Ep 115 | The materials and construction that go into a home matter. So does its energy. Brian Johnson builds healthy homes that account for both, with small steps that work whether you're breaking ground or already moved in.Most healthy-home advice stops at non-toxic paint and a water filter. Brian goes deeper. A licensed contractor for 23+ years, he merges building science with building biology into a 12-principle framework for homes that don't just avoid harm, they support how you sleep, breathe, and feel. Jen and Brian discuss mold, EMFs, water, light, quantum energy, and why the walls around you matter more than you think.This episode is for anyone who wants their home to support their health, whether you're building from the ground up, house-hunting, mid-renovation, or you just want the place you already live to feel better. No blueprint or big budget required.

Send us Fan MailWe spend roughly 90% of our lives indoors, but how often are our homes actually designed with our health in mind?In this episode of Never Been Sicker, Michael Rubino sits down with Kelly Grace, a non-toxic architect, to uncover what goes into creating a truly healthy home.Kelly explains why conventional architecture and building practices often prioritize cost, aesthetics, efficiency, and basic safety while overlooking how materials and design choices can affect the people living inside.They dive into building materials, moisture and mold, ventilation, flooring, drywall, furniture, mattresses, air quality, and the hidden decisions that can make the difference between a beautiful home and a health-supporting one.Kelly also reveals materials she personally avoids, why she believes drywall has no place in bathrooms, the problems she sees with popular flooring options like LVP, and why even brand-new homes can develop moisture problems.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction01:00 What Is a Non-Toxic Architect?04:00 Why Kelly Started Designing Healthier Homes07:00 Are Modern Homes Actually Built for Health?10:00 The Problem With Conventional Building Materials14:00 Mold, Moisture & Modern Construction18:00 Why Kelly Wouldn't Put Drywall in a Bathroom22:00 Building Codes vs. Human Health26:00 The Ventilation Problem30:00 Flooring a Non-Toxic Architect Avoids34:00 Hidden Toxins in Furniture & Mattresses39:00 Why New Homes Can Still Have Mold44:00 Building a Healthy Home From Scratch49:00 Healthier Changes You Can Make Right Now54:00 Kelly's Biggest Healthy Home Takeaways57:00 Where to Find Kelly Grace-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Kelly Grace is an accomplished architect based out of Washington DC, and the Managing Principal of Travis Price Architects, an award-winning architecture firm, widely applauded for their visionary aesthetics, informed by ecology, mythology, and technology.  TPA seeks to create an enduring archaeology for tomorrow, through culturally diverse inspirations, natural self-reliance, and high-performance building practices.Kelly is known to many as the “NONTOXARCHITECT” on social media, where she shares her advice on material selections, design details, indoor air quality, water filtration, biohacking, EMF mitigation, moisture control, and much more.  She is dedicated to designing healthy buildings, using non-toxic products, to promote wellness habits and optimal living.  Kelly is also a Founding Member of the Healthy Building Alliance, an up-and-coming platform to connect healthy building professionals; architects, builders, engineers, homeowners, consultants, and product manufacturers, to provide a network of resources and educational tools, based on proven building biology and building science principles.Kelly and her husband Matt live in Davidsonville, MD with their three children, Atlas, Adelyn, and Roark, twenty chickens, and dogs Blue and Ruby.

Creating a Healthier Home: Indoor Air Purification and Reverse Osmosis Water Safety. Environmental and wellness expert Helen Christoni discusses reducing toxic exposures at home through improved indoor air and water quality. Christoni describes her health crisis—severe osteoporosis at 42 and multiple fractures—which she attributes to chronic artificial fragrance exposure in beauty product development, and how purifying air and water helped her recover and later complete multiple marathons. They discuss indoor air hazards such as VOCs (including formaldehyde), microplastics, wildfire smoke particles, and the importance of using a sealed, high-grade HEPA (down to 0.003 microns) plus substantial carbon filtration, proper room sizing, and filter maintenance; they caution against relying on ionizers or UV add-ons. On water, Christoni urges reverse osmosis to address contaminants including lead, PFAS, pharmaceuticals, and arsenic, noting boiling concentrates pollutants; they also discuss shower filtration for chlorine/chloramines.

Send us Fan MailWhat if the reason you feel happier in summer has very little to do with summer itself?Every year we naturally begin walking more, gathering more, cooking differently, opening the windows, eating outside and lingering just a little longer. Most people assume those changes happen because it's summer.But what if the environment changes first—and our behaviour follows?In this episode, I explore the hidden relationship between our homes, our habits, and the feeling of summer. Rather than decorating with seasonal trends, we'll look at how thoughtful interior design can recreate the conditions that make us feel healthier, calmer, more connected and more alive—long after summer ends.Drawing on research around environmental cues, behaviour, lifestyle and sensory design, you'll learn practical ways to design your home so it naturally encourages better living every single day.Because your home doesn't simply reflect your life.It teaches you how to live. In this episode you'll learn: Why summer changes our behaviour more than we realise  How your environment quietly shapes your daily habits  Simple design decisions that make your home feel more open and connected  Why reducing "friction" changes how you use your home  How to create spaces that encourage gathering without formal entertaining  Ways to bring ordinary daily rituals outdoors  The importance of sensory design—from light and airflow to texture and sound  How to preserve the best parts of summer throughout every season  Why beautiful homes should ultimately change how you experience life—not just how it looks If you've ever wished your home felt lighter, calmer and more alive, this episode will change the way you think about design.Collected.

Our conversation picks up where we left off explaining more of the five principles and then gets into how Environmental health is impacting the building of homes. EnjoyHayward Score Healthy Home Director Carl Grimes, has a unique combination of experiences. He has personal experience of the disabling impact of an unhealthy home, and professional experience working in the Indoor Air Quality field. Both these experiences lead him to the Hayword Score where they are helping people live healthier lives by first believing in the negative health experiences they are having in their home, and second by offering a tool that can help homeowners understand these experiences.

Jaws of Justice Radio investigates how we can achieve justice from a system of laws deeply rooted in economic, social and political inequality.  We want to dispel misconceptions created by the news and entertainment industry, politicians and our educational system. We hope you will listen. Host Bev Livingston speaks with her guest, Lora McDonald, Executive Director of Metro Organization for Racial and Economic Equity, better known as “MORE Squared”.  Lora McDonald has served as a social worker in metropolitan Kansas City for three decades. In her early career, she worked in a Missouri state prison; licensed foster and adoptive families; and served youth who were street homeless. McDonald's career evolved to developing and implementing programs, ranging from crisis intervention with adoptive families to creating community gardens; more recently, McDonald was the architect of the Second Chance Program for people returning from incarceration.  While designing Second Chance, she would organize the Kansas City Metropolitan Reentry Coalition in order to address policies that impeded the success of people with criminal histories.  Around the same time, she was introduced to MORE2 and the National Leadership Training from the Gamaliel Network. She has been Ex. Dir of More² since 2012, and during that time, the organization has won many victories, expanded into Kansas, and sustained a significant ongoing public presence through a myriad of issues. Lora McDonald was the lead organizer who beat back a plan to collapse KCPS for an all-charter school model; she wrote the bill and led statewide organizing to win food stamps for people with drug convictions; and drove the campaign that established the first tenant's rights in Kansas City, Missouri with the passage of Healthy Homes. MORE2 is recognized as one of the leading organizations for police reform in the metro, specifically focused on accountability and transparency in Kansas City, Kansas, and local control of Kansas City Police Department. Bev and Lora will talk about the More² Gubernatorial Forum, Voting Rights for Formerly Incarcerated people and on June 2nd, a Jail Bill of Rights coming up before the legislature in Jackson County for a final vote. Then, Host Keith Brown El will talk with our NEW Host, Justice Johnson, about jails in Jackson County MO and Kansas City MO as we try to keep listeners informed of the changes being made in our local incarceration system. On Jaws of Justice, we examine how to find justice in our society.  Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.

This week, Pastor Nate Holder shared how before God established the church, He established the home. Through scripture and practical encouragement, we explored how discipleship isn’t just something added to our schedules — it’s something woven into the everyday rhythms of family life. From prayer and worship to conversations around the dinner table, healthy homes are built when we intentionally point the next generation toward Jesus.

Matt Risinger welcomes Kristof Irwin of Positive Energy for a deep discussion on the relationship between HVAC design, moisture management, and high-performance construction. Irwin explains how modern homes require a systems-based approach, where airtight enclosures, ventilation, and properly sized mechanical equipment all work together to improve comfort and indoor air quality. The conversation also covers humidity control, energy modeling, and the growing need for testing and verification as building standards evolve. Matt and Kristof discuss how builders, architects, and HVAC professionals coordinate early in the design phase to avoid performance issues later in construction.  Huge thanks to our episode sponsor,  JELD-WEN.

Scripture Text: Ephesians 6:1-4 Sunday, May 10, 2026 Sermon Discussion Guides Morningside Church, Tallahassee (morningsidetlh.org)

What does a healthy home actually look like? This Sunday, Pastor Jon walks through Ephesians 6:1–4 and shows us that healthy homes don't happen by accident—they're cultivated on purpose. Like a garden, your home needs attention, intention, and care. In this message, you'll discover how children and parents both play a role in building something that lasts—and how God designed your family to be a place where faith grows and lives are shaped.

Most families haven't stopped talking, they've just stopped talking to each other. The natural moments that used to create connection are gone, replaced by constant noise and distraction, and no one has really stepped in to lead what comes next. In this episode, Pastor Q breaks down why conversation in the home is fading, how digital life is quietly pulling people apart, and why this is less about technology and more about focus. He gets into what silence actually does inside a family, how it creates distance and insecurity, and why words, real face to face conversation, still carry the weight nothing else can. If things feel off at home and you can't quite name it, this will help you see it clearly and give you a simple way to start fixing it.

Feeling overwhelmed trying to keep up with all the "must-have" wellness products, routines, and swaps? What if creating a healthier home and lifestyle isn't about doing more—but learning what actually matters for you? In this episode, you'll hear why more women are stepping away from wellness overload and how simplifying your home environment can bring more clarity, peace, and real results.

Since July last year, it's been compulsory for all rental properties to be up to scratch with the standards, which set minimum requirements for heating, insulation, ventilation, moisture ingress and drainage. But with no qualification needed to tick off each of the standards, pretty much anyone is able to call themselves a healthy homes assessor. It's raised questions as to whether the standards are doing what they're meant to - ensure rental properties are safe, warm and dry. Bella Craig reports.

In this insightful and forward-looking conversation with Taleen Josefsson, Principal of TAJ Architecture Studio and Founder of Holistic Design Consultancy, we explore what it truly means to design and build healthy homes.Taleen shares how her holistic approach to architecture, shaped by her multicultural background and international experience, blends aesthetics, performance, and wellness to create spaces that nurture both people and the planet.Mentioned in this episode:TAJ Architecture StudioThe Holistic Architect on IGThe Holistic Architect on TikTokThe Holistic Architect on YoutubeArchitects Climate Action NetworkNew York School of Interior DesignCenter for Alternative TechnologiesHave thoughts or comments to share?

An interview with Dr. Eva KingOur homes are indoor environments of our own making. These environments exist to make our lives better but often unintentionally expose us to contaminants—chemical and microbial—that harm our health and wellbeing. For genetically susceptible individuals, these routine exposures can trigger a breakdown in the body's natural tolerance, leading to chronic inflammatory and neurological symptoms such as CIRS, TILT, and PANS/PANDAS. In a sadly apt metaphor, we are the canaries and our home is the coal mine. Today, we are joined by a frontline expert in this field, Dr. Eva King. Eva holds a Masters in Biochemistry and a Doctorate in Immunology/Epidemiology from the University of Oxford. She has dedicated more than two decades investigating the intersection of indoor environments and human health. Her focus is helping clients with underlying medical conditions identify and address building-related issues that contribute to their health problems. This interview is fuel for the journey to flip our indoor environments from being a major contributor to chronic disease to becoming a primary solution. This is a central and sobering topic for all of us with agency in the AEC. Please listen and share.Eva KingDr. Eva King, principal and founder of AURA EnviroScience, has been involved in investigations and research into indoor environments and health, allergens, asthma and immunology for about 20 years. Her work has been published in many peer-reviewed scientific publications, and she regularly presents at conferences and workshops.Her focus is helping clients with underlying medical conditions identify building-related problems that contribute to their health issues, often by direct physician referral.Dr. King received her Master in Biochemistry in her native Germany, and her Doctorate in Immunology/Epidemiology from the University of Oxford, UK, and is a Council-certified Indoor Environmental Consultant (CIEC, ACAC #180311). She is a member of ASHRAE, the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA), American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH), and the International Society of Indoor Air Quality and Climate (ISIAQ), and previously served on the Board of Directors and as Technical Conference Chair of the Indoor Air Quality Association.TeamHosted by Kristof IrwinEdited by Nico MignardiProduced by M.

Your body resets hormones and repairs itself while you sleep — but your bedroom environment may quietly interfere with that process. In Part 3 of the What Touches Your Skin 24/7? series, we look at how bedding, mattresses, and bedroom air quality can influence sleep, hormones, and recovery — and why natural fibers and healthier sleep surfaces deserve a closer look.

Your house may be the most comfortable place in the entire world for you, but it could still be hiding several health hazards that must be promptly addressed.
