ENCORE: How Technology Is(n’t) Regulated with Dr. Devra Davis

Author: Shield Your Body® December 3, 2024 Duration: 1:05:50

The Healthier Tech Podcast is the show bringing you a practical solutions-based approach to understanding how best to live in balance with our increasing reliance on tech.

The show from Shield Your Body brings you expert voices that clearly explain the science that matters to you, and the usable tips that you can use to live healthier, while defending against the health risks of modern day technologies. 

In this episode, we welcome Dr. Devra Davis, Epidemiologist and electromagnetic radiation expert. Dr. Davis is one of the most respected experts in the field of EMF, devoted to studying links between the environment and health, and developing public policy to prevent diseases locally, nationally and internationally. Through her work and research for leading institutions such as the U.S. National Research Council, World Health Organization, Harvard University, Georgetown University, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Dr Davis has been able to carry out major studies on avoidable environmental and workplace health hazards from air pollution, cell phones and other exposures. As you will hear in this episode, stunningly, the most popular gadget of our age has now been shown to damage DNA, break down the brain's defenses and reduce sperm count while increasing memory loss, the risk of Alzheimer's disease and even cancer, yet the majority of us still happily walk around with these devices in our pocket!

In this episode, you will hear: 

  • Why children should not be using phones before the age of 16 
  • The most worrisome health issues we're seeing emerge from EMF science 
  • The role of parents and teachers in protecting children from EMF
  • Regulations that would make this EMF radiation safer 
  • How to reduce exposure to EMF
  • Why Dr. Davis is in a legal battle to sue the FCC for ignoring cell phone radiation risks

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.
