Ever thought the air inside your home might be worse than the air outside? Yeah, sounds wild, but in this episode of Midlife Conversations, I dive into this crucial (and surprising!) topic with Mike Feldstein, founder of Jasper air filters. What’s really lurking in our indoor air? And why does it matter so much for things like sleep, aging, and your overall well-being? Mike has a powerful story—he’s gone from wildfire disaster recovery to creating innovative air filtration solutions, and he's sharing what he's learned about what’s floating around our homes. We’re talking real eye-openers here: the unexpected sources of indoor pollution, the truth about those “popular” air purifiers, and why most don’t really do the job. You might be surprised where the air in your home is the dirtiest—think specific rooms, not just everywhere. And what about all the hype around houseplants? Are they really helping clean the air? Let’s just say Mike has some thoughts on that. If you’re ready to uncover what’s in your air and why it matters more than ever, this episode is one you won’t want to miss.
