Whether we buy or rent, our home is the most important financial and health investment we will ever make. Our living spaces play a vital role in ensuring our health and wellbeing, yet information about this role is complex, not widely available, or taught to health practitioners. This highly informative text is truly an essential guide for every home. Based on years of diligent research, this book explains how our homes influence our health and provides simple practical advice on how to create a healthy home and healthy family.

As a doctor specialising in nutritional and environmental medicine, there is no point treating a patient with supplements or medication if they are breathing in a toxic soup of chemicals, toxins and bathing in electromagnetic fields. This book is for everyone who cares about their health, and a must read, not only for doctors in the field, but for every health professional.
