My Story

Jeromy Johnson EMF Consultant and Advisor to the Building Biology Institute

My name is Jeromy Johnson. I am an engineer, author and EMF consultant. The purpose of this website is to help you quickly reduce the man-made EMF pollution in your life and to help people who have already had their health negatively affected by electromagnetic fields (EMF). I had to learn this the hard way and my hope is that you will learn from my experience.

In 2011, I was on top of the world. Healthy, happy and active with a successful career in Silicon Valley. As a civil engineer and as a manager at a large Silicon Valley firm, I was around multiple computers, Wi-Fi and cell phones nearly 24/7 for over a decade without feeling any ill effects. That all changed when I returned from summer vacation that year.

Within days of being back in my San Francisco home, I began to experience headaches, heart palpitations, tinnitus and insomnia. I had never experienced any of this before. Oddly, the symptoms diminished when I left home. After a week of this, I mentioned the situation to a friend at work. She said the exact same thing happened to her husband when a wireless “smart” meter was installed on their home.

I went home that evening and found that during the summer, the utility company had installed a bank of wireless “smart” meters directly below my bedroom.

Could this really be the source of my unusual symptoms? The wireless “smart” meters were the only thing that had changed at my home of five years.

Realizing the Harm of EMF Pollution

After some research, the truth became more clear. Thousands of people were experiencing the exact same thing once wireless “smart” meters were installed on their home. I also learned that biologists and medical doctors have said these symptoms are precisely what one should expect when humans are over-exposed to microwave radiation and electrical pollution (that which is emitted from Wi-Fi, cell phones, cell towers, wireless “smart” meters and improperly installed electrical wiring).

What exactly was going on? How could I not have been aware of this?

I asked our utility company immediately and repeatedly, but it took four months for PG&E to remove the “smart” meters (yes, that same PG&E from the film “Erin Brockovich”). During that time, my health continued to deteriorate, so I temporarily moved to a town without smart meters. However, the damage to my body had already been done.

After 10+ years of using wireless technology with no problems at all, I could now feel when I was near a cellular tower. I experienced a headache when attempting to use my smartphone. Soon after using Wi-Fi, I had a headache that would last all day. Even using a computer became painful. I began spending a lot of time in nature where my symptoms would subside within hours.

I had developed what medical doctors call electrical sensitivity or EMR Syndrome, a condition that currently affects 3-5% of the population. For decades, the military and other countries have called this condition “microwave sickness.” 15 years after the wireless smart meter exposure, I still experience symptoms from high levels of microwave radiation and electrical pollution. However, when I am in a healthy home and environment, I am in the best health of my life.

Becoming an EMF Consultant and Advisor to the Building Biology Institute

Being an engineer that is also electrically sensitive is a unique combo. It has forced me to find solutions that allow me to thrive in today’s world. Having wise electrical engineering mentors, an inquisitive mind and the physical necessity to deeply understand electromagnetic fields means that I have learned something new about EMFs nearly every day that past 15 years. I also enjoy sharing what I discover.

When I helped create the smart meter opt-out programs that now apply to most families in the United States, I had no intention of becoming an EMF consultant. However, because of this website and my public talks, people from around the world contacted me for assistance. The past decade I have consulted with over 4,000 families to build low-EMF homes and/or make their current living environments much healthier. My highly regarded book on Finding a Healthy Home has been read by thousands of people and I have multiple new guides on specific EMF topics. These resources share the best of what I have discovered through 15 years of personal experimentation.

Within the EMF profession I have become one of the most trusted EMF consultants. My focus has always been to competently serve sensitive individuals who are otherwise dismissed by the medical profession and a society that does not understand this issue. This has led me to be named to the Advisory Board of the Building Biology Institute. I also develop training materials for new students at the Building Biology Institute and have helped dozens of EMF consultants establish successful practices in their communities.

My Background

I have a bachelor’s and master’s degree in Civil & Environmental Engineering from the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology and worked in the Silicon Valley financial industry for nearly two decades before becoming an EMF consultant.

One focus of my studies was air pollution. Little did I know that I would be revisiting this topic later in life. Even though it is invisible to the naked eye, artificial electromagnetic pollution is one of the most potent and fastest growing toxins in our world. It may seem invisible to you now, but perceptions shift as humanity evolves. Within our lifetimes, the truth about EMFs will become evident.

Welcome to seeing the world in a completely new way. It may seem overwhelming at first. However, this will pass in time and you will be able to take the necessary actions. Once you do, your children and grandchildren will have a much safer and healthier world in which to live.

My Public Presentations

Here is my TEDx talk, which has nearly 1.7 million views and has been translated into ten languages. The talk summarizes the wireless issue succinctly and provides solutions that will help you navigate this complex and fascinating topic: 

The following is my presentation at the 2019 and 2021 EMF Conferences. It is a succinct summary of the most important EMF issues. It is a more in-depth presentation than my TEDx video above and is well suited for medical professionals and families that are experiencing health effects from electrical and wireless pollution.
