We’ve all heard about detoxing our bodies — but what if the real toxins are lurking in the spaces we call home? In a compelling new episode on the Ideal Home Show YouTube channel, holistic health coach and founder of The Healthy Home Therapist, Charlie Lemmer, unpacks the often-overlooked connection between our living environments and our well-being. With warmth and authority, Charlie challenges us to rethink what “clean” really means — and how everyday products, furnishings, and habits may be silently impacting our health.

At the heart of the episode are four core principles that underpin what Charlie calls a truly “healthy home.” From indoor air quality to mould, synthetic fragrances, and even poor furniture ergonomics, Charlie walks viewers through the hidden stressors that could be contributing to fatigue, allergies, and chronic illness. “Your home should heal you, not harm you,” she explains — a sentiment that feels more relevant than ever in an age where we’re spending more time indoors.

One of the episode’s most surprising revelations? That the products we use to keep our homes ‘clean’ might be doing the opposite. Charlie breaks down the toxic ingredients in many conventional cleaning supplies, noting how these substances can linger in the air and on surfaces long after the sparkle fades. Her advice is refreshingly simple: open a window, ditch the artificial scents, and consider switching to probiotic cleaning products — a growing trend she believes could shape the future of household hygiene.

It’s not all doom and dust, though. Charlie is just as passionate about empowering people to make practical, low-cost changes. From improving airflow to adjusting your home office chair to better support your spine, her tips are grounded in accessibility and sustainability. As she says, “Wellness shouldn’t be expensive — it should be intuitive.”
