Episode #81: Create Your Healthy Home with May Dooley, MS, MA, CMC

Why You Should Listen: In this episode, you will learn about Bau Biologie, or Building Biology, and how to evaluate and improve the health of the external environment in order to improve overall health. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is May Dooley. May Dooley, MS, MA, CMC (Council-certified Microbial Consultant) is a former middle school science teacher who loves to educate and empower people with information to improve their environment - and thus, their lives. She has been an environmental consultant for more than 24 years helping people make their home environment healthier. She leads her clients through the basic steps to assess and create a healthy home which includes air quality, water quality, and reduced exposure to other stressors that may impact health such as electromagnetic fields. Her inspections are interactive, and her clients learn how to measure EMFs, reduce body voltage in their bed, use a laser particle counter to evaluate their vacuum cleaner, and to take samples to explore for mold. She even brings along her microscope and looks at the samples in your home. Once she has evaluated an environment using the principles of Bau Biologie, she provides an easy-to-understand series of steps to improve the environment. Key Takeaways: Why might culture plate air sampling be a better option than spore trap testing? What are the pros and cons of the ERMI? What is the CAP ERMI? What role do microbial VOCs play in the health of an environment? How often can mold issues be remediated? How is a microscope helpful in exploring the potential for mold?
