Do you know what it feels like to be hypersensitive to electromagnetic fields (EMFs)? Until this year, I didn’t either—despite living with it for most of my life.
I’ve always been highly sensitive, but I didn’t realize it wasn’t just my intuition at play. While I didn’t have food allergies or intolerances, I’d always felt “off” around certain technologies and environments. It wasn’t until this year, when I was diagnosed with electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS), that I understood why.
So, what exactly does it mean to have EHS?
What Is Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS)?
Electromagnetic hypersensitivity means I am sensitive to electromagnetic radiation. This radiation comes from everyday technology—things like Wi-Fi, cell phones, computers, microwaves, electric cars, and more.
People with EHS can experience a wide range of symptoms, depending on the intensity and duration of exposure to EMFs. For me, it started with feeling drained and fatigued. My body was not dealing well with the electromagnetic fields around me.
But let me back up a little and share how I discovered this.
How I Discovered I Had EHS
It all started earlier this year, when I was dealing with a severely inflamed central nervous system. My brain and body weren’t communicating properly, and I felt completely exhausted, disoriented, and frustrated. I turns out I was dealing with the Epstein-barr virus (EBV). I sought help through Bioresonance therapy, a treatment that measures the body’s frequencies and helps recalibrate them when they’re out of balance. During my sessions, I learned that I was born hyper sensitive and something surprising: my nervous system is highly sensitive to EMFs.
The symptoms I had been experiencing—fatigue, brain fog, concentration issues, and disturbed sleep—were all linked to my heightened sensitivity to electromagnetic fields. I was living in a constant state of overload.
There are more symptoms linked to this sensitivity. You can read more about them in this article by The wave forward.
The Symptoms That Made It Clear: Brain Fog and Beyond
The one symptom that really opened my eyes was brain fog. Let me explain: Years ago, I worked at Schiphol Airport, a place flooded with EMFs from all the technology and equipment. During that time, I went through two burnouts, both accompanied by extreme brain fog. The first time, I couldn’t even describe what I was feeling. The second time, I finally had a name for it—it was brain fog.
However, the brain fog didn’t just go away with time—it lifted when I was away from the airport, a place where EMF exposure is constant. When I was recovering at home, the brain fog started to clear. That’s when I started noticing a pattern: high EMF environments (like airports) made my symptoms worse, while a break from EMFs helped me recover.
Fast forward to three years ago, when my neighborhood installed solar panels on every house. Two months after the panels went up, my brain fog came back. Why? Well, I sleep right next to the transformer for these solar panels. Suddenly, the dots started connecting.
Two Types of EMFs: Natural vs. Man-Made
Natural EMFs: These come from the earth, the sun, the moon, and other cosmic forces. Examples include the earth’s natural magnetic field and the frequency of sunlight. We’ve been living with these for millions of years.
Man-Made EMFs: These are created by technology and are all around us today. Things like Wi-Fi, cellphones, microwave ovens, electric cars, power lines, and induction cooking all produce EMFs.
I’ve realized I’m sensitive to both types of EMFs. For example, I’ve struggled with insomnia during full moons, eclipses, or new moons—patterns I never understood until now. It’s a frustrating reality, but with this newfound awareness, I’m learning to embrace it and work with my sensitivities rather than fight against them.
My Journey with EMF Sensitivity
For most of my life, I had no clue what was causing my health issues and energy struggles. I knew I didn’t feel right, but I couldn’t put a name to it. Now, with a deeper understanding of my EMF sensitivity, I’m finally able to make sense of everything.
I’m sharing this because I want to help others who might be feeling the same way but don’t understand why. If you’re dealing with brain fog, chronic fatigue, insomnia, or other symptoms that seem connected to EMFs, you’re not alone. This is a real issue, and it’s becoming more common as we’re exposed to technology 24/7. Read here where we stand on this in the Netherlands.
Finding Solutions: How I’ve Been Managing EHS
Managing electromagnetic hypersensitivity isn’t easy, but I’ve found solutions that make a real difference. One of the most impactful resources has been Aires Tech an American company that offers electromagnetic radiation protection technology. Their products have been life-changing for me.
I became an ambassador for Aires because I believe in their mission to raise awareness about the harmful effects of EMFs and provide practical solutions for those who are sensitive like me. Their research and technology have helped me manage my symptoms and reclaim my energy.
Why I’m Sharing My Story
Living with EHS hasn’t been easy. I’ve had countless health struggles, energy crashes, and moments of frustration. But now that I understand why this is happening to me, I’m empowered to manage my condition—and help others who are going through the same thing.
If you’re struggling with symptoms like I did, you don’t have to suffer in silence. There are solutions, and there is a community of people who understand what you’re going through. I hope my story can serve as a reminder that awareness is the first step toward healing.
Final Thoughts
Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is real, and it’s something more and more people are experiencing as we live in an increasingly tech-driven world. The first step is recognizing that it’s happening and understanding the impact of EMFs on our bodies. From there, we can take action—whether it’s through limiting exposure, grounding, or using protection technology.

🇳🇱 Nederlandse samenvatting:
In deze blog deel ik mijn persoonlijke ervaring met EHS—elektromagnetische overgevoeligheid. Jarenlang voelde ik me uitgeput en overprikkeld zonder duidelijke reden, totdat ik ontdekte dat mijn lichaam heftig reageert op straling. Ik vertel hoe ik dit heb herkend, hoe het mijn leven beïnvloedde, en hoe ik leerde omgaan met een wereld vol draadloze signalen. Een blog voor iedereen die zich afvraagt of hun zenuwstelsel méér oppikt dan normaal.
🇪🇸 Resumen en español:
En este artículo comparto mi experiencia personal con la hipersensibilidad electromagnética (EHS). Durante años viví con fatiga, confusión y sobreestimulación sin entender por qué, hasta que descubrí que mi cuerpo reaccionaba de forma intensa a las radiaciones invisibles. Aquí explico cómo lo identifiqué, cómo afectó mi vida y las herramientas que uso para protegerme. Este blog es para quienes sienten que su cuerpo está captando algo que otros no notan.
