277. The Hidden Impact of Technology on Recovery, Sleep, and Performance with Alex Kikel

You can nail your training, nutrition, supplements, and sleep routine and still overlook one variable that surrounds you all day: your technological environment. Phones, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, wearables, cars, and constant connectivity may be adding another layer of physiological stress at the exact time you are trying to recover, perform, and switch your nervous system off. In this episode, Alex Kikel and I break down how EMFs interact with the body, why professional athletes are beginning to pay attention, and where exposure may be affecting recovery and performance. More importantly, we look at what you can realistically control, what may be overkill, and how to improve your environment without turning optimization into another source of stress. What's Discussed: (02:29) Why pro athletes are paying attention to EMFs. (04:21) Coherent vs. non-coherent EMFs. (15:26) EMFs, recovery, and fat loss. (39:23) EMF exposure inside modern cars. (50:53) Keeping your phone against your body. (52:31) Phones, EMFs, and your sleep environment. (58:17) When wearables create more stress. (1:11:49) When biohacking becomes counterproductive. (1:22:07) EMF habits: overrated or underrated.   If you train hard, care about recovery, and want to see the tools, supplements, and products I personally recommend, head to krisgethin.com/pages/recommendations To receive my free book, A Guide to Biohacking, leave an honest review on the platform where you listen to the podcast, then email a screenshot to [email protected]   Thank You to Our Sponsors!
