Mold Testing, ERMI, and How to Choose a Professional Inspector & Remediation Team with Joseph Reiss
If you suspect mold in your home, the overwhelm can be real: Which tests matter? Who can you trust? How do you know if remediation was done right?
In this episode, I sit down with Indoor Environmental Professional (IEP) and ISEAI member Joseph Reiss to break it all down. We cover the practical first steps—like ERMI testing and when to bring in an inspector—what separates a solid inspection from a wasted one, and why HVAC systems are one of the most commonly missed mold sources. Joe also explains how to choose the right remediation team, what shortcuts to avoid, and why post-remediation clearance is essential.
Whether you’re just starting to wonder if your environment is making you sick, or you’ve been through failed remediation before, this episode will help you move from paralyzed and overwhelmed to clear and confident in your next steps.

Healing EOE: How Mold, Lyme, and Stress Were the Missing Pieces
When doctors told Winona Miller she had eosinophilic esophagitis (EOE) after a round with a prescription allergy support, the story could have ended there: a chronic, inflammatory disease of the esophagus managed with medications and restrictions. But Winona kept asking the deeper question — why was her immune system reacting in the first place?
Cleaning the Environment: When you Suspect Mold in the Home
Mold is sneaky—it doesn’t just grow in obvious damp spots. It hides behind walls, inside HVAC systems, under kitchen sinks, and even in your attic insulation. In this episode, we walk through the most common (and most overlooked) places mold can thrive, the varieties that are most toxic, and the questions you must ask when hiring an inspector.
You’ll learn why not all “black mold” is the same, how the wrong inspection can miss the real problem, and practical steps to take if you suspect your home is making you sick. Your healing journey isn’t just about your body—it’s about the space you live in, too.
How we Help you Heal: Our Approach to Functional Care, Natural Remedies, and Homeopathy
If you’re reading this, you’re likely looking for answers — maybe after years of feeling unheard or unwell. The team at Hey Hey MAE is here to help you understand your options, feel supported, and discover a system of care that truly fits you.
Between biohacking and doctor’s visits that seek to give you a pill pack - it’s hard to know what next choice is the right choice for your body. Whether you should take this or that, try that cleanse, is this thing that person is selling even safe? Stack all of that on the lack of knowledge we were taught about our bodies growing up and the vast amount of knowledge available on the internet - and you’re stuck in confusion before you get started. Yet, there’s that little voice inside that says your health isn’t being taken of well by your providers. I was you.
This overview of our care will help demystify the process we walk our clients through to move from sick and shut down to thriving and better than before they felt bad.
Mold: The Immune Trigger You Can’t Afford to Ignore
When it comes to your immune system, mold isn’t just a nuisance—it’s a triggering event that can set off a chain reaction of inflammation, gut dysfunction, and chronic illness.
In this episode, we explore how environmental mold—often invisible and underestimated—can keep the immune system stuck in overdrive. You’ll learn why mold exposure, especially in children’s early years, can distort immune balance (TH1/TH2), block detoxification, and create a perfect storm for other toxins like heavy metals, glyphosate, and bacteria to take hold.
