| Why Detoxing is No longer Optional in our Modern World with Detox Expert - Eddie Stone | 28 Jan 2026 | 00:55:26 | |
In this episode of The Healthy Home Show, Charlie Lemmer is joined by detox expert Eddie Stone, CEO and founder of Touchstone Essentials, to explore why detox is no longer optional in modern life. With over 30 years’ experience in the detox and supplements space, Eddie shares how his personal journey into detox began through his mother’s autoimmune health crisis and why today’s toxic load is fundamentally different from anything previous generations faced. Together, Charlie and Eddie unpack what we are actually detoxing from, including heavy metals, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), microplastics, pesticides and everyday chemical exposures found in our air, water, food, clothing and homes. They discuss the concept of “body burden”, how toxins can accumulate over time, and why symptoms such as fatigue, inflammation, hormonal imbalance and autoimmune issues are becoming increasingly common. The conversation covers practical, grounded strategies for supporting the body’s natural detox systems, including hydration, fibre, gut health, movement, breathing, saunas and reducing environmental exposure. Eddie also explains why gut transit time matters, how microplastics enter the body, and why supporting detox should be about consistency rather than extreme protocols. Charlie brings the discussion back to the home environment, highlighting the overlooked role that indoor air quality, water quality, materials and everyday lifestyle choices play in long-term health and longevity. This episode is a calm, evidence-informed conversation about detox without fear or fads, offering listeners a clearer understanding of how to reduce toxic load, support the body, and create environments that allow health to thrive.

In this episode of The Healthy Home Show, Charlie Lemmer is joined by Sam Bowles, co-founder of Pure Maintenance UK, for an in-depth and evidence-based conversation about mould, indoor air quality and human health.

Drawing on his personal health journey and years of professional experience, Sam explains why visible mould is rarely the full problem, how mould spores and mycotoxins build up in our homes over time, and why common approaches such as bleach and surface cleaning often fail to resolve the issue.

| How Healthy is Your First-Aid Cabinet ? - Jodi Scott, Founder of Green Goo | 03 Dec 2025 | 00:47:34 | |
In this eye-opening conversation, Charlie Lemmer sits down with Jodi Scott, co-founder of Green Goo, to explore one of the most overlooked areas of home health: our first-aid and personal care products. Despite the rise of natural skincare and eco-friendly cleaning brands, most households still rely on outdated, chemical-heavy first-aid staples — petroleum ointments, steroid creams, synthetic lubricants and deodorants — often applied to the most absorbent parts of the body. Jodi reveals why the first-aid aisle hasn't changed in over 70 years, and how plant-based formulations can genuinely outperform conventional products without the toxins, preservatives or animal testing that dominate the industry. She shares: • The surprising origins of Green Goo This episode is a powerful reminder that healthy living isn’t just about what we eat — it’s also about what we absorb, what we put on our children’s skin, and what we allow into the sanctuary of our homes.

| Charlie's Interview at The Clean and Tidy Home Show - Safe Havens- Reducing Toxins for Better Health at Home | 03 Nov 2024 | 00:35:34 | |
Hi, I’m Charlie , also known as the "Healthy Home Therapist." As a holistic health coach, my focus is on helping people create toxin-free, sustainable homes. My journey into this work began when I developed an autoimmune disease that was worsened by exposure to toxic building materials. Through detoxing my environment and diet, I was able to reverse my symptoms, which inspired me to help others do the same. In this interview at The Clean and Tidy Home Show , I shared how many household toxins come from everyday products—things like candles, cleaning detergents, fragrances, and even skincare products. These toxins can contribute to long-term health issues, including respiratory and hormone disorders. To address this, I encourage people to focus on four main areas for a healthier home: air, water, plastics, and EMF (electromagnetic field) radiation. Some simple strategies I recommend include opening windows for ventilation, using water filters, limiting plastic use in the kitchen, and cutting off Wi-Fi at night to reduce EMF exposure. While there aren’t many regulations around household toxins, one way to identify healthier products is by looking for certifications like B Corp, which signals ethical practices. My advice is to focus on one change at a time to avoid feeling overwhelmed. For instance, you might start by switching to natural cleaning products or choosing eco-friendly candles with essential oils. I cover these topics on my podcast, The Healthy Home Show, where I delve into essentials like air quality, acoustics, and EMFs, helping listeners learn how to detoxify their spaces for optimal health. In the end, I believe that small, actionable steps—such as reducing tech use in the bedroom and choosing basic, non-toxic products over complex routines—can lead to a much healthier home environment. These gradual changes can make a significant difference in improving home health and well-being. Thanks for listening to the Healthy Home Show Podcast.

| Energise Your Home, Transform Your Life: Modern Feng Shui with Kimberley Gallagher | 28 Aug 2024 | 00:50:48 | |
Introduction to Feng Shui: Kimberley Gallagher from "The Feng Shui Flow" shares her journey into Feng Shui, which began during the global lockdown when she started exploring different ways to improve her mental health. Initially skeptical, she became a believer after seeing positive changes in her life, particularly in her business and home environment, following Feng Shui practices. Understanding Feng Shui: Kimberley explains that Feng Shui is about balancing energy in the home to create harmony and support various aspects of life. It's not just about moving furniture but involves understanding the energy flow in different areas of the home. She compares it to acupuncture for the home, clearing blocks to allow positive energy to flow. Key Areas and Practical Tips:
Energy Flow in the Home: Kimberley emphasises the importance of keeping entrances clear to allow positive energy to enter and suggests using windows or balconies as primary sources of good energy in apartments. Adapting Feng Shui to Modern Living: Kimberley advocates for a modern approach to Feng Shui, encouraging people to choose items that resonate with them rather than sticking strictly to traditional symbols. She believes that when people feel good in their space, they naturally attract positive things into their lives. For those new to Feng Shui, Kimberley recommends starting with decluttering and identifying key areas of the home that correspond to different life aspects. She also advises trusting your gut when choosing a new home, as the right space will naturally feel supportive. Thanks for listening to the Healthy Home Show Podcast.

| A Simple Path to Health: Mindful Walking with Alex Strauss | 14 Aug 2024 | 00:45:32 | |
In this interview, Charlie and Alex discuss the concept of mindful walking and its benefits for both mental and physical health. Alex explains that mindful walking is about being fully present during a walk, without distractions like music or conversation. She emphasizes that this practice combines mindfulness, physical movement, and exposure to nature, which together create a powerful synergy that can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and improve overall well-being. Alex introduces the W.A.L.K. formula—Walk or Wander, Attune, Let Go, and Keep It Up—as a simple guide to incorporating mindful walking into daily routines. She also talks about the benefits of spending time in nature, which has been scientifically proven to reduce anxiety and attention fatigue, a condition many people suffer from due to constant connectivity and distractions. The conversation touches on how people can enjoy mindful walking even in less-than-ideal weather, with Alex encouraging listeners to embrace walking in the rain or simply observing nature from indoors. They also discuss tools that Alex has developed to support this practice, including her book The Mindful Walker and a deck of 52 cards called the Simple Path, which offer different mindful walking activities. Finally, Alex shares that spending more time in nature naturally increases our desire to protect the environment. The pandemic, she notes, has led many to rediscover the outdoors and sparked a greater interest in mindful practices. Charlie and Alex both express hope that these shifts in mindset will continue to grow, fostering a deeper connection between people and the natural world.

| What's Really in Our Period Products? Toxic Tampon Truths with Helen Lynn | 19 Nov 2025 | 00:47:58 | |
How safe are our period products, really? Charlie speaks with campaigner Helen Lynn from the Women’s Environmental Network (WEN) about new findings that detected glyphosate and other concerning chemicals in mainstream tampons and pads — products placed against one of the body’s most absorbent tissues.
