Today, we're joined by Jan-Rutger Schrader, the visionary innovator behind JRS Eco Wireless, to pull back the curtain on a hidden danger lurking in your home—EMF radiation.
Most people have no idea that everyday devices like Wi-Fi routers are flooding their homes with EMF radiation, slowly but surely taking a toll on their well-being.
But that stops here.
In this episode, Jan-Rutger is here to flip the script and empower you with the knowledge to fight back.
We’ll dive into the truth about EMF emissions from your devices, expose the industries that put profits over your safety, and arm you with practical steps to reduce your exposure and protect your health.
In this episode, you will hear:
Cell phone EMF emissions differences between Wi-Fi and 4G connection.
The industrial interests that overtake our health.
What buyers should consider when purchasing a router.
Different parts of the Wi-Fi router emit radiation and how adjusting the levels can affect your Wi-Fi signal.
Using an attenuator to limit your Wi-Fi to just one room.
How the JRS Eco Router or JRS Eco 100 can help you reduce your EMF exposure in your home.
And so much more…
Jan-Rutger, or JR for short, has a PhD in microelectronics and communications technology.
Back in 2007, JR was working in the research lab of a large multinational company in the Netherlands, designing microelectronic circuits for the latest generation of mobile phones.
It was his dream job at the time, or so he thought. Then he noticed that the electromagnetic radiation from mobile phones, towers, and electronic devices was affecting his health and he had to quit his job.
A few years later, he founded his company, JRS Eco Wireless, with a mission to develop electronics that emit measurably less radiation.
By 2011, he had managed to develop the Eco Wi-Fi router that emitted significantly less EMF than normal WiFi routers.
He later went on to create the Eco 100 router, which is the world's first Wi-Fi router with a full Eco mode.
This router switches to a completely radiation-free mode when no wireless devices are connected.

Today, we're honored to have a true trailblazer in the realm of electromagnetic field (EMF) protection and home wellness – Andrew McAfee. Based in Raleigh, North Carolina, Andrew's journey is a testament to turning personal challenges into a quest for solutions.
He is also the inventor of the ground-breaking NCB, which is available at Shield Your Body. This is the world’s first product to safely strip dirty electricity and contact current from the grounding conductor. Andrew explains today how the NCB is different from other dirty electricity filters, what dirty electricity is, and how it can often manifest in electro-sensitivity.
In this episode, you will hear:
What electro-sensitivity is, how it manifested for Andrew and his wife, and the levels of perception.
Defining dirty electricity (DE).
How electricity affects the infections in our bodies.
Things power companies, homeowners, and corporations can do to help clean up dirty electricity.
The necessity for health standards, not just fire safety standards in building codes.
The NCB Pro and why it addresses the grounding conductor, unlike other dirty electricity filters.
The key difference between the NCB and the NCB Pro.
Handling dirty energy in your apartment.
Diseases and other conditions caused by electrical sensitivity.
Your grounding is dirty and dangerous until proven otherwise.
A seasoned EMF consultant, Andrew's story began with a realization—health issues tied to wiring problems in his own home.
After moving into a brand new home Andrew and his wife became electrically sensitive in 2001. He was fortunate to have Charles Keen and Karl Riley as early mentors. Beginning in 2010 Andrew successfully petitioned the NC Utility Commission to order Duke Energy to provide a no-cost, non-emitting meter for its customers.
After 15 years as Principal Horn of the NC Symphony, earning a master's degree in conducting and 10 years as a professor of music at UNC Chapel Hill, he left music to help others with ES. Andrew was featured in a 2014 TIME docu-film “Searching for a Golden Cage” about electro-sensitivity.
In 2017, he made the leap to become a full-time EMF consultant, channeling his knowledge into creating safer living spaces for all.
Utilizing electrical training materials from Mike Holt, Andrew earned a Residential Electrician's Career Diploma in Penn Foster’s year-long program in 2019. In 2020, he wrote 6 short books as a part of his Killing Current series to raise awareness about the dangers of contact current and in 2021 co-created a web course “Staying Healthy in a 5G World.”
Fast forward to today, and Andrew stands as the innovative mind behind the NCB Pro, a groundbreaking solution reshaping the landscape of home grounding safety. As a career diplomat in residential electricity, he brings a unique blend of expertise and passion to the world of EMF protection.
He currently works full-time for Bonneville Electric as a project manager and service technician and has earned an OSHA 10 safety certification.
He is also the inventor of the ground-breaking NCB, which is available at Shield Your Body.
