In this episode, Katie and Chrissy reunite to tackle a topic that is invisible but everywhere: Electromagnetic Frequencies (EMFs). From cell towers to the phone in your pocket, we are constantly exposed to radiation. But instead of living in fear, the ladies break down exactly what EMFs are and share simple, budget-friendly strategies to mitigate them in your home. Plus, they kick things off with a Random Revelation about the brand new "Food Pyramid" that is flipping the script on nutrition!

In this episode, you'll learn:

• The New Food Pyramid: Why the government's new "Real Food" guidelines are a huge win for holistic health (and how they differ from the carb-heavy 90s pyramid).
• EMF Basics: Understanding the difference between ionizing radiation (X-rays) and non-ionizing radiation (Wifi/Bluetooth) and why both matter.
• The "Distance" Factor: Why keeping your phone just a few inches away from your body can drastically reduce exposure.
• Medical Scans: When to ask for an MRI instead of a CT scan, and why you should still ask for the lead apron at the dentist.
• Sleep Sanctuary: How to turn your bedroom into a low-EMF recovery zone without spending a dime.
• The Bluetooth Debate: The risks of wireless earbuds and smarter alternatives.
