What do EMFs and EMRs have to do with ADHD? Find out in this Soaring Child podcast interview.
Dana Kay sits down with Beverly Jensen, Ph.D., to unpack the hidden impact of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) from everyday devices like phones, Wi-Fi, tablets, and baby monitors. Beverly shares how this constant, invisible exposure may be affecting children’s developing brains, nervous systems, sleep, and behavior, often without parents realizing it.
Together, they explore the science behind EMFs (electromagnetic fields), including emerging research showing potential effects on neurodevelopment, even at levels far below current safety standards. Beverly also explains why children are more vulnerable, how modern homes have become “hotbeds” of exposure, and why this conversation isn’t more widely discussed.
Most importantly, this episode gives parents practical, doable steps they can start today. From simple changes like turning off Wi-Fi at night to creating device-free spaces in your home, you’ll walk away feeling empowered, not overwhelmed.

MEMORABLE MOMENTS
“There’s something affecting your child’s brain that you can’t see…”
“It is a pollutant that we can’t see…”
“If a device sends radio signals… it’s dangerous.”
“We are all electrical beings.”
“It affects the nervous system… the brain and the heart.”
“It interfered with the neurodevelopment…”
“Bluetooth is seven times the amount of radiation as Wi-Fi.”
“The industry calls it the ‘shut up toy.’”
“The router is usually the most consistently… emitter.”
Dive into a unique podcast experience where we explore innovative and natural strategies to support children with ADHD.
The Soaring Child Podcast hosted by Dana Kay, offers you a chance to listen in on conversations that could change the way you think about ADHD management.
As a mother of a child with ADHD, she knows firsthand the struggles that come with parenting a neurodiverse child & the freedom that is possible once parents learn to reduce ADHD symptoms. Dana has been featured in Forbes, on Fox & CBS, & various other online media. She has also been a guest at multiple parenting & ADHD summits & podcasts.
Her goal with the Soaring Child is to give hope & answers to parents of children with ADHD who are looking for alternative (natural) and effective means of helping them learn to thrive at home, at school, and in life.
Because children with ADHD deserve to soar, just like every other child.
