I sat down with R. Blank, CEO of Shield Your Body and author of Empowered, to cut through the EMF noise with clear science and practical steps. If you've ever wondered what EMF actually is, what's hype vs. real risk, and how to reduce exposure without abandoning modern tech, this conversation is for you.R. breaks down ionizing vs. non-ionizing radiation, why your cell phone is the #1 avoidable source, and the “distance × time” rule that drives smarter habits. We get tactical: building a low-EMF bedroom (no phones, battery-powered alarm clocks, low-blue rechargeable lamps), why a meter beats guesswork, when to de-energize a circuit at night, safer audio (air-tubes over AirPods), and how to configure your phone radios (airplane mode, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth off when you don't need them). We also compare shielding products vs. Faraday gear, when apparel makes sense (travel and high-density environments), and how to think about privacy tools like Faraday wallets and laptop sleeves.If you want data-backed, low-friction ways to protect sleep, focus, and long-term health without quitting your devices, you'll love this one. You'll walk away with a simple rule (“stop carrying your phone in your pocket”), a bedroom checklist, and a clearer map for what to change today and what, if anything, to buy later.Timeline Mitopure Gummies: GET 20% Off Now!

What if your dream job slipped away before a human ever saw your résumé? In this thought-provoking episode of The Healthier Tech Podcast, we explore how artificial intelligence has become the invisible “brick wall” between employers and job seekers — and what that means for your career, creativity, and mental wellbeing. The hiring process has changed dramatically. Most companies now rely on AI to scan résumés, filter candidates, and decide who gets an interview. But what happens when algorithms start rejecting great people for the wrong reasons? We break down the hidden biases, the loss of human touch, and the psychological toll of endless silence after “submitting your application.” Here's what you'll hear about: How AI résumé scanners are quietly shaping the future of hiring Why “keyword optimization” might be costing you opportunities The emotional side of AI-driven rejection and the rise of learned helplessness The hidden cost to creativity and diversity when pattern-matching replaces intuition Why networking and referrals are becoming the new “bypass” to beat the bots The deeper philosophical question: What are we really optimizing for—speed or humanity? This episode isn't anti-technology—it's a wake-up call. As we rush toward AI-powered efficiency, are we losing the empathy that makes hiring (and working) human? Tune in to learn how you can stay authentic in a world that's training people to write like robots just to impress robots.

What if online harassment isn't random at all—but part of a strategy? In this explosive episode of The Healthier Tech Podcast, host R Blank talks with Viktorya Vilk, Director of Digital Safety and Free Expression at PEN America, about how governments, corporations, and tech platforms are turning the internet into a weapon against free speech. Viktorya reveals how political power, economic pressure, and digital surveillance now intersect to create an ecosystem where journalists, writers, and even librarians are targeted for speaking out. She breaks down how authoritarian tactics, media consolidation, and platform indifference have combined to make the online world hostile to truth—and what each of us can do to push back.   In This Episode: How the U.S. dropped to 57th in global press freedom rankings—and why that's not an accident The chilling new playbook: online harassment as a censorship tool Why Big Tech's business model thrives on surveillance, fear, and silence How Facebook and Google siphoned 70% of online ad revenue, collapsing local journalism Real-life examples of reporters attacked, arrested, and digitally terrorized for telling the truth The practical digital safety steps every person can take—starting today Why Viktorya refuses to give in to “tech nihilism” and insists users have power   Why You Should Listen This isn't just a podcast about harassment or privacy—it's about democracy, power, and your voice. Viktorya explains how the same digital forces that endanger journalists are eroding safety and free expression for everyone. But she also shares concrete tools to rebuild your sense of control online: from password hygiene and privacy audits to collective advocacy that pressures tech platforms to act responsibly. She makes one thing clear: silence is the goal of harassment—and awareness is the antidote.   Connect With Viktorya Vilk: Website: https://pen.org Social Handles: LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/viktorya-v-a65b9235/ X: @VilkViktorya   Resources Mentioned in the Episode: Field Manual Against Online Harrassment: https://onlineharassmentfieldmanual.pen.org/  Online abuse & Digital Safety Programs: https://pen.org/online-abuse-digital-safety/  Treating online abuse like Spam: https://pen.org/report/treating-online-abuse-like-spam/ Shouting into the void: https://pen.org/report/shouting-into-the-void/  No Excuse for abuse: https://pen.org/report/no-excuse-for-abuse/    Connect with R Blank: For more Healthier Tech Podcast episodes, and to download our Healthier Tech Quick Start Guide, visit https://HealthierTech.co and follow https://instagram.com/healthiertech    Additional Links: EMF Superstore: https://ShieldYourBody.com (save 15% with code “pod”) Digital Wellbeing with a Human Soul: https://Bagby.co (save 15% with code “pod”) Youtube: https://youtube.com/shieldyourbody Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bagbybrand/  Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bagby.co Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shieldyourbody  This episode is brought to you by Shield Your Body—a global leader in EMF protection and digital wellness.

Today, we're diving deep into the acceleration gap that's reshaping how we think, work, and connect. While privacy regulations are still catching up to yesterday's problems, artificial intelligence has already sprinted years ahead, creating a chasm between innovation and oversight that affects every tech-conscious person. We'll explore the psychology behind our relationship with convenience and efficiency. Why do we keep choosing the shortcut? What happens to our cognitive muscles when we stop flexing them? And how close are we getting to that fictional future where humans float in chairs while machines handle everything? But this isn't just about technology—it's about reflection. The tools we create mirror what we value most, and the choices we make today are quietly shaping tomorrow's digital landscape. Key questions we'll tackle: Is the real issue AI moving too fast, or humans moving too slow? What's the difference between helpful assistance and cognitive dependency? How do we maintain our humanity when machines can mimic almost everything we do? Where's the line between personalization and control? If you've ever wondered whether your digital tools are truly serving you—or if you're starting to serve them—this conversation will give you a fresh perspective on navigating our rapidly evolving tech landscape.

“Enough is enough.” That's the rallying cry of more than 100 health advocacy groups uniting under the banner of 704 No More™ — a coalition determined to restore local governments' rights over the placement of cell towers and antennas. Why? Because in 1996, Congress quietly passed Section 704 of the Telecom Act, which stripped local communities of the ability to fight these towers on health or environmental grounds. Nearly three decades later, wireless infrastructure has multiplied, exposures have intensified, and communities remain powerless. In this episode of The Healthier Tech Podcast, host R Blank sits down with longtime health advocate Camilla Rees and telecom attorney Scott McCollough, Esq., to uncover: How industry lobbying created Section 704—and why it still protects profits over people The science regulators ignore: decades of Navy, NASA, NIH, and EPA studies showing EMFs disrupt DNA, immunity, and ecosystems Why you can't sue for property loss or illness when a tower goes up near your home The safer alternative: how fiber-to-the-home could cut EMF exposure by hundreds of times while keeping fast connectivity Why the FCC is one of the most captured agencies in Washington—and what it means for your health This episode dives deep into health, rights, and the hidden history of U.S. telecom policy.

This week, Tee welcomes R Blank, CEO of Shield Your Body and author of the new book Empowered. Together, they dive into one of the most overlooked health issues of our modern age — electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation — and how it's quietly impacting our sleep, health, and well-being. R shares insights from years of research, including working alongside his father, renowned EMF scientist Dr. Martin Blank, to break down the science behind EMFs — from the spectrum of radiation to the crucial difference between ionizing and non-ionizing types. He also debunks the myth that non-ionizing radiation is harmless, citing studies that link everyday exposure to serious health effects, including sleep disruption, fertility issues, and even cancer. Listeners will walk away with practical, easy-to-implement strategies to reduce EMF exposure — from simple behavioral changes and distance tactics to using shielding technologies like the SYB Phone Pouch and SYB Wrist Band. R also discusses why children are particularly vulnerable and shares safer alternatives to high-EMF devices like baby monitors and wearables. The episode explores how cumulative and concurrent exposures add up over time, why even small changes can make a difference, and how we can embrace technology without compromising our health. R's actionable tips for creating low-EMF bedrooms and safer personal spaces make this a must-listen for anyone looking to make informed, proactive choices in our increasingly wireless world.

What if one simple change to your bedroom could help you sleep deeper, reduce pain, calm anxiety, and even clear your skin? That's the power of grounding — reconnecting your body to the Earth's natural energy. While it may sound unconventional, research (including gold-standard, double-blind placebo trials) shows grounding measurably improves sleep, inflammation, and overall wellbeing. In this episode of The Healthier Tech Podcast, host R Blank sits down with Reed Wommack, founder of GroundLuxe, a company making high-quality grounding sheets, mats, and pillowcases to bring grounding into your daily life.

Are you addicted to your phone—or just trained to be? In this episode of The Healthier Tech Podcast, we dive into the clever world of physical tools for digital wellness with David Woodward, co-founder of Mindsight. Once a pet product entrepreneur (yes, he made the squeaky toy your dog loved... and you barely tolerated), David now designs devices that help people unplug, refocus, and live more intentionally. His flagship product? A timed phone lockbox. It sounds extreme, but it's changing lives—from breaking scrolling habits to curbing smoking, overspending, and late-night doomscrolling. Here's what we explore: How a literal box is beating screen addiction when apps can't Why fortress mode (30 days, no override) is digital rehab in a box Wild user stories—like casino-goers locking up their winnings The psychology of self-imposed tech boundaries The evolution of the “Breathing Buddha,” a screen-free meditation device Why the future of digital wellness might be more analog than you think If you've ever said, “I just want to use my phone less,” but couldn't quite follow through—this one's for you. Ready to reclaim your time, attention, and sleep? Tune in to this powerful conversation—and if it resonates, share it with a fellow phone addict.

The Pentagon just signed a contract worth up to $200 million with Elon Musk's xAI, bringing Grok—yes, the same chatbot known for snappy one-liners—into the heart of U.S. defense operations. It's called “Grok for Government,” and the pitch is bold: AI that can process oceans of security data, write official reports, and accelerate decision-making at the highest levels. But here's the twist. Days after the deal, Grok made headlines for producing offensive and harmful outputs, sparking outrage and raising one very big question: should a machine this unpredictable really be trusted to shape government decisions? In this episode, we dive deep into the promises and perils of putting generative AI in charge of security. We'll unpack: The speed factor: how Grok could transform intelligence analysis by condensing tens of thousands of reports into actionable insights in seconds. The transparency crisis: what happens when citizens can't challenge AI-driven government decisions because no one knows how the algorithm made them. Accountability dilemmas: when an AI makes a bad call, who takes the blame—the agency or the developer, or no one at all? Bias and reliability: why generative AI's “fluent but unreliable” outputs are especially risky in national security contexts. The psychological layer: how trust, anxiety, and public confidence are shaken when people learn machines, not humans, are influencing authority. The philosophical question: should technology ever be trusted with life-and-death decisions without deep human oversight? This isn't just about the Pentagon. It's about how AI is colliding with ethics, digital wellness, and our collective sense of trust in technology. It's about whether faster, smarter government also means safer, fairer government—or whether we're handing over too much power, too soon. AI promises speed. But speed without fairness is dangerous. Intelligence without accountability is hollow. And efficiency without ethics can erode democracy itself.

What if every hesitation, every curiosity, and every secret you typed into your browser was quietly feeding an AI assistant that doesn't just help you—it shapes you? In this episode of The Healthier Tech Podcast, we dive into the AI privacy dilemma—a debate at the crossroads of digital wellness, surveillance, and convenience. Browser assistants are getting frighteningly good at their jobs: Auto-filling forms, translating languages, blocking threats, and even shopping for you. Predicting your habits and moods by analyzing every click, scroll, and pause. Collecting data so intimate it makes “private mode” feel like a bad joke. Sounds helpful—until you realize convenience has a price. At what point does assistance tip into intrusion? Do these AI tools make life easier, or are we just trading privacy for a digital babysitter? And when the machine knows you better than your own family, who's really in control? We'll break down: Why personalization always demands exposure. How “incognito mode” is anything but private. The illusion of control when you click “allow.” The future of browser assistants: ethical AI, on-device processing, and whether it's enough. This isn't just about tech—it's about what it means to stay private, human, and free in a world where your browser has stopped being neutral. If you've ever wondered where the line between help and surveillance is drawn, this episode will make you rethink how you browse. Subscribe now and tune in—you won't want to miss this one.

Illinois just sent a shockwave through the digital wellness and AI ethics space with the WOPR Act—a new law that stops AI from replacing human therapists or making independent clinical decisions. At a time when therapy chatbots are becoming more advanced, more available, and more human-like than ever, this move forces a question we can't ignore: should your mental health care ever be left entirely to an algorithm? In this episode of The Healthier Tech Podcast, we dig into the heart of the WOPR Act and explore why Illinois is saying “humans only” when it comes to therapy. It's a conversation about patient safety, ethics, and the very definition of care in the age of artificial intelligence. Here's what we cover: How AI therapy tools work, and why they've grown so popular so fast. The risks AI can't see—like micro-expressions, body language, and the unspoken clues only humans can catch. Real-world stories of AI therapy helping people, and the scenarios where it could dangerously miss the mark. Why “better than nothing” isn't always better when it comes to mental health care. The difference between real empathy and simulated empathy, and how it shapes trust. The ethical stakes: when corporate motives meet vulnerable minds. Why Illinois decided to act now—and what it signals for the future of AI in healthcare. Whether you're fascinated by technology, concerned about its limits, or passionate about mental health, this episode offers a thought-provoking look at the intersection of AI, ethics, and human connection.

The surprising science behind wine and longevity—and why most wine labels are hiding something from you. Why nicotine patches (yes, really) are part of her focus and productivity routine. The hidden toxins in your coffee cup and how Melanie is working to fix it. How her upcoming dating app will filter matches by dietary and drinking preferences. And so much more… If you've ever wondered how someone can juggle multiple wellness ventures while still making time for a nightly wine ritual, this episode is your blueprint. It's part science, part lifestyle design, and part insider look at the health-tech industry—told with honesty, curiosity, and more than a little humor.

Most people think non-ionizing EMF from phones and Wi-Fi is harmless. But the World Health Organization classified radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as a possible carcinogen in 2011. And a recent meta-analysis of over 100 studies found significant associations between long-term cell phone use and brain tumors. Yet most people carry these devices against their bodies all day. Today, we're answering: What does science say about EMF safety? What free protection strategies work? How do you spot real protection from marketing hype?

In this episode of The Healthier Tech Podcast, we take a playful but eye-opening look at the rising generation of tiny tech users—kids who can swipe, tap, and scroll before they can even write their own names. But behind the cuteness is a serious question: Are we raising digital natives or digital dependents?

What if you could reverse your biological age, boost your brainpower, and sleep like a baby—using just cold showers, glucose monitors, and a ring on your finger? In this wildly entertaining and thought-provoking episode, we dive headfirst into the world of biohacking—the movement that's turning health into a high-tech DIY experiment. Is it a real revolution in wellness, or just the latest Silicon Valley wellness flex? Here's what you'll discover in this episode: Why tech entrepreneurs are spending millions a year to age backward The wild experiments of Bryan Johnson, including metrics you never thought needed tracking What “optimizing your mitochondria” actually means (and why people are obsessed with it) The philosophical side of biohacking: is it personal empowerment—or just data addiction? Why tracking your sleep might actually be ruining it The uncomfortable truth about who can afford to biohack Are wearables helping you tune in—or tuning you out of your own body? We'll also explore how biohacking is reshaping digital wellness, the risks of going too far, and what this movement says about the future of personal health in a tech-driven world. Whether you're a die-hard health hacker or just wondering if buttered coffee is worth the hype, this episode breaks it all down with insight, humor, and a healthy dose of skepticism. Is biohacking the key to a better life—or just a better-looking Instagram post? Tune in to find out.

What if that “healthy” salad is actually wrecking your system—while supercharging someone else? In this episode of The Healthier Tech Podcast, we explore the wild, wonderful, and slightly weird world of personalized nutrition—where AI meets DNA, and your meals are no longer based on food pyramids and health trends, but on your biology. We break down the science and philosophy of this fast-growing field, including: Why two people eating the same food can have completely different outcomes How AI-powered apps can now recommend meals based on your sleep, stress, and blood sugar What your genes are secretly telling you about your metabolism, cravings, and vitamin needs The powerful promise of tech-driven food freedom—and where it all starts to get a little creepy But this episode doesn't stop at the shiny stuff. We take a deep look at the ethical minefield underneath the surface: Who really owns your genetic and biometric data? Can you really trust the algorithms telling you what to eat? Are we trading self-awareness for convenience—and calling it health? Because while AI and genetic insights can help us personalize our wellness, there's a fine line between empowerment and dependence. Between data-driven clarity—and losing your gut instinct. This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating the future of tech-life balance, digital wellness, or just trying to figure out why that green smoothie feels like sabotage some days. Tune in now to rethink everything you thought you knew about healthy eating—and how your tech might be making the decisions for you.

Are wellness apps changing your life—or just tricking your brain? In this mini episode, we dive headfirst into the world of gamified wellness—where every step, sip, and stretch becomes a competition. Health apps are turning self-care into a game, but here's the twist: it might not be making you healthier at all. What you'll discover in this episode: Why your brain loves points, badges, and streaks (and how apps exploit that) How fitness games like Zombies, Run! and Apple Watch rings push people to move—sometimes a little too much The dark side of mindfulness apps that reward you for “relaxing” Why short-term motivation often crashes without long-term meaning The real science behind habit change—and what gamified apps often miss We're not anti-tech—we're pro-awareness. This episode cuts through the hype and asks the questions nobody else is: Are these apps supporting your wellness journey, or are you just chasing digital trophies? If you're into digital wellness, tech-life balance, or just tired of being nudged, pinged, and gamed in the name of “self-care,” this one's for you. Listen now—and rethink the games your wellness app is playing. This episode is brought to you by Shield Your Body—a global leader in EMF protection and digital wellness.

Are your steps being counted… or tracked? In this mini episode of The Healthier Tech Podcast, we peel back the polished face of wearable health tech to ask the uncomfortable question: Are you trading privacy for progress? From sleep tracking and stress monitoring to “healthy” insurance assessments, your favorite fitness gadgets may be doing more than just helping you live better—they might be watching, recording, and sharing. Here's what you'll discover: Why wearable devices like Fitbits and Apple Watches are goldmines for health data—and who else is cashing in The shocking story of Sarah, whose smartwatch helped her get insurance—and quietly raised her premium How corporate wellness programs can blur the line between support and surveillance What really happens when your heart rate, sleep quality, or stress levels fall into the hands of insurers or employers The hidden risks of sharing your health data (even when it feels harmless) Why data security breaches in wearable tech could expose more than your step count What you can do today to protect your personal health information without tossing your tracker Whether you're a techie, a health nut, or someone just trying to close those rings, this episode will make you think twice about how your gadgets treat your privacy. Tune in now and find out how to take control of your data while still embracing the best of digital wellness.

Ready for a reality check on your wellness gadgets? In this episode of The Healthier Tech Podcast, we yank back the curtain on the brave new world of AI-powered self-care—and ask whether your “smart” coach is a lifesaver or a data-hungry overlord. What you'll hear in five fast-paced minutes: From step counters to mind readers Discover how today's AI tools detect stress in your voice, predict burnout from heart-rate variability, and tailor workouts on the fly—no human trainer required. Chatbots with couch credentials Meet Woebot and Wysa, therapy bots using evidence-based techniques. One has already logged over five million private conversations—yours could be next. Your breath, decoded Lumen's handheld sensor analyzes a single exhale to reveal whether you're torching carbs or fat, then spits out meal plans driven by machine-learning models of real-world metabolisms. Wearables that learn you Whoop bands and Oura Rings don't just track sleep; they study it, adjust recovery advice in real time, and promise a fitter, sharper you—if you dare share the data. Selfies for science L'Oréal's Skin Genius AI turns your phone camera into a pocket dermatologist, flagging pores and pigmentation before you spot them in the mirror. The privacy trade-off We break down the fine print no one reads: when mood logs, late-night journals, and breathing patterns become gold mines for advertisers—and how to protect yourself. Key takeaways: AI can supercharge digital wellness, personalizing everything from mental-health check-ins to nutrition plans. But unchecked, it can blur the line between self-care and surveillance. Use the tech—just don't let it use you. This episode is brought to you by Shield Your Body—a global leader in EMF protection and digital wellness.

Today, we're honored to have a true trailblazer in the realm of electromagnetic field (EMF) protection and home wellness – Andrew McAfee. Based in Raleigh, North Carolina, Andrew's journey is a testament to turning personal challenges into a quest for solutions.   He is also the inventor of the ground-breaking NCB, which is available at Shield Your Body. This is the world's first product to safely strip dirty electricity and contact current from the grounding conductor. Andrew explains today how the NCB is different from other dirty electricity filters, what dirty electricity is, and how it can often manifest in electro-sensitivity.    In this episode, you will hear:  What electro-sensitivity is, how it manifested for Andrew and his wife, and the levels of perception.  Defining dirty electricity (DE).  How electricity affects the infections in our bodies.  Things power companies, homeowners, and corporations can do to help clean up dirty electricity.  The necessity for health standards, not just fire safety standards in building codes.  The NCB Pro and why it addresses the grounding conductor, unlike other dirty electricity filters.  The key difference between the NCB and the NCB Pro.  Handling dirty energy in your apartment.  Diseases and other conditions caused by electrical sensitivity.  Your grounding is dirty and dangerous until proven otherwise.    A seasoned EMF consultant, Andrew's story began with a realization—health issues tied to wiring problems in his own home.    After moving into a brand new home Andrew and his wife became electrically sensitive in 2001. He was fortunate to have Charles Keen and Karl Riley as early mentors. Beginning in 2010 Andrew successfully petitioned the NC Utility Commission to order Duke Energy to provide a no-cost, non-emitting meter for its customers.   After 15 years as Principal Horn of the NC Symphony, earning a master's degree in conducting, and 10 years as a professor of music at UNC Chapel Hill, he left music to help others with ES. Andrew was featured in a 2014 TIME docu-film “Searching for a Golden Cage” about electro-sensitivity.   In 2017, he made the leap to become a full-time EMF consultant, channeling his knowledge into creating safer living spaces for all.   Utilizing electrical training materials from Mike Holt, Andrew earned a Residential Electrician's Career Diploma in Penn Foster's year-long program in 2019.  In 2020, he wrote 6 short books as a part of his Killing Current series to raise awareness about the dangers of contact current, and in 2021 co-created a web course “Staying Healthy in a 5G World.”    Fast forward to today, and Andrew stands as the innovative mind behind the NCB Pro, a groundbreaking solution reshaping the landscape of home grounding safety. As a career diplomat in residential electricity, he brings a unique blend of expertise and passion to the world of EMF protection.   He currently works full-time for Bonneville Electric as a project manager and service technician and has earned an OSHA 10 safety certification.   He is also the inventor of the ground-breaking NCB, which is available at Shield Your Body.   Connect with Andrew McAfee: Website: https://www.homeemftracing.com/    Find out more about the NCB at: https://shieldyourbody.com/ground      Connect with R Blank and Stephanie Warner:  For more Healthier Tech Podcast episodes, and to download our Healthier Tech Quick Start Guide, visit https://HealthierTech.co and follow https://instagram.com/healthiertech   Additional Links: Shield Your Body website: https://ShieldYourBody.com Shield Your Body Youtube Channel: https://youtube.com/shieldyourbody Host R Blank on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rblank9/ Shield Your Body on Instagram: https://instagram.com/shieldyourbody

Today, we're honored to have a true trailblazer in the realm of electromagnetic field (EMF) protection and home wellness – Andrew McAfee. Based in Raleigh, North Carolina, Andrew's journey is a testament to turning personal challenges into a quest for solutions. He is also the inventor of the ground-breaking NCB, which is available at Shield Your Body. This is the world's first product to safely strip dirty electricity and contact current from the grounding conductor. Andrew explains today how the NCB is different from other dirty electricity filters, what dirty electricity is, and how it can often manifest in electro-sensitivity.    In this episode, you will hear:  What electro-sensitivity is, how it manifested for Andrew and his wife, and the levels of perception.  Defining dirty electricity (DE).  How electricity affects the infections in our bodies.  Things power companies, homeowners, and corporations can do to help clean up dirty electricity.  The necessity for health standards, not just fire safety standards in building codes.  The NCB Pro and why it addresses the grounding conductor, unlike other dirty electricity filters.  The key difference between the NCB and the NCB Pro.  Handling dirty energy in your apartment.  Diseases and other conditions caused by electrical sensitivity.  Your grounding is dirty and dangerous until proven otherwise.    A seasoned EMF consultant, Andrew's story began with a realization—health issues tied to wiring problems in his own home.  After moving into a brand new home Andrew and his wife became electrically sensitive in 2001. He was fortunate to have Charles Keen and Karl Riley as early mentors. Beginning in 2010 Andrew successfully petitioned the NC Utility Commission to order Duke Energy to provide a no-cost, non-emitting meter for its customers. After 15 years as Principal Horn of the NC Symphony, earning a master's degree in conducting and 10 years as a professor of music at UNC Chapel Hill, he left music to help others with ES. Andrew was featured in a 2014 TIME docu-film “Searching for a Golden Cage” about electro-sensitivity. In 2017, he made the leap to become a full-time EMF consultant, channeling his knowledge into creating safer living spaces for all. Utilizing electrical training materials from Mike Holt, Andrew earned a Residential Electrician's Career Diploma in Penn Foster's year-long program in 2019.  In 2020, he wrote 6 short books as a part of his Killing Current series to raise awareness about the dangers of contact current and in 2021 co-created a web course “Staying Healthy in a 5G World.”  Fast forward to today, and Andrew stands as the innovative mind behind the NCB Pro, a groundbreaking solution reshaping the landscape of home grounding safety. As a career diplomat in residential electricity, he brings a unique blend of expertise and passion to the world of EMF protection. He currently works full-time for Bonneville Electric as a project manager and service technician and has earned an OSHA 10 safety certification. He is also the inventor of the ground-breaking NCB, which is available at Shield Your Body.   Connect with Andrew McAfee: Website: https://www.homeemftracing.com/    Find out more about the NCB at: https://shieldyourbody.com/ground      Connect with R Blank and Stephanie Warner:  For more Healthier Tech Podcast episodes, and to download our Healthier Tech Quick Start Guide, visit https://HealthierTech.co and follow https://instagram.com/healthiertech   Additional Links: Shield Your Body website: https://ShieldYourBody.com Shield Your Body Youtube Channel: https://youtube.com/shieldyourbody Host R Blank on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rblank9/ Shield Your Body on Instagram: https://instagram.com/shieldyourbody
