Today on Beyond the Basics Health Academy, Dr. Meaghan sits down with Michael Rubino to talk about mold, mold toxicity, and home remediation.

Michael Rubino has become an expert on mold and home remediation. From his work, he has found that many times builders and contractors don't know how to tackle mold correctly. To educate those who are suffering, Rubino wrote the book Mold Medic. In detail, Rubino advises readers on how to choose a mold remediation company and the exact processes that companies should be using. He also explains how to recover from mold-related illnesses. His message is perfect for those interested in achieving and maintaining robust health.

Rubino’s focus is not just on removing cosmetic damage resulting from mold. It’s on removing all traces of mold, the spores they leave behind and the toxins produced by the mold. He’s discovered that a person suffering from hypersensitivity to mold needs all three types of decontamination to regain their health.

In one home or business after another where mold was supposedly eliminated, Rubino found the cause of continuing mold-related illness: conventional mold remediators are only doing part of the job. He intends to correct this situation.

Rubino and his company - All American Restoration - have been featured in USA Today, NJBiz, Reader’s Digest, New Jersey Monthly, and Digital Trends. He was also selected as a speaker for the Spring 2020 Indoor Air Quality Association Meeting and Expo.

Rubino received a Bachelor of Science degree in 2008 and is a council-certified microbial remediator from the American Council for Accredited Certification and a New York State Department of Labor Remediation Contractor. He has spent the past seven years involved in construction and remediating mold contamination. 

Thanks so much, Michael, for coming on the show to tackles these and many more topics during our discussion about mold and mycotoxins.
