    #35 | Decoding EMFs and Building Biology with Zara D’Cotta

    Is your home actually making you sick, or is there more to the story? In this episode, I’m joined by Zara D’Cotta, founder of The Healthy Home, to explore the intersection of traditional construction and human biology. Zara shares the personal health journey that led her to building biology and presents her case for why "sustainable" design doesn’t always equal a healthy living environment. We look at everything from the hidden trade-offs of recycled insulation to EMFs and lots more. The world of EMFs can feel overwhelming and is often met with plenty of scepticism. In this conversation, Zara and I discuss the gap between current building codes and research, so whether you’re a firm believer or still weighing the evidence, this episode is a deep dive into the science, the controversy, and the evolving global standards of EMFs and building biology.

    #32 | Ticking Like a Clock: What Hidden Mould Did to My Son

    We're heading back into the world of mould this week with Tracy Seymour, who spent two years and tens of thousands of dollars trying to work out why her five year old son was developing unexplained neurological tics. The answer was hidden mould in their ceiling. Rather than stopping there, Tracy turned that experience into a mission - founding Break the Mould Inspections to help other families find answers faster than she did. In this episode we talk mould inspection, remediation, and why the mould you can't see is often the most dangerous kind.Find the show notes here Building Sciology Instagram Sponsors Climasure Instagram Enduro Builders Instagram   Join the mailing list here!
