Tech Toxins The Toxic Risks of Technology

WE TALK A LOT ABOUT HAVING BALANCE AND LIVING WELL WITH TECHNOLOGY. AVOIDING TECH TOXINS, STEP BY STEP, GETS US CLOSER TO USING OUR DEVICES IN A HEALTHIER WAY.

TECH TOXIN™ 1: EMF's

The information carrying radio waves that allow all of our digital devices to talk to each other. Decades of peer reviewed research has proven that EMF’s do have a biological effect on us—and it’s cumulative. The more exposure, the bigger the effect. You can’t see or smell EMF’s but you can control your exposure. That's why we say "Distance is your friend" when it comes to EMF's. Plus, we buy products that claim to protect you and we conduct our own demonstrations to see if they actually do.

TECH-TOXIN™ 2: CYBER SECURITY AND ONLINE PRIVACY

Has this happened to you? You’re just talking about a product or service—not looking online for it—and suddenly, miraculously, ads for that very thing start showing up everywhere. How do “they” know? Are “they” listening? In a word, yes, “they” are listening. Our personal information, where we go online and what we say or do while were there, can be archived, shared or sold--But it doesn't have to be. We can help you take control and stay up to date on the constantly changing steps you need to take to make sure your business STAYS your business.

TECH-TOXIN™ 3: INTERNET ADDICTION

We need to be smart and mindful of something that you wouldn’t normally think about as a toxin—but if it happens to you it can feel incredibly toxic— it’s the loss of privacy. Our personal information, where we go online and what we say or do while were there can be archived, shared or sold. Tech Wellness guides you through the best settings and best practices to navigate wisely.

TECH TOXIN™ 4: BLUE LIGHT

If you’re spending too much time in front of your screens, you could be impacting the quality of your sleep and the quality of your life. There’s no need for aching eyes and the dreaded “tech neck.” You can learn the best times of day to be exposed to the right kind of light, so that your concentration and motivation are at their peaks.

About The Author:

August Brice, Founder, Tech Wellness and SaferTech. August’s passion is to bring mindfulness and balance to our relationship with technology. She began her wellness journey over 25 years ago, when as a young mother and the busy Co-CEO of a successful advertising agency, August developed symptoms which she later identified as electro-magnetic sensitivity or ES. That began her journey to learn more and share what she learned with others. Her first videos on the subject were published over a dozen years ago. She is a patent holder, along with Dr. Carlo on a device designed to protect users from the RF radiation put out by our smart phones. Unlike most other sites dealing with these topics, Tech Wellness vets all posts through a panel of world renowned experts and independently purchases and tests products that claim to offer protection. August’s mission is to be a trusted resource for people searching for balance with their technology.
