Is Your House Making You Sick? Mold, Mycotoxins & Heart Health with Dr. Jack Wolfson
from Health Is A Skill with Todd Vande Hei
In this episode, Todd sits down with cardiologist-turned-functional-medicine leader Dr. Jack Wolfson to unpack one of the most overlooked drivers of chronic disease: mold toxicity and water-damaged homes.Jack shares how discovering mold in his own multimillion-dollar house changed everything — from his family’s living situation (tents, concrete/steel/glass builds) to how he thinks about heart disease, cancer, neurodegeneration, hormones, and stubborn weight gain.Together, Todd and Jack explore why mold is so often missed by conventional medicine, why women tend to get sick first, and what you can actually do if you suspect your environment is holding your health back.In this episode, they cover:Why Jack believes most chronic illness comes down to “too much bad stuff, not enough good stuff” — with mold as a major “bad stuff” source.How mold mycotoxins can suppress your immune system, damage vessels, disrupt hormones, and drive cancer and heart disease.Why women are often the “canaries in the coal mine” for mold — with brain fog, weight gain, skin issues, and hormone chaos showing up first.The link between mold and gut problems, mood issues, infertility, and the inability to lose weight despite “doing everything right.”How to test: urine mycotoxin testing for your body and Swiffer dust testing for your home.The hard truth about beautiful, expensive homes that are secretly making families sick — and why environment change is sometimes non-negotiable.Jack’s own solution: living outdoors, tent life, and building mold-resistant homes from concrete, steel, and glass.⚡ Final Takeaway: You can’t truly optimize your health if you’re sleeping in a toxic box. Sometimes the most powerful “treatment” isn’t another supplement — it’s changing the environment you live in. Your health is a skill you can build.
