About Dr. Detox Homes
My Story
Dr. John Ellis - known as Coach John Ellis- is the founder of Dr. Detox Homes, a movement dedicated to helping families transform their living spaces into clean, safe healing sanctuaries. His Mission began with the health crises of his two sons and is strengthened by his unique background in the Navy, homebuilding, and naturopathic medicine.
After five years of trying to conceive, John's first son, Cameron, was born perfect and healthy on Thanksgiving Day, But by age 5, Cameron was hospitalized with severe asthma. Two years later his second son, Kaleb was born just as perfect. By three, Kaleb was diagnosed with low functioning autism. The painful realization came slowly: The modern, tightly sealed home John built for his family was poisoning them.
Commercial carpet and adhesives, fresh paint, wallpaper, plastics, unfiltered water, stagnant indoor air, and rising EMF's created an invisible toxic load that his children's bodies could not handle. The very place meant to protect them was making them sick.
John's Navy training-which included advanced education in electricity, communications, and EMF systems gave him the technical foundation to understand what had gone wrong. His later career as a real estate broker, land developer and builder exposed him to the construction materials, mechanical systems, and environmental factors that shape the air we breath, the water we consume and the power that surrounds us.
When both sons fell ill, John shifted paths and became a naturopathic doctor, determined to understand toxicity, detoxification, inflammation, and environmental medicine. He now teaches families how to eliminate the four biggest sources of modern Illness: The air they breathe, the water they drink and bathe in, the EMF's they sleep in and the toxins stored inside their homes.
Food and exercise make up the 20%; the home environment is the 80%.
Dr. Detox Homes is the culmination of John's entire life's work with one mission: Help families create homes that heal instead of harm.
