Or we have AirPods on our head with a signal going through our brain two, three, six hours a day. A lot of people I know now work with AirPods and they could have these in for eight hours a day. The jury's still out on this, but the questions remain around, is this safe for humans, or is it negatively affecting our biology?
And that's the question that I think is worth asking, and that was the experiment that I kind of wanted to do when I was in Costa Rica. What if I just create an environment in my house that's zero EMF, zero RF EMF? And so there are meters that sample the radio frequency range of EMF, and you can look at my house, and it's .05 microwatts per meter squared in my house, .05.
When I'm mostly, like if I'm in Los Angeles just walking around the hotel, it's usually 1,000 or 2,000 microwatts per meter squared. If you hold this device up to your cell phone, it could be anywhere from 30,000 to 3 million microwatts per meter squared.
So we're talking about orders of magnitude, and we just don't really fully understand if these are benign for humans. When you run a microwave and you hold the device a few feet from the microwave, you're getting...
two to three million microwatts per meter squared so you know your mom might have said this to you when you were growing up don't look at the microwave don't stand there because that microwave radiation is pouring out of the microwave and we don't really know what it does to humans well by wearing air pods you are essentially walking around with a small low-powered microwave on your head all day long interesting and i just i just think it's interesting that we are so easily you know
We're just dismissing it. I mean, I've, you know, I went to a gym when I was in Washington, D.C., a Lifetime Fitness, and every single person in the gym is wearing AirPods. And again, this is not hyperbole. I like connecting with people, and every single person is in their AirPod world or their sort of, you know, Bluetooth headphone world. So that's, we need to ask questions.
And potentially, the people that it is most relevant to are children. Because children are developing and they're growing, and how does a child's brain react? Should a child be sitting around for hours a day with an iPad on their lap that is putting out thousands, tens of thousands of microwatts per meter squared onto their developing sex glands and hormones and thyroid and brain?
And that's not to mention the screen that they're looking at, which is full of blue light and flickering and doing all these things that are potentially affecting their neurotransmitters or their attention span, disrupting their circadian rhythm. So we have devices are everywhere. They're a part of our lives. I'm not saying we should get rid of them.
I'm just saying we should ask some reasonable questions and really take an honest look at the literature.
This is what's interesting, and I hope this changes now with Meta's policies, but I do content about this and it gets fact-checked on Instagram. I do content about raw milk, it gets fact-checked. I do content about seed oils, it gets fact-checked. When I do this content, I'm not... doing it from the hip, right?
I'm citing articles, but in the past, and again, hopefully Zuckerberg is changing this, in the past, they could just say, no, we're using this fact-checker's article. Your stuff is false. So who knows? But yeah, the EMF stuff is real. I don't know how much it affects humans. My subjective experience is I feel better when I'm in a lower EMF environment.
There's a lot of variables there and it's impossible to do a single variable experiment. Humans have never been exposed to this much EMF and I don't think we know how it's affecting us.
You don't want to do that with a paint because then it starts reflecting, right? Interesting. So imagine like putting a mirror.
As long as you have curtains... that also block it because it'll come through the window.
Right? And then you think, is it ricocheting? Is it bouncing around? So I don't think painting the walls is a good idea. The easier thing would be to just turn off the Wi-Fi router at night and not have your cell phone next to your bed and turn your cell phone on at airplane mode and put it away. You can, I mean...
In most places, unless you live in New York City in a high-rise apartment or a condo with a bunch of other apartments around you, you can get down to pretty low levels of RF EMF just by doing those things. I'm talking 50 to 100 microwatts per meter squared. that's pretty easy to get to if you just turn off the devices at night.
And that's a much lower exposure than 1,000 or 2,000 or 10,000 that many of us are being exposed to constantly in these urban environments. If you live in New York City, I mean, amazing city, and you're in a high-rise building and you look at how many Wi-Fi networks there are, you might see 50. And in that case, you're probably going to have to build a curtain around your bed to block the RF EMF.
That's an option, too, and you can put something on the floor. But again, it's difficult. I wouldn't paint your walls just because that's a little trickier condition. But you can construct a Faraday cage. On Amazon, for $20, you can buy a Faraday bag. I mean, you're probably familiar with Faraday bags from your work. You know, you can buy a Faraday bag to go around your Wi-Fi router.
So when I'm traveling at Airbnbs, I'll just bring a Faraday bag and I'm not turning off the Wi-Fi in my Airbnb so I can work in the day or my team has to work. But at night, nobody's working, we'll just turn off the Wi-Fi. And during the day, I'll just put a Faraday bag around the router and it decreases the signal, but you can still use it. So there's ways to mitigate it. And I just, I think...
What's the better part of valor here? I'm just going to be cautionary here and see because I'm just not complacent about that kind of thing. It's all interesting, and it all contributes to human health.
