Healthy Home Hacks Podcast

Today we're talking about something toxic hiding right under your nose… inside the walls in your home, in fact. The nasty pink fiberglass insulation contains formaldehyde and binding agents that release harmful VOCs into your home for years. Those tiny glass fibers can become airborne, causing respiratory issues, skin rashes, and eye irritation. Studies link long-term exposure to fiberglass to serious health conditions. But what if there's a better alternative that's been around for thousands of years? Something that won't harm you, your family, or the planet. A material that naturally regulates moisture, reduces noise, resists fire, and actually helps clean your indoor air. We explore why wool insulation is superior for homes and commercial buildings. Joining us is Andrew W. Legge, founder of Havelock Wool, who's passionate about New Zealand wool and creating positive change in the building industry.   KEY TAKEAWAYS What homeowners must consider when choosing healthy insulation The main different insulation products Common toxic materials found in conventional insulation How insulation materials affect indoor air quality and occupant health The sustainable and non-toxic insulation options available Differences in the installation process with wool Why wool has been growing in popularity as an insulation material How poor air quality can contribute to mental fatigue or other cognitive issues The short-term and long-term benefits of healthier building materials Misconceptions homeowners have about “green” or sustainable materials when it comes to insulation What homeowners or renovators should look for when choosing healthy materials àFriends, to learn more about the incredible benefits of wool insulation, head over to https://havelockwool.com! àAs always, be sure to head to HealthyHomeHacks.com for all of the links and show notes.

Is your family dying for color? We're diving into the world of RED dyes in our food supply. Did you know that Red Dye #3 has been linked to cancer in lab rats? And while there was a recent FDA ban on Red Dye #3, manufacturers have until January 2027 to eliminate it—and drug manufacturers have until 2028! That's years of continued exposure. And then there's Red Dye #40 or FD&C Red No. 40, a synthetic dye made from petroleum! And it's everywhere: dairy, sweets, cereal, juice, soda, and even cosmetics. The FDA approved it back in 1971, but it's been linked to hyperactivity in children, ADHD, and allergic reactions. Our guest, Amy Elohim, is a Board-Certified Functional Health Practitioner and founder of Restored Identity.

LA is under an unprecedented siege of wildfires. Ron and I decided to republish this critically important episode on wildfire dangers, including what you can do to protect yourself and your loved ones. Many people are now without homes, cars, and belongings, while local schools and businesses have been burned to the ground; most affected people are just trying to survive with in many cases just the shirts on their backs. Smoke can travel miles beyond its source. In 2020, smoke from wildfires in the Western United States drifted for almost 5,000 miles, eventually being detected as far away as Europe. That's important when considering that smoke inhalation is the primary cause of death from wildfires; according to the National Fire Protection Association, 50 to 80 percent of fire deaths are from smoke inhalation. Keeping your air clean even if you don't reside in Southern California is essential! Use the right certified masks outdoors and air purifiers indoors. We'll include links to these resources and offer discounts. Our guest and CEO of IQAir North America, Glory Dolphin Hammes, is an expert in environmental control, a Certified Indoor Environmentalist, and a licensed HVAC contractor.

Our guest has found that the key to living your best life lies in identifying your unconscious programming—driven by your personality type—and overcoming its limitations. In her new book, YOUR VITALITY PERSONALITY: Decode the Real You and Hack Into Happiness, Candice Thomas, an award-winning holistic health professional, Enneagram researcher, and international speaker, asserts that, “Decoding your secret inner programming and releasing self-sabotage allows you to discover the most potent and mighty aspects of yourself. It allows you to consciously see what has previously been hidden within your unconscious – power, love, genius.”  Candice further explains that there are two opposing aspects to someone's personality type – “The Real You” and “Your Primal Persona.” The latter causes people to live in a permanent state of survival mode causing them to make reactive choices. With YOUR VITALITY PERSONALITY, Candice helps people break free of their Primal Persona and access their Vitality Personality – the most enlightened version of their personality type. Candice holds a bachelor's degree in molecular and cellular biology, a master's degree in acupuncture, and certifications as an Enneagram Accredited Professional and Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique Practitioner.  KEY TAKEAWAYS 1.

Where there's smoke, there's fire. And, guess what friends? It's wildfire season. Think you don't live in an area that's affected? Think again. Smoke can travel for miles beyond its source. In 2020, smoke from wildfires in the Western United States drifted for almost 5,000 miles, eventually being detected as far away as Europe. That's important when considering that the primary cause of death from wildfires is smoke inhalation; according to the National Fire Protection Association, 50 to 80 percent of fire deaths are from smoke inhalation. Our guest and CEO of IQAir North America, Glory Dolphin Hammes, is an expert in environmental control, a Certified Indoor Environmentalist, and a licensed HVAC contractor.

Do you or have you suffered from allergies, chronic sinus issues, dry nose with chronic crusting (yup, we're going there), or use a CPAP machine? If so, you are in the right place. Today, we're taking a deep dive into your nose, no really!  The health of our nose is often overlooked as an important aspect of our overall health.  When we breathe through the nose, germs, allergens, toxins, smoke, dust, and particles can get trapped in the skin and hair inside our nostrils.

Spring has officially sprung and for most of us, that means (you guessed it!) spring cleaning! If you have a pile of laundry waiting for you to scrub, suds, fluff, and fold, you're not alone. In the U.S., 660 million laundry loads are washed every week, totaling a whopping 35 billion loads each year. But, have you ever considered what's lurking in your laundry detergent? Could your laundry detergent be toxic to your health and the environment (hint: yes). From phosphates and dyes to synthetic surfactants, optical brighteners, parabens, synthetic fragrances, and chlorine, your conventional laundry detergent brand is likely exposing you and your family to a host of toxic chemicals, allergens, respiratory irritants, hormone disruptors, and maybe even a cancer-causing chemical. Not to mention the plastic waste that your laundry jug is adding to landfills. To add fuel to the laundry jug fire, this plastic can take more than 100 years to break down. But the environmental buck doesn't stop there. Laundry detergent is a major source of microplastic pollution, with a single load releasing up to 700,000 microplastic fibers into the water. Yikes! Our guest, Anita Spiller, leads ESG for Tru Earth, a Certified B Corp global household cleaning product company, Anita focuses on eliminating household single-use plastics, battling microplastics, and donating earth-friendly products to organizations in need.

Nikola Tesla referred to "scalar energy" as "radiant energy" and felt that this was the primal force in the universe. Our guest, Tom Paladino, describes scaler light as the natural energy from the Sun as well as the stars; the fundamental life force found everywhere in the world, space, and universe. Chi, prana, OM, mana, life force, pyramid energy, or zero-point energy are all synonymous terms for scalar energy. Tom Paladino began his research with scalar energy during his undergraduate years Inspired by various scientists, especially Tesla.
