In this episode, we're exploring aromatherapy - something that's getting serious scientific attention. When we inhale essential oils, scent molecules travel directly to our brain's emotional center, creating real neurochemical changes. The research is compelling. Johns Hopkins found that certain essential oils can kill Lyme bacteria better than antibiotics. And lavender has particularly strong evidence - multiple studies show that it genuinely improves sleep quality by increasing restorative delta brain waves.

The Veterans Health Administration reviewed 26 systematic studies and found moderate evidence that aromatherapy helps with pain, sleep quality, and stress management. 

That's why we're excited to welcome Amy Jump-Long. Amy is a Licensed Massage Therapist and Certified Clinical Aromatherapist with 15 years of experience. She is the founder of the aromatherapy and wellness business, ReNurture Therapy, and the co-author of Scripture Scents: Essential Oils in the Bible, a book that explores the biblical roots and spiritual significance of essential oils.

Today we're talking about something toxic hiding right under your nose… inside the walls in your home, in fact.

The nasty pink fiberglass insulation contains formaldehyde and binding agents that release harmful VOCs into your home for years. Those tiny glass fibers can become airborne, causing respiratory issues, skin rashes, and eye irritation. Studies link long-term exposure to fiberglass to serious health conditions.

But what if there's a better alternative that's been around for thousands of years? Something that won’t harm you, your family, or the planet. A material that naturally regulates moisture, reduces noise, resists fire, and actually helps clean your indoor air.

We explore why wool insulation is superior for homes and commercial buildings. Joining us is Andrew W. Legge, founder of Havelock Wool, who's passionate about New Zealand wool and creating positive change in the building industry.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

1. What homeowners must consider when choosing healthy insulation
2. The main different insulation products
3. Common toxic materials found in conventional insulation
4. How insulation materials affect indoor air quality and occupant health
5. The sustainable and non-toxic insulation options available
6. Differences in the installation process with wool
7. Why wool has been growing in popularity as an insulation material
8. How poor air quality can contribute to mental fatigue or other cognitive issues
9. The short-term and long-term benefits of healthier building materials
10. Misconceptions homeowners have about “green” or sustainable materials when it comes to insulation
11. What homeowners or renovators should look for when choosing healthy materials

Is your family dying for color? We're diving into the world of RED dyes in our food supply. Did you know that Red Dye #3 has been linked to cancer in lab rats? And while there was a recent FDA ban on Red Dye #3, manufacturers have until January 2027 to eliminate it—and drug manufacturers have until 2028! That's years of continued exposure. And then there's Red Dye #40 or FD&C Red No. 40, a synthetic dye made from petroleum! And it's everywhere: dairy, sweets, cereal, juice, soda, and even cosmetics. The FDA approved it back in 1971, but it's been linked to hyperactivity in children, ADHD, and allergic reactions.

Our guest, Amy Elohim, is a Board-Certified Functional Health Practitioner and founder of Restored Identity. She helps others reclaim their health through natural remedies, functional medicine, and spiritual restoration. Amy is the author of Back to the Herbal Basics and hosts her own podcast.
