Why the Home Environment Matters

Welcome to Episode 286 of Autism Parenting Secrets.

This week, we’re diving into one of the most overlooked factors affecting your child’s ability to regulate: the home environment.

Electrical fields, wireless radiation, dirty electricity, and even lighting can create invisible stress that overwhelms the nervous system — especially at night, when the body should be repairing and restoring.

My guest is Brian Hoyer, Founder and CEO of Shielded Healing.

Brian and his team have tested thousands of homes across the U.S., assessing six different types of electromagnetic radiation along with lighting quality and wiring issues. 

Their work helps families understand what’s happening in their home and how to reduce stressors that interfere with sleep, behavior, and healing.

Brian’s approach is practical, grounded, and focused on solutions — not fear.

He explains why parents shouldn’t assume their home is “fine,” how cumulative exposure slows progress, and what small changes create meaningful improvements.
