Discover the secrets to a healthier home and lifestyle with the insightful Paula Baker-Laporte, who brings a wealth of knowledge from her co-authored masterpiece, "Prescriptions for a Healthy House." Our heartfelt discussion traverses the journey from traditional, potentially hazardous construction practices to those that envelop us in the harmony of nature's embrace. As your host, I open the door to my personal expedition toward natural living, sharing the simple joys and profound benefits of reconnecting with the earth beneath our feet and the invigorating chill of an ice bath.

Embark on a thought-provoking exploration of our living spaces, as we scrutinise the role of foam insulation and radiant heating in our daily comfort and long-term health. With Paula's expertise, we unravel the complex web of modern construction methods that, at times, counteract the very essence of our instinctual needs. Together, we muse over the ancestral pull towards the warmth of a fire and the coolness of natural shade, inspiring a critical reevaluation of the industry's standards that shape our homes.

In our final chapter, we reflect upon the true meaning of building homes that go beyond mere shelter, fostering careers and communities that resonate with a deeper sense of connection and quality. We extend an open invitation to join us as we forge ahead in a collaborative movement towards healthier, more sustainable housing—a testament to the shared vision of wellness and ecological responsibility that Paula and I passionately advocate for. Tune in to experience a convergence of ideas that could redefine the future of home construction.

We're on a mission to elevate the professionalism of the residential construction industry, and help everyone enjoy building and renovating homes.
