EMFs & How to Mitigate Damage to Your Health from WiFi, Bluetooth, 5G You are Exposed to Daily

Hello, health optimization friends. I'm your host, Claudia von Boeselager, and welcome to the Longevity and Lifestyle Podcast for another longevity and biohacking product series where I invite leading longevity and biohacking entrepreneurs to share their pioneering products developed to help you optimize your health and your life for longer. With all the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other radiation exposure we have on a daily basis, this episode will give you the key insights into what exactly are EMFs and what they are doing to your health, the science behind how Somavedic's devices not only mitigate this harmful EMF exposure but actually also improve cellular regeneration, increase energy and positivity. I'm joined today by Juraj Kokar, founder and CEO of Somavedic, an endless optimist with a passion to build and grow products with meaning. Please enjoy.

Welcome to the Longevity and Lifestyle Podcast, Juraj. It's such a pleasure to have you on today.

Thank you, Claudia von Boeselager, for having me.

So today's topic is super interesting, especially as the world is developing and getting more Wi-Fi and Bluetooth friendly. Can you explain for my audience, Jure, what exactly EMFs are and if they're all harmful to humans?

EMF stands for electromagnetic frequencies or electromagnetic radiation. And in a nutshell, it's basically those invisible waves, invisible like frequencies that devices communicate with each other, you know, like cell phones, Wi-Fi, you know, your remote control. So it's zeros and ones on different frequencies that are allowing, you know, for the communication.

And are they all harmful to humans? And what is exactly happening with all this EMF radiation?

Yes. So the higher the frequency from the data that's been published, the higher the frequency, the more harmful for our bodies it is. Back in the day, the cell phones were on a 800 MHz or 900. Now, you know, it's 2.4 GHz, and with the 5G, it's increasing exponentially. So those low-frequency EMFs are not that harmful. It is very hard to draw a line which are harmful and which not, because the studies that were done were done with the current technologies, you know, current Wi-Fi, current cell phones, and 5G. So Yeah, the higher the frequency, the bigger impact on our bodies.

And can you talk a little bit about the impact and what the studies have shown? Like, what is the science? And I realize this is relatively new from the last years, right? But the studies that are being shown, like, what are some of the impacts and why is it so important for people to be paying attention to this?

There are currently more than 25,000 peer-reviewed studies that are showing the negative effects of EMFs on our bodies. And there's a very wide spectrum of what the EMF is causing, you know, from interfering with our brainwaves, then that has influence on our sleep, on our brain fog, on our headaches, up to cardiovascular stress, even up to things like cancer. Because for example, in Italy, there are 6 cases that were confirmed with the highest court in Italy, that basically the people won against the companies, that the Wi-Fi caused tumors. So the spectrum is very wide, and what's going on on a biological level is that the EMFs are causing the influx of calcium into our cells. The VGCCs, voltage-gated calcium channels, open when they are in EMF field and let calcium in into our cells. And this is causing the increasing levels of free radicals, basically oxidative stress.

So it's really, really fundamental. And I think as we become more sort of connected, if you will, as a society, you know, if you just think about the Wi-Fi, you've got your cell phones, even the TV remote control, you know, the Apple Watches and things like that as well. Before we dig in a bit more into details, Yuri, I would love to hear a little bit about your story and your journey to your passion now for this field.

Yes. So my story is getting back to around 2012, 2013. Back in the days, I was struggling with my health. You know, I know that it was the lifestyle at the university, you know, so lack of sleep, too much alcohol, but after the 6 years, you know, there was high blood pressure, high cholesterol, brain fog, and all of that. Because the doctors, they just told me like, yeah, here are the pills and this is for the rest of your life. And, you know, I didn't want to go that road. So I very drastically changed my diet. And after 6 months, all the symptoms were gone. And it took another 1.5 years for my whole body to adapt and restore. But after this experience, basically I had this feeling, had this calling, you know, to help people with health and wellness. I didn't know like how specifically. I just know that throughout the experience I had and the things that I've learned, I would like to do this somehow. It was 2018. I stumbled upon somatic at a friend's house. Yeah, after, you know, these were those colorful lamps were placed everywhere. And after he told me like, this is what it is doing, here are some very interesting like feedback from customers, it just clicked. And I said, yes, this is it. This is what I would like to do, how I would like to help people on a scale. And started slowly collaborating with him and yeah, then set up the US branch in 2019 and Yeah, the rest is history, as they say.

And so let's talk about SumoVedic and the products that you have and how they help or how they mitigate these frequencies that we were talking about before. Can you walk people through to really understand the science behind them?

So SumoVedic was basically developed by Ivan. He's the inventor, he's the co-founder, and it was also because of necessity. And the principle behind Somavetic is that there's the combination of Eastern approach to health and wellness with Western frequency therapy technology. So you have inside of each Somavetic, there are various precious stones and minerals and precious metals and energy amplifiers that are working in correlation with each other and amplifying each other. On top of that, we have the subtle frequency therapy technology that is amplifying the field even more. So what Somavedic is doing is creating this coherent field around it where our bodies are not that stressed by the external environment, as for example by EMFs.

And what exactly happens for someone to understand? So if your office, you have the Wi-Fi, you have your cell phone around you the whole day and you place one of the Somavedic devices, say, on your desk, or I don't know, is there certain distances? What exactly is happening when you have one of those around?

Thanks to the field that the Somavedic is creating, this coherent field is allowing our bodies to regenerate themselves, you know, because it's the faster, because it's the body that is doing the actual healing. And with the field of the Somavedic, we are allowing that to improve. So for example, the most common feedback that we get from our customers is that their sleep is improving. They have more energy during the day. They have fewer headaches, less brain fog. They feel more in peace and more calmer. And with people that have it in office spaces, For example, we have doctors that have it. They said that they have more energy towards the end of the day, so they are more productive and they can treat more patients.

Which is really incredible. And also, from my understanding, is it that it gives out sort of positive energy while you're still getting the negative energy, or does it act as a shield from the negative waves of EMFs?

Yeah, that's a very important question. The Somavetic is not blocking the EMF nor any other signal. The EMFs are still there. If you would take your EMF meter, you would measure the same amount, the same levels. What the Somavetic is doing is creating its own field on top of everything. So your cell phone, your Wi-Fi, and any other device is working, still working fine, but you have this supportive field, the supportive field from the somatic. And the data we have, for example, from Germany are showing the improved cell regeneration in an EMF environment. That means they took human cells and placed them in a shielded environment. There were no EMFs. Then they took the cells and placed it in the standard environment that we live in. And then they brought Somavedic in and placed it next to them. And there was quite significant difference in the speed of cell regeneration. So you could see that how the Somavedic is working and helping in the natural, let's say the natural working environment.

In the normal lifestyle one as well. So can you talk specifically about these beautiful products? Because in themselves, they're almost like a work of art, but can you just walk through the benefits and the composition of them?

They are literally a work of art because each Somovedic, the glass body, is hand-blown. So each one is original. You know, the Czech Republic has a long history of glass factories, of traditional glassmaking, so each of the glass cold processes are hand-blown, handmade, hand-assembled, and We have various types of somobiotics with various admixtures, but in general, how they differentiate between each other and how you can tell in our comparison table is that there are two main differentiators: if they are structuring the water or not, and if they are strong enough to mitigate the 5G effects.

Can you walk through for someone unfamiliar what you mean by structuring water?

So there was this famous Japanese scientist, Masaru Emoto, that brought this topic to mainstream, where he was showing these beautiful photos of water crystals when you were saying nice words, for example. And then, you know, when you were, let's say, giving out negative energy or measuring, he was doing these photos from dirty rivers. And when he took the photo of the crystal, the crystal was chaotic. And the structured water has very symmetrical and nice shape. It's almost like a shape of a snowflake. It's really nice. Then why this is important is that in our cells there is only structured water. So that means the structured water is the most bioavailable state of water. So we get most hydration out of the same amount of water.

It can basically be influenced, right, from having these positive fields around it. So if there's the negativity, it has a negative influence, and then if there's a positive field, that has a positive influence as well, right? Yeah.

Yes, yes, exactly. So currently we don't have access to structured water. It's not in the tap water, is not in the plastic or glass waters. You can find it, of course, in flowing rivers, for example, in nature.. But if you wanna have your water structured, you would need some kind of device. But what's also working is that, you know, sending— and some people might laugh— but sending like positive emotions to a glass of water for let's say a minute or so, and you could really taste the difference. So this is also how you can structure the water.

I've seen presentations on this and it's really cool. If anyone's interested, they can research and we'll link this in the show notes also to check it out. And I think when you actually visually see the differences, it's just incredible what frequency and energy can actually do, which then goes to show what's happening in your environment with EMFs. But then if you have a mitigator like the Somavedic products as well, it's really phenomenal. Can you talk about some of the ideal setups for people? Would you recommend having like several around the home and in the office and in schools? What are some use cases that you would recommend for optimal benefits?

Yeah, so as the Somavetic has a quite large field, it's 100 feet radius, that means 100 feet into all directions, up, down, left, right, and the field is penetrating walls and floors. That means in most cases one Somavetic per household is enough. So you can place it somewhere in the middle of your apartment or home, in let's say living room or kitchen where you can structure the water. In case you would have a bigger apartment or home, then place the Somovec a bit closer to the bedroom, not directly in the bedroom, but closer to the bedroom because you know the sleep is the most crucial time when our bodies are regenerating. And so we have to be very protective of this phase of the sleep. It's really important to lower the EMF exposure, especially during the night.

So you said not in the bedroom, so you don't recommend having it actually in the bedroom but near the bedroom, is that right?

Yes, not in the bedroom because the light is quite bright. Of course you can cover it, but for the first days With Somavedic, we don't recommend having it in the bedroom because, you know, your body is in a different environment. And if the Somavedic is for the first few days, like let's say too close, it might disturb your sleep because there are different processes as detox effects going on.

But I guess after a while, your body also gets used to the different energy frequency as well.

Right? Yes, yes, of course. This is just temporary.

And I understand that you're passionate about helping companies support employees in mental health, Jurej. Can you talk about some of the initiatives that you're doing around this?

Yes, yes, sure. So we just recently launched the Actively Harmonized Space certification, and this is a program for companies that would like to create the a supportive environment of their employees in terms of the EMFs that we are talking about. We know that they are negatively affecting our sleep, our focus, and eventually our performance. So from the data and feedback that we are getting, when we have, we know that the Somavetic is basically improving all of these things, which is leading to higher efficiency, people, you know, are not that often sick. So we try to provide the best possible working environment when they are surrounded with all of these technologies.

Which is so excellent, sort of to go above and beyond, I think also for the companies that they're really taking care of their employees and because of the detrimental effects of all these EMF radiation. So why not, you know, focus around helping employees to feel at their best as well. Yes, yes, definitely. Amazing. A few rapid-fire questions for you. Do you have any particular morning routine that you do to set yourself up for success?

Each morning I'm walking the dog early, quite, quite early. When there's the opportunity, I'm barefoot for the grounding effects and everything. I tried it once on snow, but that was too extreme. But, uh, yeah, but basically most of the year it's possible to be barefoot, at least, you know, for a few minutes in the morning. So that's one. Then, you know, I try not to eat 3 to 4 hours before going to sleep. Yeah. And when you mentioned Wim Hof, I'm also, you know, practicing the Wim Hof breathing method.

Have you noticed a big change?

Yes, yes, yes, definitely in the energy level. So yeah, I would say these three things.

Are you also doing the cold exposure above and beyond the barefoot in snow?

Not that often. The cold exposure, not that often.

Yeah. It's tricky to get started, but I think some people are really addicted to it. I mean, hats off for people who really go into an ice bath. I haven't gotten that far, but I do try to have a cold shower, which will wake you up more than anything, but it's really beneficial. Has there been any advice that you've received or a quote that has been a real game changer for you?

Yes, it's very short, but what helped me mostly in my, you know, entrepreneurship career is— I don't know who the quote is from, it's not even a quote, it's basically, you know, just a sentence like delay your gratification. That when I always think about it, you know, that makes me like work more and delay the whatever, you know, I'm thinking about.

Yeah. They actually had a test, the marshmallow test on kids. I think it was with Stanford University. Did you hear about the marshmallow test?

I think I did.

Yes. Yeah, exactly. Where they had 3 different groups of kids basically. And if they waited 10 minutes, they would get a second marshmallow. And I think a third of the kids ate the marshmallow straight away. They couldn't wait. Another third waited like 2 minutes, and then they had the marshmallow. And then the third that managed to wait the 10 minutes and get 2 marshmallows— so delayed gratification— turned out that they were much more successful in life. They tracked them as well. So yeah, I think delayed gratification is something I also need to practice as well. Sometimes it's like, oh, I've done this already, so let's do that. But I mean, on the flip side as well, it's important to celebrate the wins, right?

So it's finding that— definitely, definitely. Finding a balance as well.

Yes. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Between the two. What trends and developments in the biohacking longevity health optimization space do you find most exciting?

I'm definitely curious to see where the, the telomeres research will lead us. That's really, let's say, almost an industry. And I'm really curious to see what will come out of this. And then also, as we have Somavetic device, you know, I'm really looking forward to expanding this kind of technologies, these subtle frequency therapy technologies into our everyday lives, you know, to become it as a standard thing or device that you buy when you are moving into your home, new home or flat. That's just one of the things that you buy for your home and for your work.

Yes, exactly. What are some of the developments that you guys are working on at Summer Vedic? What are you most excited about?

Yeah, so currently we are working on a model with a different shape. It would have the same properties, but different shape. So it would be more robust and durable. So it's easier for people to have it in their cars for travels because all of them have USB ports. So you can plug it everywhere or anywhere, but you know, this will be towards the end of the year sometime.

That's exciting as well. So people really have the benefits all around, which is great. For my listeners interested in understanding more about EMFs and the science, where are some good online resources you could recommend for them to start with?

There are some, for example, if you go to Dr. Mercola, M-E-R-C-O-L-A. Mercola.

Okay.

Mercola. Yes. So he wrote the book EMF'd. So that's really a great book on EMFs and history and everything. There are lots of studies. There are like various articles on his webpage. We have also, for example, as well in our science page, we have different links to studies what the EMF is causing. But also if you, you know, if you would enter like Stop 5G, for example, even though they, you know, sometimes are controversial, but they have a great list of studies showing the impacts of EMFs on our bodies.

Amazing. And in terms of 5G, I know for some people it's a very sensitive topic, but the Somavedic products actually give enough benefit to even sort of balance out 5G frequencies as well, right?

Yes, yes. Even in cities where currently lots of them where the 5G is on already running, we have, you know, people like writing us about finally they had a great sleep or they don't have these like headaches or brain fog or irritations.

Yes. And for people listening, it's somavedic.com, and then there's the science section on there which you mentioned there before. For people interested in following what you're up to and Somavedic, where can people follow you?

Yes, so it's the webpage that you already mentioned, and then is the Instagram account somavedic_official. So there we post, you know, what events we are attending, where we are speaking, where we are exhibiting, what are some new things in our product lineup, and of course some interesting information around EMFs and the science as well.

Do you have a final ask, recommendation, or any parting thoughts for my audience?

There's one. As Somavedic is emitting this really subtle energy, you just really have to experience the Somavedic. Because we have so many various feedbacks that we are getting from our customers. You just have to test it for yourself and see if it's working for you or not. And that's why we have the 60-day money-back guarantee. So there's no risk basically to try it out for 2 months and see for yourself if it's helping you or not.

Excellent. So yeah, here's to a lot of happy people feeling very well and getting great sleep thanks to your products at Somavedic. Thank you so much, Juraj, for coming on today.
