About the Book

We spend 90% percent of our time indoors, but our indoor environments may be causing us significant harm. Everything from flooring to paints contain chemicals known to contribute to health problems such as cardiovascular disease and cancer. In Healthier Homes, Rusty and Jen Stout, nationally recognized healthy home building innovators, teach you how to think like a builder so that you can build a new home or upgrade an existing one to put wellness first. Making smart choices when it comes to building materials, moisture protection, finishes, and more can make all the difference in reducing your exposure to toxins and living a healthier life.

Healthier Homes is a guide for homebuyers, homeowners working with a professional builder, contractors, and DIY-ers alike with sections on:
- Home design and site selection
- Material choices for the interior and exterior
- Sourcing home furnishings and finishes
- Mold remediation
- Existing home upgrades
- Air and water quality
- Interior decorating
