Ever read the fine print of your cellphone’s owner’s manual? If so, it likely recommends that your device be kept at least one inch away from your body to ensure that you don’t exceed safety limits for electromagnetic frequency (EMF) exposure.

EMFs, invisible waves of energy, are often referred to as radiation. As the number of human-made EMF emissions continues to increase exponentially, it’s no longer just cell phones emitting EMF. We now have Wi-Fi, wireless thermostats, wireless speakers, smart refrigerators, numerous Bluetooth
devices, and more.

This said, one source of EMF accounts for more of our daily exposure than others. 97% of Americans own a cellphone. The average person spends about 5 hours per day on their device. Furthermore, most people keep their cellphones near their bodies all day and night. Modifying your cellphone habits can significantly impact how much EMF radiation your body absorbs daily.

This is important because EMF frequencies can negatively impact your health. What constitutes excessive exposure varies by individual and could result in insomnia, headaches, tinnitus, dizziness, fatigue, stress, greater risk of cancer and neurodegenerative disease (includes Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s), potential fertility issues, trouble concentrating, learning and memory deficits, nausea, night sweats, and more.

Although the medical jury may still be debating this matter, I’ve seen a good number of clients benefit by reducing their EMF exposure. It never hurts to try. 

Of course, none of us want to believe that this could be true. It’s inconvenient. 

Cellphones and other EMF-emitting devices will only continue to become an even more integral part of our daily lives. Here are several ways to protect yourself from excessive exposure:

Cellphone Hygiene

• Keep phone more than 1 inch away from your body at all times.
• Don’t sleep with your phone on in your bedroom.
• Keep phone on Airplane Mode when not in active use.
• Use Speaker Phone rather than place the device next to your ear.
• Use earbuds if a headset is needed.
• Use phone only when the signal is strong, as radiation increases when it is weak (1-2 bars).

Landlines
Opt for corded landlines. Cordless phone base stations emit high levels of radiation.

Wi-Fi
Turn off Wi-Fi router when not in use, especially at bedtime.

Wearables
Avoid wearables such as wireless watches, sleep monitors, headsets, and fitness devices

Smart Meter Programs
Opt out of your electric, water, and gas utilities’ smart meter program. I tried this, but was unsuccessful. ConEd agreed that I had the right to opt-out due to health concerns. However, they deemed that they had the right to charge me a penalty of $100 per month for exercising that right.
