You’re not tired because you’re lazy; you’re tired because your light is lying to you.

In this episode of Health Starts at Home, I’m breaking down what really happens when our homes, lighting, and daily rhythms get out of sync with nature. We’ll talk about daylight savings, circadian rhythm disruption, and why artificial light may be one of the biggest (and most overlooked) reasons people feel exhausted, inflamed, and hormonally off.

I’ll share how our bodies actually run on light — not caffeine, calories, or willpower — and why even “healthy” habits fall flat when your biology isn’t synced with creation’s rhythm. We’ll explore what happens inside the brain when light hits the eyes, how melatonin really works (spoiler: supplements don’t cut it), and how modern home design has made us the most indoor generation in history.

If you’ve been feeling wired and tired, grabbing another cup of coffee, or wondering why you’re doing “all the right things” and still feel off — this episode is going to connect some dots.

By the end, you’ll understand how to re-sync your body and home with natural light cycles, reduce inflammation, support your nervous system, and create an environment that actually restores energy instead of draining it.

Your HVAC system does more than control the temperature, it’s the respiratory system of your home. When it’s out of balance, it can quietly affect your sleep, mood, energy, and even your long-term health.

In this episode, holistic Realtor® and Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner Holly Jean Mullen breaks down how your home’s heating and cooling system impacts air quality, comfort, and wellbeing. You’ll learn what to look for when buying a home, how to keep your system healthy, and which upgrades or “air gadgets” are actually worth your money.

Plus, Holly shares how understanding the basics of your home’s systems builds confidence — helping you partner more effectively with your service pros and take ownership of your home’s health.

If you want to breathe easier at home (literally and figuratively), this episode will help you do it, without overwhelm or fear.

What if your skincare routine was more about healing your soul than hiding your flaws?

In this episode of The Health Starts at Home Podcast, Holly Jean Mullen sits down with Bria Alston, founder of Sacred Beauty, to explore what happens when faith, aesthetics, and holistic health come together. A former nurse turned faith-led esthetician, Bria shares how God redirected her from conventional beauty practices to creating a skincare ministry rooted in inner healing, living ingredients, and true self-worth.

Together, Holly and Bria uncover:

• The spiritual and emotional roots of common skin conditions like acne and hormonal breakouts
• Why fragrances, parabens, and preservatives are quietly sabotaging your skin health
• How emotions like shame, rejection, and stress show up on the skin
• Simple, toxin-free swaps for real results (yes, tallow makes the list!)
• The mindset shift from anti-aging to aging gracefully through nourishment and faith

This is a must-listen for any woman ready to move beyond quick fixes, filter culture, and the pressure to look perfect. It’s time to restore beauty to its original design, where body, mind, and spirit are cared for in harmony.

What does it look like to build a healthy life and a healthy home in the middle of a culture obsessed with outrage and division? In this episode, we explore God’s Kingdom principles, especially the law of sowing and reaping, and how they impact not only your personal health but also the atmosphere of your home.

You’ll learn:

• How outrage culture is designed to hijack your nervous system and keep you distracted.
• Why God’s economy says you weren’t saved to survive, but sown to multiply.
• The difference between worldly fruit (chaos, fear, destruction) and Kingdom fruit like peace, generosity, courage, and love.
• Why empathy and compassion are essential for true healing, both in our bodies and in our relationships.
• How discernment helps you filter what’s being planted into your mind, your family, and your home.
• Simple, daily ways to model Kingdom principles for your kids so your home becomes a place of peace and restoration.

If you want your home to be more than just a shelter, if you want it to be a sanctuary that supports your health, nurtures your family, and resists the chaos of the world, this conversation will equip you to sow seeds of peace and reap a harvest that lasts.

Tia is a board-certified family nurse practitioner and certified functional medicine practitioner with specialized training in bioidentical hormone therapy. She brings years of experience in internal medicine, critical care, and now functional medicine, helping patients overcome chronic fatigue, gut issues, thyroid conditions, mold toxicity, hormone imbalances, and more.

Together, we explore:

• Why so many people live with unexplained fatigue, brain fog, and gut struggles
• The difference between real functional medicine and buzzword marketing
• Red flags to watch for when choosing a practitioner
• How hidden stressors like mold, endocrine-disrupting products, and everyday toxins impact health
• Why “root cause” is rarely just one thing—and what it really takes to heal
• The rise of hormone health conversations for both women and men, and what bioidentical hormone therapy can (and can’t) do
• Simple swaps and lifestyle changes that make a big difference without overwhelm

We also talk about the direct primary care model, how to think beyond traditional insurance, and why you do have the power to change your health—even if genetics, environment, or stress have stacked the odds against you.

• How chronic skin conditions like eczema, rashes, and irritation can be soothed naturally
• The science of transdermal absorption and why your armpits might be the best place to deliver nutrients
• The hidden dangers of conventional deodorant and how to navigate the “detox phase” when switching to natural

Mold toxicity is one of the most overlooked environmental health threats today. It goes far beyond visible black mold or common allergies—disrupting multiple body systems through harmful mycotoxins that impair detox pathways, immune function, and neurological health. Yet, most cases are misdiagnosed or dismissed by conventional medicine.

In this episode, we break down what mainstream media—including TIME Magazine—often gets wrong about mold and why surface-level awareness isn’t enough.

Here’s what we cover:

• The difference between mold allergy vs. mold toxicity (and why it matters)
• Common mold-related symptoms: migraines, brain fog, gut issues, fatigue, anxiety, hormone imbalances
• How children often show signs through tics, rage, regression, and conditions like PANS/PANDAS
• Why some people get sick and others don’t: genetics, detox capacity, and total toxic load
• The limitations of standard medical testing for detecting mold illness
• How underreporting and poor media coverage contribute to medical gaslighting
• Why environmental illness awareness must include your home environment—not just your body

If you’ve been told you’re “fine” but feel anything but, your body may be responding to something in your environment. Mold could be the missing link.
