THE BETTER BELLY PODCAST - Natural Constipation Remedies, Acid Reflux, Hormones, Gut Health, Functional Medicine

Have you found mold in your home, called your insurance company, and been told — flat out — that mold isn't covered?
Are you sitting on a remediation quote with five figures on it, wondering how on earth you're supposed to pay for this andkeep healing?
Did you already file a claim, already get denied, and assume that was the end of the road?
If you said yes to ANY of these questions, then this episode is for you!
In today's episode, I'm teaching you things I wish I knew when I started my journey of repairing my home from mold and water damage — including the single word that decides whether your insurance company writes you a check or closes your file.
Today, I'll be breaking down:
The difference between water damage and mold in the eyes of a home insurance company — and why leading with "mold exposure" is the fastest way to get your claim shrunk down to almost nothing
The "event" test — the one question to ask yourself before reaching out to your home insurance company
Who to hire to inspect the cause of your water damage — and why this is crucial to getting your homeowners insurance on your side
The 2-Step Process that your insurance may cover if you do all this correctly
How you may be able to still get an insurance payout on claim that has already been completed and get money back that you already spent

If you're tired of being told mold is your problem to pay for, and you don't want to drain your savings fixing a house, then this episode is for you!

Have you just gotten confirmation of toxic mold exposure — a positive ERMI (Environmental Relative Moldiness Index), a positive mycotoxin test, or visible mold under your floors — and now you're staring at those results with no idea what to actually do first?
Have you already spent thousands of dollars on protocols, food sensitivity tests, and supplements that didn't work, and you're starting to wonder if mold exposure is the reason nothing has stuck?
Do you suspect toxic mold is driving your bloating, constipation, brain fog, or fatigue — but the thought of leaving or remediating your home feels financially impossible, so you've been stuck in limbo?
If you said yes to ANY of these questions, then this episode is for you!
In today's episode, I'm walking you through exactly what to do after mold exposure, in the right order, so that you can stop pouring money into protocols that physically cannot work while you're still being exposed — and finally start healing.
Today, I'll be breaking down:
How to confirm you have mold exposure
Practical options for first steps to take with mold (discussing considerations whether you rent, own, and how bad the mold is)
Why an ERMI score of 20+ is the line between people who can start healing from mold at home and people who will not get results until they get out

If you're tired of throwing money at supplement after supplement, and you don't want to spend another year guessing whether toxic mold exposure is what's standing between you and healing, then this episode is for you!

Have you ever done an ERMI home mold test, gotten your results back, and wondered: "What the heck does this all mean?"
Or, have you done an ERMI before and had someone else analyze it, but you don't quite trust their analysis, and you want to be able to understand it yourself?
If you said yes to ANY of these questions, then this episode is for you!
In today's episode, I'm teaching you how to interpret my favorite home mold test to start with - an ERMI test by Envirobiomics. And I'm going to teach you how to interpret it in 5 minutes or less so that you know what your next steps should be based on your specific results.
Today, I'll be breaking down:
Why I think the ERMI test is the best home mold kit to buy
What each major section of the ERMI means (ERMI vs. HERTSMI results)
How to interpret ERMI test results in 5 minutes or less (better than your doctor or mold inspector!)
What your next steps should be based on your ERMI analysis

If you're ready to simplify your mold healing journey and clarify the exact next steps you need to take (without wasting money), then this episode is for you.
