The Mikhaila Peterson Podcast

Show Notes

In this episode, Michael Rubino, a leading expert in indoor air quality, joined me to discuss mold exposure and remediation which is something everyone should be aware of. This is the early days for mold awareness, in 20 years everyone will know this, no need to be behind. Michael’s the guy that helped me with my house when I figured out the link between mold and my health.

We explored how mold and poor air quality contribute to serious health issues, including brain fog and fatigue to more severe conditions like autoimmune disorders and long term neurological problems.

We spoke about modern building practices and the rise of mold-related health issues, and why potentially 80% of homes in the U.S. harbor hidden water damage and poor air quality. Michael also provided tips to improve indoor air, including testing methods, air purifiers, and how to identify mold in your home—even when it’s not visible.

We also covered Michael’s advocacy work through the Change the Air Foundation, which aims to improve public health policies and tackle mold-related issues in housing, schools, and military facilities. Enjoy!

He is also Chair of Change the Air Foundation and Host of Never Been Sicker podcast.

We need to know about this or it’ll come to us. In this deeply urgent and horrifying episode, I spoke with activist and survivor Sammy Woodhouse ( @officialsammyuk ) to discuss the recently released Rape Gang Inquiry Report and expose the hidden, massive crisis that’s occurring across the UK (and areas of Europe).After surviving years of horrific exploitation, rape, abuse, and a total systemic failure by the authorities who were paid to protect her, Sammy took matters into her own hands. She exposed the largest child abuse scandal in British history, leading to a 35-year prison sentence for her abuser. The fact that she had to do this herself is shameful. Sammy has recently lead the Rape Gang Inquiry, alongside MP Rupert Lowe, that reveals a terrifying reality: an estimated 250,000 girls and women have been harmed by these institutional cover-ups and targeted Pakistani Muslim networks (on the low end). Nobody talks about it because they don’t want to be called racist. It’s insane. From being briefed by mainstream media not to mention the demographics of her abusers live on air, to exposing the deep corruption within UK social care, police forces, and political parties, Sammy shares her story and the story of countless others. This is conversation about rampant immigration, the dangers that come with that, and corruption at the highest levels of the government.
