THC 032: Reducing Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) in Your Tiny Home with Amie Skilton

What are electromagnetic fields (EMFs), how can they affect your health and how can you reduce exposure in your tiny home?

These are just some of the questions we answer in today’s episode with my returning guest Amie Skilton. 

Amie is a Naturopath, Nutritionist, Herbalist, Certified Mould Testing Technician and is currently completing her studies as an EMF Testing Technician.

As a former Functional Medicine Practitioner of 18 years, Amie’s view of root-cause medicine was forever altered as a result of an environmentally acquired illness.

In 2017, after developing Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) herself, she discovered the world of building biology and the various ways in which the built environment has a profound impact on human health. She realised her naturopathic, nutritional and herbal toolkit, were only as useful as her environment was healthy.

She’s now on a mission to raise awareness of a commonly overlooked but monumentally significant influence on health and wellbeing.

Just like we discussed with Amie in episode #28 all about mould and the importance of a healthy home environment, today’s topic of electromagnetic fields and electromagnetic radiation is also incredibly important when it comes to our physical, mental and emotional health.

In this conversation we talk about:

  • The different kinds of EMFs, which are most concerning and the common sources in your tiny home
  • Preventative measures you can take to reduce EMF exposure in your tiny home, whether you’re building from scratch or already living in your tiny
  • Off-grid solar systems and EMFs
  • The most and least EMF-protective building materials
  • All about Amie’s course, EMF-Proof Your Home… and SO MUCH more!

Note: EMF is a huge topic, and because of the depth and many layers of this area, and time constraints, we didn’t get to dive into symptoms of electro-sensitivity from EMF exposure in this episode. And just like we spoke about with mould, EMF exposure can affect people differently. Some of us like myself are super aware and sensitive of how it makes us feel (I typically get headaches and buzzing or ringing in the ears, especially if I’ve been microwaved by wifi in a place of high exposure). Others may not experience noticeable symptoms, and some people may not even be aware that certain symptoms or things they’re experiencing can be attributed to EMFs. 

So I want to direct you to a resource that I’ve put in the resources section below. It’s a patient questionnaire that Amie has provided that covers a list of symptoms that can be related to electro-hypersensitivity. Again, just like mould, these symptoms can be similar to other health complaints, but if you’re someone who has unexplained symptoms or a health condition that you haven’t been able to get to the bottom of, it’s good to have the awareness that EMFs could be a contributing factor, especially if you have high levels of exposure in your daily life.

It’s also worth mentioning that this topic is often met with resistance in mainstream circles and regarded as a non-issue when it comes to our health. But you’ll want to tune in for the whole conversation and hear what Amie has to say at the end about the misguided science around all of this.
