Well, especially with the nervous system, it's electrical. And so like, relies on, on pulses and neurons and different electrical signals within the body. And so when you have an external environment that's not conducive to allowing those signals to be free and clear. You know, whenever you go with, whenever you talk about electrical signal or communication, it's always about the signal being clear. And so a lot of times with the nervous system, the signals aren't clear because you've got interference. You know, and in communication, we talk about electromagnetic interference can cause buzziness, static, or like, if you've got a television, the reception cannot be clear. You have to change the antenna so you can get better signals. And so in the nervous system, a lot of times what happens is it's, it's. We don't, we're not getting clear signals. And that can be structural. You might have to change your antenna or the lattice of how your antenna is receiving things. And there's lots of things you can do that way. But there's also a huge part of getting a good signal is the environment. So, like if you're trying to get a signal from your satellite and there's a storm out there and there's clouds going in front of your antenna, or it snows and it covers your satellite, you have to, have to clear that signal. The environment's causing all this fuzziness. So a signal is not getting through. And so what happens a lot of times with our nervous system is it's trying to subtly communicate. Hey, this, this part of the body needs, needs some healing. We need nutrients here. You know, it's time to go into REM sleep. It's time to repair this part of the body. But it's got all of this interference, and so those signals are not getting through. And the interference that I'm talking about here is electromagnetic interference. Also. There's pulsing visible light. Light is a type of electromagnetic radiation in the visible spectrum. And so, you know, we want everything to be ancestral, natural, what our bodies have been used to for thousands or millions of years, whatever you believe. And that's the environment that we want our bodies to be in so that we can have. Be in a more natural state that doesn't have all the interference from modern electronics and modern lighting that causes a lot of pulsations and the wrong frequencies of light at the wrong time of day, which can throw off your circadian rhythm, which has a whole lot to do with your nervous system signaling. You know, the goal is to get out of this stressful pulsed environment and figure out, okay, how can we reset the nervous system if you've got this crazy chaos going on, how do we make it more ancestral? How do we take out all this pulsed, these pulsed frequencies and replace it with a calm environment where not only the lighting is better, but the electrical signals around you are not impacting your body and pulsing it at 120 times per second, 60 hertz. That's what our electricity runs on. But how do we get it to where things are? A more calm dc direct current environment. That's what we get from the Earth. That's the type of light that we get from the sun. That's direct beaming light. How do we get there and make it so the nervous system can finally be calm and get clear signals?

B (8:00)

Got it. No, that's eloquently put. And I think it's easy to discount something like this as, okay, yeah, maybe that stuff is out there, but it's minor. It's not really impacting me or my child. And that's where the way I look at this is that this whole idea of eliminating noise, this stress this toxic burden that's out there. Depending on what's going on with your child, it very well may be part of what's at the root of why they're exhibiting the way they are. But even if it's not part of a root cause, it's absolutely something that, if just left as is, could definitely be the root cause of why your child may not progress the way you're hoping. Because this environment, this toxic load, is making it so hard for them. Would you agree with that?

A (8:45)

Yeah, a hundred percent. I mean, the, the first thing that you do with anyone who is sick is you, you. You look at their environment. You know, I don't know, maybe some of you have watched the show House MD from from a little, little bit ago, but one of. He used to have a team that would diagnose, like, patients that get all these weird cases and come in on the show. And he, he'd sent. The first thing he would do is he'd send his team to the patient's house to check their house, and he was checking the environment so that they could get the proper diagnosis and see if there's anything in the environment that's contributing. Because that's all part of, like, the equation of figuring things out. And so it's the same with when your child's sick or, or whatever. Like, you know, when my kid gets sick, I'm like, okay, what did you eat? That's the first question. Like, like, where were you? What did you touch? Like, you know, who are you with? Were they sick? You know, that sort of thing. And so the environment is super important for answering a lot of the questions that you have. But you have to nail down the foundational environment. You can't get healthy in a moldy home. You can't get healthy in a home that's full of chemicals that are releasing toxic gases everywhere. And you can't get healthy in an environment where you're constantly pulsed by WiFi, radiation, cell phone radiation, radio towers, the electricity pulsing you in from the, from the walls, like right next to where you're sleeping. Some people, they're sleeping right on the other side of their electrical box, and there's a huge magnetic field that's pulsing back and forth 120 times per second. And all their cells are feeling that on this micro level. So, you know, there's just a lot of environmental factors that once you get those in place and your body is free of those stressors, then a lot of times you break through to the next level of healing, and it's not necessarily that you're doing all the supplements right, you're doing all the food right and everything like that. Those are definitely very, very important pieces. But you know, what I found in my nutrition practice when I first started out doing this work was that if I didn't have the environment right, that a lot of the stuff that I was doing nutritional wise and supplement wise, took two to three times longer to heal the people that I was working with. And so once I started getting these environmental pieces in, mitigating the EMF in their sleeping environment mainly and then also addressing the lighting environment in people's homes, that's when I would see like, oh my gosh, they only have to spend half the amount of time taking this supplement. Instead of a, you know, thousand dollars package of supplements, it ends up being a $500 package of supplements. And then they can, you know, they can spend that money towards EMF mitigation, changing their lights out, things like that. And down, down the road they're actually saving a lot of money because every single thing they do is working better and faster.

B (11:56)

Yeah, that makes sense. And I think when you talk about how everyone, you know, there's some things that obviously can cause harm and you need to be aware of it. Things like, let's say mold or if your child's eating processed food and chemicals and the like, there's a lot of things that might be relevant for your child. Even metals toxicity could be a big root cause. So those are all like possible factors of what's toxic in your environment and for your child. Some may be more relevant than others. But what I think about this whole idea of EMF and light is that that's something which is going to be relevant for every family. Like even if you don't see signs that that's perhaps what's causing harm. These homes that people live in now, especially, I have some clients who are looking to buy a new home and they're like trying to avoid buying a smart home. And you can't now because they're all, they all come that way. But, but it's, it's just really, I think just very telling that the environment that we live in now is so much more stressful from an EMF and even lighting perspective. And it just, I think we've normalized it so much that people aren't giving it the attention. Maybe that something like, like if you have a mold issue and you, okay, you know, you need to focus. But again, I think this area is one that's just easily discounted.

A (13:16)

Yeah, and it's because a lot of us are using devices every day. The people that are doing the work are doing the build for us. If you're building a home, they're wanting connectivity everywhere. And the tendency with technology is to advance more and more and more. But we've advanced technology a lot throughout our history. Where we forget, like where we came from as a species, as humanity living on this planet, growing on this planet, developing on this planet. And so what I realized through doing a lot of this work, we see like you know, 30 or 40 homes we test per month as a team with shielded healing. And so I think we're doing like over 40 states this year, all around the country. And what we see is that there's so many, you know, we have new smart technology coming out now. We can have an app for our toaster and, or for your baby's diaper, like it's, or the crib or whatever. It's like, like everything is getting more and more and more. But you know, it's kind of a snowball effect with technology where you just, oh, there's this new thing, let's connect this, let's get an app for this, let's do that. How can we improve our product? Let's go with the latest technology, the latest this and that. But it's new technology, it's cool, maybe it's convenient, but it's not technology that respects our biology. And so, you know, realizing all of this, going into multiple people's homes and doing this work, I realized there's gaps in understanding, okay, what is technology that respects our biology? And I decided, you know, a few years ago, I don't think I started the company before our last podcast, but since then I started a new company called the Shielding Shop and started designing products where I'm like, okay, people need this product, people need that product. Let's develop a healthy version of this so we can actually have some technology that respects biology and give people easy replacements for things. And so we developed like a few different products that people can easily put, you know, and just replace the unhealthy versions. And so the way that I talk about it with people is, look, you've already worked on food and cleaning out your pantry from all this junk food. Now you have to clean out your device cabinet and your electrical cabinet from all these junk electronics and replace them with healthy versions of these things. And that's a huge piece that you can do. That's a lot of low hanging fruit. Like, oh, I didn't know that My power strip could be affecting my child's health, but I've got one that's plugged in right under their crib or right under their bed. And it does. It brings in voltage measurably onto their body. You can check their body voltage. That's something we do in every home and every bedroom. And when you have things plugged in near the bed that are not proper, properly shielded or designed to be not emitting towards the person, then you've got all of this extra voltage coming onto the person's body while they're trying to repair and recover. But instead they've got all these muscle contractions. That's how electricity impacts the body. And that can deplete your magnesium and your calcium and other minerals while you're sleeping. Instead of replenishing them from the food that you ate during the day, you're continually being depleted from energy and minerals at night from these contractions and relaxations that are happening constantly, all night long while you're sleeping.

B (17:01)

Yeah, and I'm sure you'll echo this, but it's amazing how many parents that I've been coaching over the last number of years who their child, particularly the one with the challenges that that bed, that sleeping position is so often right next to an outlet, an electrical outlet or some, whether it's a power strip or something that's right nearby. And again, it doesn't take much for a parent to take some actions if they know it's a problem. But I think most people don't think it's a problem. And so that exact positioning of the bed. Right. And where it's located and what's going on behind that wall, that is so important to understand, which is why what you do, when you say that you're going to be in 40 states, talk a little bit about that type of service that you provide. Because I know one thing I want to just make clear is that what you do is really more about an assessment of what's going on as opposed to remediating, you know, specifically. You may do some of that, but it's really about getting a really good independent assessment of what's going on in your home, Correct?

A (18:07)

Yeah, exactly. There's different levels to our services now that we haven't quite rolled out, but we're gonna be rolling out some different levels of service where you can go and you can get a deep dive diagnostic of what all is going on in the house. That's like the first level, second level is going to be going into the house and diagnosing everything and then basically writing out all the solutions for the person. The third step would be, like, the max level would be, like, we figure all of that out with, like, a house manager or somebody who's. Who can like. Or a parent who can really, really knows the house and can, like, take photos of everything. And then we get all the products shipped ahead of time, and we actually help you replace everything. So there's different levels to that. But the main part of the service is just going into the home, testing for six different types of electromagnetic radiation. So we bring in a whole set of. A whole case of meters and equipment to measure. And we are measuring the lighting in the house, whether it flickers, what spectrum it is, and if it's causing any electromagnetic interference on the lines. Because a lot of lights can cause electromagnetic interference on the electrical system if they have poor wiring in them or cheap wiring in the lights, cheap circuitry. And then we're testing the bedroom, really focusing on that. Because if your child is spending eight hours there every night, and that's a third of your life, a third of your day, a third of your life. If you live until you're, you know, from 0 to 90 years old, that's 30 years that you're spending in the same location. And that location is supposed to be your body's number one healing time for that third of your day. That's the time when your body is supposed to be in a deep, parasympathetic, restful response, where your body is supposed to be healing and using all the nutrients and supplements that you have taken from the daytime and utilizing them to repair tissues at night. But your body's not doing that if you've got these external stressors. It's trying to deal with the stressors from the electromagnetic radiation, from the poor air that you might be breathing in, if there's mold or chemicals in the environment. And so you're getting all of this exposure and your body's dealing with that stress instead of healing and doing a deeper level of healing every single night, because it's supposed to be doing that. But that's cumulatively, that's 30 years of either healing or harm on your body. And so it's really, really important to dial in that bedroom. And we spend a lot of time on our testing, checking the body voltage in the bedroom, checking your body as an antenna for wireless radiation, because your body is conductive and it can get signals from wireless radiation. That's why when you touch a television antenna or a radio antenna, you can increase the reception, because your body's acting like an antenna for that type of radiation. And so we're testing all of these things, magnetic fields from power lines and what's affecting the bedroom. And we have certain levels that we want to see in the bedroom to optimize healing in that space. And so if we don't see that, then we have recommendations that we make and we'll work with a local contractor to fix that situation or remedy that. And the ultimate goal is to completely shield a bedroom so that your body can be free from wireless radiation, from electric fields, from magnetic fields, dirty electricity, artificial light, and geopathic energy coming up from the earth. So there's all kinds of things that we're testing for when we come in and test these things. And the goal is to really just rule out all of this stuff as a stressor for this person in this location so that they don't have to worry about this stuff anymore. Like, we've done this, we've fixed this issue, and now we're moving on to the next layer of healing for this person.

B (22:13)

Right? Yeah. No, and I think as you're talking, though, I'm also thinking, for a typical home, what's the likelihood that there's massive, massive problems? Well, you really don't know. But the thing is, unless you measure, unless you assess, your home might be fine. But it also might equally have one of those six stressors you mentioned, might be through the roof, something like dirty electricity, especially. And the only way is to measure reliably. There's some meters that maybe don't do much. Other ones that are super expensive, that are, that are maybe more accurate. But if you can go in with the right equipment to really get a sense of what's going on. Again, not, not about fear. It's about eyes wide open. Oh, I didn't realize. This is not a minor stressor, a huge stressor. And the great thing is, I don't think you've ever run into anything that you couldn't do something about. Right. There's always something you can do to improve a situation that might be, you know, well above the threshold for harm.

A (23:12)

There's other professionals that'll go in and scare people, and that's not what we do. We want to go in there and show you realistically what's going on, what practically can be done and, and, and fix the things that can be fixed. And then also so that you're basically lowering that, that symptom burden. So if you have a. EMF symptoms and they're like they're like over arbitrary number. Let's say say zero to a hundred. Say you're at 82. Okay, so you're at 82. And if we can get that down to 40 something, then that's a, that's a win. If we can get it down, you know, the lower we can get it, the better. But if you're just like, oh, I can't get it down to like below 10, so it's not worth it, I'll just stay at 82. That's not a really good perspective, you know, with, with recovering especially for, for kids, any, you know, percentages that you can get off of that stress is, is a huge win. And, and you know, cumulatively like you, you cut out an allergenic food, you cut out a toxic exposure, you add an air purifier to the bedroom. Like all of those things are gonna help cumulatively over time to, for that person's healing and accelerate the healing process and also just help them not to get worse. I mean, there's, you know, a lot of people have flare ups, especially when their immune system is overactive. And so they're gonna, you know, they can have a lot more problems if there's a continual stressor that's constantly beaming into the room or you know, emanating from the walls and that sort of thing. So, so it's best to like, you know, create this calm environment where their nervous system, their body can finally relax. And that's maximizing and accelerating healing when you do that.

B (25:04)

Yeah, no, and I think a really key point that you just talked about, I just want to underscore it is the key word is cumulative. Right. Because whatever the situation is, it's going to compound every day. So if you're taking measures or if you're not taking measures, then the problem's going to get worse cumulatively adding to that toxic load. But if you play better defense, you'll be getting benefits day after day after day. And you know, you talked about the sleeping environment, how important that is just because I think it's worth repeating. You know, the greatest thing that your, the body does that your child, especially your child, is that time while they're sleeping, where it is about restore, repair, rebuild, regenerate. And if the child's not able to do that, whatever they're challenged with, you know, that is the biggest lost opportunity. Which is why doing what you can to create a sleeping environment that is as healthful as possible, to remove these invisible stressors isn't optional. Right. You have to do Something to play better defense and something very innocent might be wreaking a lot of havoc and you're just not aware of it, you know, whether it's an alarm clock or a power strip or maybe Christmas lights in the room, you know, which I'm big on. So especially at this time of year, what would you say is like kind of a big thing for parents to watch out for during the holiday season especially? Does anything jump to mind as you think about this time of year and like, what's a big mistake parents might make that they can do something about it now?

A (26:43)

Yeah, well, a lot of times, like when we're decorating our kids room or decorating in general, like we'll have Christmas lights that are flickering like crazy. And I'm not talking about twinkle, twinkle, twinkling lights.

B (26:58)

It's a seti's dream. But it's still, there's still a flicker.

A (27:01)

Yeah, yeah. Like if you take a slow motion video on 240 frames per second on your, on your iPhone or your Android phone, you'll see this, some crazy flicker at the light from the lights. And I did this at Home Depot recently, I was just curious, okay, what's the update for the Christmas lights this year? And you could take just a slow motion video and you can see, ah, okay, now I know which lights to get, which ones not to get. But with Christmas lights you might decorate your kid's room and you've got the flicker issue, but also because it's plugged into the wall, you're bringing that electricity into the room. And this electricity has an electric field that can come onto the body. And so a lot of times you're electrifying an entire room just by having like string lights around the bedroom. And kids might like those string lights, they might think they're cool and everything, but they're also causing an electric field that can be persisting all night long and causing their body nervous system stress all, all night. So that's something to watch out for. And if you want a solution for that, we do have a few products that we can, you know, recommend to address that issue and some other issues with anything that is powered by USB in particular. So with USBs, you have your USB A and USB C. So this is how you charge your phone or laptop, MacBook, whatever, and you can also charge via USB A. But there's a lot of lights that you can get that actually have a USB cable on them and you can plug that into here and then basically, you know, use that in the bedroom. Now what's special and different about this particular charger. This is a charger that I designed that has a ground. It's called the safe charger, and we sell it at the shielding shop. But what's different about this, I've. I've purchased other, you know, many other chargers or USB devices that have a ground on them, but they don't connect this ground to the shell of the USB here. So what happens is this is the high voltage that comes in here, and it transforms the signal into dc, which charges your device. But what happens is the AC is not grounded. And so the ground that. That AC voltage leaks onto the cable and it comes like, via that conductive surface. Even though it's delivering DC energy to the device, it's. It, it jumps onto the cable and then can go right to your body. It's a pathway right to your body where that AC energy just goes to your body. And that AC is this pulsing energy that's detrimental to human health. If you, if it's too high, you can get electrocuted from it. You're not gonna get electrocuted from anything. Like, like, like that you plug into your wall like, like that. That's, that's wired properly, but on a low level, it is kind of electrocuting your. Your cells and causing them to pulse. And, and so that's what's using up your calcium and your magnesium. That's what's also causing an elevation in cortisol and all of these problems with the exposure to these pulsing fields. So when you plug into this, because this is grounded, that AC doesn't leak onto the cable anymore. And so we recommend these next to every single bed. If you have to charge your phone next to the bed, you can do it safely with one of these. As long as your phone is in airplane mode and Bluetooth is off and WI fi is off, that's how we recommend to charge it. And then. But also you can plug in Christmas lights into these. And I have, you know, this is one model. There's another model that has three of these kind of ports. And that's really nice for the Christmas lights. And then we've also got another one from Electra Health that's a more economical model, and it has two of those USBs in there, and you can. And then extra outlets as well. So that's something that's really simple. But other than that, like in the bedroom, just unplugging things that are close to the bed, moving the bed away from the wall is helpful, even a few feet, because there's electrical wires inside of the wall that are connecting the outlets together. And then making sure your wifi is off at night. That's a huge thing. You know, that's a wireless radiation. It's not electric fields like we've been talking about. But that's also a huge deal, is making sure that your wifi is off @.

B (31:52)

Night. Yeah. And I think that's where a lot of parents get tripped up, because so many devices now are running off WI fi, whether it's a home security system or something of that nature, you know, so it's getting harder and harder because so many things are connected to WI fi. But I found there's usually ways you can work around it. But again, this isn't about creating a bubble where there's no EMFs. I mean, there's always going to be some EMF exposure. The key is just reducing where you can. And again, I think you've thought this through in terms of pretty practical, elegant ways of just playing better defense. And if you're going to protect any environment and maybe go further, it's that sleep.

A (32:33)

Environment. Yeah, a hundred percent. Yeah. And you can't, you know, you're not going to ever get, like you said, down to an ancestral level of like, no emf. But we always try to make that the goal as low as reasonably achievable. That's something, you know, it's called the Alara principle. And we talk, they talk about that in any radiation, you know, environment is like, even at the nuclear power plants, they're like, well, what's. What amount of radiation is safe? We're like, well, we just need to get it as low as reasonably achievable because any amount is, is not good. But, but we have to deal with some amount in order to play around with this stuff at all. And so, like, as low as reasonably achievable. That's kind of our goal in every home that we go to. For people that are really sensitive, we'll upgrade our standards and we want to get it even lower if we can. We're not here to scare people. We're just here to provide solutions and help people and get those levels as low as reasonably achievable in your.

B (33:35)

Space. Fantastic. And so I guess that's a great segue into number one. First of all, I was very impressed with the breadth of solutions you do have at the shielding store. So I will definitely include a link in the show notes for parents to be able to see the different solutions you have there. But for parents who Want to maybe consider a consult and to work with your team? Can you talk a little bit about that process and what it looks.

A (34:01)

Like? We have a list of all the areas that we visit on a regular basis and then some that we go to, like, once every couple months. It's on the website, shieldedhealing.com and so you can get on that list. I have a team of four other people besides myself that I've trained, and they go. We do assessments all over the country. One of them's in Georgia, one of them's in Ohio. Actually, two of them are in Ohio, one in California, and then I'm up in Idaho. But we travel to Texas, Florida very regularly, The Southeast, the Northeast, and up and down the West Coast. And then we try to, you know, we try to hit as many places as we can. Anybody that needs us, we try to get there. If there's a certain number of people, if you can get a whole group of people and you're in the middle of New Mexico somewhere, we'll come out for, like, three or four homes and do it. Make a trip out of that. But, yeah, just go on the website, check our list. If you don't see us on there, we can put you on a waiting list and let you know when we can be in your area. And then meanwhile, if you're wanting to get something right away, I'd Recommend going to theshieldingshop.com checking out that. Because we have all kinds of things on there, from shielded, electrically. Shielded lamps with proper lighting that doesn't float, liquor, to, you know, the chargers that you need, and there's filters for dirty electricity. All kinds of things that you can kind of start to dip your toe into to this area and see. And seeing if it makes a percentage difference for your child or for you with. With your. With your sleep and your health and. And we're all about filling in these gaps of things. And so I've got like 20 other products that are in development right now, and. And we're just trying to fill in the gaps to. To get those percentage increases in your health, like, down to where it's maximum optimal and everything like.

B (35:52)

That. Fantastic. Yeah. No, I have some clients in Florida and Kentucky who've used you, who sing your praises. So again, I appreciate that you take your show on the road to be able to make this available to more families. So I'll include everything in the show notes. But, Brian, is there any other final message you'd like to leave with Brian, with parents who are hearing this and Maybe feeling a little bit stressed that there's another thing or a series of things that maybe they need to focus on. But you've been doing this for so long. What words of wisdom would you pass.

A (36:23)

On? I would say don't stress out too much about it. We exist in this space for a reason and we are here to help you along on this journey. And you don't have to take the whole burden on yourself. Whether it's EMF or mold or whatever, there's people out there that have, you know, companies that, that, that actually care. It's not just about making money. I love that I can make a living doing this and helping people, but really with, with me and my team, we care so much about our customers and the people that are, that we're helping. And it's way more about providing solutions than just making a buck off of people. And so a lot of times when you're in that space where you've done a lot of things, you've spent so much money and everything, it gets exhausting and you feel like, gosh, how am I gonna sustain this? Well, it's not like that with us. I really want people to see improvements and to get well. And so I feel you, I feel how hard it can be. I have a nephew that has autism. I understand this whole, you know, like, all the dynamics of it and how hard it can be as a parent to be quarterbacking all of this. And my team understands it too. And we're all a team of health practitioners and we have compassion for people. So keep it up. Don't feel like you're alone. You have people like Len and, and me, even though you might not know me, but like, like, we're rooting for you and we want to see you guys have better.

B (38:02)

Outcomes. All right, fantastic. Really well said, Brian. And again, I can't tell you how much I appreciate what you're doing, the solutions you're offering, and it won't be so long next time. I'll love to have you back on the dive deeper because whether it's lighting or dirty, electricity or electric fields, each one kind of merits its own detailed discussion. So look forward to having you on down the road. Your child needs you running on all cylinders now. And the fastest way to rise is with personalized one on one support. Get started today. Go to.
