How to Create a Healthy Home with AI

How to Create a Healthy Home with AI

Let’s face it, AI is EVERYWHERE. But before you scroll past another post about artificial intelligence, hear me out.

This isn’t about robots or chatbots. This is about using AI to detoxify your home, helping you eliminate hidden toxins, microplastics, and harmful chemicals in your home.

Since you’re here, I already know something about you: You care about your health and your home. You want a safer, toxin-free space for yourself and your family. That’s an incredible first step! But with so much conflicting information online, making healthier choices can feel overwhelming. 

As of early 2025, estimates suggest there are over 20,000 AI startups globally. So, what am I about to say that makes us so freaking special that it could change your life?

Let’s break it down:

The Hidden Dangers in Everyday Products

We live in a world of information overload, fueled by marketing that makes it easier than ever to buy products, but are those products actually good for us? The reality is that most household items contain harmful chemicals, from cookware to furniture to personal care products. We’re not just exposed to them, we’re absorbing them.



Consider this:

1. False environmental claims 

In January 2021, a study examining environmental claims across various consumer products found that 42% of the websites reviewed made false or misleading claims, potentially constituting unfair commercial practices.

2. BPA from baby bottles

Think about the BPA ban in baby bottles around 2012. This was the first large public awakening of the fact that manufacturers might not have our best interest in mind.

 

3. Black plastic kitchen utensils

Research shows they may contain toxic flame retardants, which can leach into food. Why? Because recycled electronic waste is often used to make them.

4. Red Dye #3

In January 2025, the FDA banned Red Dye No. 3 from foods and drinks due to cancer concerns—but manufacturers have until 2027 to comply.

These are just examples. The bigger issue? Most household products contain harmful chemicals—from cookware to furniture to personal care products.

And the worst part? We’re not just exposed to them—we’re absorbing them.

A recent study found that the average person has the equivalent of a plastic spoon’s worth of microplastics in their brain. Microplastics are now in our air, water, and soil, making it nearly impossible to avoid exposure.


How Our AI Helps You Create a Toxin-Free Home

At The True Shift, we’re using AI to simplify home detoxing, helping you quickly identify and replace harmful products. Our mission is to help people reconnect with healthy products by making the assessment of a Healthy Home less daunting.

Here’s how our process works:

Step 1:  Share Your Space (we recommend starting with the kitchen or bathroom)

 

We'll learn about your unique needs and goals.
Upload photos of your space and tell us what you'd like to achieve. Whether you're starting with a single room or your entire home, our team is ready to listen.


Step 2:  Receive Your Personalized Plan

 

The True Shift AI scans and evaluates products across the internet to determine whether they contribute to or detract from a Healthy Home. Using strict, objective standards, our AI assesses:

Material composition – Identifying whether products contain plastics, toxins, or harmful coatings.
Sustainability factors – Evaluating durability, environmental impact, and waste reduction.
Health impact – Analyzing whether materials are linked to hormone disruption, toxin exposure, or microplastic ingestion.

Step 3: Bring Your Plan to Life and Start Making Your Healthy Swaps


Instead of spending hours researching, let AI do the heavy lifting so you can focus on creating a healthier, safer home.
