🎧 Episode 9: Wireless Radiation & Fertility: Cell Phones, WiFi, EMF Exposure with Dr. Robert Brown
In this episode of The WOVA Circle Fertility Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Rob Brown, a board-certified diagnostic radiologist with over 30 years of experience and Vice President of Scientific Research and Clinical Affairs at the Environmental Health Trust. We dive into why understanding wireless radiation exposure from cell phones and WiFi to laptops and wearables is essential for fertility, and how simple, practical changes can protect your reproductive health without giving up modern technology.
This eye-opening conversation explores Dr. Brown's groundbreaking 2025 ultrasound research published in Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, showing what happens inside the body after just 5 minutes of cell phone exposure. We discuss why fertility rates have dropped 50% in 50 years, how wireless radiation affects sperm and egg health, why regulations are decades behind the science, and how EMF exposure disrupts the body's natural healing processes. Dr. Brown breaks down the science in accessible terms and provides actionable strategies to reduce exposure while living in the modern world.
