Author: Shield Your Body® August 18, 2026 Duration: 5:00
A new study tracked over sixteen hundred pregnant women and found a direct link between cell phone use and pregnancy outcomes that every expecting parent needs to know about. Researchers in Iran followed pregnant women from twenty fifteen to twenty nineteen, measuring their daily exposure to cell phones, cordless phones, and Wi-Fi. The results showed that women with longer cell phone call durations had significantly higher rates of miscarriage, abnormal birth weight, and abnormal infant height. Most concerning: every additional minute of daily cell phone use increased miscarriage risk by point six percent. In This Episode How researchers tracked real-world EMF exposure in over sixteen hundred pregnancies The specific dose-response relationship between cell phone minutes and miscarriage risk Why cordless phones also showed effects on newborn birth weight One simple change expecting mothers can make starting today Featured Study Read the full study: The association of widely used electromagnetic waves exposure and pregnancy and birth outcomes in Yazd women: a cohort study See all studies at shieldyourbody.com/research

We often hear about the latest gadgets and apps, but rarely about their subtle, cumulative effects on our well-being. The Healthier Tech Podcast, from Shield Your Body®, digs into that exact space. This isn't about rejecting technology, but about understanding the intersection where our devices meet our biology. Conversations explore the tangible influences-like how EMF exposure might affect stress levels, how blue light disrupts circadian rhythms, or how algorithmic design can hijack our dopamine pathways. We bring in researchers, physicians, and engineers to translate complex science into actionable insights. You'll hear specific discussions on protecting sleep from screen interference, maintaining focus in a world of notifications, and balancing connectivity with mental energy. The goal is to provide a clearer picture of our daily interactions with phones, laptops, and smart home devices, offering practical strategies for a more intentional and healthier relationship with the tools we use. Whether you're deeply concerned about electromagnetic fields or simply feel drained by constant digital engagement, this podcast serves as a grounded resource. It’s for anyone who senses their tech is taking more than it gives and wants to reclaim a sense of physical and mental equilibrium without disconnecting entirely. Tune in for a nuanced take on navigating a wired world.
