Resources
My goal at Vibrant Market is to be a resource for people on all avenues of their own personal wellness and healing journey. At Vibrant Market, I not only try and select the best of the best products to make your health, skin, and lives more vibrant, but I try my best to be a resource (and share resources) that go beyond what we sell at Vibrant. I want to empower our community to continue to learn, thrive, and heal through means of different books, doctors, practitioners, podcasts, thought leaders, and more. I have compiled these resources over years, and shared them with you all in store, but excited to finally have one succinct place where you can reference-- organized and categorized! I will continue to update this space.
I want to add, no one person should ever necessarily be your guru. Just because you disagree with them on one thing, does not mean there is immense value in other knowledge and perspectives they share, and vice versa. Learn what you can from people and be discerning. And always remember-- humans health journeys are not cookie cutter. You always need to look at your health as a bioindividual, and always look upstream of the problem instead of treating the symptoms.
As always...
Stay Vibrant!

Tests
Mymycolab: Test yourself. The most accurate way to test your body for mycotoxins (the toxins that come from mold). This test is an ELISA test, and the company was started by Dr. Andrew Campbell. It is a serum (blood) anti-body test, that tests IgE (current exposure that may lead to mast cell activation) and IgG (recurrent or past exposure and probable colonization) antibodies to 14 different mycotoxins.

https://www.acac.org/find: Find an accredited CIEC inspector in your area.You ideally want someone CIEC certified (Indoor Environmental
Investigation & Consulting) and also CMC certified (Microbial
Investigation & Consulting). This assures they are fully equipped with building science knowledge, and microbial and mold knowledge. You do not want a company that both tests and remediates, that should be two separate companies. The inspector should be able to give you a protocol and point you in the direction of the best remediation companies.
