You, But Optimized: The Wild Rise of DNA Diets and AI Meal Plans 07/10/2025

You, But Optimized: The Wild Rise of DNA Diets and AI Meal Plans What if that “healthy” salad is actually wrecking your system—while supercharging someone else? In this episode of The Healthier Tech Podcast, we explore the wild, wonderful, and slightly weird world of personalized nutrition—where AI meets DNA, and your meals are no longer based on food pyramids and health trends, but on your biology. We break down the science and philosophy of this fast-growing field, including: Why two people eating the same food can have completely different outcomes How AI-powered apps can now recommend meals based on your sleep, stress, and blood sugar What your genes are secretly telling you about your metabolism, cravings, and vitamin needs The powerful promise of tech-driven food freedom—and where it all starts to get a little creepy But this episode doesn’t stop at the shiny stuff. We take a deep look at the ethical minefield underneath the surface: Who really owns your genetic and biometric data? Can you really trust the algorithms telling you what to eat? Are we trading self-awareness for convenience—and calling it health? Because while AI and genetic insights can help us personalize our wellness, there's a fine line between empowerment and dependence. Between data-driven clarity—and losing your gut instinct. This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating the future of tech-life balance, digital wellness, or just trying to figure out why that green smoothie feels like sabotage some days. Tune in now to rethink everything you thought you knew about healthy eating—and how your tech might be making the decisions for you.

AI and Health Gone Wild: Is Your Digital Wellness Coach Helping or Hacking You? 06/19/2025

AI and Health Gone Wild: Is Your Digital Wellness Coach Helping or Hacking You? Ready for a reality check on your wellness gadgets? In this episode of The Healthier Tech Podcast, we yank back the curtain on the brave new world of AI-powered self-care—and ask whether your “smart” coach is a lifesaver or a data-hungry overlord. What you’ll hear in five fast-paced minutes: From step counters to mind readers Discover how today’s AI tools detect stress in your voice, predict burnout from heart-rate variability, and tailor workouts on the fly—no human trainer required. Chatbots with couch credentials Meet Woebot and Wysa, therapy bots using evidence-based techniques. One has already logged over five million private conversations—yours could be next. Your breath, decoded Lumen’s handheld sensor analyzes a single exhale to reveal whether you’re torching carbs or fat, then spits out meal plans driven by machine-learning models of real-world metabolisms. Wearables that learn you Whoop bands and Oura Rings don’t just track sleep; they study it, adjust recovery advice in real time, and promise a fitter, sharper you—if you dare share the data. Selfies for science L’Oréal’s Skin Genius AI turns your phone camera into a pocket dermatologist, flagging pores and pigmentation before you spot them in the mirror. The privacy trade-off We break down the fine print no one reads: when mood logs, late-night journals, and breathing patterns become gold mines for advertisers—and how to protect yourself. Key takeaways: AI can supercharge digital wellness, personalizing everything from mental-health check-ins to nutrition plans. But unchecked, it can blur the line between self-care and surveillance. Use the tech—just don’t let it use you. This episode is brought to you by Shield Your Body—a global leader in EMF protection and digital wellness.

ENCORE: Andrew McAfee Answers Your Questions about Grounding Safety 10/29/2024

ENCORE: Andrew McAfee Answers Your Questions about Grounding Safety 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.

Reduce Your EMF Radiation Exposure with Jan-Rutger Schrader 09/10/2024

Reduce Your EMF Radiation Exposure with Jan-Rutger Schrader 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.

Andrew McAfee Answers Your Questions about Grounding Safety 01/16/2024

Andrew McAfee Answers Your Questions about Grounding Safety 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.
