Health Starts at Home
Welcome to the Health Starts at Home podcast — where wellness meets real life.
Hosted by Holly Jean Mullen, holistic real estate specialist and former functional health practitioner, this show dives into the powerful connection between your health, your home, and how you live.
From low-tox living and healthy home design to metabolic health, mindset, and family wellness, we explore what it really takes to feel good in your body and your environment. You’ll hear real, relatable conversations on environmental health, holistic living, and the unconventional choices that support true well-being, especially for families creating a life of intention.
Because wellness isn’t just what you eat.
It’s where you live. And it starts at home.

Food Dye Bans: What They’re Not Telling You | Ep. 29
Food dye bans are making headlines, and on the surface, it looks like a win. Red 3, Red 40, and a few other synthetic dyes are finally getting the boot in some states. But before we celebrate, let’s take a step back and ask the real question, what are they replacing them with? Because history has taught us that when one toxic ingredient gets banned, another one just as bad (or worse) sneaks in to take its place.
This rabbit hole episode:
- What’s actually happening with these food dye bans at the state and federal levels
- How the cycle of "regrettable substitution" keeps harmful chemicals in circulation
- Why the U.S. lags behind Europe when it comes to banning toxic food additives
- How corporate lobbying and weak regulations keep consumers in the dark
- What you can do right now to protect your family without waiting for regulators to figure it out
This isn’t about fear. It’s about cutting through the noise and seeing the bigger picture. The real power isn’t in the hands of food manufacturers or government agencies, it’s in yours. So let’s talk about what’s really going on and how you can take back control of what’s on your plate.
Your home should help you heal—not hold you back.
If you’re ready to explore how your environment could be impacting your energy, mood, sleep, and overall wellness, you’re in the right place. The Health Starts at Home Podcast is here to help you rethink health from the inside out—starting with where you live.
