The PEMF Podcast

David tests PEMF devices for a living. As the founder of an independent PEMF testing and certification lab, he measures what PEMF mats and devices actually produce, from Gauss and field coverage to coil design, slew rate, frequency and magnetic flux. In this episode, David explains what really makes a good PEMF device, why a higher Gauss number does not automatically mean better performance, and which specifications buyers should actually pay attention to. We compare different PEMF mats and coil designs, look at why a single peak Gauss measurement can be misleading, and break down how two devices advertising similar specifications can perform very differently. David also explains how Gauss Labs tests and certifies PEMF systems, what can cause a device to fail, why some mats may simply reproduce mains frequency, and how independent testing could help consumers separate genuine PEMF performance from marketing claims.InhaleH2: Use Our Link For an Exclusive Discount: https://inhaleh2.com/pemfpodGauss Labs: https://gausslabs.tech/The PEMF Podcast Website: https://thepemfpodcast.com/Join Our Weekly PEMF Newsletter: https://thepemfpodcast.com/pages/pemf-newsletterShop PEMF Devices: https://thepemfpodcast.com/collections/all-pemf-devicesMulti Therapy Mats Review: https://thepemfpodcast.com/pages/should-you-buy-infrared-multi-therapy-pemf-matsCELLER8 - Use code PEMFPOD for a discountUS & Canada: https://celler8.us/PEMFPODWorldwide: https://celler8.com/PEMFPODAUS: https://celler8.com.au/PEMFPOD

Fibromyalgia can mean widespread pain, poor sleep, fatigue and the feeling that your body never fully recovers, so what does the research actually say about PEMF therapy? We break down the studies looking at PEMF for fibromyalgia, including pain intensity, widespread pain, pressure sensitivity, sleep quality, fatigue and daily function, while also looking at where the evidence is still limited.We also make it practical, covering how to use PEMF for fibromyalgia, whether full-body or localised application makes more sense, what intensity range to start with, how frequency should change throughout the day, and why consistency matters more than chasing a “magic” setting.InhaleH2: Use Our Link For Exclusive Discount: https://inhaleh2.com/pemfpodPEMF & Fibromyalgia Page: https://thepemfpodcast.com/pages/pemf-and-fibromyalgiaThe PEMF Podcast Website: https://thepemfpodcast.com/Join Our Weekly PEMF Newsletter: https://thepemfpodcast.com/pages/pemf-newsletterShop PEMF Devices: https://thepemfpodcast.com/collections/all-pemf-devicesReferences: Fibromyalgia - pain, fatigue and quality of life: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19920724/ Fibromyalgia - targeted PEMF pilot study: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9524818/ Fibromyalgia - pain sensitivity, sleep and daily activities: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3917800/ Fibromyalgia - 0.5 Gauss trial : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29709070/ Inflammation - laboratory research on adenosine receptors: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0065561 Sleep - 2023 sham-controlled insomnia trial: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37357671/ Sleep and anxiety - 2025 neck-applied PEMF study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39972609/ Headaches - refractory migraine: https://www.ijclinicaltrials.com/index.php/ijct/article/view/99 Jaw pain - temporomandibular disorders: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33992268/ Mood - positive transcranial PEMF depression trial: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20385376/ Mood - later transcranial PEMF trial without an advantage over sham: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0165032721007667?via%3Dihub

Could PEMF help enhance the way blood filtering treatments are delivered? Apheresis is increasingly appearing in conversations around chronic illness, longevity and blood health, and Markus Klotz, explains how therapeutic apheresis works, what is actually being removed from the blood, and why his clinic began using PEMF to support blood flow, microcirculation and easier vein access during treatment. Markus also shares what his team has observed across a few hundred treatments using full-body and localised PEMF, why he was initially highly sceptical, how infrared is sometimes combined with it, and why he believes PEMF could eventually become a useful addition to apheresis treatment chairs.InhaleH2: Use Our Link For Exclusive Discount: https://inhaleh2.com/pemfpodElysium Institute in Zurich: https://elysiuminstitut.com/Apheresis Center in Cyprus: https://apheresiscenter.eu/The PEMF Podcast Website: https://thepemfpodcast.com/Join Our Weekly PEMF Newsletter: https://thepemfpodcast.com/pages/pemf-newsletterShop PEMF Devices: https://thepemfpodcast.com/collections/all-pemf-devicesCELLER8 PEMF: Use Code PEMFPOD for 5% OffUS: https://celler8.us/PEMFPODWorldwide: https://celler8.com/PEMFPODAUS: https://celler8.com.au/PEMFPOD

After being diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme IDH1 wild type, one of the most aggressive forms of brain cancer, and given just three months to live, Dave Bolton is still here 11 years later. He represents just 0.000015732% of the global population. Dave underwent surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy but this conversation is about what he did beyond treatment. From mindset, hydration and nutrition to exercise and supplementation, Dave shares the changes he made after his diagnosis and why he believes there was never one single “magic bullet” behind his journey.InhaleH2: Use Our Link For Exclusive Discount: https://inhaleh2.com/pemfpodAhead Of The Game Foundation: https://aheadofthegamefoundation.com/Dave Bolton Defiance: https://www.davebolton.co.uk/The PEMF Podcast Website: https://thepemfpodcast.com/Join Our Weekly PEMF Newsletter: https://thepemfpodcast.com/pages/pemf-newsletterShop PEMF Devices: https://thepemfpodcast.com/collections/all-pemf-devicesDave's PEMF Device: Use Code PEMFPOD for 5% OffUS: https://celler8.us/PEMFPODWorldwide: https://celler8.com/PEMFPOD

Struggling to fall asleep, waking during the night or feeling like you never properly rested? PEMF therapy is increasingly being studied for sleep and insomnia, with human trials looking at everything from sleep quality and night time waking to brainwave activity, anxiety and nervous-system regulationWe break down what the research actually shows about PEMF and sleep, including controlled insomnia studies, changes in delta and theta brainwave activity, the possible role of the autonomic nervous system, and how pain or discomfort may also interfere with sleep. We then make it practical: when to use PEMF, whether you need to sleep on a mat, where to place a localised applicator, and what frequency, intensity and session duration may be most appropriate before bed and at bed time.InhaleH2: Use Our Link For Exclusive Discount - https://inhaleh2.com/pemfpodThe PEMF Podcast Website: https://thepemfpodcast.com/Join Our Weekly PEMF Newsletter: https://thepemfpodcast.com/pages/pemf-newsletterShop PEMF Devices: https://thepemfpodcast.com/collections/all-pemf-devicesPEMF For Sleep: https://thepemfpodcast.com/pages/pemf-and-sleepPEMF For Inflammation: https://thepemfpodcast.com/pages/pemf-inflammationPEMF For Pain: https://thepemfpodcast.com/pages/pemf-and-painStudies & References:2001 PEMF Insomnia Study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11697020/2023 PEMF Insomnia Trial: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10307909/PEMF & Brainwave Relaxation: https://www.scirp.org/journal/paperinformation?paperid=95075PEMF, Vagus Nerve & Sleep: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39972609/PEMF, Knee Pain & Inflammation: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26705327/

Biohacking can quickly become a full-time job: supplements, wearables, blood tests, cold exposure, red light, PEMF and the constant pressure to optimise everything. Dr Mark Atkinson explains why better health often starts with doing less, getting the fundamentals right and learning how to identify what actually works for you, rather than copying somebody else’s routine.Mark, a medical doctor who worked alongside Dave Asprey as medical director of Bulletproof, breaks down how to start biohacking, the foundations of health optimisation, Biohacking 2.0 vs 3.0, nervous system regulation, sleep, emotional health, wearables, blood testing, supplements and health technology. We also explore how to tell whether a biohack is genuinely helping, when to introduce something new, why consistency matters, and the warning signs that trying to perfect your health has started creating more stress than benefit.Episode Sponsors:Neuronic: Use code PEMFPOD For Exclusive Discount - https://neuronic.sjv.io/aNGQbYInhaleH2: Use Our Link For Exclusive Discount - https://inhaleh2.com/pemfpodDr Mark Atkinson Website - https://drmarkatkinson.com/Dr Mark Atkinson LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/drmarkatkinson/The PEMF Podcast Website - https://thepemfpodcast.com/Join Our Weekly PEMF Newsletter - https://thepemfpodcast.com/pages/pemf-newsletterShop PEMF Devices - https://thepemfpodcast.com/collections/all-pemf-devicesDr Mark Atkinson joins the CELLER8 Scientific & Medical Board - https://celler8.com/PEMFPOD?redirect=/pages/scientific-advisory-board

Hydrogen water and hydrogen inhalation are everywhere, but a lot of what people are told about molecular hydrogen is misunderstood. Tyler LeBaron, founder of the Molecular Hydrogen Institute, breaks down what molecular hydrogen actually is, why hydrogen water is completely different from alkaline water, how hydrogen interacts with the mitochondria and redox system, and why it isn’t simply another antioxidant.From hydrogen water and tablets to hydrogen inhalation and bathing, we explore how the different delivery methods work, what happens to hydrogen inside the body, and why dose and concentration matter. Tyler also explains hydrogen inhalation safety, the risks of concentrations above the flammability threshold, what to look for when choosing hydrogen products, and why molecular hydrogen may pair particularly well with therapies such as PEMF, red light therapy and exercise recovery.The Molecular Hydrogen Institute: https://molecularhydrogeninstitute.org/Tyler's Hydrogen Inhalation Device InhaleH2: Use our link for $250 off: https://inhaleh2.com/pemfpodFollow Tyler on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tylerwlebaron/The Hydrogen Water Bottle Andy Uses: https://echowater.com/flask/?_ef_transaction_id=&utm_source=everflow&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=&utm_content=39&oid=39&affid=2608How to Stack PEMF & Molecular Hydrogen: https://thepemfpodcast.com/pages/combining-pemf-and-hydrogen-therapyThe PEMF Podcast Website: https://thepemfpodcast.com/Join Our Weekly PEMF Newsletter: https://thepemfpodcast.com/pages/pemf-newsletterShop PEMF Devices: https://thepemfpodcast.com/collections/all-pemf-devices

Blood flow is one of the most important parts of healing, recovery and overall health, but can PEMF therapy actually influence circulation? This episode breaks down how pulsed electromagnetic field therapy may affect blood vessels, nitric oxide, vasodilation, microcirculation, tissue oxygenation and the delivery of oxygen and nutrients around the body.We look at what the research shows on PEMF and blood flow, including studies on metabolic syndrome, high blood pressure, diabetic foot ulcers, microcirculation and the formation of new blood vessels through angiogenesis. We also explain why PEMF does not simply force more blood around the body, how it may act more like a regulator, why low to medium intensity PEMF may be enough for circulation, and how full-body PEMF can support both general circulation and localised injury recovery.Episode 79 on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7pYKVYsRA2yNvTHXc5t3V8?si=86VGksaBT_uPxsJvLPdmngPEMF for Blood Flow & Circulation Website Page: https://thepemfpodcast.com/pages/pemf-and-blood-flow-and-circulationThe PEMF Podcast Website: https://thepemfpodcast.com/Join Our Weekly PEMF Newsletter: https://thepemfpodcast.com/pages/pemf-newsletterShop PEMF Devices: https://thepemfpodcast.com/collections/all-pemf-devicesReferences: Nitric Oxide and Vasodilation Studies:Calcium/Calmodulin and Nitric Oxide Signalling: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22005645/Nitric Oxide, Vasodilation and Microvascular Blood Flow: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25343187/ PEMF, Nitric Oxide and Blood Pressure in Metabolic Syndrome: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31394939/ Vascular Function in People with Hypertension: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8030044/ Review Of Magnetic Fields and Vascular Tone: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17004242/ Microcirculation Studies:Healing And Microcirculation of Chronic Diabetic Foot Ulcers: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25882659/Blood Circulation in People with Diabetes: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27227568/Leg Microcirculation: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33216020/Angiogenesis Studies:Diabetic Rats with Reduced Hind-Limb Circulation: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22952041/ Capillary Formation and Vascular Repair Following Heart Injury: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24936220/ Human Umbilical-Vein Endothelial Cells: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24936220/ Oxygen and Nutrient Delivery Studies:Microvascular Blood Flow and Tissue Oxygenation in Rats: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25343187/ Local PEMF and Muscle Oxygen Use During Cycling: https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3417/11/8/3624

You can be tired, cold, anxious, gaining weight, losing hair or struggling with brain fog and still be told your thyroid is “normal.” Dr Izabella Wentz, also known as The Thyroid Pharmacist, explains the hidden thyroid symptoms many people miss and why thyroid dysfunction is so often linked to gut health, gluten, stress, toxins, nutrient deficiencies and autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s.This conversation explores underactive vs overactive thyroid symptoms, thyroid antibodies, why women are more likely to experience thyroid problems, the connection between leaky gut and autoimmune thyroid disease, and why gluten, dairy, soy, iodine, selenium, vitamin D and chronic inflammation all come up in the thyroid conversation. Dr Wentz also shares what testing people should consider, why postpartum thyroid issues are often missed, and how getting to the root cause may help people better support their thyroid health.Dr Izabella Wentz's Website: https://thyroidpharmacist.com/The PEMF Podcast Website: https://thepemfpodcast.com/Join Our Weekly PEMF Newsletter: https://thepemfpodcast.com/pages/pemf-newsletterShop PEMF Devices: https://thepemfpodcast.com/collections/all-pemf-devices

High-intensity PEMF is the version most people can actually feel tingling, muscle contractions, hotspots and sometimes a noticeable shift in pain or range of motion. But what actually makes high-intensity PEMF different from low-intensity PEMF, and why is it being used across clinics, elite sport, wellness centres and home recovery?We speak with Scott Baider, CEO of Pulse PEMF, about how high-intensity PEMF may support pain relief, recovery, ATP production, cellular energy, circulation, performance and full-body wellness. Scott explains why many people first discover PEMF through pain, how Pulse PEMF is used across professional and home settings, and what to know about frequency, brain applications, metal implants, using PEMF on the head, full-body vs localised application, and stacking PEMF with red light therapy, hyperbaric oxygen and breathwork.Pulse PEMF Devices: https://thepemfpodcast.com/collections/pulse-pemfThe PEMF Podcast Website: https://thepemfpodcast.com/Join Our Weekly PEMF Newsletter: https://thepemfpodcast.com/pages/pemf-newsletterShop PEMF Devices: https://thepemfpodcast.com/collections/all-pemf-devices
