We explore the crucial differences between smart, green, and healthy homes, clarifying common misconceptions and revealing how each impacts your wellbeing in different ways. This foundation-setting episode kicks off Season 2 with insights into the booming wellness real estate market and why understanding these distinctions matters for your health.

• Smart homes prioritize convenience and connectivity but aren't automatically healthy due to increased EMF exposure
• Green homes focus on energy efficiency and environmental impact but can create issues like poor ventilation when sealed too tightly
• Healthy homes are specifically designed with human biology in mind, supporting sleep, air quality, and reducing toxin exposure
• The wellness real estate market has grown to $584 billion globally and is projected to reach $1.1 trillion by 2029
• Many chronic health issues may be connected to home environments, not just diet and lifestyle
• Season 2 will cover building science, EMF remediation, non-toxic design, family wellness, and navigating new construction
• Holly has transitioned from health coaching to full-time real estate, focusing on the intersection of homes and wellness

Have you ever created something that ended up transforming you more than you transformed it? That's exactly what happened with this podcast journey, and I'm pulling back the curtain to share it all in this vulnerable season finale.

When I launched Real Health Transformations, I had a clear vision: create valuable content that would help others while strategically growing my coaching business. The title was meant to highlight other people's stories of change and wellness. What I never expected was how this platform would become my mirror, my therapy, and ultimately, the catalyst for finding my authentic voice.

Behind the scenes, I've been in what I now recognize as my "cocoon season" – a necessary period of recalibration where everything was shifting beneath the surface. I took an unplanned break from publishing, lost half my audience, and struggled with alignment. But that pause wasn't burnout or resistance – it was the quiet before clarity struck. The most ironic part? The butterfly artwork I initially chose and cringed at turned out to be prophetic. I literally became the transformation my podcast was named for.

As we close Season One, I'm excited to announce that we're evolving into "Health and Home" for Season Two. The core concept remains, but with a voice and perspective that more fully represents who I've become through this journey. Thank you for walking this path with me – whether you've been here since day one or just found us. Transformation doesn't always look dramatic; sometimes it's simply about showing up honestly and letting your real voice emerge. Will you continue this journey with me?

I explore why we're quick to judge others when their healing journeys don't align with popular beliefs, using Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg's recent backlash as an example of how we silence women's experiences and stories.

• Jenny McCarthy was attacked online for sharing how a carnivore diet helped her heal after veganism damaged her health
• Growing up in a controlling household taught me to silence myself to avoid criticism
• Breaking free from my relationship with my father after 40 years was like "a pressure valve releasing"
• Even trained nutrition professionals can abandon bio-individuality principles when faced with approaches that challenge their beliefs
• Both vegan and carnivore approaches can be healing or harmful depending on the individual
• True health empowerment means making choices from self-trust rather than fear or performance
• Some of the most powerful healing happens beyond physical protocols, often through spiritual growth

In this throwback episode, Sleep Science Academy founder Devin Burke shares a holistic framework for understanding and overcoming sleep issues by addressing the nervous system, mind, body, and spirit connections.

• Sleep is a natural biological process that happens when we remove barriers, not something we can force or control
• Quality and quantity of sleep are both important, with individual needs varying based on age, lifestyle, and chronotype
• Poor sleep affects hormone regulation, cognitive function, emotional stability, and even physical health
• The "Three P Patterns" that keep people stuck in insomnia: perfectionism, problem-solving mindset, and putting sleep on a pedestal
• Sleep pressure and circadian rhythm are the two main systems controlling sleep, with napping potentially disrupting sleep pressure
• Creating anxiety around sleep by trying supplements, perfect environments, or special routines can backfire
• Most sleep hacks and trends (like lettuce water) miss the fundamental point that acceptance and releasing expectations are key

Our homes significantly impact our health beyond visible features like marble countertops and fresh paint—the construction materials, air quality, and maintenance all affect our well-being. We explore different construction types and their health implications while providing practical guidance for identifying and avoiding properties that could compromise your health.

• Production homes offer speed and affordability but use lower quality materials with minimal health considerations
• Semi-custom homes provide more choice in materials but still have limited health-focused options
• Custom homes allow complete control over health features but require larger budgets and longer timelines
• Regular home maintenance prevents major health hazards like mold from developing
• Smart leak detection systems and proper gutter maintenance are crucial for preventing moisture problems
• Most real estate professionals don't assess health impacts when evaluating properties
• What seems like a good deal may hide serious health risks behind fresh paint and staging
• Considering factors like material quality, history of water damage, and environmental concerns is essential
• Your home should support your health and well-being rather than undermining it

If you have questions about home health, send me a DM on Instagram to book a conversation. I love helping people find homes that support their long-term well-being, and I can connect you with holistic-minded agents across the country.

Your dream vacation shouldn't end with a nightmare souvenir that lingers long after your tan has faded. Parasites and travel-related gut bugs are no joke – they can hijack your health for months or even years after returning home.

Drawing from personal experience (including my own bathroom nightmare in Puerto Vallarta), I'm breaking down why these digestive disruptions are more than just temporary inconveniences. Beyond the sensationalized headlines, there's a concerning reality: seemingly minor travel illnesses can evolve into chronic health issues when unwanted hitchhikers set up shop in your gut.

Most travelers never connect their persistent fatigue, brain fog, or mysterious digestive problems to that trip they took months ago. By the time symptoms manifest – sometimes 10-14 days after returning home – few people make the connection. These parasites burrow in, stealing nutrients and creating chronic inflammation that conventional medicine often struggles to diagnose.

As I prepare for my upcoming trip to China, I'm sharing my balanced approach to prevention. Rather than fear-based paranoia, I'm focusing on strengthening my internal terrain – opening drainage pathways, supporting bile flow, maintaining mineral balance, and adding targeted antiparasitics. This preventative protocol isn't about avoidance alone; it's about creating an internal environment naturally resistant to these opportunistic organisms.

But here's my candid take: supplement strategies should be intentional and effective. If you can't explain why you're taking something or haven't noticed benefits, it's probably just expensive pee. Every addition to your protocol should serve a specific purpose and produce noticeable results.

Whether you're planning international adventure or a weekend getaway, these practical prevention strategies can help ensure you return home with only the souvenirs you intentionally purchased. Have you experienced travel-related gut issues? Share your story and let's keep the conversation going!

What if the most powerful medicine for our bodies wasn't a pill but a frequency? When Steve Rees brought his handmade harp to play for his hemodialysis patients, something remarkable happened - blood pressures stabilized, pain medicine suddenly worked, and patients who never slept dozed peacefully. This "accidental" discovery launched Steve, a registered nurse, on a fascinating journey exploring the healing power of specific sound frequencies embedded in biblical texts.

The science behind frequency healing is compelling. The 528 Hz frequency - which Steve discovered is mathematically encoded in scripture - has been shown to transform chaotic water molecules into perfect crystalline structures. Given that our bodies are 75-80% water, the implications are profound. From emergency rooms where chaos becomes calm within minutes to Alzheimer's units where agitation transforms into peaceful dancing, the physiological effects are undeniable. Scientific studies confirm these aren't merely placebo effects - healing frequencies create measurable biological changes comparable to pharmaceutical interventions.

What makes Steve's approach unique is how he bridges science and spirituality without compromising either. By exploring the mathematical patterns in Numbers 7 and the relationship between Hebrew letters and musical notes, he's uncovered what he believes is God's "signature" embedded throughout creation - a set of frequencies that resonate with our original design. His compositions, derived from the Psalms through this ancient code, have touched thousands globally, from cancer patients managing pain to farmers whose goats no longer kick over milk buckets.

Whether you're scientifically minded or spiritually oriented, this conversation challenges conventional thinking about healing. Could the transformation we seek be less about adding something new and more about returning to our original frequency? Listen as we explore this fascinating intersection of ancient wisdom and cutting-edge science. Your perspective on sound, healing, and wholeness may never be the same.

Food dye bans are making headlines, and on the surface, it looks like a win. Red 3, Red 40, and a few other synthetic dyes are finally getting the boot in some states. But before we celebrate, let’s take a step back and ask the real question, what are they replacing them with? Because history has taught us that when one toxic ingredient gets banned, another one just as bad (or worse) sneaks in to take its place.

This rabbit hole episode:

• What’s actually happening with these food dye bans at the state and federal levels
• How the cycle of "regrettable substitution" keeps harmful chemicals in circulation
• Why the U.S. lags behind Europe when it comes to banning toxic food additives
• How corporate lobbying and weak regulations keep consumers in the dark
• What you can do right now to protect your family without waiting for regulators to figure it out

This isn’t about fear. It’s about cutting through the noise and seeing the bigger picture. The real power isn’t in the hands of food manufacturers or government agencies, it’s in yours. So let’s talk about what’s really going on and how you can take back control of what’s on your plate.
