In Episode 9 of the Outwork'em Podcast, guest host Jana Kearney interviews EMF expert Liz Menkes, owner of EMF Healthy. Liz shares her journey into EMF remediation that began when a cell tower was proposed near her home, leading to her certification through the Building Biology Institute. She breaks down the four types of EMFs found in homes: radio frequency (wireless signals), magnetic fields, electric fields, and dirty electricity.

Liz provides eye-opening insights on just how much EMF exposure we face daily:

• A laptop with WiFi enabled emits about 70,000 microwatts/m² (1,000 is considered extreme concern)
• Cell phones held a foot away emit about 20,000 microwatts/m²
• Most homes have extreme EMF levels in at least some areas

Learn practical solutions to reduce your exposure, including:

• Hardwiring devices instead of using wireless connections
• Keeping cell phones away from your bed and using airplane mode
• Creating "sleep sanctuaries" with proper shielding
• Working with electricians on wiring solutions

Whether you're experiencing symptoms like headaches, fatigue, and brain fog, or simply want to create a healthier home environment, this episode is packed with actionable advice from a true expert in the field.
