I got into a surprising discussion with 2 people about EMFs and their impact on health. Both are “scientists,” and one is a Naturopath.

They claim that based on the way the waves interact with the human body (or don’t), that there is no validation for the statement that EMFs can be dangerous.

What’s your opinion? What evidence do you have to support it?

I admit to not being a “physics” person, and not really jumping in and understanding the science from a physics perspective. I do have a “sense” that it can’t be good, and I’ve seen clinically how people‘s health can get disrupted. They attribute that to the “Nocebo” effect – meaning they react poorly because they expect to.

That may be the case for some, but all too often, we see clients who don’t even know anything about the effect of having the cell phone by the head at night, and are having disrupted sleep, moods, digestion blood sugar, and more – and when we can convince them to remove the EMF sources in the bedroom, they feel better.

I’d love to discuss this on a call or in the Facebook group, or both. Please post any studies or articles you find compelling. Thanks so much.

I do a lot of reading – only I don’t actually read, I listen. I find audio books are a great way to learn while exercising, cleaning, driving, and other activities that don’t require mental focus.

I’m currently ‘reading’ Dr. Tom O’Bryan’s “You Can Fix Your Brain,” and finding it very well written and interesting. He does a good job of making the science understandable, while using metaphors that make it easy to remember.

I think it would be a good resource for fun metaphors and explanations for your clients. I don’t know about you, but I see lots of people with neurological issues. Many can’t sleep, have tons of cognitive decline and memory problems, and experience a fair amount of depression and anxiety.

He lays out a 30-day program that includes much of what we teach here, like how to heal the gut, clean up environment, movement, food, and nutrients.

A couple of quick things that stood out for me:

• bleeding gums, say with flossing or irrigation, can be a sign of leaky gut and leaky brain
• excessive exercise (like marathon running) can have a negative impact on the microbiome

The BrainTime site I mentioned above is a good resource to add to the suggestions in this book.

Dr. Tom’s book is on Amazon and in other bookstores.
