## Resource

Could hidden dangers in your home be impacting your brain health? In this eye-opening conversation, discover how mold and mycotoxins might be contributing to cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease. I interview John Bohde, co-founder and VP of The Mold Pros, to discuss the shocking connection between mold exposure, mycotoxins, and cognitive decline. John explains how mold can contribute to dementia and brain fog, often in ways we don't immediately recognize. As a leader in the mold inspection and remediation industry, John highlights environmental triggers that can be overlooked, even in homes that appear clean and well-maintained. We talk about how mold can release mycotoxins into the air and what that means for your health. John shares recommendations for identifying hidden mold and mycotoxins in your environment, emphasizing the importance of a proper moisture assessment and advanced testing for those dealing with chronic illness or dementia. Plus, we discuss how the remediation process has evolved and how you can protect yourself from environmental illness. “Everybody thinks, oh, my house is fine. I'm a great housekeeper, and therefore I don't have a problem. One, it oftentimes has nothing to do with how well you keep your home. It's really around how much moisture is in that environment.
