About Lisa & Ron, founders of GreenNest.com

In 2002, Lisa Beres, a former interior designer, started feeling run down and tired all of the time suffering from chronic fatigue, sinus infections, hormone im¬balances and lowered immunity after moving into a newly remodeled home. She was well aware of the abundance of toxic materials that exist in homes today from her experience as an interior designer, but was unaware these materials can off gas as dangerous chemicals into the air we breathe (ie: that “new home smell”). Lisa then began a journey in search of answers. After much research and a dozen doctor visits, she came to the conclusion that her house and products within the home were making her sick!

It was through her research that Lisa decided to become a BBEC/Building Biologist (Building Biology —a study derived from Germany which encompasses how buildings impact life and the living environ¬ment). With her B.A. from Arizona State University already under her belt, she then decided to incorpo¬rate her two passions in life–interior design and health. After making the necessary adjustments in their home, her health gradually improved to a 180 degree turnaround and she and her husband Ron decided to help other people in their endless efforts to attain optimal health. Together with Ron who earned his B.A. from George Mason University, they chose to seek “greener pastures.” In addition, Ron is also a BBEC/Building Biologist and he and Lisa are also Certified Green Building Professionals.
