My Journey from EMF Blockers to Scientifically-Backed Safety

Guest Post: Written by Kyle Smith, Dual-Certified Holistic Health Coach

 

In 2016, I found myself in my college apartment, multitasking as usual, with my laptop perched on my lap, notebooks spread around me, and a Ben Greenfield podcast streaming through my Bluetooth headphones. It was during that episode that I first heard about electromagnetic fields—EMFs—and their potential impact on health. I was skeptical at first; the idea of invisible waves around us causing harm seemed, well, invisible. But curiosity won over, and I began digging into everything I could find about EMFs and their links to fatigue, oxidative stress, hormonal disruption, and even cognitive decline.

As a CHEK Certified Holistic Health & Lifestyle Coach and someone who has always been drawn to uncovering hidden health disruptors, I decided to take small steps toward reducing my exposure. I stopped placing my laptop on my lap, turned off WiFi and Bluetooth on my phone when not in use, and began grounding myself regularly by walking barefoot. While these were good starting points, they were far from a complete solution.

When I joined Ben Greenfield’s team in 2021, I started looking at EMF protection from a new perspective. Conversations I had with Ben and our eventual partnership with Aires Tech led me to think more critically and scrutinize the methods I used to protect myself. I’ll admit I had previously been one of those people who bought $10 EMF “blocking” stickers off Amazon, hoping they’d solve my problem. They didn’t—and it wasn’t long before I realized why.

The Problem with “Blocking” EMFs

The concept of “blocking” EMFs sounds simple, but in practice, it’s deeply flawed. EMFs are everywhere—emanating from our devices, WiFi routers, and even environmental sources. Blocking them with stickers or similar products doesn’t make much sense because if EMFs are blocked entirely, devices wouldn’t work at all. Blocking attempts can even backfire: I once spoke with a fellow RV-dweller who shared how installing EMF blockers in her trailer caused her family to suffer from migraines, skin issues, and nausea. It turned out that the blockers had trapped EMFs inside, creating a charged environment that exacerbated symptoms instead of reducing them.

After joining the Aires Tech team in 2023, I realized that effective EMF protection had to go beyond “blocking.” Aires Tech’s approach, which focuses on modulation rather than blocking, impressed me with its scientific foundation. Their technology doesn’t attempt to create an impenetrable barrier but instead neutralizes EMF waveforms, making them biologically compatible and less disruptive to our cells. This approach sets Aires Tech apart from the simplistic and often ineffective blocking solutions on the market. As Josh Bruni, CEO of Aires Tech, often has said to me, “EMF blockers don’t work.” True EMF safety comes from modulation, aligning EMF frequencies with our biology rather than pretending we can hide from them.

During my first few months at Aires Tech, I spent many hours on the phone with the founder, Dimitry Serov, learning about the unique and ultra-impressive inception of the company. In the late 1990s, Dimitry’s father and a team of researchers in Russia were tasked with solving a pressing government issue: soldiers guarding radar sites were falling ill from the high levels of radiation exposure, requiring rotations every two hours. This led to the development of groundbreaking EMF modulation technology to protect the soldiers. It wasn’t until 2012 that Aires Tech turned this innovation into a portable, consumer-friendly solution powerful enough to handle the increasing radiation from modern technology.

Aires Tech and Athletes: Enhancing Performance with EMF Modulation

As someone who grew up in competitive but less mainstream sports like motocross, wrestling, and Jiu-Jitsu, it’s been incredible to see Aires Tech conducting performance testing with top athletes from the UFC and NASCAR. For high-performance individuals, the risks of EMF exposure are magnified. Athletes depend on rapid recovery, mental acuity, and hormonal balance—all of which are vulnerable to EMF interference. Constant EMF exposure has been shown to slow recovery, disrupt sleep, and lead to oxidative stress, potentially diminishing physical resilience and cognitive sharpness.

Aires Tech’s technology, however, is providing these athletes with a measurable advantage. At a leading sports training facility, testing showed that using Aires Tech products led to a .5-second improvement in reaction times. For athletes, that fraction of a second is a game-changer. This improvement goes beyond merely “blocking” EMF effects; Aires Tech’s modulation actually enhances cognitive performance, helping athletes to surpass their average baseline. It’s not just about protection; it’s about providing a competitive edge, an advantage that’s as essential as any piece of training equipment.

Environmental Toxins: The Invisible Threats to Our Health

Throughout my career, I’ve focused on uncovering the hidden environmental toxins that disrupt our health in ways we don’t always see. Today, many people are thankfully waking up to the reality that our U.S. food supply is loaded with toxins—from pesticides to artificial additives in processed foods. But when it comes to less visible disruptors like EMFs, synthetic fragrances, and microplastics, many people’s eyes still glaze over. The idea of “invisible killers” sounds paranoid to some, yet the science shows otherwise.

These invisible disruptors impact us profoundly. Synthetic fragrances disrupt hormone balance; microplastics are found in our food and water, building up in our bodies; and EMFs silently interfere with cellular function, increase oxidative stress, and undermine our immune defenses. As I share on my blog, these aren’t just fringe concerns. I dive deep into the research and present real studies showing how these invisible toxins compromise our health.

For those willing to look, the research is clear: EMFs and other environmental toxins play a substantial role in the health crises facing society today. The science-backed approach offered by Aires Tech isn’t about inciting fear; it’s about empowering people to make informed decisions. These invisible threats may not be mainstream knowledge yet, but ignoring them won’t make them any less dangerous.

My Top EMF Protection Recommendations for Clients and Readers

Protecting yourself from EMF exposure involves a combination of technology, lifestyle habits, and dietary choices. For my coaching clients and readers of my blog, I recommend a holistic approach to EMF safety, blending practical steps with scientifically-backed tools to support overall health and resilience.

1. Use Aires Tech for Protection at Home and On the Go

Aires Tech products are a cornerstone of my EMF protection recommendations. These devices are designed to modulate EMF frequencies, making them biologically compatible and less disruptive to our systems. I advise my clients to use Aires Tech Lifetune products in their homes, placing one near common electronics like routers and workspaces, and carrying a portable device like the Lifetune Go or Flex for on-the-go protection in today’s wireless world. Use code "kyletothemoon" to save 25% on Lifetune products.

2. Turn Off WiFi and Bluetooth When Not in Use

Many devices search for WiFi and Bluetooth signals constantly, even when they aren’t actively being used. By turning these off when they’re not needed, you reduce unnecessary EMF exposure and save battery life. Make this a habit at night and whenever you don’t need connectivity—your body will thank you for the break.

3. Follow an Antioxidant-Rich Diet

EMF exposure can lead to oxidative stress, which is why I strongly encourage clients to support their bodies with an antioxidant-rich diet. Foods like berries, leafy greens, turmeric, and dark chocolate are full of antioxidants that help combat free radicals, reducing the damage EMFs may cause at a cellular level.

4. Keep the WiFi Router Out of Bedrooms and Main Living Areas

WiFi routers emit EMFs constantly, even when you’re not actively using the internet. Placing the router away from high-traffic and resting areas, like bedrooms and living rooms, helps minimize exposure. Ideally, turn the router off at night or, even better, use a timer to automatically disconnect it while you sleep.

5. Ground Yourself Regularly

Grounding, or earthing, is a simple and effective way to balance your body’s electrical charge. By walking barefoot on natural surfaces like grass, sand, or soil, you allow excess positive charge to dissipate into the ground. I recommend grounding daily, even for just 10–15 minutes, especially if you live in a city or are frequently exposed to electronic devices.

6. Avoid Carrying Your Phone in Your Pocket

Keeping your phone in close contact with your body, especially in a front or back pocket, can increase localized EMF exposure. Use a bag, briefcase, or hold it in your hand when possible. If you need to carry it on your person, put it on airplane mode, which cuts off the EMF emissions from cellular, Bluetooth, and WiFi signals. Yes, this still applies with a Lifetune One on your phone, because there is a thermal heat that comes from cellphones which is proven to kill sperm and cause a host of fertility issues.

7. Switch to Wired Connections Where Possible

While wireless devices are convenient, they’re also a significant source of EMF radiation. I recommend using wired headphones when possible. Wired options reduce EMF exposure and often provide faster, more stable connections. If I do opt for Bluetooth headphones while working out, I use over-the-ear headphones that I can place a Lifetune One on for protection.

8. Limit Time Spent on Devices Close to the Body

Devices like laptops, tablets, and phones emit EMFs close to your body when used directly on your lap or chest. I recommend using a desk or table when working on laptops and placing devices on surfaces rather than your body. For phone calls, use speakerphone or a headset to keep the phone away from your head.

9. Create an EMF-Free Sleep Environment

Restorative sleep is crucial for health, and reducing EMF exposure while you sleep can support better recovery. I suggest clients create an “EMF-free zone” in the bedroom by turning off or unplugging electronic devices, removing any electronics from bedside tables, and using blackout curtains to reduce outside light pollution.

Each of these steps builds on the others to create a more resilient, EMF-conscious lifestyle. By incorporating these practices, you’re not only reducing your exposure but also actively supporting your body’s ability to handle the stresses of modern, connected living. For those looking to dive deeper, I frequently cover EMF science and practical solutions on my blog kyletothemoon.

Closing Thoughts: EMF Awareness as a Lifestyle

As someone who has spent years diving into health and wellness, I know firsthand how EMF protection has become a non-negotiable part of my lifestyle. It’s not about avoiding technology or being paranoid; it’s about making educated, intentional choices for better health. Aires Tech is more than a solution; it’s a movement that invites us to rethink our relationship with EMFs and technology.

In a world where invisible waves surround us, protection goes beyond “blocking” or shielding ourselves from the world. True EMF safety is about modulating our environment, harmonizing our spaces, and protecting our bodies without cutting ourselves off from the benefits of modern life. The Aires Tech solution is for anyone who seeks not just health, but a life aligned with natural harmony—a powerful tool for anyone ready to step beyond the myths and embrace true protection.
