Ben Greenfield interviews building biologist Brian Hoyer in a home-tour episode demonstrating how to create a health-optimized home. They cover measurement tools (RF meters, flicker meters, spectrometer, body-voltage meters), EMF shielding methods (grounded conductive paint from Germany, copper subshield floors, terra mesh under tile, Faraday-style room shielding, window films or shielding fabric), grounding strategies (grounded paint, grounded USB outlets, grounded travel chargers, grounding mats and braided grounding connections), cable shielding and shielded replacement cables, and practical device-level fixes (grounded USB outlets/safe chargers, remote/timers to cut power). They also demo lighting approaches: adjustable flicker-free LEDs for daytime/evening, halogen/infrared bulbs and red/infrared panels to approximate outdoor spectrum, and flicker testing (sunlight used as no-flicker baseline). The episode emphasizes prioritizing bedrooms and offices for shielding, using hardwired Ethernet where possible, and stepwise mitigation (start with sleeping space). Product demos include Shielding Shop items (SafeCharge USB outlets, grounded chargers, red-string lights, Goldilocks therapy lamp), and Brian offers testing/consulting services and product development.
