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.

Indoor Air Quality, Moisture, and HVAC: What Oklahoma Homeowners Need to Know | Ep 53

If you’ve ever thought, “My house just doesn’t feel right… but I can’t put my finger on why,” this episode is for you.
Indoor air quality isn’t just about temperature or filters, it’s about how your home breathes. And in Oklahoma, where we live in our air conditioning for months at a time, that matters more than most people realize.
In this episode, I’m joined by Tulsa-area HVAC and indoor air quality specialist Mike Guillen, founder of HOPE Heating and Cooling, for a real-world conversation about how HVAC systems affect comfort, moisture, energy use, and long-term home health.
This is a building science, down to earth systems conversation touching on airflow, humidity, pressure, ventilation, and maintenance...and how mold often shows up as a signal when something upstream isn’t working the way it should.
We talk about the things homeowners usually notice first (stuffy air, uneven temps, humidity, high energy bills), why those are early warning signs, and what actually moves the needle before anyone starts buying gadgets.
If you own a home — especially in Oklahoma, or an older home, a newer “tight” build, or anything in between — this episode will help you understand what’s happening behind the walls and when it’s time to ask better questions.
