We give you practical tools to limit your tech toxin exposure and prioritize your health without sacrificing technology.    In each episode, we interview passionate leaders in the health and technology space who give you the tools to navigate and thrive within our technology-driven world. Our goal is to demystify the dangers of tech and bring you practical advice to protect yourself from EMFs, blue light, internet overuse, and how to recognize the signs of tech addiction.    As we age, our bodies naturally produce fewer antioxidants and catalase, which are essential for maintaining the health and functionality of our mitochondria. Additionally, oxidative radicals, which are damaging molecules that can cause oxidative damage in our bodies, become more prevalent as we age.   However, C60, a powerful antioxidant, can help neutralize these oxidative radicals and prevent them from causing damage to our cells. By absorbing these oxidative radicals, C60 has the potential to restore energy levels and mental clarity, counteracting some of the effects of aging.   In this episode, the Founder and Creator of Shop C60, Ken Swartz, shared his personal experience with C60 and macular degeneration. He breaks down the science behind C60 and its potential benefits. From its role in protecting against EMFs to its potential impact on overall well-being, C60 is definitely something worth exploring further.   The conversation also touches on topics such as mindful living in a digital world, tech toxins, cybersecurity, EMFs, online privacy, internet overuse, addiction, and blue light, and how C60 can help. Ken also stresses the significance of backing up claims with real evidence. In a world where anyone can make bold statements, it's crucial to rely on research and scientific studies to separate fact from fiction.   If you're interested in learning more about these topics and gaining practical insights on how to navigate the digital world while prioritizing your well-being, this episode is a must-listen!     Timestamps [00:04:11] Macular degeneration disappearance [00:08:04] Shungite and C60 research [00:10:22] Shungite and C60 clarification [00:14:05] Torsion energy and time technology [00:17:14] Electromagnetic radiation and protein damage [00:19:11] Remote plant growth stimulation [00:23:10] Real scientific evidence with C60 [00:26:01] C60's unique charge interactions [00:29:11] C60's effect on the body [00:36:28] Cellular regeneration and electromagnetic sensitivity [00:37:29] Hair growth and inflammation reduction [00:41:30] Senescent cells and aging [00:43:05] Athletic performance and C60 [00:47:19] The Goldilocks of oils [00:49:15] More on Shungite [00:53:38] Edible massage oil [00:55:17] Conflicting information about C60 [00:58:04] Gummy creation process [01:01:18] C60 and skin protection     Links Mentioned  Website: https://shopc60.com/   For more information, resources and videos visit TechWellness.com      Memorable Quotes "And they basically gave one set of rats C60.

So, we've looked at schools in the past and there has been 5G towers right across the street from the school. And that was a big no, even no matter how much we loved the school. My kid was not going to be there for 30 plus hours a week next to a 5G tower." [00:08:44] – Alexis Fedor   "He made the decision to get rid of the app. He even went to his Nana and said, Nana, I want you to delete the app because it's not helping. It gives me bad dreams. I don't like the way it makes me feel.” [00:12:55] – Alexis Fedor   "The constant changing of the screen, the color, the music, it feels like you're on drugs. Even as an adult. I watched this stuff and I'm perplexed that kids could even sit in front of this and for hours and hours, and then you take 'em away and then they have meltdowns." [00:15:42] – Alexis Fedor
