When Jaclyn Steele Thurmond sets her sights on creating a healthier, high-frequency life, she starts at home—literally. This Freq Show solo episode is born from one of her most popular blogs on Beckon Living, 12 Tips on How to Make Your Home Healthier, but it goes even deeper into what it means to create a living space that truly supports your nervous system, your energy, and your overall wellness.

Because if we’re being honest, most of us think about health in terms of food, workouts, supplements, and maybe sleep. But what about the air we breathe? The fabrics we wrap ourselves in? The water that runs through our homes and into our bodies?

Jaclyn believes our homes should be sanctuaries—not just for the aesthetics, but for our nervous systems. A place to detox, exhale, and recharge. Whether you’re working with a tight budget or looking to invest in higher-end upgrades, this list of 12 simple, mindful ways to make your home healthier has something for everyone.

Why a Healthy Home Matters

We talk a lot about self-care these days—about what we’re eating, what we’re thinking, what kind of inner work we’re doing. But what about where we live? What about the very space we’re waking up in, raising babies in, cooking meals in, and coming back to at the end of a long day?

Jaclyn believes your home is more than just a place you sleep. It’s an ecosystem. A mirror. A container for your nervous system. And if your environment is cluttered with toxins—whether in the air, the textiles, or even the lighting—your body notices. It tightens. It adapts. It absorbs. And over time, it pays a price.

But here’s the good news: when you begin to treat your home like a living, breathing sanctuary—a space that can help regulate your energy instead of depleting it—everything begins to shift. Your nervous system softens. Your breathing slows. Your body feels safer. Suddenly, the home you live in is no longer adding to the noise, but helping you come back to yourself.

This is why creating a healthier home matters. Because wellness isn’t just what you eat. It’s not just what you think. It’s how you live—in the truest, most literal sense. Your home can either support your healing… or silently sabotage it. The goal isn’t perfection. It’s awareness. And that awareness is what allows you to make small, powerful shifts—shifts that help you feel better, live clearer, and vibrate higher.

How To Make Your Home Healthier

1. Purify the Air You Breathe

Jaclyn’s top tip, and it’s not negotiable: invest in an air purifier. “Most of the toxins we ingest come through our air,” she says. That’s why she has two air purifiers in her home: one in the bedroom (where her family sleeps) and one in the main living space. She personally loves the JASPR purifier for its minimalist design, larger coverage, and ease of use. It also comes with a $200 discount using code BECKON. If JASPR isn’t an option, the Air Doctor is another solid choice.

If a purifier isn’t in the cards financially right now, there’s still a powerful option...

2. Open Your Windows and Doors

Letting fresh air into your space can do wonders for your home’s energy and your body. “Your house needs to breathe just like you do,” Jaclyn says. Unless you live near a golf course or industrial site (where opening windows could actually introduce more toxins), regularly letting in fresh air is a powerful, free practice.

3. Swap Out Toxic Cleaning Products

As a mom and someone with Hashimoto’s, Jaclyn is especially mindful of what goes into her home—and onto her surfaces. Her go-to? Branch Basics. It’s a concentrated, non-toxic cleaning solution you dilute into multiple bottles for glass, all-purpose, and bathroom cleaning. It's effective, affordable, and gentle on your body and environment. (Use code BECKON for 15% off.)

She also loves Supernatural (essential oil-based and luxe-smelling) and classic Dr. Bronner’s Castile soap for marble counters. Bonus: she keeps a full collection of her favorite cleaning essentials in her Amazon Storefront.

4. Drink Remineralized Water

Reverse osmosis is a great way to filter water—but it strips out the minerals, too. That’s why Jaclyn recommends remineralizing your drinking water. Her home system by Frizzlife, purifies and adds minerals back in. For even deeper hydration, she uses a water structuring unit from Natural Action that she’s had for over four years. “It’s worth every penny,” she says. (Under $1498 retail, the code is Jaclyn-10 / If over $1498 retail, the code is Jaclyn-20)

5. Filter Your Bathing Water, Too

In Arizona’s hard water climate, Jaclyn noticed dry skin, acne flare-ups, and weird hair texture when she first moved. Her solution? The Jolie filtered showerhead (in brass, of course). It’s aesthetically gorgeous and functionally powerful. Canopy is another brand she’s keeping her eye on for future purchases.

6. Sleep in Natural Fibers

Our bodies heal while we sleep, so Jaclyn has swapped all her bedding to natural fibers. Her favorites: organic cotton sheets from Pact and linen sets from Quince (which she’s currently loving for their softness and durability). If you're going to spend 6–8 hours wrapped up in fabric, she recommends choosing materials that won’t leach toxins into your skin.

7. Protect Yourself From EMFs

Jaclyn was skeptical at first, but after plugging in her Somavedic EMF protection device and seeing her newborn sleep through the night for the first time, she was sold. It’s a powerful investment (between $700–$1,000, code BECKON for 15% off), but it protects your whole home. For more budget-friendly options, she wears Conscious Copper EMF protection jewelry and uses a cell phone plug-in.

8. Avoid Chemical-Laden Household Goods

This one’s less about what you add and more about what you avoid. Jaclyn cautions against rugs, mattresses, and furniture made from synthetic materials or stain-blocking coatings. “They off-gas chemicals into your air,” she explains, and that can compromise your health. Her family uses organic Avocado mattresses, pillows, and toppers throughout their home. But if you already own synthetic items, don’t panic—just be mindful, and invest in an air purifier to help mitigate the effects.

9. Use Diatomaceous Earth for Pest Control

Conventional pest sprays made Jaclyn physically ill—and she’s not alone. Her brother experienced extreme side effects, too. Now, she uses food-grade diatomaceous earth, a natural, chemical-free powder that kills bugs by drying them out. Years ago, it even helped her and Sam fully eliminate a bed bug infestation (without the $5,000 fumigation cost). It’s $10–$15 and can be found on Amazon.

10. Ditch Synthetic Fragrances

Jaclyn is all about a good-smelling home, but not at the cost of her family’s health. Synthetic candles, air fresheners, and fragrances are known endocrine disruptors. Instead, she diffuses essential oils from do TERRA, Living Libations, Mountain Rose Herbs, and Eden Botanicals—or burns candles made from essential oils and natural waxes (like Skinny Confidential’s eucalyptus blend). Her Amazon Storefront has a curated list of clean fragrance swaps, too.

11. Limit Blue Light Exposure

Blue light disrupts sleep and strains our eyes. That’s why Jaclyn uses OcuShield blue light blocking screens on her phone, laptop, and her son’s iPad. “It’s made a huge difference in my eye strain,” she says. Bonus: you can find chic blue light blocking glasses now, too.

12. Play Sacred Frequencies in Your Space

The final tip? Shift the energy of your home using sound. Frequencies impact water—and since we’re mostly made of water, they deeply affect us. Jaclyn recommends streaming sacred frequencies, instrumentals, or even just playing music that feels healing to you.

Of course, the easiest place to start is with The Freq App, which she and Sam created to help recalibrate your frequency anytime, anywhere. From morning affirmations to walking meditations, the app is full of bite-sized audio calibrations that blend uplifting messages with healing sound. There’s even a five-day free trial, available at thefreqapp.com.

Final Thoughts

For Jaclyn, making your home healthier isn’t about perfection—it’s about compassion. It’s about choosing the next right thing for your space, your body, your family, and your peace of mind. “Don’t live in fear,” she reminds us. “We all have things in our homes that aren’t ideal. But we can always choose better moving forward.”

Whether it’s switching your laundry detergent, diffusing oils instead of burning candles, or finally investing in a filtered showerhead—your nervous system will thank you. And when your nervous system settles, so do you. And that’s what high-frequency living is really about.

So what’s one thing you can do today to make your home feel just a little bit healthier?

Live on purpose. Live on frequency.
