The Invisible Forces We're Constantly Exposed To

Hey Earth 2.0 community! Excited to be here.

I'm R Blank, founder of Shield Your Body (SYB). We're proud to be sponsoring Earth 2.0 events for the next few months, and I wanted to introduce myself.

My path into this work started with my father, Dr. Martin Blank. He was a Columbia University researcher who spent decades studying the biological effects of electromagnetic radiation. We co-authored a book together (Overpowered), and that experience changed the trajectory of my life. I founded SYB to make his science actionable — giving people simple, real ways to reduce their EMF exposure. I've since written my own book, Empowered, as a practical guide to protecting yourself from EMF.

Today, SYB offers the world's largest collection of laboratory-tested, science-backed EMF protection products — from phone cases to laptop pads to bed canopies.

What draws me to this community is the shared belief that we have agency over our health and our environment. EMF is invisible, so it's easy to ignore. But for anyone on a healing journey, reducing your exposure is one of the most impactful (and overlooked) things you can do.

Happy to answer any questions about EMF, health, or what we do at SYB.

Looking forward to connecting with all of you.
