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.

He has published 76 scientific peer-reviewed articles and 9 textbook chapters in the medical literature; written many consumer articles; and given over 200 lectures at international medical meetings. Five years ago he was diagnosed with a blood cancer called “multiple myeloma”. Like all cancer patients, after the shock he started to get his life and spiritual priorities in order. “We all know we are going to die, but when it’s right there in front of your face, it’s a lot different.” Dr. Brandy had one advantage over the rest of us. Medical school and a lifelong history of reading and studying about diet, exercise, and supplements and their relationship to good health. “Natural Insights into Cancer” is Dr. Brandy’s ongoing project to share with you what he has learned through scouring the medical literature about what can be done naturally to fight this dreaded disease. Because Dr. Brandy had directed The Skin Center’s anti-aging division for the past 25 years, he already had a solid foundation of knowledge about health and nutrition before his diagnosis. Moreover, health and nutrition have been a passion of Dr. Brandy since the age of 10. So you will be getting information from a medical professional who has an intense passion for learning as much as possible about health, nutrition, and ways to fight cancer naturally.

Cheryl Meyer Wants You to Own Your Health and Return to Wellness 09/26/2023

Cheryl Meyer Wants You to Own Your Health and Return to Wellness Today, Cheryl Meyer joins us to share her inspiring journey of overcoming chronic autoimmune disease. Cheryl was a successful solopreneur – and like many of us, neglected her health due to her busy lifestyle, which eventually took a toll on her body. After extensive research and significant lifestyle changes, she was able to ditch the pain and return to a balanced and healthy life. And today, she is here to help you start to find your missing puzzle pieces and begin to adopt a healthier lifestyle. In this episode, you will hear: ● Why you should also stop eating CRAP (carbonated, refined, artificial, and processed) food. ● How dieting and changing your diet are two different things. ● Eating from the rainbow from the Farm-acy. ● Your pets are also affected by the toxins in your house, not just you. ● What functional medicine is and what you should look for in a functional medicine practitioner. ● Why the SAD (Standard American Diet) is sad for your body. ● Changing the social mindsets around land use and growing food. Ten years ago, I was a solopreneur when I woke up one morning and couldn’t get out of bed because of pain in my joints and my muscles. My conventional doctor ran many tests but had no clue what was wrong with me. She believed that there was NOTHING wrong with me and that I should seek mental therapy. I was working 24/7, not practicing any kind of self-care. I was eating on the fly and eating as fast as I was working. My diet was processed food of all kinds and it was making me sick. I had an autoimmune disease. My stress was so out of control that my cortisol was almost to Addison’s disease. Something had to change, I couldn’t function. I researched, changed my lifestyle and eating habits, and ditched my pain of autoimmune disease. I lost 65 pounds without dieting, but by allowing my body to return to balance by eating the rainbow of organic whole foods. I work with clients with chronic illnesses to help them return to balance and wellness. My superpower is helping others find the puzzle pieces for wellness that they can control for themselves. Eating the rainbow, and adopting my 22 pillars of health, I no longer have pain from my autoimmune disease, and I feel great. I want others to enjoy feeling great as well. I have books, classes, podcasts, cookbooks, and coaching available to support this process. My magazine on health is due out at the end of May. It Feels Good to Feel Good Magazine, Inspiration for a Healthier Life My superpower is finding holistic solutions for missing puzzle pieces to wellness. The magazine will be a roadmap for the many different avenues to health. Nothing is Impossible. Embrace the possible. Health is a journey, it is not a destination.

Pete Bombaci Wants You to Talk to Strangers 04/25/2023

Pete Bombaci Wants You to Talk to Strangers Today, our conversation with Pete Bombaci is all about human connection and we explore the vital role of human connection in today’s increasingly digital world. The huge number of the global population is getting lonelier each passing year, which is extremely concerning, especially when you look at how loneliness affects people's physical and mental health. Yes, says Pete, but it is a pandemic that we can directly impact and change. He shares with us many ways we can increase our connections every day, including easy ways to speak to strangers and how we can all have a better, healthier relationship with the digital sphere. In this episode you will hear: Why human connection is more important than exercise and eating well. The importance of turning off distractions and connecting with others. Making social connection part of your day-to-day life. How we can consciously build connections one person at a time. Reasons you should go to the office if you have the choice. The long-term physical and mental effects of chronic loneliness. How you can change the world just by reaching out to one person and actively listening. Closing the gap of human connection and learning to talk to strangers. Ideas for growing the number of connections in your life. Pete is a human connection expert and the Founder and Executive Director of The GenWell Project, a Human Connection Movement that has been working since 2016 to educate, empower and catalyze people around the importance of human connection for their health, happiness, longevity, and the benefit of society as a whole. We have all been educated on eating well, exercise, not smoking, and more, but we have never taken the time to educate the broader population about the importance of human connection for our own well-being and for the benefit of those we connect with. The solution to the disconnected world that we live in today should not be a medical one, but one where each of us recognizes that we are all part of the solution and that we need each other, maybe more than ever.
