290. Mike Feldstein: The 5 Hidden Air Pollutants in Your Home and How To Fix It!

You'd think the dirtiest air you breathe all day is outside, but Mike Feldstein showed me it's the opposite. The average home is usually 5 to 10 times dirtier than the air outside, and since the 1970s we've built homes airtight for energy efficiency, so every new couch, rug, and coat of paint off-gasses right where you live. In a study of 150 people, just cleaning the bedroom air got them 25 more minutes of sleep a night and 18% more deep sleep. If you've been waking up tired, foggy, or congested and can't figure out why, don't start with your bloodwork. Start with the tank you're living in.
