You don’t need to fear your phone, but you do get to choose how close it is to your body, your womb, and your child’s brain.
In this 12 Holiday Rituals episode, Daniel DeBaun, telecom engineer turned EMF-protection expert and founder of DefenderShield (code: BIOHACKINGBRITTANY) joins me to unpack what our devices are really doing to our cells, hormones, and kids’ brains—and what we can actually do about it without moving off-grid.
Listen if you want a calm, science-backed roadmap to lowering EMF exposure for yourself, your future fertility, and your family, without throwing your phone in the ocean.
