Could the real source of your chronic symptoms be hidden inside your own home—in the air you breathe and the walls around you?

In this episode, Dr. Aaron Hartman and Dr. Christian Jenski open up about their personal experiences uncovering hidden environmental toxins in their homes. What started as strange smells and persistent health symptoms turned into a deep investigation of indoor air quality, mold contamination, water damage, radon, chemical off-gassing, and other hazards that can quietly impact long-term health.

They walk through the step-by-step process of discovering issues in their crawlspaces, attics, plumbing, ventilation systems, and appliances, along with the emotional, physical, and financial challenges involved in remediation. Their stories reveal how much our living environments influence chronic disease, immune function, sleep, childhood wellbeing, and overall healing capacity.

This is an essential episode for anyone navigating chronic illness, unexplained symptoms, or concerns about environmental toxicity in their home.
