182: Short-Term Fixes Vs. Long-Term Solutions #moldfinders: RADIO podcast

56:49

In this episode, I sat down with Len Arcuri—founder of All In Parent and host of Autism Parenting Secrets Podcast. Check him out at: www.elevatehowyounavigate.com Len opened up about his personal journey helping his son with autism, and how it led him to dig deep into root-cause approaches that go way beyond just surface-level solutions. We talk about the stuff most people aren’t talking about—like how environmental factors (think mold, metals, and chronic inflammation) can be overlooked root causes that make symptoms worse. Len breaks down how trauma and stress play a role too—not just for kids, but for parents as well. One thing I loved: Len uses a “tree” framework to explain his process. From mindset and beliefs (the roots), to knowledge, actions, and goals (the branches), it’s all about growing strong, resilient families from the inside out. If you're a parent feeling overwhelmed, especially if your child has complex health needs, this episode is for you. It's about shifting out of survival mode, rethinking what’s really going on, and stepping into empowered decision-making. We wrap up with some practical ways you can connect with Len and get support that’s tailored—not templated. 00:59 Guest Introduction: Len Arcuri 01:32 Discussing Autism and Root Causes 02:45 Len's Approach to Parenting and Coaching 03:52 Understanding Root Causes and Parental Impact 06:01 Practical Tips for Parents 07:07 Addressing Behavioral Challenges 11:26 The Role of Functional Medicine 27:16 Framework for Parental Transformation 29:57 Mindset and Beliefs: The Foundation 31:23 The Environment: Creating a Supportive Space 31:50 Knowledge and Actions: Finding the Sweet Spot 32:31 Vision and Goals: The Fruit of the Tree 33:05 The Power of Beliefs: Shifting Perspectives 42:33 Decision Making: Balancing Short and Long Term 49:50 Coaching and Support: Helping Parents Navigate IG: @MoldFinders Not sure the best way to get started?Follow these simple steps to hit the ground running… Step 1: Subscribe To Our Podcast!

In today’s mini-sode, I emphasize the importance of focusing on your overall goal—your WHY—behind what you’re doing. It’s easy to get caught up on individual findings in a mold inspection. Sometimes we spend so much time making decisions about those details that we lose sight of the bigger picture, the why that truly matters. This is especially important when quick solutions seem tempting—because, of course, we all want fast turnarounds, especially as parents worried about mold affecting their children.

Ballin' on a budget? Who isn't these days? And, financially preparing for a mold problem isn't exactly at the forefront of our minds until it slaps us in the face. So how does anyone afford to take care of a mold problem? This is one of the biggest questions people have. Mold inspections and remediations can be an overwhelming process. And yes, there can high costs associated with properly addressing your mold issue. So I wanted to outline steps to ensure it's done correctly the first time to avoid unnecessary expenses. It’s so important to start with thorough initial testing to accurately identify problems, using a specialized approach to prioritize remediation efforts based on health impact rather than tackling all issues simultaneously. I also wanted to talk about an awesome and unique financing option we have to enable our clients to manage costs effectively. Lastly, I wanted to introduce to you a remediation priority method (RPM) that combines lab results and personal circumstances to create a customized, cost-effective remediation plan, focusing on significant impact issues to improve one's health and living environment. 00:00 Introduction to Handling the Process 00:08 Step 1: Getting It Done Right the First Time 00:48 Step 2: The Importance of Proper Testing and Inspection 02:42 Financing Solutions for Affordability 04:29 Step 3: Smart Remediation Strategies 05:54 Personalizing Your Remediation Plan 08:17 Conclusion: Managing Costs and Prioritization IG: @MoldFinders Not sure the best way to get started?

Today marks the 150th episode of #MoldFinders: RADIO! There’s no other way to celebrate this milestone than having Dr. Jill Crista join me for a very special episode! So special we couldn’t fit it all in one episode. In fact, it's so special that we couldn't squeeze it all into one episode! This episode marks the beginning of a four-part series. Over the next four episodes, we'll introduce you to four incredible individuals who will share their personal stories about their journey with mold and the healing process. First up is Kaycee. After the birth of Kaycee’s third child in 2017, she began suffering from various health issues like fatigue, neuropathy, and memory lapses. Then, after several medical tests returned normal, she discovered Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) and Pediatric Acute Onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS). Sadly, their "forever home" was found to be mold-infested, leading to the tough decision to leave and extensively remediate. Despite the pain of discarding most of their belongings due to contamination, Kaycee stresses the importance of health over possessions. We hope Kaycee’s story provides you the hope you need to continue moving forward. IG: @MoldFinders Not sure the best way to get started?
