Paul Kealey says the real cost of a new home shows up in energy bills, air quality, and your health.Paul Kealey joins Jen to talk about why a newer home isn't automatically a healthier one, and what's really driving the mold and air quality problems hiding behind so many walls. We get into passive house design, his BURDEN framework for the hidden stressors in your home, and the real, current mold story unfolding in Jen's own family right now.🕒 In this episode:[00:00] – Intro[09:10] – Passive house design and the five principles behind it[13:17] – Testing for mold and radon, and what most people miss[20:05] – Why "new" doesn't mean "healthy": the farmhouse vs. new-build myth[23:30] – Jen's family mold story, and what the storm exposed[27:50] – Symptoms to watch for: fatigue, brain fog, poor sleep, allergies[30:05] – Paul's BURDEN framework and the hidden stressors in your home[35:05] – House as medicine, and where to start[39:30] – Where to find Paul and EkoBuiltIf you've never once considered that your house could be the reason you feel off, this conversation is going to change that.✨ This episode is for you if:You've wondered why an old farmhouse can have better air quality than a brand-new buildYou've dealt with mold, allergies, brain fog, or poor sleep and can't pin down whyYou're building, renovating, or buying and want to know what questions to ask firstYou think your home should be supporting your health, not working against itMeet Paul Kealey:Paul Kealey is the founder of EkoBuilt and a Certified Passive House Consultant who has spent nearly two decades building high-performance homes across North America. He believes the real cost of homeownership shows up after move-in: energy bills, maintenance failures, air quality problems, and retrofits nobody budgeted for.

    🎙️Ep 66 Perimenopause, Gut Health & Weight Release After 40 with Stacey Bean | Encore EpisodeAfter decades in allopathic medicine, Stacey Bean realized something was missing. Her own struggles with perimenopause, grief, and stubborn health challenges led her to functional medicine, gestalt coaching, and a whole new way of helping people heal.In this encore conversation, Stacey and I talk about her pivot from the ER to integrative wellness, the healing power of horses, gut health, hormones, and why true transformation goes way beyond “eat less, move more.” 🕒 In this episode: [08:45] – Stacey’s path from emergency medicine to functional wellness [12:30] – The tragic med-flight crash that changed everything [14:30] – Gestalt work with horses and why it heals on a cellular level [25:15] – Her personal story of reversing prediabetes and releasing 35 pounds [41:05] – Gut health, perimenopause, and hormone balance tipsGuest Bio: Stacey holds an M.D. from the University of Vermont College of Medicine, a Master’s degree in Exercise Physiology from UC Berkeley, and multiple certifications in Women’s Hormone and Gut Health from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. After over a decade in western medicine and more than 30 years in the health and wellness industry, she realized something was missing. Stacey’s personal journey through perimenopause—marked by brain fog, fatigue, stubborn weight gain, and feeling unwell despite “normal” labs—pushed her to explore a different approach. That’s when everything changed.Stacey expanded her knowledge and became certified in Functional Medicine, Gestalt Coaching, and other root-cause healing methods. These tools, combined with her integrative approach, helped her heal at the root level—and she’s passionate about helping others do the same. Whether they’re navigating menopause, struggling with metabolic health, gut health, or simply looking to reclaim their vitality, Stacey combines root-cause healing, nutrition, fitness, and mindset work with a touch of Gestalt principles to create a unique path to wellness through her practice, Indigo & Sage Functional Wellness.

Her goal is to educate and empower her clients to take charge of their health and embrace the vibrant, fulfilling life they deserve.

    The Superfood You’re Missing: Algae for Energy, Longevity, and Detox

    Ep 65 | Why Algae Is the Missing Link in Your Health with Catharine ArnstonLooking for more energy, detox, and glowing skin? Algae may be holding the upgrade your body’s been craving.In this episode, I sit down with Catharine Arnston, founder of EnergyBits, to talk about the powerhouse duo: spirulina + chlorella. We cover:12:09 – Why algae is a food not a supplement16:15 – My personal algae story & how Catharine and I met20:00 – How this algae is different than the one that shuts down your beach22:51 – Spirulina vs. Chlorella: what’s the difference?28:35 – The science of algae & cancer prevention45:40 – How algae supports menopause, mitochondria & brain health1:03:10 – Mold, detox, and why chlorella is “health insurance”Catharine’s passion for algae is contagious. You’ll hear why NASA and biohackers worldwide swear by these tiny green tablets and the science behind them.✨ Takeaways:Spirulina = energy + focus + proteinChlorella = detox + recovery + mold/heavy metal supportAlgae is food, not a supplement: nutrient-dense, effortless, sustainableMeet Catharine Arnston:Catharine Arnston is an expert in algae nutrition, a wellness thought leader, an experienced entrepreneur, and a sought-after speaker. Catharine has a PhD, MBA, BA Hons, and is a board-certified health coach.Catharine's journey into the fascinating world of algae began in 2008 when her younger sister was diagnosed with breast cancer and advised by her oncologist that an alkaline diet would improve her healing. Catharine left her 25- year corporate career, leading her to algae - the most alkaline, chlorophyll-rich, high-protein, nutrient-dense food in the world. When Catharine learned that algae's vast healing properties were documented in tens of thousands of scientific studies but that none of these studies or benefits were known outside of Asia, she knew she needed to do something. And so ENERGYbits® was born. Catharine has spent the last fifteen years researching algae, writing papers, giving presentations, lecturing at conferences, and speaking on 300+ podcasts to explain the benefits of algae. To do this, she read thousands of scientific papers that detailed, validated, and confirmed algae's nutritional, health, longevity, and global benefits.  It is Catharine's vision and passion to change this and her PhD in natural health has given her the scientific fluency that allows her to explain algae with such simplicity and clarity, it quickly becomes obvious why algae is something we all urgently need.
