When you think about strengthening your bones, do you consider what’s inside your home? This episode of the Stronger Bones Lifestyle Podcast shines a light on how clutter affects not just your stress levels but also your physical safety, confidence, and even your ability to age well.

I’m joined by Heather Aardema, a functional medicine certified health coach and founder of The School of Living Lighter. Heather shares her personal story of being forced to let go of almost everything she owned after a toxic mold exposure— and how this experience transformed her health, perspective, and purpose.

Together, we explore the surprising connection between your outer environment and your inner well-being. Clearing clutter isn’t just about having a neat home—it’s about preventing falls, lowering stress hormones that weaken bones, and creating space for healing and joy.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

Why clutter can quietly impact bone health and overall well-being
How decluttering lowers stress, supports healing, and reduces overwhelm
Heather’s powerful journey of loss, resilience, and transformation
