Summary

Do you use a wearable like a FitBit or Jawbone? How about a bluetooth headset? A bluetooth enabled appliance? A car that has bluetooth technology? Some other bluetooth-enabled self quantification device?

Then this episode is for you, because it's important to know exactly how bluetooth technology is affecting your sleep, your circadian rhythms, your health, your gut barrier, your blood-brain barrier and your performance.

In Part 1 of this episode, I talk to Christian Johan Smith, who is founder at Phone Halo, which creates technology that helps you track devices that you might lose. In this discussion Christian and I talk frankly about what he knows as the CEO of a company that relies on Bluetooth technology, and what I know from my research in the health space. Resources Christian and I discuss during Part 1 of this episode: -Trackr app for iOs/iPhone -Trackr bluetooth tracking apps on Amazon -The research study that Ben cites relating bluetooth to the blood-brain barrier -Good synopsis of health effects of EMF -Bluetooth airtube headset -The anti-radiation Pong case for iPhone

In Part 2, I talk with Dr. Jack Kruse, a respected neurosurgeon and CEO of Optimized Life, a health and wellness company dedicated to helping patients avoid the healthcare burdens we typically encounter as we age. He is currently in private practice in the Gulf South and his research has been published in respected dental and medical journals. Jack's previous episodes at BenGreenfieldFitness.com include "Jack Kruse Tells You How To Live Like A Polar Bear And Eat Like A Great White Shark", "How You Can Use Cold Thermogenesis To Perform Like Lance Armstrong And Michael Phelps", and his "How To Beat Jet Lag Naturally". Resources Dr. Kruse and I discuss during Part 2 of this episode: -The "Google Glasses cause headaches" CNet article -"Bluetooth Radiation May Be More Harmful Than Cell Phone Radiation" article -Pulsed microwave induced light, sound, and electrical discharge enhanced by a biopolymer study -EMF and fertility study -Proposed exposure levels of pulse-modulated electromagnetic fields study -Microwave pulses health effect paper -Blood brain permeability in rats from EMF paper -EMF and cars article -Radiofrequency, radiation and cancer paper from cancer.org -Cross Currents: Perils of Electropollution book by Robert O Becker -Electromagnetism and Life book by Andrew Marino
