EMFs are one of the greatest threats to public health in the modern world, and it’s the topic I’ve received the most questions about on Instagram and in The Life Stylist Podcast Facebook Group. So I decided to dedicate this whole episode to addressing your questions, the potential health issues related to EMFs, and what you can do to mitigate them.

My passion for learning about EMF exposure and mitigation is two decades in the making, born in earnest after three years of radiation sickness caused by living directly under two cell towers in a Los Angeles apartment. Despite my many years of deep commitment to health and nutrition, my life became almost unbearable during this period due to the high EMF levels in my home.

I honestly believe that EMF and non-native blue light exposure is as toxic and damaging as a junk food diet. But if you’re going to put all that effort and money into eating right — excluding GMO's, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, MSG, aspartame, other artificial sweeteners, toxic seed oils, trans fats, fried foods, fluoride, etc — and you're not addressing your energetic and light environment, you are missing the key to lasting health and vitality.

10:42 — So what are EMF's?

  • EMF stands for electromagnetic fields or frequencies. 
  • EMF's that naturally occur in the environment—such as solar radiation from the sun and the earth's magnetic field—are universal and supportive of life, generally. The EMFs we're talking about here are known as non-native EMF, created by humans and human-made technology
  • The various types of EMF include: 
  • Radio frequencies or RF (smart meters, cell phones & towers, cordless phones, microwave ovens, bluetooth-enabled devices, X-rays, MRIs, computers, baby monitors, WiFi, aviation radar, motion sensors, radio transmitters, and wireless or “smart” appliances)
  • Electric fields (wiring in buildings, power cables, computers, televisions, light fixtures, wall outlets, and various electronics, especially when plugged in)
  • Magnetic fields (appliances with motors, hairdryers, electric toothbrushes, vibrating sex toys, automobiles, power lines, and faulty wiring in buildings)
  • Dirty electricity (dimmer switches, fluorescent bulbs, faulty wiring, poorly designed or managed power grids, and some appliances and tech devices)
  • Geopathic stress (this is a natural form of EMF that is created by the sun's magnetic field when it meets cracks in the surface of the earth, known as lay lines or fault lines, or underground veins of running water)
  • Blue light (non-native blue light is light outside of the sun's natural spectrum of color, emitting a very narrow range of light, which is disruptive to our circadian biology)
  • Light flicker (junk artificial light produced by LED and fluorescent bulbs, phones, and computers turns on and off too fast to visually interpret, but still damaging to your eyes and brain)
  • Note: Although not technically EMF, I include non-native blue light and light flicker in my EMF mitigation strategy because they are an alien source of biological stress created by modern technology
  • Some proven physical consequences of EMF exposure include: oxidative stress, endocrine (hormones) system disruption, immune system, mineral depletion  (especially magnesium), and the creation of free radicals
  • Some common symptoms of EMF exposure include: sleep disturbances and insomnia, headache, depression and depressive symptoms, tiredness and fatigue, dysesthesia (a painful, often itchy sensation), lack of concentration, changes in memory, dizziness, irritability, loss of appetite and weight loss, restlessness and anxiety, nausea,  skin burning and tingling
  • "Effects of electromagnetic fields exposure on the antioxidant defense system"
  • "Effects of Electromagnetic Fields on Organs and Tissues - Assessment of the Possible Health Effects of Ground Wave Emergency Network"
  • The first thing to remember when learning about EMF is the power of thought. Fear and negativity put a strain on your nervous system, and living in a state of adrenalized paranoia are probably as bad as EMF exposure itself. So the key is to educate yourself and take reasonable steps to limit your EMF exposure little by little over time. 
  • My advice is to use positive intentions and prayer whenever you find yourself falling into a fear trap around EMF exposure. When you see a cell tower, for example, use the inner affirmation:
  • "I am an infinite being of consciousness. No harm can come to me. I am pure energy, temporarily using a body as a vehicle. I love myself, God loves me, I am safe, and I am protected." 

 

23:19 — Chad asks: What's your favorite/best full-body EMF-protection clothing? Any cost-effective hacks for getting a safe sleep space? I signed up for Luke's EMF course when it comes out!

 

26:30 — Sheridan asks: Is there a low EMF iPad cover for a toddler? I'm pregnant with twins and my energy to entertain in this season is very low!

 

29:46 — Cliff asks: What are your thoughts on low-EMF cooking?

  • A gas stove is best.
  • Remove your microwave oven, and if you can't remove it, at least unplug it. The only thing they're suitable for is storing your phone and devices, as microwaves are faraday cages—meaning they block radiation. 
  • Don't use overhead fluorescent tube lights on stove hoods, as they are high EMF and usually cause additional dirty electricity.
  • If you don't have a gas line into the house, replace your electric stove with a propane-fueled gas stove if you can afford it. Many rural homes run on propane, which is more expensive than natural gas, but unless you're heating a pool, it won't make much difference in monthly expenses.
  • Toaster ovens are safe as long as you keep your distance while they're on. They emit a strong electric field, as do all space heaters. 

 

31:18 — Jamie Asks: How do you rank the lesser of EMF evils for iPhone: iPhone on speakerphone holding in hand, iPhone with wired headset, or iPhone with bluetooth earbuds

  • Here are your cell phone options from best to worst:
  • No matter how you are using your phone, always keep it in a Defender Shield case, and once you've dialed or answered, close the case to block radiation coming from the front of the phone.
  • If there is WiFi available, keep your phone on airplane mode, deactivating cellular service and Bluetooth. Then use WIFI to make calls. This way, you're not pinging local cell towers with your phone's antenna and radiating yourself with added RF from the Bluetooth.
  • If you must use cell service, use Air Buds by Defender Shield. These are safer than regular wired headsets, as they do not carry EMF to your ears. Keep your phone as far away from you as possible while using it.
  • Next best is using speakerphone with your phone away from your body, with the Defender Shield case closed.
  • The second worst way to make calls is using wireless Bluetooth earbuds. This radiates your brain. 
  • The very worst way to use your phone is by holding it to your head. I would personally never put Bluetooth or phone near my head unless it was an absolute emergency.

 

34:07 — Joe asks: How do you guys feel about EMF-blocking phone cases like Defender Shield?

  • Phone cases like the one Defender Shield makes are exceptional, but keep in mind they only prevent radiation coming from the face of your phone, so it's still a good idea to keep your phone as far away from your body as possible while using it.
  • Based on my research, Defender Shield makes the best case.

 

34:55 — Kristina asks: Is EMF like radiation to a certain extent where you could take things like modified citrus pectin or apple pectin to detox your intestines to the effects—of course also using Blushield as well—or is it completely different?

  • The radiation from nuclear waste, radiated food products, X-rays, etc. is 'Ionizing Radiation’—the worst kind. 
  • EMF radiation is 'Non-Ionizing Radiation.' So yes, activated charcoal, bentonite clay, apple pectin, and the various binders can bind radioactive isotopes in your GI tract and remove them. 
  • Still, they will not affect radiation in the air, like the type we've discussed here.

 

36:44 — Joe asks: What does it feel like in your body to be around EMF?

  • It depends on each person's nervous system response. People who've experienced a lot of trauma tend to have limbic system damage, which results in higher sensitivity. 
  • Duration and proximity have a massive effect on how your body responds to exposure as well.
  • When I'm exposed to high-level EMF—like in modern automobiles, near cell towers, or high powered WiFi—my symptoms include: ringing ears, brain fog, extreme fatigue/grogginess, and insomnia followed by morning headaches.

 

38:38 — Kelly asks: What do you do when it feels like there isn’t enough you can do to protect yourself and your family?

  • It can be challenging to wade through science and use discernment when knowing who to trust in terms of recommendations. It's also much more challenging to reduce EMF in your home if the family is not on board. 
  • The first thing to do is hire a building biologist like Brian Hoyer. The guesswork is draining. Plus, you might find that your home is not as bad as you had guessed. Of course, sometimes it's much worse. But at least you have a starting point.
  • If your family can see and hear the EMF meters in action, it will likely get them on board more than they are. Seeing is believing, as they say.
  • I would add a harmonizing device like Somavedic or Blushield to the house. No one even needs to know you installed it, and they will still benefit. They won't block EMF, but they help create a more harmonious energy field in the home. 
  • Then, as always, do your best to keep WiFi off at night when people are sleeping. 

 

48:38 — Sarah asks: I can't sleep on my metal coil mattress anymore without tossing and turning over the microwave of EMF conductive frequencies. I'm looking to get fancy bedding free of metal, but I'm sleeping on an air mattress until then. Anyone with similar bedding hacks?

  • This makes perfect sense, as metal coils in mattresses do turn your entire bed into a massive EMF antenna.
  • I did a solo show all about healthy mattresses in Episode 236.
  • The organic or healthy mattress marketing is so confusing and competitive, much like the sauna industry.
  • I still have a Casper and it's fine for me now as it's not incredibly toxic and is comfortable.
  • The ChiliPAD makes sleep amazing.
  • Rather than spend thousands on a super deluxe mattress, I would invest in Magetico Sleep Pads, which creates a natural, Earth-like magnetic field with incredible health benefits. I've been sleeping on one for ten years. They are not cheap, but you only buy them once in a lifetime. 
  • Here are a few mattress brands I've looked into:
  • Avocado mattresses have metal coils.
  • Essentia is one of the best, but expensive.
  • Saatva
  • Zenhaven
  • The Rolls Royce of organic mattresses is Samina. Once I can afford their beds, I will invest. Like the Magetico Sleep Pads, Samina is a one-time purchase. 
  • Learn all about Samina's sleep systems in episode 16 and find my mini-documentary on Samina beds on YouTube. It's called The Healthiest Bed In The World. You will learn tons about healthy bedding and sleep in that video and podcast!

 

54:20 — Quinton asks: PSA: check your building & surroundings for cell towers. I just discovered this disaster of an EMF nightmare right above my apt. (Been living here five years)

  • I've been there. It truly is a nightmare to discover you are living near a cell tower—a rude awakening.
  • Use www.anteneaserch.com to locate towers near any US address before moving or working anywhere.
  • Quentin also had 3 additional questions:
  • (1) Are there any medical tests I can get to trace potential health risks?
  • Since EMF radiation is energetic and not a toxin that can be measured in your body, I don't know how to assess exposure damage. It will cause inflammation and oxidative stress, but there is no way to test for that and see that it was from EMF. Living life causes oxidative stress, so you would never know.
  • (2) Can I sue the building for not advising tenants of this? Building owners get paid from phone companies to install them.
  • I'm no attorney, so I'm not sure about the liability. Check out www.takebackyourpower.net for tons of excellent legal advice and support. 
  • (3) Does anyone have a recommendation of the best EMF/radiation tracker device to check levels?
  • There are a few amateur ones on my site, and it's worth having a couple around, but this will never replace a professional home assessment. The cheaper meters will give you a general idea of EMF levels and location sources, but in terms of creating a safe home, I would not rely on them. I tried that and failed.

 

59:42 — Molly asks: For those of you that work in an office setting, what have you done to make your desk as low EMF as possible? I know just being in the office is pretty bad, but does anyone have any tricks to make what they can control at their workspace as low EMF as possible?

  • For this, you can install harmonizing devices (Somavedic or Blushield), which will help
  • Wearing EMF clothing at work, or at least while sitting at your desk for long periods, would help
  • Have your computer hard wired to Ethernet, if possible, and turn off its WIFI
  • Use a wired mouse and keyboard and turn off Bluetooth
  • Depending on how weird you can act or look at your job, you could install shielding fabric from Shielded Healing around your desk. If you have your own office, you could have the walls painted with shielding paint. This is tough without testing, as you would need to determine the level of EMF in the room and from which directions it's coming.
  • Don't work near a cordless telephone, and if you must, cover it with shielding fabric while you're near it
  • Keep your cell phone on airplane mode, or out of reach, and use your computer for texting instead

 

01:04:04 — Kourtney asks: Low radiation & EMF headphones for speaking on the phone. Needing to reduce phone to head contact but need calls to be private/not on speaker still.

 

01:05:17 — Brian asks: My wife is hellbent on painting a portion of our dining room, and I'm wondering what to do since there is a cell tower about 3/4 of a mile away from us directly behind the wall with the windows. I've wanted to get a building biologist here to do proper testing and get appropriate recommendations, and I know that is the answer. But does it make sense at all to paint that wall with a shielded paint? It's on the lower level, and we don't spend a ton of time directly in that room, but it would potentially block a decent amount of radiation…

  • You already know the importance of getting accurate readings, but in the meantime, I would for sure paint the wall facing the towers with shielding paint, and have shielding fabric sewn onto the curtains.

 

01:07:16 — Kisha asks: Does food pick up radiation from an airplane flight as humans do?

  • I would never eat food or drink non-bottled drinks from flight service. Nor would I eat any food heated in a microwave. 
  • As to whether or not residual radiation is present in the food when you eat it, microwave radiation does turn your food into something foreign and toxic to the body. It distorts the molecular integrity and depletes the nutritional integrity of the radiated food. 

 

01:11:01 — Kevin asks: I need to get an X-ray taken of my neck (4 views) and wondering if I should be worried about the radiation? My insurance won't let me get an MRI without getting an X-ray first, even though it is what I need. Is there anything I can do to protect myself from the radiation?

  • I always avoid MRI's and X-rays whenever possible, but sometimes it's hard to avoid when dealing with structural issues in the body. 
  • I would make sure to do a few days of detox using binders like charcoal and saunas. Do the Quicksilver Scientific black box detox after exposure to heavy metals or high dose radiation.
  • Also remember to think positive thoughts and energize loving, kind emotions while inside the MRI
  • Don't forget—your body creates a magnetic field, and your mental and emotional energy fortifies it

 

01:15:25 — Giovanna asks: Hello friends! Looking to spread the knowledge to my loved ones about why they shouldn't use a microwave. Any useful scientific resources you can share that don't involve listening to a podcast?

  • My aversion to microwave ovens is based on common sense. I ask myself: Are there microwave ovens in nature? Did God make them? Has it been proven to me that they don't cause harm? If the answer is no, I'm out.
  • Also remember the futility in trying to control others, as much as we might love them. Folks generally want to be left alone, to make choices for themselves. As a parent, you typically have more agency over decisions like this, as you must protect your offspring. 
  • A quick google search presents articles and videos that say microwaving can be "an even better way to keep more nutrients in food than baking or cooking in a pan." This is likely the censorship and misinformation propaganda being perpetrated by the corporate monsters who control big tech. This is especially true if you are using Google. 
  • Try doing your research with the Duck Duck Go browser for less 'curated' search results.

 

01:18:50 — Aaron asks: EMF Building Biologist Question... how far from a high tension power line is "safe" to be? A mile? Five?

  • As for power lines, distance depends on the type of lines, the presence of transformers, etc. My house is quite close to the power line in front, yet there is minimal magnetic field emitting. 
  • However, some very tall, high tension power lines emit insane levels of the magnetic field directly below them, hundreds of feet away. So, without testing, it’s guesswork.
  • However, it is much easier to test for magnetic fields using a small, inexpensive meter than testing for cell towers due to the complexity of RF signals. 
  • Aaron adds: how FAR from a 5G city is still "safe?” Did Jack Kruse mention this in a podcast?
  • This would require accurate testing, as not all cell towers are created equal. They vary drastically in power output and in the various frequencies they emit. All the frequencies are harmful, but the 4G and 5G frequency ranges are the most troubling. 
  • Many people don't realize the 4G network is worse than some of the new 5G networks.
  • Frequencies in the 10-20GHZ range are as troubling as the first phase of some 5G services, which use the same or sometimes even lower frequencies.
  • The 5G issue is extremely confusing, as many people are unaware that there are two phases to the 5G rollout. Although 3G, 4G, and 5G are damaging to all biological life forms, the scarier 5G that people are worried about is the short-range, high power millimeter waves—the same frequencies used by military radar crowd dispersants weapons. 
  • This 5G infrastructure level is the most disconcerting, as it requires many more cell sites and closer to buildings due to their inability to penetrate solid objects easily.
  • So the smart thing to do, in my opinion, is to live and work somewhere that does not yet have 5G or has banned its installation. 
  • Lower population density areas are best. A town of 10k will have exponentially lower RF levels than a city of 50k, and so on. 
  • To add another level of complexity, some towers are short-range, using lower power transmission, while others are long-range, using lower power. So safe distance is tough to measure without using meters. 
  • If you think about what life was like 200 years ago, there was ZERO non-native EMF in the environment. So this is why I believe living in remote areas is best, and in almost all cases where ANY cell service is present, it's best to test and shield your home, or at least bedroom.
  • I'm looking to live somewhere where there is no cell service at all. But many are unable or unwilling to live this remotely, which I understand.

Are you aware of the dangers of EMF exposure in your home, but have no idea where to start when it comes to finding, and fixing them? 

Are you concerned about your exposure to the current 3G, 4G, and 5G wireless networks now activated in most major cities?

Have you attempted to test the levels yourself using EMF meters you found online and ended up confused and frustrated?

EMFs (electromagnetic frequencies) are one of the most toxic elements in our living and work environments. Due to the technical nature of accurately testing for them—and the training required to do so properly—many of us resign ourselves to the fact that we just have to accept them and the consequences they bring in order to use the modern technology we depend on. But you don’t have to.

In this seven-part video documentary series, you will follow world-renowned building biologist Brian Hoyer as he tests an entire home, room by room, to determine the source and level of every known type of EMF.

By the end of this series, you will not only be thoroughly educated on the various types and sources of EMF commonly found in homes but also of the many mitigation tools and techniques available thanks to the cutting-edge technologies.
