Listener Q&A: Should You Get Rid Of Your Smart Meter?...45:12Barbara asks: My apartment building, which is possibly near a fault line, has recently installed smart meters. These smart meters have really affected my quality of sleep and I've begun having muscle spasms since they were installed. There are gas meters in each apartment and a bank of electric meters in the basement. I am considering the Acoustimeter and/or PF-5 to check for dirty electricity in my apartment, and would like to know your thoughts. In my response, I recommend:

Logan asks: I want to know your thoughts on supplementing with beef organs vs. a traditional multi-vitamin, and what gaps I might need to be aware of in my nutrition.

Tim asks: I've been struggling with sleep issues for many years and have tried many things. At the moment, I'm looking at two devices: The Chilipad, which cools the body, and Ebb Sleep which cools the brain, particularly the pre-frontal cortex. I'm curious if you have an opinion on the efficacy of one over the other. In my response, I recommend:
- The Chilipad/Ooler system (use codes BEN25 for the Chili/ BEN15 for the Ooler)
- Ebb sleep
- Sleeping with socks trick to enhance sleep
