Have you ever wondered how invisible forces in your environmentâlike Wi-Fi, wearables, and even electric carsâcould be silently impacting your health? In this eye-opening episode of The Visibly Fit Podcast, I talk with Justin Frandson, an athletic performance coach and electromagnetic fields (EMFs) expert, about the unseen dangers of electromagnetic radiation and its impact on our bodies.
Learn how to detox your home environment, why wearables might be draining your energy, and how EMF Rocks' Grounding Bags infused with unique colloid crystals can shield you from harmful frequencies. Discover practical ways to harness natureâs resources for optimal health and well-being.
If youâve ever felt fatigued, unbalanced, or just plain curious about the invisible forces around you, this episode will inspire and equip you with the knowledge to take action. Tune in and discover how aligning with Godâs creation can transform your health and vitality.
Disclaimer:
As a Bible-believing Christian, I believe that all creation is a gift from God, designed for our well-being and His glory. In this episode, we discuss the natural properties of crystals and other elements in creation. This conversation focuses solely on their scientific and physical properties as part of Godâs design, not on any mystical or spiritual powers.
I want to clarify that our faith is in God aloneânot in creation or any object. My goal is to explore how we can use the resources God has provided wisely and responsibly for our health while keeping our focus on Him as the ultimate healer and provider. If this topic raises questions for you, I encourage you to prayerfully seek Godâs wisdom and discernment as you listen.

ï»żDr. Torkil FĂŠrĂž is a general practitioner, emergency doctor, documentary filmmaker, author, photographer, and globetrotter. As a medical student, he was the first to go abroad for Norwegian Doctors Without Borders when he worked in war-torn Angola in 1996. Through 25 years as a freelance doctor, he has worked in municipalities nationwide, had tens of thousands of consultations, and gained a unique picture of the diseases that plague us. He has learned that the cause is most often found in a lifestyle that stresses our body. He wanted to do something about that.
ï»żDr. Torkil is concerned with how we can get the most out of life. In the book "The Pulse Cure", he explains step by step how we can use the heart rate monitor or the smartphone to get to know our own body better and gain better control of the stress balance and the autonomic nervous system.
Dr. Torkil himself has been given a new life by making several smart lifestyle changes. He hopes that everyone who wants better health and more energy to live life to the fullest will benefit from the measures he enjoys so much. He also has a big wish for the healthcare system: That it works preventively to a much greater extent and provides help for self-help than is the case today.
ï»żDr. Torkil FĂŠrĂž is also an award-winning photographer who has published photography art books, held exhibitions, and held photography workshops in many countries. He is an enthusiastic long-distance walker and has made the NRK films about pilgrimages to Nidaros and Santiago de Compostela.
In his previous book, "THE CAMERA CURE", he combined medical and photographic knowledge into a unique book about therapeutic photography, where coping with life is combined with taking good pictures. Dr. Torkil FĂŠrĂž has traveled by backpack, bicycle, motorbike, kayak,...
