We're surrounded by technology every day, but few of us stop to think about how it might be impacting our bodies. From the phone at your bedside to the Wi-Fi running all night, EMFs (electromagnetic fields) could be quietly affecting your hormones, energy, sleep, and even fertility. That's why I sat down with Dr. Stephanie McCarter, a physician who has spent years studying how our environment shapes our health. She makes this complex topic surprisingly relatable and gives us plenty of reasons to start paying closer attention. Dr. Stephanie shares some eye-opening stories and statistics, especially around how EMFs may be influencing children and pregnant women. More than just facts and figures, she offers everyday strategies you can easily bring into your own routine. She breaks down easy, practical changes that can lower your exposure without making you feel like you have to unplug from modern life. What I love about this conversation is hearing Dr. Stephanie's own journey from traditional medicine into environmental medicine, and how it completely reshaped the way she helps her patients. And if you're craving even more support for your own energy, hormones, and midlife health, I'd love for you to check out my 10-day masterclass at dranna.com/breeze. It's an easy, affordable way to hit reset and start feeling like yourself again. Key Timestamps: [00:00:00] Welcome to The Girlfriend Doctor Podcast [00:06:22] EMF exposure and health risks.
