Homes That Heal | Transform Your Home Into a Health and Wellness Sanctuary
Welcome to the Homes That Heal podcast! A show that will help you transform your home into a health and wellness sanctuary.
Hi! I am your host, Jen Heller. I am a wellness educator, infrared sauna expert, home health consultant, and your go-to resource for creating a life and home of health and happiness.
I believe life happens for you, not to you. I struggled with being overweight and tried various methods, but nothing worked. I suffered a mild stroke and discovered that I was heavy metal toxic. Through my journey, I not only healed myself but also gained a tremendous amount of knowledge. I discovered game-changing tools and met a ton of incredible people who have honestly changed my life. I transformed my home into the ultimate wellness haven, and it's my passion and purpose to share these stories and experiences with you.
On this show, I will deep dive into how you can improve your health and well-being. I will share the best tools and techniques for optimal wellness, including infrared sauna benefits and how to choose a sauna for your home or business. I will teach you how to harmonize your home with simple feng shui practices and how to create more wealth and abundance with a bagua map. PLUS, I will be answering your frequently asked questions about saunas in "Ask Jen" minisodes.
Every week, you will hear inspiring real-life stories and learn actionable steps you can take to build a healthier life and home. I will interview clients I have coached and experts in various fields. Our conversations will be loaded with insightful ways you can incorporate these practices and tools into your daily wellness wheel.
If you are looking for ways to optimize your health and elevate your home, this show is for you. Get ready for life-changing stories and take action to create YOUR HOME that heals. Subscribe now, and don't miss an episode.

Ep 115: Building a Healthy Home: The 12 Core Principles with Brian Johnson
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Ep 115 | The materials and construction that go into a home matter. So does its energy. Brian Johnson builds healthy homes that account for both, with small steps that work whether you're breaking ground or already moved in.
Most healthy-home advice stops at non-toxic paint and a water filter. Brian goes deeper. A licensed contractor for 23+ years, he merges building science with building biology into a 12-principle framework for homes that don't just avoid harm, they support how you sleep, breathe, and feel. Jen and Brian discuss mold, EMFs, water, light, quantum energy, and why the walls around you matter more than you think.
This episode is for anyone who wants their home to support their health, whether you're building from the ground up, house-hunting, mid-renovation, or you just want the place you already live to feel better. No blueprint or big budget required.
🕒 In this episode:
[06:20] – The moldy-lumber moment that set Brian on this whole path
[18:25] – What "building science meets building biology" really means (and why the two worlds stay siloed)
[22:30] – Non-toxic building materials that still perform, and what "beyond LEED" looks like
[25:40] – The four types of EMF, and why dirty electricity is the noise you can feel but can't name
[28:00] – Water, light, and air designed as one system: filtration, full-spectrum lighting, and ventilation
[54:00] – The energy of a space: harmonizers and how a home feels
[1:15:00] – Inside "the element," Brian's community of 20 wellness-focused homes north of Tucson
You don't need to gut your house to start. Even a few of these principles can shift how your home feels, and how you feel inside it.
Meet Brian Johnson:
Brian is a general contractor, builder, and triple-certified building biologist, and one of the few people connecting how a home is built to the health of the people living in it. As founder and CEO of Senergy 360, he brings together two worlds that rarely meet, building science and human health, designing homes as living systems that support circadian rhythm, clean air, pure water, low-toxicity materials, and EMF-conscious electrical design. His signature 12 core principles for healthy building are becoming a new benchmark for homes that work with your biology instead of against it. He's also building the Healthy Building Alliance, a national platform connecting healthy-home experts, homeowners, and education.
