Get ready for an immersion into the crazy world of EMF! Brian Hoyer is a geobiologist behind the company ShieldedHealing.com and he is going to walk us through the science of the voltage-gated calcium channels and how EMF’s promote stress hormones and free radical damage, and what you can do to protect yourself. Don’t worry if some of the terminology is over your head, Brian does a great job keeping the dialogue understandable and offering practical solutions at every turn. I learned a ton in this episode, and am inspired to take action on a top-10 list of immediate steps to take to make your home safer. You’ll get the list at the end of the show. Here’s a quick big picture view of the issue at hand: We are bombarded with unnatural electric and magnetic frequencies in high tech modern life (hence the term EMF) that mess with our cellular function. Specifically, EMF causes our calcium channels to open, causing calcium to flood the cell and generate free radicals. No bueno. This free radical production spikes the prominent stress hormone cortisol.  The EMF issue is drastically more destructive at night because this is when we exit sympathetic mode and (ideally) enter parasympathetic dominance to facilitate rest and repair during a good night’s sleep. Hence the discussion zeroes in on optimizing your bedroom environment. That’s right, you don’t have to get overwhelmed and further stressed about ditching your office job or your cell phone! You will be super-motivated to clean up your bedroom environment though.  Here’s the top-10 list of immediate things you can do to minimize the damaging effects of EMF:   Airplane Mode: Turn cell phone to airplane mode overnight. If you are an on-call physician like my sister Dr. Kate Kearns, go ahead and turn off Cellular Data in the Settings menu (iPhone) instead. WiFi Off: Turn router off at night: Don’t worry, the Internet will be there in the morning! Unplug: For all plugs near your bed, use a wireless remote control outlet so you can turn off a whole power strip at once. Ethernet: Use long ethernet cable for internet instead of WiFi when possible. Incandescent: Get incandescent bulbs of maximum wattage (150w) to avoid the harmful flickering of LED and fluorescent bulbs. Power bank: If you insist on recharging your phone at your bed, use a power bank instead of a plug.  Battery laptop: When working on laptop, try to operate off battery power instead of plug to minimize EMF. Molecular hydrogen boost: Put some H2 Elite tablets into water and drink like Alka-Seltzer. It does some immediate cellular cleanup. Supplements can really help with detox and free radical damage. Some of the leading suggestions are NAD for anti-inflammatory. Liver and bone marrow help with methylation. Transdermal magnesium oil is one of the most urgent supplement needs for all. Get outside: Getting the electrical energy from the sun and the earth is the healthy kind of electrical charge that helps optimize cellular function.  TIMESTAMPS: Brad and Bryan examine what is happening as technology advances with 5G. Is it a good advance? [03:06] What is the effect on the human body of these cell towers? [09:01] When your cells sense a voltage shift, it causes inflammation. [12:04] There is little dispute in this information. [14:37] This damage to your cells is more severe at nighttime than during your busy day. [18:22] There are eight hours at night that your body does healing therapy. You don’t need to be connected. [22:45] Often the electrical wiring in your home has not been done correctly. [24:32] You can create an ancestral sleep environment with curtains and paint. [29:39] REM is your brain resetting.  This can be disrupted when your sleep is disturbed. [32:48] How does one paint this shielding paint in the rooms they want? [34:44] You can start by unplugging. [36:31] Is there a way one can opt for lowering the pulsing electricity coming into the house? [44:44] The Smart Meter creates dirty electricity. [45:51
