Episode description

In this episode, you'll get to explore something many of you have been asking for—a full tour of my newly built home in Idaho, designed to be the ultimate environment for health, performance, and longevity.

Joining me is none other than Brian Hoyer from Shielded Healing, a world-class expert in building biology. Together, we’re pulling back the curtain on exactly how I’ve biohacked every inch of this house to optimize recovery, enhance deep sleep, and minimize exposure to modern-day stressors like electromagnetic fields (EMFs).

If you’ve ever wondered what a truly optimized home looks like—this is it. So get ready to take notes, because this episode is packed with game-changing insights that could completely transform the way you think about your own living space. Let’s dive in!

Mindsip insights from this episode:

Open windows to access beneficial infrared light

Standard glass windows, even on a clear day, block the majority of the sun's beneficial infrared light, which you can only get by opening the window or going outside.

Shield rooms with grounding material to prevent EMF exposure

In rooms with high-EMF devices like a Biocharger, grounding material should be placed behind the drywall to act as an insulator, preventing you from becoming a "lightning rod.".

Balance benefits and drawbacks of Low-E windows for optimal energy efficiency

Energy-efficient Low-E windows, which have a silver coating, present a trade-off by blocking beneficial solar infrared light while also dampening some external wireless radiation.

Prioritize sleep consistency over duration for better health

Recent research suggests that maintaining a consistent sleep and wake time is even more important for your health than the total number of hours you sleep.

Shield appliance cords to reduce electric fields

The unshielded power cords on your appliances create electric fields, which can be mitigated by replacing them with shielded cables or using special cable wraps.

Distinguish red light from infrared for therapeutic benefits

Many people mistakenly believe red-colored LED lights provide infrared benefits, but you often need separate incandescent or halogen bulbs to get the actual therapeutic infrared spectrum.

Eliminate EMF exposure with grounded USB chargers

Even three-prong USB chargers can create a high electric field around your body, but specially engineered grounded chargers like the "Safe Charger" can eliminate this exposure.

Create a Faraday cage at home with conductive paint

You can create a Faraday cage in a room by applying a special conductive carbon paint to the walls and grounding it to the home's electrical system, shielding from EMF.
