I came across a shocking statistic recently that I simply couldn’t ignore: brain cancer is now the number one cause of cancer death in children aged 4–14.
When I saw that, I went straight into research mode… and what I uncovered genuinely shocked me.

Our kids are growing up in an environment that didn’t exist when we were young, a world saturated in EMFs from phones, iPads, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth earbuds, smart watches and more. And because children’s skulls are thinner and their nervous systems are still wiring themselves, they absorb this radiation far more deeply.

In this episode, I break down exactly what EMFs are, where the biggest exposures come from, and the simple everyday steps you can take to dramatically reduce your child’s EMF load. I also walk you through a major 2025 WHO-commissioned review recommending that wireless radiation be upgraded from a possible to a known carcinogen and why that matters so much for parents.

And because no episode of Heal Your Gut. Heal Your Life. is complete without talking about food, I finish with my top brain-nourishing foods to boost brain health, memory, focus and resilience for kids and grown-ups.

This is one of the most important episodes I’ve ever recorded. Once you hear it, you’ll make changes and fast.

Listen now to learn:

• Why brain cancer is increasing in children
• What EMFs really are and how they affect developing brains
• The everyday EMF exposures hiding in plain sight
• What the 2025 WHO-commissioned review actually found
• How EMFs impact sleep, inflammation, mood and behaviour
• The easiest ways to reduce EMF exposure at home
• The top foods that nourish and protect the brain
