🏡 As a physician trying to optimize overall health, I’m always looking for ways to create a healthier environment at home.

Over the past few years, we’ve added five things that have made a noticeable difference:

🌱 A hydroponic automated growing system so we can grow fresh herbs and vegetables indoors year-round. Having healthy foods readily available makes healthy eating a lot easier.  We use the produce daily in our smoothies and salads.

🤖 A robot vacuum that cleans using hypochlorous acid. With a toddler and a dog that sheds everywhere, this thing gets plenty of work. Hypochlorous acid is produced naturally by your immune system, is generally less toxic than many traditional cleaning products, and has been shown to eliminate 99.9% of many common bacteria and germs.

💨 An air purifier to help reduce dust, pet dander, allergens, and other airborne particles floating around the house. I keep one in the bedroom, and I’ve personally noticed less nasal congestion at night, which helps me breathe easier and sleep better.

💧 A reverse osmosis water filtration system that not only filters out contaminants like lead and arsenic, but also removes many bacteria and viruses, chlorine, and most microplastics.  It also remineralizes the water.  We no longer have to buy bottled water (which saves a ton of money), and the water tastes great.  It was one of the best investments we've made recently.

🔴 A red light therapy panel. Research suggests red and near-infrared light may help support muscle recovery, tissue healing, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Personally, I’ve found it most helpful for supporting sleep and recovery after long days.

None of these replace the basics—exercise, sleep, nutrition—but they’ve helped make healthy living a little easier.
