Redefining Wellness: How Your Home Might Be Undermining Your Health, with Risa Suzuki

We treat wellness like something to buy or achieve in 30 days. Host Ria talks with building biology consultant Risa Suzuki about why your home environment might be working against your health, even when everything on paper looks fine.

Risa shares how she uncovered her own hidden home health triggers, why you don't need to overhaul your entire house, and a simple way to start with just one or two obvious changes.

About the Guest:

Risa Suzuki is a certified Building Biology Environmental Consultant and author of What the EMF? She spent 25+ years at Microsoft before her own health journey led her to this work.

Key Takeaways:

• Wellness includes your home environment, not just diet and exercise.
• If symptoms feel like a mystery and tests come back normal, check your environment.
• Start with the room you spend the most time in, not a full overhaul.
• You don't need meters and measurements to make meaningful progress.
• One small change, like unplugging a device, can meaningfully affect sleep and energy.
• Suggest one or two changes to family, not a total home renovation.
