Your house might be making you sick from mold, carcinogens, and hormone-disrupting chemicals you can't see or smell. It doesn't have to be this way!
This guide shows you how and gives you the confidence to build a healthy home. You'll learn how to build a home that can dry out instead of trapping moisture that leads to mold.
You will also learn how to swap the everyday toxic building materials for safer, more natural materials, but nothing wacky or less expensive than you think.
What's inside (quick bullets):
How to choose materials that dry out and prevent mold.
How to minimize VOCs, hormone disruptors, and toxic chemicals found in common building materials.
What kitchen and bath finishes are the least toxic.
How to design your water supply system to reduce toxins and provide clean and healthy water to cook, drink, and bathe in.
I have been in construction for over a decade, but I never knew the dangers of mold until it made me sick. Since then, I have dedicated my life to learning how to build healthy and beautiful homes that will help me and my family feel good and live a long time.
This guide is everything I have learned. It's the guide that I wish I had back when I got into healthy building. Now I am making it available to everyone.
