Few people realize that the invisible web of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) surrounding us - from power lines to Wi-Fi routers and cell phones - are listed as possible carcinogens by the World Health Organization.

With modern life demanding constant connectivity, it’s easier than ever to brush off or underestimate the true risks of EMF exposure. We trade health for convenience without ever being told what the science is really saying, or how to protect ourselves without going off the grid.

This episode pulls back the curtain on the pervasive health impacts of EMFs and offers simple steps for minimizing your exposure while still living in the real world. The strategies you’ll hear come from someone who’s seen both the science and the everyday reality, making his approach refreshingly actionable for everyone.

R Blank is the author of "Empowered" and co-author of "Overpowered," books addressing the health effects of electromagnetic fields (EMF) and practical solutions for safer technology use. He is the founder and CEO of Shield Your Body, a brand focused on EMF education and protection products, and began his journey in this field through his father, Dr. Martin Blank, a leading EMF health researcher. He is also the host of ‘The Healthier Tech Podcast’, a show about finding a healthier relationship with modern technology. R's work bridges scientific research and everyday practice, drawing on decades of study and engagement with organizations such as the World Health Organization.

“There are things that we do because these risks are part of life, and EMF exposure is a part of life.” - R Blank

In this episode you will learn:

• What electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are, their different types, and how human-made EMFs have become pervasive in modern life.
• The scientific evidence linking EMF exposure to a range of health issues - including cancer, autoimmune conditions, and disruptions to animal and plant life.
• Why EMFs from power lines, electrical appliances, and wireless technologies are classified as Class 2B carcinogens by the World Health Organization.
• The historical context behind EMF research, including parallels to scientific debates around tobacco and other environmental hazards.
• Simple strategies to reduce EMF exposure in everyday life, such as changing device habits, increasing distance from sources, and using protective products.
• How to approach EMF risk reduction in a practical way - emphasizing awareness, moderation, and choosing meaningful changes over aiming for an impossible zero-exposure lifestyle.
