In this episode of Never Been Sicker, Michael Rubino sits down with Christy Hutchison, a realtor who specializes in helping people impacted by mold illness and CIRS find homes they can actually heal in.
Christy shares her personal journey of years of unexplained symptoms, how she realized the environment was a major factor, and why she now approaches real estate completely differently. Together, they break down what most inspections miss, why “new” homes are not automatically safer, and the exact strategies Christy uses to protect her clients during the buying process.
You will learn:
1. Why standard home inspections often miss hidden water damage
2. How to build an inspection “super team” (roof, HVAC, mold, and more)
3. Common red flags in homes, even in newer builds
4. How PTSD and nervous system stress show up after mold exposure
5. Practical prevention tools like leak sensors, trays, and humidity monitoring
6. How The Guardian works as an indoor air quality monitoring and alert system
7. Christy’s goal is simple: help people avoid the path she went through and give them real hope that safe homes exist.
