‘Increasing environmental awareness directs us to think as carefully about how we furnish our homes as how we use energy and water’
Sir Terence Conran
Hello , I’m Charlie
I’m a Healthy Homes Expert, Holistic Health Coach and Restorative Interior Designer.
I passionately believe that to achieve optimum physical and mental health we need to embrace our interconnectedness with the environment and create living and work spaces that reflect this symbiosis.
Through my work in Sustainable Property Development, Holistic Health coaching and as a WELL accredited professional, I help people design their homes and offices to optimize both human health and that of the planet.
I show people how to create nurturing spaces that maximize their health by showing them how to minimize toxins and make more eco conscious choices when creating their homes.

Why should you care?
By making more conscious consumer decisions such as looking at production methods, company ethics, attitude to waste and material safety behind brands and products, we will all make great steps towards creating a healthier environment both inside and outside our homes, supporting healthy homes, wellbeing, housing, and the built environment.
Due to increasing levels of toxicity in our food, water, air and the products we use, we need to educate ourselves in the latest ways to detox our spaces and bodies, improving air quality, water quality, acoustics, circadian science, and ergonomics within our homes and real estate spaces. Our lives really do depend on it.
Embracing sustainability and the recycling, re-purposing and re-use of items where possible is of paramount importance for our wellbeing and happiness, supporting sustainable design, regenerative design, wellness real estate, and long-term longevity. For the health of the planet and us. The Climate Emergency is not coming… its here!
An aesthetically pleasing home and one that ‘gives us joy’, is of course vital, it expresses our individuality, encourages our creativity, creates a family community, but everything behind that aesthetic is often overlooked in property, real estate, and sustainable housing decisions.

The Medicinal Power of Mushrooms
with Darryn de La Soul from Margate MushroomsIn this week's episode of The Healthy Home Show, I explored the often-overlooked world of medicinal mushrooms with special guest Darryn de La Soul, founder of Margate Mushrooms. Whilst a slight departure from the usual...
From Fitness to Food Justice
In the latest episode of The Healthy Home Show, I had the pleasure of speaking with New York based Marci Kenon —food justice advocate, toxins educator, and former personal trainer—about the alarming rise of toxins in our food, homes, and bodies. Marci’s journey from the music industry to personal training to full-time activism is as compelling as it is inspiring.
Our conversation took a deep dive into the hidden dangers of food additives, the broken U.S. regulatory system, and how lifestyle shifts—especially in nutrition—can transform health.
🎯 Key Takeaways
1. The GRAS Loophole is Poisoning Us
Marci opened my eyes to the shocking reality of the “Generally Recognised as Safe” (GRAS) loophole in the U.S. Over 10,000 additives have entered our food supply through this unregulated path, and according to Dr. Will Bulsiewicz (author of Fiber Fueled), 99% of them have never been studied for human health impacts.
Many of these additives are banned in the UK and EU, where safety regulations require proof before products go to market—unlike in the U.S., where companies can self-affirm safety without FDA review. You can read more about the Gras Loophole here on the EWG website.
2. Hyperpalatable, Ultra-Processed Foods are Hijacking Our Taste Buds
We spoke about how food scientists (not chefs) design ultra-processed foods to override natural hunger cues and drive repeat consumption. Some U.S. communities, especially in places like Mississippi, now consume up to 100% of their daily calories from ultra-processed foods.
Marci broke down how this disproportionately affects Black communities (approx. 70%) and younger people (up to 80%). It’s not just bad for waistlines—it’s a public health crisis.
3. Obesity and Toxins: A Hidden Connection
This part really resonated with me. We discussed how toxins are stored in fat to protect our vital organs. Unless we reduce the toxic load in our bodies and environments, weight loss becomes incredibly difficult. I’ve seen this firsthand in my own health journey—when I focused on detoxing my home and diet, the weight started to shift.
4. Mould Exposure: A Silent Epidemic
Marci shared her personal struggle with mould toxicity, which led to eczema, fatigue, respiratory issues, and even questions around her mother’s cognitive health. Mould, she explained, can mimic dementia in the brain—and it’s more common than we think, especially in cities with aging infrastructure and poor remediation laws.
5. Food Injustice is Systemic—and Global
Marci made a powerful point: food giants reformulate their products to comply with EU regulations, removing harmful additives for international markets—yet continue to sell the original toxic versions in the U.S. and often in underserved communities. “We’re lab rats,” she said bluntly—and it’s hard to argue otherwise.
The Facts Speak for Themselves
-
10,000+ food additives in the U.S. market, many banned elsewhere.
-
60–100% of U.S. daily calories now come from ultra-processed foods.
-
The FDA is underfunded, and food companies often pay into the very system that’s meant to regulate them.
-
Newborns have been found to carry 200+ chemicals in their umbilical cords.
What You Can Do Today
Marci’s Top 3 Recommendations:
-
Eat More Whole, Plant-Based Foods – Organic if you can. Frozen is often more nutrient-rich than fresh due to transport delays.
-
Eliminate or Reduce Ultra-Processed Foods and Sugar – These are designed to be addictive and nutrient-deficient.
-
Hydrate Properly – Drink half your body weight in ounces of clean, filtered water daily. Avoid plastic bottles, especially in heat.
Other Practical Tips:
-
Scan labels with apps like Trash Panda and Yuka.
-
Ditch plug-in air fresheners and artificial fragrances.
-
Avoid Bluetooth earbuds, especially in saunas—EMF radiation is real.
The Toxins Everywhere Summit
Marci’s next major project is the Toxins Everywhere Summit, launching this autumn. I’m honoured to be one of the 19+ expert speakers alongside pioneers like Dr. Robert Lustig, Darin Olien and Vani Hari (aka The Food Babe).
This 5-day virtual event will cover everything from mould and EMFs to food policy and the GRAS loophole. After the summit, Marci will be launching a 5-week bootcamp to help people take real, lasting action.
