Intro

Your brain is under constant assault from devices you use every day. This episode reveals the hidden effects of 5G on brain function, cognitive performance, and nervous system stress, along with the science-backed method that neutralizes the damage.

Host Dave Asprey sits down with Philipp Samor von Holtzendorff-Fehling, founder of Quantum Upgrade and a former VP at T-Mobile, to explore groundbreaking EEG research that shows how EMF exposure disrupts brainwaves in real time. Philipp shares how new tools are changing the way we approach biohacking, human performance, and energy medicine, and why even hardcore skeptics are paying attention.  

They break down double-blind studies, ATP production, and real-world EMF mitigation techniques that support brain health, mitochondrial resilience, and recovery. You’ll hear why professional athletes, clinicians, and even animals are benefiting from non-invasive approaches once dismissed as fringe, and how to evaluate what actually works in your own biology. 

This conversation is essential for anyone focused on biohacking, self-quantification, neurohacking, longevity, functional medicine, Upgrade Labs protocols, and protecting the brain in a wireless world. Whether you’re optimizing your nervous system, improving sleep, or just trying to stay sharp in a high-EMF environment, this episode gives you a toolset to reclaim your state. 

You’ll learn: 

• What EEG brain scans reveal after just 30 minutes of 5G exposure 

• Why ATP production increases in certain energetic fields 

• How energy fields influence brainwaves, stress, and performance 

• The connection between EMFs, mitochondrial function, and resilience 

• Why placebo doesn’t explain these results and what that means for self-tracking 

• How to use energetic tools alongside Danger Coffee, cold therapy, fasting, and nootropics
