Mold Avoidance with Bryan Rosner

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.

The Inevitability of Mold Avoidance: Why Some Folks Finally Go Extreme

Lately I've been in touch with a lot of folks who left their moldy homes and belongings, set up a life somewhere, but never did "extreme" avoidance. Eventually, they all seem to actually go extreme. Why is this? What factors could possibly motivate them to start all over AGAIN? Let's take a look...

For the SKEPTICS: Why we know mold avoidance is real

This episode is for family, friends, parents, who are skeptical of the various aspects of extreme mold avoidance. This topic is near-and-dear to my heart, because I myself spent DECADES wandering the halls of endless Lyme disease treatments and empty promises. 

Mold Secrets You Won’t Hear From A Doctor

A well-known doctor recently said that extreme mold avoidance may be needed for some people. That was a great vindication, and needed progress! Still though, it isn't enough. This episode also discusses my experience with various treatments and therapies in early mold avoidance.

Intro to Mold Avoidance (in 10 Minutes or Less)

Finally, a podcast episode for brand new beginners! This is the "A to Z" of mold avoidance basics. For new folks who have no idea what this is all about. Obviously, I had to skip over many important details for such a short podcast episode, but I felt that we were about due for a birds-eye-view look at the process. 

5 MINUTES OR LESS: The Butterfly Effect in Mold Avoidance

Is it possible that the mold avoidance crossroads we face now, might have much bigger consequences than we realize? The butterfly effect is a principle in physics where the small act of a butterfly flapping its wings might have big consequences around the world.

Is mold reactivity bad?

This theme needs to be repeated over and over. However, remember that if you are new to my podcast, you should start listening to the EARLIEST episodes first. 

You have to Survive before you can Thrive

"When can I live a normal life?", many people ask. Well, let's start with the basics. It is hard to live a normal life if you can't even survive. You have to Survive before you can Thrive. 

FREmedica Wave 1 device - My Experience

You guys know that I prefer minimal treatments during mold avoidance. In fact, currently (3.5 years into avoidance) I've given up 99% of all medical treatments. Today, though, I'm talking about one of the few modalities which DID help me during early mold avoidance: the FREmedica Wave 1. You can get 10% off the device by using code BIOMED, if you're interested. 

New here? Start with this episode!

My podcast is getting big with dozens of episodes. Not all episodes are tailored toward beginners. This is a good one to start with, and not too long. Also, this episode mentions some other episodes you can listen to in order to get started. What are we focusing on today? First of all, on REALIZING that mold avoidance is a massive paradigm shift. Then, on HOW to help transition into the new paradigm (because it isn't always easy or intuitive). If you're not new to mold avoidance, you can skip this episode! 

5 MINUTES OR LESS: The Good News and the Bad News about How Sick You Are

When I was super sick, it was always alarming how the "latest and greatest" therapies didn't do much for me. I knew I was much, much sicker than the people who were helped by those therapies. So, when mold avoidance started working (but when it also was taking forever to heal with mold avoidance) I was encouraged. I knew I was very sick and I knew the right medicine would not be a quick fix.

Bird's Eye Comparison: Mold Doctor Treatment vs. Extreme Mold Avoidance

Someone had listened to some of my podcast episodes but still didn't have a clear understanding of this difference. So I realized I needed to zoom out a little, and offer a birds-eye comparison. Please, also watch my related video. My YouTube channel is "Bryan Rosner," go watch the 7-minute video, "mold tests vs. mold avoidance." 

Q&A with Andrew: 8 Months of Extreme Avoidance Allows Return to Hometown

This interview is a 2-part series, the first part is this podcast episode, the second part is a written Q&A on my blog which can be found at https://lymebook.com/bryan/2020/11/08/andrews-story/
