Discussion on Indoor Air Pollution and Health

Started to get these emails being like, thank you, thank you, thank you. Me and my husband have been sleep divorced for years. We got a Jasper, he stopped snoring. We're sharing a bedroom again. Our relationship is thriving. We didn't realize it or people got, you know, as soon as you turn 60, they're like, you need a CPAP machine. What? A CPAP machine just shoves air down your throat. The filter is like the size of a quarter. It's just for like, same like your furnace filter to keep large things from getting in you. You would think if someone needs a machine to pump air down their throat, you would want to also have really clean air for them. Nope, they don't think about that. So allergens. Dust. Dust. Dust mites. So dust attract. Dust mites. That's a big allergen. Also, a lot of people man, their seasonal allergies go away because you can handle mold, you can handle pollen two, three hours a day, no problem. You can walk by, you know, asphalt being paved onto the road. It smells, you leave, you're okay. Problem is with the allergens, you're breathing it 24 hours a day. So you think you're in your bedroom, you're in your safe haven. You're not. When we test beds and pillows, there's often more pollen in your bedroom than there is outside. Wow. So because it comes in size and it gets trapped in there, it's like a sponge. So when you can turn your bedroom from this, like, toxic environment to a clean air sanctuary and turn your bedroom into like this healing suite, it's remarkable what happens. But it's, it's all. It's a little bit of everything. Right. What are some of the, like, cleanest airs that you've encountered and worst airs? I'm sure you, you've gone around the country. Are some areas just worse than others? Yeah. So good air is typically when you're surrounded by trees, you know, that seems obvious. You go outside in nature. We could, we could tell. We breathe that. You could tell the lake, Tahoes. Oh, yeah's got good air. Good water too. Yeah. Unless when there's wildfire smoke, but that's different. But the air there is amazing, you know? Yeah. Like. Or the Northwest has great air. Generally, where is the worst air? You know, Louisiana doesn't have great air. Miami is very moldy. Oddly, the desert is not good either. Like, Arizona and Nevada is very dry, but it's too dry. So once it gets too dry, that's when you have the bacteria and the dust and the ozone, and then they have no, like, immunity to moisture. So. So you get one little leak and mold. Kos you Some of the functional medicine doctors in Arizona are the biggest mold clinics in the country. Yep. Oh, wow. A lot of people move there when they're sensitive to mold because they're like, it's dry here. Yeah. Like Michaela Peterson. That's why she.
