Why Natural Materials Like Cork and Timber Matter in Healthy Home Design

Travis Brungardt tours the G Pod in San Antonio with building biologist Zara D’Cotta, Founder The Healthy Home, who specializes in healthy materials and electromagnetic fields. Travis, a builder who usually spots flaws everywhere he goes, can't find one here. Zara points to the abundance of timber and cork, natural finishes like oils and waxes, and a metal exterior that can help shield against outside wireless sources. She explains how she measures radio frequency and magnetic fields, why hardwired internet lowers exposure, and how distance from power lines matters for sleeping areas. They also discuss high-mass walls such as rammed earth, hempcrete, and concrete, and the pull toward warm, natural design.
