Why Your Condo Might Be Making You Foggy

(And What to Do About It

Feeling foggy or tired for no clear reason?

Your condo or home might be contributing more than you think.

Modern buildings are designed to be energy-efficient, but that often means they’re sealed tight — trapping indoor pollutants like dust, mold spores, and off-gassing from furniture. The result?

Low energy, foggy thinking, irritated skin, and even respiratory issues.

I hit a breaking point myself — waking up tired, reaching for tissues daily, and constantly feeling off despite eating well and doing all the “right” things. So I did the research and created a practical checklist to help you reset your space without overwhelm.

Body Calm Air Quality Checklist for Home and Condo

This free guide walks you through simple steps to clear the air, support your lungs, and feel more energized at home — especially if you:

  • Have no control over building HVAC systems

  • Haven’t checked your vents or windows in months

  • Use a humidifier or air purifier but aren’t sure it’s actually working. Convert traffic into leads

🛠 A Few Game-Changers:

  • Add air-purifying plants like peace lilies or pothos

  • Switch to a HEPA filter or salt lamp

  • Ditch synthetic candles for beeswax, soy, or an essential oil diffuser

🧠 Quick Things You Might Not Know:

  • Waking up stuffy? Bedroom air is often the culprit.

  • Humidity imbalance irritates nasal passages and skin

  • Hidden mold in vents, baseboards, or window tracks is extremely common in older or tightly sealed condos

  • Turning on the heat or A/C stirs up allergens and mold spores

  • Many condos recirculate stale air without a fresh intake system — it’s worth asking your property manager about HVAC cleaning

Take 10 minutes this weekend to check your air—it may be the refresh your body’s been asking for.
