The Hidden Health Crisis in Our Walls with Paul Kealey

In this episode we are talking about a greatly overlooked determinant of health — your home. We obsess over food, supplements, exercise, sleep… but what if the very walls around you are either supporting your biology — or silently stressing it? My guest today is Paul Kealey, founder and president of EkoBuilt and the architect of the “House is Medicine” system. For nearly two decades, he has been pioneering the design and construction of low-energy Passive House and Net-Zero homes that don’t just save energy — they actively improve air quality, reduce mold risk, stabilize temperature, calm the nervous system, and support long-term health. We spend up to 90% of our lives indoors. Think about the impact on our health if the home we live in could reduce inflammation, improve sleep, and even prevent chronic illness? Learning Points: • Why your home is a biological environment • Mold & poor air quality are design failures — not just bad luck • Passive & Net-Zero homes are about health — not just energy savings Social Media: https://ekobuilt.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-kealey-17614529/
