Speaker 1 (00:00):
Shrea the Horr. How are you this morning?
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I'm really great, Thank you. How are you happy to
be here?
Speaker 3 (00:06):
That's a very strong name. There's something very Shreya the Horror.
That's I mean, it's a name. It begs to be
lived up to, and it looks as if you were
living up to it.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Thank you. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Yeah, I'm intrigued by this.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
You know, I see a lot of there's so many
hot terms these days, you know, and wellness innovator is
one of them, you know, content creator, digital influencer, this
and that. But what really got me about you and
your and your philosophy, I guess, is make make your
home healthy. I find that very interesting angle. Maybe Shrea,
(00:42):
it's due to the fact, like it doesn't sound like
I have to necessarily exercise to tell me about making
your home healthy.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
So one of the things that I've learned and i've
kind of and it was from my own health journey myself.
You know, we we spend so long thinking about, you know,
the food that we put in our body, exercise, move
with like everything about wellness is around that and health. Sure,
but it's kind of surprised when you think about it,
is we aren't the sad thing is the sad truth
is really in right now. On average, we live we
(01:12):
spent about ninety percent of our lives indoors, and we
don't really think about like you think about the food
you're ingesting and absorbing from, like water and that stuff.
We don't really think about actually what's in your space,
like what are the lights, what are the materials? You know,
when you touch things, when you're breathings all of that.
When you drink stuff, it gets absorbed into your body
and they all have a massive impact on our health.
(01:33):
And so that's my kind of and I realized this
through my own journey of health issues.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
And you've had.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
My home was making me ill, which was quite shocking.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Yeah, you know seeing here mold.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Eliminating molds and taxins creates profound results. Mold kind of
goes without saying. I had an issue with mold in
one of the homes that I owned at one point.
It's actually really scary, especially when you have small children
and I'm a dad. Yeah, it made me a nervous rex,
a nervous wreck excuse me. Beyond mold, which I'd like
(02:09):
to think, strea is like a given and most people
know how serious that is, but I'm probably wrong. Some
people probably just contend with it. It can be very
expensive to we've got a real mold issue to remove it.
But beyond that, you say, antoxins, What are some of
the other toxins?
Speaker 2 (02:28):
If we keep it simple as it's sick as simple,
So in a lot of paint, in a lot of
the furniting products, and a lot of for example, even
the cement we build with. There's things called VOCs, which
are like volatile or kind of compounds. They're actually the
things that actually make you know, when you buy a
new car and it smells and ione was like, oh,
new car smells so nice. That's actually VOCs And they're
(02:48):
not good for our house. They're being associated with potentially
triggering asthma, respiratory disease, even hormonal issues, potentially even cancer
and stuff like that on the more extreme end. And
then you've got other stuff like pfas which are forever chemicals,
and microplastics and all of this different stuff that absorbs
(03:08):
and studies are now showing us that actually these impact
our hormones. They can cause asthma, they can cause potentially
even diabetes, brain fox fatigue, like the more easy, simple stuff,
and then you go down to the more extreme things, right,
which is like cancer and the more scary scary words
about that?
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Sure, sure, And I read in your philosophy you say,
I believe in modern luxury that works with human biology.
Sounds expensive, but I'm probably wrong. Right, But tell me
about how modern luxury can lend itself to the first
(03:47):
one I have to say is and you're just so right.
I was that guy. I'm fifty eight years old, and
I was that you know, why was that guy? In
my thirty shraa like lighting? I wanted the lights dim,
you know, and I read. I read by very dim light.
If anything, I went through a long stretch of time
where the only light I wanted in my living room
(04:08):
was coming from my fireplace.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
And now at fifty eight, I can't see, you know,
all that dim lighting.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
I'm paying a price for it now, so that one
I'm hoping it might not be too late for me.
But I do see that, you know, you say here,
part of a healthier arm is lighting.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Oh please, Well, actually the dim lighting, the fire lighting
would have actually been very very good for your malatonins,
because one of the biggest problems, if you think about
human evolution, which this kind of lends into a little
bit my philosophy. We've evolved at night, it would be
dark and we would sit by a fire, and that's
telling our body to go to sleep. The problem is,
right now we have these bright blue lights that blast
(04:53):
from above coming down at us, and it mimics the
sun for our body. So our body needs to sleep.
Our body needs to to produce melatonin on in the morning,
we bright lights, we have cortusol. And so what's happening
right now is our body is thinking, oh, it's day
day day, day day. You're actually like, no, you need
to go to sleep because it's sleep time. And so
(05:15):
it's not releasing that melatonin in the same kind of
way that it should do. So although it wouldn't be
it wasn't great for your eyes, for your sleep, you
probably got better sleep.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Yeah, yeah, that makes sense, and I did as a
younger man. I don't now. I don't get great sleep.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Now.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Do you have any tips as far as how I
can get better sleep now and how modern luxury might
help me with that?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I have horrible sleep now.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Yeah, so on the modern luxury thing. So for me, really,
I think the word luxury. People think about it, used
to think about it about opulence, right, and I actually think
the new luxury is healthed, you know, being able to
say you wake up in the morning with boundus amount
of energy, you have clear mind. You know you're living
in somewhere that's beautiful and it's nice. But you know
(06:03):
what's actually enhancing your house, That to me is luxury.
You know, it's not about being able to say that
you have the fancy chandelier and that kind of stuff.
And so for the sleep size of your question here,
one of the big things I can say is try
in the evenings avoiding screens. Again, but I'm saying that
blue light you can try avoiding. Yeah, I mean everyone
(06:25):
says it, but it's hard to do, and I know.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah it is, it is, and I'm bad.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Just last night I was I was in a dark
room getting ready for bed, looking at my phone, and
in my head I was saying to myself, just turn
the thing. It'll all be there in the morning when
you get up to do your show. And I'm my
own worst enemy in that way, because I do know
it the only light and you know, at fifty eight
years old, reading off my phone, in a bedroom where
(06:52):
the lights are off at ten o'clock at night. I'm
you know, I reprimand my children for doing that, and
here I am doing it, practicing what I preach.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
You know. Well, I'm hoping at least you put it
on night shift mode so it's not it's a bit
more amber than blue.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
You know what, Shreya, I don't even know what that is.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
If there is a night shift mode, I don't even
know what that is.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
That's how bad I am tech wise. What can I do?
Is there?
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Are you telling me there's a way I can like
soften the screen on my phone?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Yes? Yeah? All phones? What point do you have? Do
you have an iPhone? What phone?
Speaker 3 (07:29):
I have an iPhone? That's so that's so bad.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Okay, if you go onto iPhone, iPhone actually has something
called night shift and you can put it on and
you can either customize it or do it from sunrise
to sunset, and it actually makes the screen look a
bit more yeh, because it takes.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Out blue light from it. So that's that would be
my number one tip. So I don't condone you lying
in bed reading your messages at Yeah, if you are
good to do them, put it on night shift mode.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Yeah, that's a great that's honestly something I will today quick,
quick little something about me.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
It was just about a month ago.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
You know, we have to make digital content in this
day and age, and I want to get all of
your handles too, because I think you're definitely someone people
should be following, especially people like you know, like me
too and my demo, but all demos. But I have
to make a lot of digital content considering you know,
I have a radio show, et cetera, et cetera. And
(08:24):
I was just complaining. It was like a month ago,
and I was saying to my kids, I go every
time I you know, I try to go live, you know,
somebody calls me and it interferes and they're like, well,
put your phone on do not disturb. And I'm like,
I don't even what are you even talking about? What
I have no idea, no idea. What do not disturb?
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Was?
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Now, Shrey, it never comes off. I leave do not
Disturb on all day, which wow, okay, yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Which is probably good for my mental health. That's probably
good for my mental health. I feel like it has been.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
I'm sure it's good to your mental health.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Yeah, I really feel that ways.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Not good for anyone trying to get hold of you.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
But you know what, Oh yeah, yeah, there's been a
lot of complaining about that, but it has I don't
feel there was a degree of anxiety because it was
constantly going off. Now I have control of it, you know.
I make sure I check missed calls and make sure
I actually I do. I feel a little less anxious
(09:23):
at least as far as that's concerned. How can people
follow you? I'm sure you're on Instagram, you're on TikTok
or is there a website?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Yeah, so you can get My website is Shreyabahora. That's
s h r e y A Behora v O h
o r a dot com. I'm also on LinkedIn the
same where I posh quite a lot of stuff on
there as well. And I have a news business where
I get even deeper and I try and give a
lot of tips and tricks and breakdown science that's happening
(09:52):
right now, and that is Vibrant Living Lab and on substack.
You can find a link on my website.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Right I saw the Yes, thank you Vibrant Living Lab
Lab so newsletter that translates complex research in building biology
biophilia and neuro's esthetics into practical steps anyone can use
to create a healthier home, which I think is a
great approach. I love your philosophy. I appreciate you taking

(10:21):
