What if the reason you’re tired, foggy, anxious, or constantly getting sick… isn’t stress, hormones, or burnout — but your home?
Raphael from EcoLibria, specialises in testing homes and workplaces for mould, indoor air quality issues, EMFs (electromagnetic fields) and EMR (wireless radiation). This episode is practical, science-backed insight into what’s actually worth paying attention to… and what’s not.
Raphael has worked in this space for 20+ years and shares real case studies that will make you think differently about Wi-Fi routers, baby monitors, smart metres, hidden water leaks and even where you place your bed.
If you’re building, renovating, pregnant, raising kids, working from home, or just tired of feeling tired… this episode will open your eyes.
We cover:
The real difference between EMF (electricity-based fields) and EMR (wireless signals) Whether living near powerlines or 5G towers is something to worry about Why distance and duration matter more than panic The simple swaps that can dramatically reduce EMF exposure in your home Why your bedroom should be the “quietest” room in the house The truth about baby monitors and sleeping near electrical metre boxes Electrical hypersensitivity — and why some people react more than others How EMF exposure may impact sleep, oxidative stress, melatonin and inflammation Why mould is often hidden (and how moisture is always the root cause) Symptoms of mould exposure: fatigue, hormonal disruption, depression, gut issues, skin flare-ups Why one family member can be severely affected by mould while others feel fine The connection between inflammation, environment and long-term health Practical air quality upgrades: ventilation, HEPA filters, rangehoods and reducing VOCs Whether air purifiers are actually necessary
