A Biologist’s Guide to a Restorative Home

Modern homes are quietly undermining our health. Filled with synthetic chemicals, hidden toxins, and hormone-disrupting compounds, today’s indoor environments place a constant burden on the body’s ability to maintain balance. In A Biologist’s Guide to a Restorative Home, ecologist and biologist Katherine T. Fuller brings scientific clarity to a problem most people never see but live with every day.Grounded in biology, ecology, and decades of environmental research, this book explains how common household products contribute to toxic exposure, endocrine disruption, metabolic disorders, and chronic disease. Fuller demystifies complex science phthalates, PFAS, parabens, PBDEs, and other “forever chemicals” and connects them directly to real-world health consequences for adults, children, and future generations.More than a warning, this book is a practical roadmap. Readers are guided toward realistic, step-by-step changes that reduce toxic load without perfectionism or fear. By embracing sustainability, informed consumer choices, and plant-based alternatives, the home can once again become a place that supports biological balance rather than undermines it.Clear, evidence-based, and deeply empowering, A Biologist’s Guide to a Restorative Home is essential reading for anyone seeking to protect their health, their family, and the environment starting at home.
