Welcome back to the Forward One Podcast, hosted by Paul Mark Morris and Josh Spitzen of Forward One Real Estate. Today we’re joined by identical twin brothers Jonathon and Gabe Dilworth, developers and builders who are changing the way people think about what it means to live in a “healthy home.” Together we dive into how most houses—even multimillion-dollar builds—are still constructed with toxic materials, poor air quality, and hidden risks that impact your health and comfort. The Dilworth brothers break down the three pillars of a healthy home, why air quality is often overlooked, and the simple changes that can make your home safer, more comfortable, and more energy-efficient. If you’ve ever wondered what’s really going on inside your walls—or how to future-proof your home for your health—this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
