The EMPWR Podcast The Shocking Truth About What’s Floating in Your Indoor Air | ft. Mike Feldstein
I never thought about my air quality until this conversation. In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Mike Feldstein, founder and CEO of Jaspr, to explore the invisible world of the air we breathe—and how it could be silently sabotaging your health, energy, and longevity.
We breathe 20,000 times a day, yet most of us have no idea what’s in our air. From mold and VOCs to toxins from furniture and cleaning products, the hidden pollutants inside our homes can trigger fatigue, brain fog, allergies, and even chronic illness.
Mike breaks down why indoor air can be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air, what makes “new home smell” toxic, and how air scrubbers differ from traditional purifiers.
As a mom, this conversation made me realize that air is the missing link in creating a healthy home. If you’ve ever walked into a space and felt “off,” this episode will completely change how you think about your environment—and what it means to truly live well.
