Are you a newb at EMF?! I am too! I’m so excited to sit down with Dr. Kristin Moore to go into a deep dive to learn allll about EMF.

  • What is EMF? Kinds of EMF?
  • How EMF affects our health
  • Her thoughts on wearables (like Fitbits and Apple Watches)
  • What is going on with this new 5G coming?
  • How we can reduce EMFs with our phones and home
  • Where are some places that we aren’t even thinking that emits EMFs?
  • How we test for EMFs

About Dr. Kristin Moore

As a chiropractor and natural minded health practitioner, I have always been interested in the chemicals and toxins that we are exposed to regularly that could be depleting our health. However, it wasn’t until a family member grew ill from a potentially EMF related issue that I became fully aware of the negative health impacts that EMFs can have. When I started diving into the research, I learned about how wide-spread the effects truly are and that hardly any of us have even been asking the question, “could my electronics be impacting my health?” I have made it my mission to educate others on the harmful effects of EMFs and to empower people to make simple and easy changes that can make a huge difference in their exposure and potentially make a difference in their overall health as well.
