TMHS 871: Improve Your Sleep, Reduce Aut...

SHAWN STEVENSON
About this episode

Our environment is one of the main drivers of our health. Environmental factors have been linked to a variety of health conditions, not limited to asthma, cancer, infertility, and autoimmunity. And right now, for many people across Los Angeles, air quality is top of mind. On this episode of The Model Health Show, I’m joined by air quality educator, Mike Feldstein. 

This conversation dives into the Los Angeles fires, their impact on air quality, and what you can do to have cleaner, healthier air in your home. You’re going to learn why this specific fire is especially hazardous to air quality, what to look for in an air purifier, and so much more. 

Mike is also bringing you real, actionable tips you can put into place for better air, no matter where you live. The air we breathe is a vital component of our environment, and I hope this episode will give you the knowledge and empowerment you need to keep your family safe and healthy. Enjoy!

  • Why the Los Angeles fires are more harmful to air quality than a regular wildfire.
  • How long particulates can stay in the air after a fire.
