; they are all the same. This podcast episode is about learning to think of housing as a fungible resource. 

What can the movie Interstellar teach us about mold avoidance?

You might be tempted to skip this episode but it actually addresses the MOST IMPORTANT mold avoidance skill of all. Which skill am I talking about? You'll have to listen to find out ;) There's a scene in Interstellar that drove me crazy for YEARS, but I finally understand it now, and it makes all the difference. 

PART 2: The Singularity of Mold Avoidance

Have you ever loved a movie only to have Hollywood ruin the story with a sequel? Yeah, sequels are risky. That's why it took a lot of confidence for me to make a "Part 2" for one of my best-ever podcast episodes: The original Singularity of Mold Avoidance episode published almost exactly 3 years ago in August, 2020. Well, you can be the judge, but I think this episode justified its own existence...such an important topic to learn or just be reminded of.

False Assumptions That Can Block Recovery in New Mold Avoiders

If you listen to any of my podcast episodes, PLEASE listen to this one. Especially if you are relatively new to mold avoidance. Successful healing in mold avoidance is less about "learning new information" and more about "UN-learning old information." Trust me, I know: I was an alternative health journalist and author for 15 years. I've done it all, seen it all. Please share this episode with family and friends who are new to comprehending mold avoidance. 

Let Mold Avoidance Surprise You - A Rare 1-Hour Podcast Episode (and one of my best!)

OK guys. It's been a while since I've been this fresh and had this much to say. You'll find out why in the episode. We cover a LOT of bases today. I don't even know how to describe this episode, because I think it is one of my best and broadest. Also it is 2:51am so I'm going to bed now - just listen to it.

🎶The Road Isn’t Out There At All, It’s Inside You🎶

In early mold avoidance, the road to healing IS "out there" - meaning location's effect, meaning you have to MOVE your body to a clear location in order to recover. But I am at the phase now where the road is more "inside me" - which is great news, since moving around all the time is a pain in the butt. So you'll hear me talk about this theme quite a bit in recent podcast episodes. Of course, if you are brand new to mold avoidance, you should start by listening to my older episodes... which are more appropriate for brand new avoiders. 

Reaching Escape Velocity from Mold Exposure

This is a long episode, almost an hour. But I feel like I was able to address a topic that is so foreign to those who are new to mold avoidance, that it is almost like speaking a different language. We all know that some words in other languages don't translate well to English, and therefore it takes quite a conversation in order to explain what the word means. Reaching "escape velocity" from mold exposure introduces a few such topics, which is why it took me almost an hour to "translate" these topics into "everyday language"! 

If You Have Unresolved CFS or Lyme, Listen to This!

There is a HUGE difference between mold avoidance and "regular" conventional or alternative medicine. This difference is probably the Number 1 reason why people fail to recover, so I suggest listening to this episode, and sharing it with others who have chronic Lyme or CFS.

Which Supplements to Take During Mold Avoidance? And Why this is a MUCH BIGGER Topic than People Realize

Someone asked me recently my thoughts on taking supplements during early mold avoidance. The thing about this question is that it scratches the surface of a much bigger, more important topic. The only way to properly address this was with a new podcast episode. If you enjoyed this, consider subscribing for $10/mo to my paid/bonus podcast episodes.

I Have Much To Pay For

When I was very sick, I always intuitively felt that I had much to pay for. I wasn't damaging my body on purpose, but the damage that was being done would take years to fix. This is why I was disappointed when typical supplements and treatments only worked for a couple of days. But when my mentors told me the "intensification" process during mold avoidance might last "2 to 3 years," I was elated! I could finally "pay my debt" and heal my body. 

You Might Be Mold Sick & Not Even Know It

This episode is for people on the "fringes" of mold avoidance who aren't quite sure if this illness applies to them. It is also for family and friends. Plus, it contains a new, simplified, streamlined conceptual framework for mold avoidance that I really like. I hope you enjoy it, I think it is an important episode!

Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS): How does it fit in with mold avoidance?

Believe it or not, this is a nuclear topic loaded with controversy. I've been wanting to talk about MCAS for a long time, so here is the podcast episode that addresses it. 

Are These 2 Variables Preventing Your Recovery?

There are two variables that NO ONE is talking about in terms of healing from chronic illnesses such as Lyme and CFS. These variables are on the opposite ends of a scale, balancing each other. But their short term consequences are much different from their long term consequences. Listen to the episode and ask yourself if you've done a proper analysis on how these variables are impacting your recovery.
