So a building biologist will go through and do that.
Usually a mold specialist will go through and look for mold.
There's some light bulbs that can be changed out in these main areas where I'm working to allow for something that's more close to sunlight and that can be dimmed or shifted to a red light setting in the morning or the evening.
A building biologist can also go through your home and look at the lighting.
Could you replace modern overhead LED fluorescent lighting, which not only produces a lot of EMF, but also this low level imperceptible flicker that keeps your body in sympathetic nervous system mode with something that's a little more natural, like what's called biological LED or OLED.
There is space here for some HEPA air filtration so that I'm breathing good, clean air in these areas where I'm working or cooking or working out during the day.
There is an opportunity to turn off a few features of smart appliances or even install a few dirty electricity filters in some corners of the office or the bedroom here and there.
And those would be examples of the bulbs I was talking about earlier that we use in our home.
The air quality is typically something that some type of like an HVAC specialist can come and look at and test just to see if you have good adequate air filtration, like a HEPA filter in your home.
And then I guess one last thing that we haven't really talked about yet, but that you should definitely take into consideration is getting your water tested.
and most people right now are pretty aware standard municipal water supply coming out of the tap isn't ideal when it comes to microplastics and metals and your neighbor's pharmaceuticals and whatever else is in the water supply but countertop filter under the sink filter we have gone whole house filtration with both of our homes creme de la creme being reverse osmosis to just get as many of the nasty things out of the water as possible is another thing to consider
You can outfit an existing space with just a good standalone filter.
Two good ones right now are Air Doctor and Jasper.
So usually starting off with some kind of an analysis is important.
And the analysis is usually going to result in you saying,
Okay, there's some mold or mycotoxin here that I can get cleaned up by remediation specialist.
There's some light bulbs that can be changed out in these main areas where I'm working to allow for something that's more close to sunlight and that can be dimmed or shifted to a red light setting in the morning or the evening.
So if we were to go down and make a list, it'd be electricity, light, air, water, chemicals like mold and mycotoxins.
And then you mentioned Dan Buettner and the idea of the blue zones.
There is space here for some HEPA air filtration so that I'm breathing good clean air in these areas where I'm working or cooking or working out during the day.
