Who Cares About EMF? Why Should You?
Table of contents
In our modern world, we are surrounded by technology. From smartphones to Wi-Fi routers, smartwatches, and wireless headphones, electronic devices have become an integral part of our daily lives.
But what if these devices are silently affecting our health?
More and more prominent figures – from medical professionals and researchers to public figures and athletes – are raising alarms about the potential dangers of electromagnetic fields (EMFs). But why should you care? Here, we break down three compelling reasons: if you're sick and want to get well, if you're invested in preventive care, and if you're striving for peak performance.
Who’s Talking About EMF?
Doctors Raising Awareness
From renowned neurologists to functional fitness doctors to radiologists, experts in the medical field are sharing their concerns over the impact of this invisible threat. Dr. Jill Carnahan is a board-certified integrative medicine physician who has extensively studied the effects of EMF on brain health. She warns, "EMFs can disrupt the delicate balance of brain chemistry, leading to symptoms like headaches, insomnia, and even cognitive decline." A cancer patient herself, Dr. Carnahan is on a mission to promote whole-person health and wellness, and that involves attacking toxins from every angle. Hear more from Dr. Carnahan on the Wave Forward Podcast.
Dr. Robert Turner, a skilled neurologist and epileptologist, recently spoke about the harm of EMF on key systems in the human body , linking EMF exposure to cardiovascular problems and an increased risk of certain cancers. He also warns about the likelihood of EMF interfering with the body’s natural metabolic processes, potentially leading to issues down the line such as insulin resistance and chronic inflammation.
According to Dr. Rob Brown , a board-certified diagnostic radiologist, “EMF, like many other toxins, causes oxidative stress which brings the damage right down to the cellular level . If the cell is under stress then it doesn’t function properly, and you can extrapolate that to organ systems. Eventually the whole organism can become damaged because the individual cells are stressed.”
In addition to using Aires Tech’s advanced, proven EMF protection , the doctors interviewed on the Wave Forward Podcast have shared a few other pieces of advice when it comes to protecting your body from the harmful effects of EMF exposure:
Turn off Wi-Fi routers at night
Used wired connections instead of wireless where possible
Keep electronic devices away from the bedroom to improve sleep quality
Use speakerphone or wired headphones during calls to minimize direct contact
The Academic World Speaks Out
Dr. Martin Pall , Professor Emeritus of Biochemistry and Basic Medical Sciences at Washington State University, is one of many researchers in the world of academia who is making a scientific appeal to take EMF exposure seriously. In his 2017 letter to the governor of California, he states, “Thousands of published studies show biological and health effects from electromagnetic fields. This new understanding means we can debunk the claims of the wireless industry…The 20 years plus of industry propaganda claims are false.”
Research scientist and the first president of the Environmental Health Trust, Dr. Devra Davis , has authored over 200 peer reviewed publications in books and journals ranging from the Lancet and Journal of the American Medical Association. She testified in the 2009 Senate hearings on cell phone radiation and has published numerous studies on the health effects of EMF exposure. Studies have linked EMF exposure to an increased risk for certain cancers, and as Dr. Davis says, “Do you want to play Russian Roulette with your brain?”
Aires Tech has published extensive research showing how LifeTune devices protect our bodies from EMF exposure by converting this energy into a form compatible with our biology. Withdrawing from technology altogether is not always a realistic option in our modern world, but modulating technology offers a layer of protection from the constant bombardment from EMFs.
Dr. Kent Chamberlin, Professor Emeritus in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of New Hampshire, is now the president of the Environmental Health Trust. He served on the New Hampshire State Commission that was convened through legislation to explore the impacts of wireless radiation and works with legislators and community groups around the world to share information about the harm of EMF exposure to our bodies and our environment. Hear from Dr. Chamberlin on the Wave Forward Podcast.
Public Figures Pushing for Change
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. , a prominent environmental attorney and American politician, is a vocal advocate against the unchecked proliferation of wireless devices. He argues, "We need to take a precautionary approach to EMF exposure. The potential health risks are too significant to ignore."
Celebrities like Lady Gaga, Tom Brady, and Gwyneth Paltrow are all turning a concerned ear to new findings about the potential harm of EMF. Paltrow states, “It’s almost impossible to remember a time without smartphones, which makes it equally easy to forget that the technology is still relatively new, with safety requirements that, for the most part, are generally untested. The scientific community’s rumblings about brain cancer and the new-to-us affliction “electro-sensitivity” are worth exploring.”
Athletes Aiming for Peak Performance
In recent months, top athletes have turned to using EMF protection to achieve optimum health and performance in their sport. UFC fighter Maycee Barber states, “As a professional athlete, maintaining my health, wellness, and recovery is vital. I conducted thorough research on the impact of electromagnetic frequencies (EMF) on our bodies, leading me to seek a company with expertise in counteracting EMF’s harmful effects.”
Other professional fighters are following suit after the UFC announced its official partnership with Aires Tech earlier this summer. Professional athletes like RJ Barrett , a Canadian basketball player, have spoken out over the importance of protecting our bodies from EMF exposure. Tom Brady shared his tips for reducing wireless exposure, such as turning electronic devices off before going to bed.
And that's just the beginning! More and more athletes are turning toward EMF protection every day. Check out the latest athletes who are using Aires Tech to protect them from the harmful effects of EMF exposure.
Why Should You Care?
Talk of EMFs and the risks associated with exposure to these hidden frequencies is everywhere. What was once considered an issue only discussed by “alternative” health outlets is now catching air time on the mainstream media. With cell phones and wireless technology being a constant in our day to day lives, this is an issue that affects us all. But why specifically should we be concerned?
Relieving Sickness and Mystery Symptoms
With mental health issues and unexplained physical ailments on the rise, a common question has arisen. Could our devices be making us sick?
Perhaps not the devices themselves, but the radiation emitted from these devices is having a real and measurable impact on our bodies. On The Wave Forward Podcast, guests have shared stories of mental and physical challenges that they ultimately linked to EMF exposure.
Nutritionist and cookbook author Shirley Plant struggled with insomnia and migraines before her doctor suggested she look into EMFs. She hired an environmental EMF expert to measure the EMF levels in her home, revealing her exposure was off the charts. After mitigating this exposure through going back to wired technology and purchasing EMF protection devices, her health improved dramatically.
Her story is one of many similar accounts of people with sensitivity to EMF finding relief from their symptoms when they put measures in place to mitigate their exposure. Common symptoms associated with EMF exposure are:
Headaches
Fatigue
Insomnia
Anxiety
Dizziness
Difficulty Concentrating

Preventing Future Illness
Preventive care is all about taking proactive steps to protect your health before issues arise. With the rapid rise in wireless technology, reducing EMF exposure is an important part of this strategy.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), part of the World Health Organization, has now classified radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (EMFs) as potentially carcinogenic to humans . This specifically refers to an increased risk in glioma, which is a malignant brain cancer.
A key concern shared by much of the population researching EMF exposure is the simple fact that we do not yet have long-term data on the effects of wireless technology. Smartphones, Wi-Fi, and 5G are relatively new. It is impossible to know exactly what the long-term effects of exposure to this technology will bring, which is why it is so important to find ways now to reduce its potential impact on our bodies. Reducing exposure is especially essential for children . Not only are their bodies more vulnerable to the effects of EMF, but today’s children are going to have a much longer cumulative exposure to EMFs than an adult as they are growing up with this technology since birth.
Achieving Peak Performance
For athletes and anyone whose life requires intense physical strength and endurance, reducing EMF exposure can contribute to achieving peak performance. Many top athletes are recognizing the benefits of EMF protection, such as LeBron James who incorporates EMF protection devices into his recovery routine.
How can reducing EMF exposure contribute to achieving optimum physical performance? To begin with, EMFs can wreak havoc on sleep. Studies have shown exposure to EMF increased wakefulness. We know sleep is essential because our bodies go through different processes that restore and repair our cells and systems. Sleep also supports the immune system, helping us fight off illnesses and infections more effectively. To function at our highest potential, we need good sleep. And with too much EMF exposure, good sleep can be hard to get.
In addition to sleep disturbances, EMF exposure can lead to other health challenges such as headaches, dizziness, vertigo - all symptoms that can hinder performance on the field, the court, or in the ring.
Athletes can be especially susceptible to the effects of EMF because of the impact of oxidative stress. This is essentially the body’s reaction to environmental stressors. These stressors can vary from pollutants and drugs to the radiation that EMF emits. The more stressed the body is, the less capable it is of regulation. Since exercise itself releases a form of oxidative stress, athletes who are already overexerting themselves may by less equipped to filter out further stressors brought on by EMF exposure.
As technology continues to evolve and integrate into our lives, it's crucial to be aware of the potential health impacts of EMF exposure. Prominent medical professionals, researchers, public figures, and athletes are taking EMF seriously, and for good reason. Whether you're sick and seeking wellness, invested in preventive care, or striving for peak performance, reducing EMF exposure can have significant benefits.
Take the time to educate yourself about EMFs and consider implementing simple measures to protect yourself and your loved ones. Your health and well-being are worth it.
