Carrie Denning Jackson: Everybody Deserves a Healthy Home
This week, Tee welcomes Carrie Denning Jackson, the Founder of Place as Medicine, an organization committed to creating healthier places and spaces. For the past fifteen years, Carrie has devoted her career to enhancing the environments where people live and work at places like IBM Smarter Cities, Google’s urban innovation team, Sidewalk Labs, and now leading Innovation and Sustainability at global real estate firm, Jamestown LP.
Carrie shares her journey from working on innovative city projects to realizing the impact of built environments on health after becoming a mother. Together, Tee and Carrie delve into the alarming presence of toxins in common household items, the impact of nature on health, and practical steps to create healthier living spaces.
The conversation also touches on the role of government and industries in regulating these environmental factors and how individuals can make small changes for better health. Throughout their discussion, the importance of outdoor exposure and natural living solutions is emphasized, along with actionable tips for reducing toxins in our homes and communities.
