    ENCORE: Andrew McAfee Answers Your Questions about Grounding Safety

    Today, we're honored to have a true trailblazer in the realm of electromagnetic field (EMF) protection and home wellness – Andrew McAfee. Based in Raleigh, North Carolina, Andrew's journey is a testament to turning personal challenges into a quest for solutions.   He is also the inventor of the ground-breaking NCB, which is available at Shield Your Body. This is the world’s first product to safely strip dirty electricity and contact current from the grounding conductor. Andrew explains today how the NCB is different from other dirty electricity filters, what dirty electricity is, and how it can often manifest in electro-sensitivity.    In this episode, you will hear:  What electro-sensitivity is, how it manifested for Andrew and his wife, and the levels of perception.  Defining dirty electricity (DE).  How electricity affects the infections in our bodies.  Things power companies, homeowners, and corporations can do to help clean up dirty electricity.  The necessity for health standards, not just fire safety standards in building codes.  The NCB Pro and why it addresses the grounding conductor, unlike other dirty electricity filters.  The key difference between the NCB and the NCB Pro.  Handling dirty energy in your apartment.  Diseases and other conditions caused by electrical sensitivity.  Your grounding is dirty and dangerous until proven otherwise.    A seasoned EMF consultant, Andrew's story began with a realization—health issues tied to wiring problems in his own home.    After moving into a brand new home Andrew and his wife became electrically sensitive in 2001. He was fortunate to have Charles Keen and Karl Riley as early mentors. Beginning in 2010 Andrew successfully petitioned the NC Utility Commission to order Duke Energy to provide a no-cost, non-emitting meter for its customers.   After 15 years as Principal Horn of the NC Symphony, earning a master's degree in conducting, and 10 years as a professor of music at UNC Chapel Hill, he left music to help others with ES. Andrew was featured in a 2014 TIME docu-film “Searching for a Golden Cage” about electro-sensitivity.   In 2017, he made the leap to become a full-time EMF consultant, channeling his knowledge into creating safer living spaces for all.   Utilizing electrical training materials from Mike Holt, Andrew earned a Residential Electrician's Career Diploma in Penn Foster’s year-long program in 2019.  In 2020, he wrote 6 short books as a part of his Killing Current series to raise awareness about the dangers of contact current, and in 2021 co-created a web course “Staying Healthy in a 5G World.”    Fast forward to today, and Andrew stands as the innovative mind behind the NCB Pro, a groundbreaking solution reshaping the landscape of home grounding safety. As a career diplomat in residential electricity, he brings a unique blend of expertise and passion to the world of EMF protection.   He currently works full-time for Bonneville Electric as a project manager and service technician and has earned an OSHA 10 safety certification.   He is also the inventor of the ground-breaking NCB, which is available at Shield Your Body.   Connect with Andrew McAfee: Website: https://www.homeemftracing.com/    Find out more about the NCB at: https://shieldyourbody.com/ground      Connect with R Blank and Stephanie Warner:  For more Healthier Tech Podcast episodes, and to download our Healthier Tech Quick Start Guide, visit https://HealthierTech.co and follow https://instagram.com/healthiertech   Additional Links: Shield Your Body website: https://ShieldYourBody.com Shield Your Body Youtube Channel: https://youtube.com/shieldyourbody Host R Blank on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rblank9/ Shield Your Body on Instagram: https://instagram.com/shieldyourbody

    Enrico Margaritelli Wants You to Benefit from Teslar Tech

    Joining us today is Enrico Margaritelli, a remarkable figure in the watch industry with a legacy that spans generations. Born into a family of watchmakers, Enrico's journey began with his grandfather, Ariodante Margaritelli, who crafted precision watch instruments for the Italian army during the world wars. This rich heritage laid the foundation for Enrico’s career in watchmaking. After completing his studies, he expanded his knowledge by working with two of the most influential business minds of our times – Philippe Starck and Giorgio Armani.  In 2017, Enrico co-founded TESLAR Technology, introducing innovative wearable products designed to protect against electromagnetic radiation, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being. These advanced wearables feature the Turbo TESLAR Chip, utilizing scalar technology to bolster the body's natural defenses. In this episode, you will hear:  An explanation of the TESLAR technology and how it helps wearers.  Enrico describes the difference between a single Turbo TESLAR Chip and the former double chips. How the TESLAR Technology products claim to filter electromagnetic frequencies. Why we should be protecting our bodies from EMF.  The use of the triple meridian as a conduit to create a shield.  Changing the batteries and the chips for the TESLAR products. Analog versus digital technologies and their effects on body acclimation. Born into the heart of the watch industry, Enrico Margaritelli has always striven to forge his own path within it. During the First and Second World Wars, his grandfather Ariodante Margaritelli, a watchmaker in Parma, created sophisticated technical precision watch instruments for the Italian army. That grounding in the family business provided a foundation for Margaritelli when he joined it, after completing his studies.  Margaritelli went on to develop his knowledge of the watch industry by working with two of the most influential and creative business minds of our times – Philippe Starck and Giorgio Armani. He established a partnership with an important Public company in Italy and worked with Philippe Starck to design the first, ever P Starck digital watch. Then, he began licensing Emporio Armani watches and jewelry, before moving to Dallas and become president of the license and luxury division of the company. He also collaborated on watches with fellow Italian Renzo Rosso, creator of Diesel, Rosemarie Bravo, CEO of Burberry, Tiffany, FURLA, and Shinola. By 2006 he was ready, with wife Isabelle, to launch Glam Rock, these days a brand adored by Hollywood celebrities and music-industry stars. "I learned something from each of the fashion geniuses of our time with whom I worked,” he says. In 2017 he created a new LLC together with Ilonka Harezi, co-inventor of TESLAR Technology and start the re-launch of Teslar products. In 2023 he launched the wearable collection,  a unisex bracelet that contains the miniaturization of latest Turbo TESLAR Chip.  Connect with Enrico Margaritelli: Website: https://www.teslar.com/  Teslar Science: https://teslarscience.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/teslarwellness  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/teslarwellness/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdQyK0HrXwqL1WpGJujNr0A    Connect with R Blank and Stephanie Warner:  For more Healthier Tech Podcast episodes, and to download our Healthier Tech Quick Start Guide, visit https://HealthierTech.co and follow https://instagram.com/healthiertech  Additional Links: EMF Superstore: https://ShieldYourBody.com (save 15% with code “pod”) Digital Wellbeing with a Human Soul: https://Bagby.co (save 15% with code “pod”) Youtube: https://youtube.com/shieldyourbody Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bagbybrand/  Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bagby.co Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shieldyourbody
