Lightwork Home Health came to my house a couple of months ago for a comprehensive at-home assessment, and it was eye-opening.
They brought their full suite of diagnostic tools to assess how my living space is impacting my health:
Air Quality & Mold — Measuring particulate matter, CO₂, combustion gases, carbon monoxide, and mold likelihood.
EMFs — Analyzing AC magnetic fields, electric fields, radiofrequency, and dirty electricity for biological impacts.
Lighting — Testing spectrum, color rendering, illuminance, and flicker to optimize circadian rhythm and sleep quality.
Water Quality — On-site assessment plus lab testing for 110+ common contaminants, including PFAS and more.
Your home environment is a MASSIVE piece of your overall health.
It’s where you spend the majority of your time — and where you sleep, eat, rest, and recover.
The air you breathe, the water you drink, the lighting you’re exposed to, and the EMFs that surround you matter way more than most people even realize.
What They Found in My Home
While I’m grateful to have received great results overall, a few subtle stressors still showed up, reminding me that even the cleanest spaces can carry hidden burdens.
Unhealthy AC electrical fields from power strips and my air purifier, especially in my office. These invisible fields are linked to oxidative, neurological, and reproductive stress. I’m swapping a few things out and grounding my cables.
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in my unfiltered tap water. I already drink mineral-rich spring water, so ingestion isn’t an issue, but I’m upgrading my shower filter to an even better shower filter than the one I previously had to reduce exposure via skin and steam.
CO₂ levels between 1100–1500 ppm, a bit high. Suboptimal ventilation can lead to fatigue, brain fog, and headaches. I’m cracking my windows more often when I’m spending time at home.
Blue light and flicker exposure from some of my evening bulbs—subtle, but worth replacing for better sleep and circadian support.
Moderate radiofrequency radiation from both my Wi-Fi and Sonos devices. An easy solution: shutting them off completely at night to let my nervous system fully unwind.
These aren’t huge overhauls by any means.
Just small, intentional shifts.
Why This Matters
When it comes to healing, it’s not just what you put into your body…
…it’s what you surround it with.
Most people have absolutely no idea what they’re living in.
We think we’re doing all “the right things” — eating clean, moving our bodies, taking supplements, managing stress…
But, we don’t even realize that our homes may be the hidden root cause of our fatigue, brain fog, poor sleep, inflammation, weight gain, hormonal disruption, or other nagging concerns.
If you’re serious about detoxification, start with your home.
It’s (obviously) important to detox your body, but your environment has to support it too.

So funny! I literally just began writing a piece this morning on the impacts both toxins and mineral imbalances have on our fibroblastic activity, leading to detriments in our tissue health and movement quality. Keep an eye out for that! 😉 Coming soon!
