Could the electromagnetic fields (EMFs) in your environment be affecting your bone health? In this episode, I'm joined by Valerie Burke, also known as the "Shungite Queen," to explore the potential impact of EMFs on bone health and how shungite, a rare carbon-based rock from Russia, may help mitigate those effects. We discuss the science, history, and properties of shungite, including its molecular structure with fullerenes and its unique interaction with electromagnetic fields. Valerie explains the ways EMFs may adversely affect bone health, including voltage-gated calcium channels, bone marrow interference, thyroid disruption, and decreased melatonin production. She also walks us through different grades of shungite, how to recognize authentic pieces, and practical tips for using it in daily life, whether as jewelry, desktop pieces, or even infused in water. I also share my own curiosity and personal experiences with keeping shungite near my workspace to create a more grounding and protective environment. This conversation will help you make informed choices about EMF exposure while exploring innovative ways to support bone health, wellness, and stress reduction. "Shungite water is another way you can use shungite for your health, for just the fullerenes, the carbon 60, and the detox properties. Elite Shungite sort of energizes the water in a way that nothing else can." ~ Valerie Burke, MSN In this episode: - [02:55] - What is shungite?
