Hi, I’m Ryan.
I never set out to become “the EMF guy.” Honestly, a few years ago I didn’t even know what EMF stood for. But here I am, and I’m glad you found this site. Let me tell you how I got here.
It started the way a lot of things start for me. I went down a rabbit hole.
I had already been on a wellness kick for a while. I swapped out my cleaning products for non-toxic ones. I got a water filter. I started reading ingredient labels on everything. I bought an air purifier and tracked my sleep with an app. You know the drill. Once you start paying attention to what goes into your body and your home, it’s hard to stop.
One night I was reading about ways to improve sleep quality and I came across an article about electromagnetic fields in the bedroom. It talked about things like phone chargers on the nightstand, Wi-Fi routers in the hallway, and the wiring inside your walls. The article said all of these things give off low-level EMF that some researchers believe could affect sleep.
My first reaction was skepticism. My second reaction was curiosity. So I did what I always do. I started researching.
I spent weeks reading studies, watching interviews with researchers, and trying to separate the real science from the noise. And there is a lot of noise in this space. Some websites told me Wi-Fi was going to kill my family. Others said EMF concerns were completely made up. I decided the only way to actually know anything about my own home was to measure it.
Then I Started Testing
Here’s a confession that explains a lot about this site. The first meter I ever bought was a LATNEX MG-300, and I bought it primarily because I wanted to measure RF, the radiation from Wi-Fi, phones, and towers.
The MG-300 doesn’t measure RF. At all. It measures low-frequency magnetic fields from wiring and appliances, full stop, and nothing on the box stopped me from making that mistake. That was my first lesson in this subject, and it’s a big part of why every review on this site starts with the spec sheet instead of the marketing.
The first meter I bought that could actually see RF was a TriField TF2. I walked around my house and started measuring things, and what I found genuinely surprised me. Not in a scary way, but in a “huh, I had no idea” way. Certain spots in my home had readings that were much higher than I expected, and other spots I assumed would be bad were totally fine.
That was the moment I got hooked. Not hooked on fear. Hooked on understanding.
I later added a GQ EMF-390 so I could track readings over time, and my reference meter for RF is a Safe and Sound Pro II, the meter I check every other RF reading against, while the TF2 remains my reference for magnetic fields. I also own the Safe and Sound Pro mmWave, the specialized meter for high-band 5G frequencies that everything else on this list is blind to.
Between them I can measure magnetic fields, electric fields, and RF from FM radio all the way up to millimeter wave, which covers everything you’d encounter anywhere near a normal home. And the collection keeps growing: I have more meters sitting on my bench right now that haven’t been reviewed yet, because I buy them faster than I can test them properly, and I’d rather publish late than publish guesses.
The meters that have earned my recommendation so far are ranked in my best EMF meters and best RF meters guides, and the full rundown of my equipment and methods is on my how I test page.
What Happened Next
Once I started measuring, I started making changes. Not all at once, and not out of panic. Just one thing at a time, based on what the numbers actually showed me.
I replaced our regular Wi-Fi router with a JRS Eco router. The difference from a standard router is that it doesn’t sit there pulsing RF all day waiting for something to happen. It goes silent when nothing needs it and only kicks on when a device is actually using the internet.
I got an EMF shielding case for my phone and a laptop shield for when I work from the couch. I switched to air tube headphones, which keep the last stretch of wire from carrying RF up to your ear. I picked up a Faraday bag after getting curious about what full disconnection actually looked like on a meter. It turns out Faraday bags are less about EMF reduction and more about privacy and intentional disconnection, and there are situations where they do something airplane mode simply cannot. I get into all of that in the reviews.
I tested EMF blocking fabric, including a bed canopy, which is where shielding fabric actually makes sense, and looked into shielding clothing. I own and wear multiple pieces of HAVN apparel and have tested several of them with my meters.
My wife wears an EMF Harmony necklace that she loves. To be fair to the product, it doesn’t claim to block EMF, and its claims aren’t the kind any meter can test. So I’ll be straight with you the same way I am about everything else: I can verify what can be measured, and claims that can’t be measured are ones I leave for you to weigh yourself. Some of what I’ve bought made a real difference on the meter. A few things turned out to be a complete waste of money. I tell you about all of it either way.
Why I Built This Site
Once I started learning about EMF, I realized there was a real gap in the information out there. Most websites fell into one of two camps. Either they were trying to terrify you into buying something, or they were dismissing the entire topic as nonsense. I could not find a single resource that just laid out the facts in plain language and let me make my own decisions.
So I decided to build one.
This site is the resource I wish I had found when I first started looking into EMF. Everything here is written with one goal: to give you clear, honest, and useful information so you can make informed choices for yourself and your family.
What You Can Expect From Me
When I have tested something personally, I show you the readings, the setup, and what I think. When I am pulling from published research, manufacturer specifications, or other people’s work, I tell you that too, plainly, in the review itself.
I cite my sources. If I mention a study, I link to it. If I reference a health claim, I point you to where it came from. You deserve to check the information for yourself.
I am not a doctor, and I am not an engineer. I am a regular person who cares about health and has spent a lot of time researching and testing these products. I share what I have found and let you decide what makes sense for your life.
I do not do fear. You will never see phrases like “deadly radiation” or “silent killer” on this site. My approach is calm, practical, and grounded in what the research actually says.
I call it like I see it. If a product works, I tell you why. If a product is a waste of money, I tell you that too. So far I have bought every product I’ve reviewed with my own money, and if a manufacturer ever sends me something, that review will say so in plain sight. I am not here to sell you something.

How I Think About EMF
I see EMF awareness as one piece of a bigger picture. It sits right alongside things like clean eating, good sleep, staying active, and reducing toxins in your home. It is not the only thing that matters, and it is not something to lose sleep over, which is kind of ironic given how much of this started with me trying to sleep better.
Here is where I’ve landed after a few years of reading and measuring, stated as plainly as I can.
The world’s major health agencies, the FCC, the WHO, and ICNIRP, the international body that sets the exposure guidelines most of the world uses, have reviewed the research and found no established harm from everyday exposure below those limits, and typical home readings sit far below them. I take that seriously, and you’ll see me interpret every measurement on this site against those limits, because they’re the standard the actual evidence supports.
I also know that a group of researchers formally disagrees and has petitioned for stricter standards, and that debate over long-term, low-level effects is ongoing. I don’t pretend that disagreement doesn’t exist, and I don’t oversell it either. When I cover it, I tell you accurately what each side actually says and link you to the sources, because you deserve the real picture, not my thumb on the scale.
And then there’s my personal choice, which is exactly that: a choice. Reducing my family’s exposure where it’s easy and cheap, distance, wired connections, a quieter router, costs me nothing and lets me stop thinking about the topic. I’m not doing it because the evidence says I must. I’m doing it because I prefer a home with less of what I don’t need, the same reason I filter my water. If you feel the same way, this site will show you what actually works, with meter readings to prove it. If you don’t, that’s a completely reasonable read of the science, and you’re still welcome here for the measurement nerdery.
What This Site Covers
Everything on this site falls into four areas.

One Last Thing
I built this site because I believe you deserve good information, not scare tactics. If something I write helps you understand your home a little better or make a choice that feels right for you, then this whole project is worth it.
Thanks for being here. I am glad you are curious. That is the best place to start.
Welcome to the site.
