Our Non-Toxic Home Renovation: All Your Questions Answered | Ep 184

For the first time ever, Erin’s husband (and web designer, and home reno wrangler) Scott is joining her on the mic to talk about their home reno project. Erin received so many questions about how they navigated this project with health in mind, so they sat down together to bring you all the answers in this episode!Because these questions aren’t normally asked when people are building or renovating homes, Erin and Scott had to navigate through much of this on their own—and are bringing their experience and newfound knowledge to you! They are by no means experts, but they surely learned a lot along the way! Tune in to hear the products and techniques they used, and advice to help make your next home project a safe and toxic-free one. (Plus, a bonus segment from Scott on advice he would give to someone who may be resistant to prioritizing a healthy eating, non-toxic lifestyle.)In this episode:-Rigby Home Giveaway Announcement [1:40]-Getting partners onboard with a healthy eating, non-toxic lifestyle [2:29]-What to avoid with autoimmunity or chemical sensitivities [3:43]-Sustainable cookware & dinnerware [5:27]-Our budgetary and investment decisions [8:43]-Getting started: Design, Building and Installation [13:45]-Floor materials and coatings [16:35]-Paint that prioritizes air quality [22:18]-Using an air filter for off-gassing & steps to reinforce detox pathways [23:25]-Sustainable, non-porous and low-maintenance counters [24:00]-Cabinets & an awesome resource of questions to ask for a toxic-free home [25:30]-Furniture & how to check for added chemicals like flame retardants [27:26]-Venting about the process & things to be mindful of [29:32]-Bonus segment from Scott on resistance to prioritizing a healthy eating, non-toxic lifestyle [36:16]FOR OUR FULL LIST OF LINKS + RESOURCES, HEAD TO: https://www.erinholthealth.com/funktional-nutrition-podcast/2021/12/3/episode-184-our-non-toxic-home-renovation-all-your-questions-answered
