53: Understanding EMFs: Ben Salem on Radiation Risks and Mitigation Techniques
Manage episode 428130241 series 3506750
My guest for this episode is Ben Salem, a real estate developer who stumbled into the EMF mitigation business out of concern for his kids’ health. Ben shares his journey from a worried parent to the founder of WaveBlock, a company dedicated to reducing harmful radiation from everyday devices.
WaveBlock is a sticker that you attach to your devices, which then works to disperse rather than block radiation, making it an effective and user-friendly solution for mitigating EMF exposure without completely disconnecting from modern conveniences.
Ben and I talk about the distinction between natural EMFs and the man-made ones that saturate our modern environment (including why this exposure is a growing concern), as well as the key differences between ionizing and non-ionizing radiation (and why the latter, despite being less understood, can still pose significant health risks).
Ben’s hands-on approach, including converting his office into a Faraday cage for testing, highlights the lengths he’s gone to ensure the effectiveness of his products. And his insight into how children are especially vulnerable to EMF exposure due to their thinner skulls is eye-opening.
If you’ve ever wondered about the invisible waves that permeate our lives and how to protect yourself and your loved ones, this episode is packed with valuable insights and practical advice.
And if you’re new to the topic, make sure to read my article about how EMFs impact your health for a deep dive into the science.

About Ben Salem
Ben Salem is the CEO of WaveBlock™. WaveBlock™ was founded in California by a concerned father with a desire to ensure the safety of his children and enhance the quality of life for everyday users of electronic devices, which emit electromagnetic frequencies (EMF's). After learning of the potential negative impact on the brain, and how younger children are more susceptible, the goal was clear from the start. Our mission is to create products that reduce the footprint of harmful EMF's by dispersing radiation. WaveBlock™ started with the Pro and Classic products, designed for wireless earbuds, and these easily-applied stickers have now grown to a family of products that also protect your cell phones and more! Most importantly, they protect YOU from harmful health issues. The ease of application, delivering safety and convenience are benchmarks of WaveBlock™. Most importantly, you can trust the WaveBlock™ brand due to a penchant for FCC accredited laboratory testing with proven results shown on our website. As such, you can review with confidence knowing we show complete transparency! Not all EMF protection is created equal, and our patented technology is the prominent solution that has led to a loyal and impassioned following.
