Author: Shield Your Body® September 7, 2026 Duration: 5:40
A large-scale study from Iran tracked over sixteen hundred pregnant women and found a direct relationship between cell phone use and pregnancy outcomes -- including miscarriage, abnormal birth weight, and infant height. In this episode, I break down the findings from this four-year cohort study and explain why the dose-response relationship matters. I also share one practical step you can take if you're pregnant or planning to become pregnant. In This Episode How researchers measured real-world EMF exposure in pregnant women The specific risks associated with longer cell phone call durations Why cordless phones showed similar effects on birth outcomes One simple change that could make a meaningful difference 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.
