# 97 - Are Electronic Devices Secretly Ruining Your Health? Nature's Brilliant Solution with Justin Frandson
Ever feel that something is “off” no matter what you do? Your energy never seems to rally and you can’t drop stubborn weight even though you’re doing “all the things”?
Today, I’m joined by an incredible guest, Justin Frandson, Athleticism Performance Coach, founder of EMF Rocks, and author, who's here to shed light on the fascinating link between your environment and your ability to feel and perform your best.
In working with his athletes, Justin noticed that many were experiencing problems with performance, and he began to connect the dots to the effects of technology.
For example, he noticed that when one of his athletes stopped wearing his smartwatch, his performance dramatically improved.
In his research, Justin found that the EMFs we’re exposed to from 5G, technology wearables, Wifi, and other various forms of electricity, are harming the human body in many ways.
In this episode we dive into EMFs and their effects on our natural sleep patterns, hormones, energy, and performance, along with lifestyle tips to reduce EMF exposure.
We also dive deep into EMF rocks and how they can reduce EMF toxicity that significantly affects your health.
Justin shares easy changes we can make that reduce our EMF exposure. He also shows us how his innovative solution – EMF Rocks – can reduce EMF toxicity that you’re exposed to.

#94 - Food-Addicted? Unraveling the Food Industry's Grip: A Journey to Health with Eric Edmeades
Have you ever wondered how much power the food you eat holds over your health and well-being? Join us on today's episode as we sit down with serial entrepreneur turned behavioral change expert, Eric Edmeades. It was his own health struggles as a teen that led him on a path to revolutionize the way we approach nutrition and wellness.

Shedding 35 pounds and bidding farewell to acne and infections without the need for surgery, Eric's remarkable recovery sparked a lifelong mission to empower others to reclaim their health. But what struck him the most was the lack of curiosity from medical professionals about his unconventional healing journey.
In our conversation, Eric delves into the intricate psychology behind our food choices and how the food industry has manipulated our relationship with what we eat.
Eric Edmeades is on a mission to rewrite the narrative of health and vitality for people around the globe. Tune in to hear about dismantling the grip of the food and pharmaceutical industries and uplifting individuals from the depths of despair.

#92 - Hormones or Horrible-mones? Wondering if Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy is Right for You? Interview with Dr Daved Rosensweet
HORMONES - Ugh! If they are out of balance, everything in your body is unhappy.
Hormones are complex, intricate, and unique to you. Low or high estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone can cause miserable symptoms and make you feel crazy.
Thankfully, there are things you can do.
My amazing guest on today’s episode, Dr. Daved Rosensweet, is an expert in women’s hormones, particularly bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) - a powerful and natural treatment for hormonal imbalances. Hormone replacement therapy has gotten a bad rap over the years - primarily due to faulty research.
Dr. Rosensweet sets the record straight.
He is also a master of perimenopause and menopause, authoring the books Menopause and Natural Hormones and Happy Healthy Hormones: How to Thrive in Menopause.
Dr. Rosensweet shares what led him to become so passionate about helping women to heal their hormones naturally and feel like themselves again. He also dives into why women are being UNDER-prescribed bioidentical hormone therapy and feeling overwhelmed. He gives excellent insight into whether or not you may benefit from BHRT. AND he’s giving away his free book, if you would like to learn more!
Check out this episode to get your hormone questions answered!
