If wifi, your phone, or simply being at home makes you feel unwell, you're not the only one. According to population surveys, between 1.5% and 5% of people in countries such as Sweden, Austria, the Netherlands or Switzerland describe headaches, fatigue or difficulty sleeping that they associate with their electromagnetic environment,1 and the scientific literature treats this association as an active area of study.2 One group of researchers has proposed objective biomarkers (oxidative stress, altered cerebral blood flow) to characterise EHS as a diagnosable neurological disorder, and has called for its formal recognition by the WHO, which does not currently consider it a medical diagnosis.3–5
I always start the same way: I measure your space rigorously, zone by zone, so you have real data to act on. From there, I design a concrete intervention plan for your home. In the Individual Coaching service, I also carry out a biophysical assessment of your possible degree of electrosensitivity, using the EFEIA questionnaires and GDV camera measurement, and set out electromagnetic hygiene and lifestyle guidelines tailored to you.

Those studies do not take the type of polarisation into account in their design and expose participants to simulated signals, two aspects that are critical when assessing harm from electromagnetic pollution, as the review by Panagopoulos, D.
