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.   Connect with Jan-Rutger Schrader, PhD: Website: https://www.jrseco.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jrsecowireless  Email: info@jrseco.com    Use code: SaferWiFi to save 10% off your eco router   Connect with R Blank and Stephanie Warner:  For more Healthier Tech Podcast episodes, and to download our Healthier Tech Quick Start Guide, visit https://HealthierTech.co and follow https://instagram.com/healthiertech Additional Links: EMF Superstore: https://ShieldYourBody.com (save 15% with code “pod”) Digital Wellbeing with a Human Soul: https://Bagby.co (save 15% with code “pod”) Youtube: https://youtube.com/shieldyourbody Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bagbybrand/  Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bagby.co Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shieldyourbody
