The Body Electric: Stimulation for Pain, Recovery, Fitness & Performance – Garrett Salpeter with Dave Asprey : 728

Aug 6, 2020

Garrett Salpeter, known as 'The Health Engineer,' is a health innovator and creator of the NeuFit electrical stimulation method. He discusses his groundbreaking techniques for neuromuscular re-education, pain relief, and enhancing physical performance. Salpeter explains how his direct current technology helps muscles lengthen and recover more effectively, reshaping rehabilitation. The conversation also delves into the brain-body connection, the benefits for conditions like multiple sclerosis, and how electrical stimulation is revolutionizing wellness and performance.

ANECDOTE

Dave Asprey's Pain Journey

Dave Asprey had chronic pain and injuries, including arthritis in his knees at 14.
He found relief from pain and faster injury recovery using electrical stimulation.

ANECDOTE

Toe Injury and NeuFit

Dave Asprey injured his toe, which affected his yoga practice for two years.
NeuFit helped improve his toe more than stem cell injections and other treatments.

INSIGHT

Body's Guarding Mechanism

The body guards injured areas, restricting blood flow and hindering healing.
NeuFit helps relax these areas, improving range of motion and promoting recovery.

In this episode of Bulletproof Radio, Garrett Salpeter, otherwise known as "The Health Engineer," joins me to talk about a special kind of electrical stimulation for the body. He put his engineering and neuroscience background to use to create an electrical stimulation method called NeuFit®. It’s based on neuromuscular re-education of the nervous system and specifically designed for injury rehabilitation, pain reduction, and improved body performance.

I actually demonstrate how the technology works during the show. I break a sweat using his Neubie® device – and even yelp a few times – but it’s all worth it.

(Note to Listeners: This episode was recorded at 40 Years of Zen before the coronavirus pandemic travel restrictions and shutdowns.)

This is a unique type of direct electrical current, Garrett says. “As opposed to traditional electrical stimulation, which is typically alternating current and causes muscles only to contract, this actually can allow us to preferentially reprogram muscles so that they lengthen, so they're more relaxed, more pliable and more resilient, and that allows us to move through greater ranges of motion. It opens up the pathways physically for the body to actually send the blood and raw materials and resources to help you heal, and it optimizes function in a way that just improves the overall recovery process.”

Science, research and functional neurology provide the backbone for NeuFit®. Garrett evolved his unique electrical stimulation protocols over the past decade and now helps athletes of all levels, as well as people recovering from spinal cord injury, stroke, and MS.

He and his team work directly with MLB, NHL, NBA, and NFL teams; major NCAA universities; hospital systems; physical therapy and chiropractic clinics; and fitness facilities.

Listen on to find out how to recover faster from injuries, reverse chronic pain, and experience big improvements in fitness and performance.
