#028 - Building a healthy home includes preventing moisture and mould growth. In a small space, it's especially important to mould-proof your tiny home.

Amie Skilton is a Naturopath, Nutritionist, Herbalist and qualified Mould Testing Technician. As a former Functional Medicine Practitioner of 18 years, Amie’s view of root-cause medicine was forever altered as a result of an environmentally acquired illness.

In 2017, after developing Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS), she discovered the world of building biology and the various ways in which the built environment has a profound impact on human health. She realised her Naturopathic, Nutritional and herbal toolkit were only as useful as her environment was healthy.

She’s now on a mission to raise awareness of a commonly overlooked but monumentally significant influence on health and wellbeing.

In this conversation we talk about:

• Amie’s story of mould-related illness and common signs & symptoms of mould exposure
• Types of toxic mould and what a building biologist is
• Mould prevention and considerations when constructing a tiny home from scratch (for DIY builders and tiny building companies)
• What to check for when it comes to mould detection and buying a pre-loved tiny home
• The most mould-prone building materials and which materials are better options to avoid water damage and mould growth… and more!
