Is Your Phone Making Your Brain More Toxic? How to Reduce Radiation, Microplastics & Toxins
Mar 06, 2025Hey Detox Warriors!
In the last Practical Nontoxic Living podcast episode 79, 50% More Microplastics in Human Brains—Protect Your Brain Health Now, I talked about the top four ways microplastics are getting into our brains and how to protect yourself. The first major route identified by scientists is ingestion—what you eat and drink. Two other major routes acknowledged by scientists are inhalation and absorption. A fourth exposure that was not mentioned in any research I reviewed, but was at the top of my mind is wireless radiation. In this podcast, I'll refer more specifically to cell phone radiation.
From my research on how electromagnetic fields (aka as EMFs, radiation, or energy) influence human health and development, I know that cell phone radiation can weaken your blood brain barrier, making your brain more vulnerable to toxic compounds, including microplastics, that are in your body.
3 Habits To Protect Your Brain From Cell Phone Radiation
The intention of this podcast is to use my recent episode 79 on the fact that human brains have accumulated 50% more microplastics over 8 years as an opportunity to get you to focus on three healthy habits to protect your brain from toxic compounds.
Before I dive into the three tips, here's an excerpt from my July 2019 interview of Devra Davis, who is a ROCKSTAR scientist and public health HERO. She's an American epidemiologist, toxicologist, author, and founder of the Environmental Health Trust. Her books are titled When Smoke Ran Like Water, The Secret History of the War on Cancer, and Disconnect: A scientist's solutions for safer technology (Amazon affiliate link), which I actually wrote a testimonial for.
If you or your loved ones have wireless devices, then you should read Disconnect. With her background as a uniquely accomplished scientist and public health advocate who has worked both inside and outside of government, Devra Davis offers invaluable insights on how we are now surrounded by levels of electromagnetic exposures that a strong body of science demonstrates are highly risky to public health, especially to the youngest of us. Davis explains strategies that have allowed telecom and tech industries to enjoy extraordinary growth at great risks to humanity. While the narrative described in Disconnect might seem unbelievable to some, it is recognizable to those familiar with strategies that the tobacco industry used to effectively grow or protect profits as evidence strengthened that smoking cigarettes poses serious health risks. To help our children and grandchildren inherit the best society possible, please read Disconnect and talk about it with others. Disconnect shows us the path forward.
