Healthy Home Concierge weighs in

As Healthy Home Concierge, who deeply researches products, I can say— Andy Pace has done his homework. And having worked with many clients with MCS, allergies, asthma— I can see he’s a true expert, the real deal. He’s right— try the best solutions available now, vs letting perfection paralyze you. I’ll only add— take a holistic approach to your health. For best info, highly recommended Dr. Kara Fitzgerald, leading Functional Med N.D. Excellent podcast, aboiut MCS-related topics too.

Great explanations

The experience, knowledge, and well-presented information that I gain from this podcast are invaluable. I’m so appreciative that Andrew and Jay take the time to discuss ways to have healthy home. Everything in the conventional building world is focused on energy savings and LEED certification. Unfortunately that doesn’t equal non toxic! As a “canary” I refer often to this duo and to Green Design Center for my home building and remodeling projects. Thank you!

Essential listening for building

Thanks for this amazing resource and all your hard work! One bit of minor feedback...you may not realize but you often interrupt your guests or tend to share more about your point of view than asking them questions and letting them answer. In the interview I’m listening to right now you are actually interrupting and talking over your guest when he is in the midst of answering. Food for thought! But still, excellent series!

Reliable, practical information for safe home construction

I’ve been consulting with Andy Pace for many years on all my home projects—large and small. He’s helped me navigate non-toxic home renovation, painting, and updates with contractors that I could not have done alone. These podcasts are such a gift for those of us who need or simply want a non-toxic home. Thanks for generously sharing your knowledge and experience, Andy. You’re a gem!

Single. Time. No matter the subject, you’re guaranteed to gain something from every episode - can’t recommend Non Toxic Enviroments enough 🙌

Recommended.

I am an architecural designer and builder in Pennsylvania and have found "Non Toxic Environments" to be one of the most educational broadcasts available. Andy and Jay are practical, aware of the built environment and capable of communicating without the "fear-mongering" that can be associated with the topics discussed. I would recommend this podcast to all who are looking to better his/her lifestyle. Thanks gentlemen, keep up the great work!

Ahead of the curve!

For anyone with health challenges, chances are your home or work environment could be contributing to your difficulties. This excellent podcast explores all the ways building materials and techniques are creating problematic environments that more and more people are reacting to. If you have developed allergies, pain or other symptoms that aren’t otherwise easily explained, these experts may have the answers. They are truly ahead of the curve in terms of understanding how chemicals in the home environment can affect health and what to do about it.

issue we must be concerned with

This is a great podcast. We always look for safe products. My wife has MS, so anything we bring into our home is always a major concern.

Essential for living healthy

This podcast is so informative about the hidden dangers of our modern building materials. I love that Andy and Jay do not shy away from controversial topics and are so generous with their knowledge. You can truly hear how passionate they are about educating us about alternatives that are better for human health and the environment.

A must listen if you are interested in a health home environment

I am a huge podcast listener with many subscriptions but I’ve never bothered to leave a review. These are the best podcasts for removing the mystery from the home building products and process and it gets to the nitty gritty of what is healthy and what’s not. I was a custom new home builder before my last career change, and these guys know their stuff! Somehow they manage to make this subject extremely interesting without a lot of fluff or over production. It’s a favorite of mine for sure!

Taking the fear out of building a healthy home

After listening to all your podcasts in the last week (so much information that my brain feels full!) I feel as though there really is a way to build a healthy, non-toxic new home. Thank you for sharing your expertise. You are like the Consumer Reports of healthy living!

Precise Information - THE BEST!!!

Do you ever wonder if the ingredients on the label are accurate? Are they telling the whole story? We all know the answer is no. But there are wonderful people like Andy Pace of the Green Design Center, Degree of Green who created this podcast to help us learn about the products that ARE transparent and safe! I've also found information in this podicast on how to deal with remodeling, dealing with mold or fire damage. How to seal up toxic buildings materials or cabinets in the home...the list goes ON and ON! You won't find this info anywhere else. Don't miss an episode!

Pre-first time homebuyer hatching invaluable information about homes

Love the information about healthy home building and living. You guys have the heart of a teacher and very much appreciate all the great tips and behind the scenes look at carpets, walls, and all the home building materials, thank you!
Mark Lineberry

Great info, but a little scary

Check out this podcast. It’s a wealth of info on all things bad. And that’s not bad. That’s good. You’d want to be prepared in the event your environment (home, office, etc. ) become toxic and you’ll learn the steps you need to take to fix it.
Annam29

Incredibly insightful, useful, and detailed information for non-toxic living

I am extremely grateful for this podcast. I have learned so much from each and every episode and would recommend this podcast to all of my family and friends. Having this important and useful info all in one place gives me hope and provides me with all the resources I need to make my life and home a healthier place. I appreciate that Andy’s delivery is humble and nonjudgmental yet straight to the point, well researched and trustworthy. Thank you Andy and Jay for all that you do.

Making the impossible, possible

Andy, Jen & I are loving the podcast down here in Texas. Wishing we were back up there visiting you guys at the GDC as it was 109 today! Just wanted to say for everyone out there that Andy Pace is the real deal. He is our go to source for information on healthy materials and design for every healthy home we build! RS
