Are EMFs Impacting Your Health? Practical Tips from “The EMF Guy” Nick Pineault

February 3, 2025 Blog, Podcast

In today’s digital world, we are constantly surrounded by technology—from smartphones and Wi-Fi routers to Bluetooth devices and even electric vehicles. But have you ever stopped to think about how these everyday conveniences might be affecting your health?

In a recent episode of the Believe Big Podcast, Ivelisse Page sat down with Nick Pineault, “The EMF Guy,” to discuss the impact of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) on our well-being. As a best-selling author and advocate for safe technology, Nick shares eye-opening insights about EMF exposure, its potential risks, and easy steps to protect yourself.

Here’s what we learned.

 

What Are EMFs and Why Should We Care?

EMFs, or electromagnetic fields, are invisible energy waves produced by electronic devices, power lines, and wireless technology. While some forms of EMFs are naturally occurring, such as sunlight, others—like radiofrequency radiation from Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cell phones—are entirely man-made.

Although EMFs have been around for decades, recent studies have raised concerns about their long-term effects on health. Scientists debate the risks, but many independent researchers warn that chronic exposure to EMFs may contribute to oxidative stress, cellular damage, and even increased cancer risk.

“If there’s even a small chance EMFs could impact our health, shouldn’t we take preventative steps?” – Nick Pineault

 

How EMFs Could Affect Your Health

Some people experience immediate symptoms when exposed to EMFs, including:
✅ Headaches
✅ Brain fog
✅ Fatigue
✅ Sleep disturbances
✅ Heart palpitations
✅ Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)

For others, the effects may be more subtle and long-term, contributing to disrupted sleep, hormonal imbalances, and even fertility issues.

One of the biggest concerns? Cancer risk.

Nick shares that while the World Health Organization (WHO) has downplayed EMF dangers, many independent researchers argue that radiofrequency radiation should be classified as a Group 1 carcinogen—the same category as asbestos and tobacco.

In fact, studies have linked prolonged cell phone use to an increased risk of brain tumors, thyroid cancer, and salivary gland tumors.

“Some scientists say it’s safe. Others say it should be classified as a carcinogen. Why not take precautionary steps now?” – Nick Pineault

 

How to Reduce EMF Exposure in Your Home & Office

The good news? You don’t have to live off the grid to minimize EMF exposure! Small, practical changes can make a big difference in protecting your health.

📍 In Your Bedroom: Optimize Sleep & Recovery

🔹 Keep your phone on airplane mode or charge it in another room.
🔹 Turn off Wi-Fi routers at night (use an outlet timer for convenience).
🔹 Use wired internet (Ethernet cable) instead of Wi-Fi when possible.
🔹 Avoid charging your phone near your pillow or bed.
🔹 Minimize LED and blue light exposure before bed.

“Distance is your friend. The farther away your phone is, the less radiation you’re exposed to.” – Dr. Devra Davis

 

📍 In Your Office: Create a Low-EMF Workspace

🔹 Use wired internet (Ethernet) instead of Wi-Fi for a faster and safer connection.
🔹 Keep your phone out of your pocket (especially for men—EMFs can lower testosterone levels!).
🔹 Use a speakerphone or wired headset instead of holding the phone to your ear.
🔹 Consider an anti-radiation phone case like SafeSleeve.
🔹 Reduce Bluetooth exposure by using wired keyboards and mice.

“A wired connection is not only safer but more stable and faster than Wi-Fi.” – Nick Pineault

 

EMFs in Everyday Life: What About Electric Vehicles? 🚗

Did you know that some electric vehicles (EVs) emit high levels of EMFs?

Ivelisse shares that she experiences migraines, nausea, and dizziness within minutes of riding in an EV. Even her husband, who isn’t EMF-sensitive, notices a spike in his blood pressure.

Nick’s advice for EV owners:
✅ Choose a car where batteries are located at the front or back—not under the driver’s seat.
✅ Turn off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi hotspots inside the car.
✅ Reduce EMF exposure by keeping your phone on airplane mode during drives.
✅ Consider an EMF-shielding seat cover for added protection.

“Some gas-powered vehicles are just as bad as electric ones when it comes to EMF exposure. The key is to research before you buy!” – Nick Pineault

 

Small Changes, Big Impact

Technology isn’t going anywhere—but that doesn’t mean we have to accept unlimited exposure to EMFs. By taking simple steps to reduce radiation in our homes, offices, and vehicles, we can protect ourselves and our families.

Remember: you don’t have to eliminate technology—you just need to use it wisely.
