The PEMF Podcast

What actually separates a good PEMF device from a bad one? We sat down with Ben Philipson, founder of Curatronic, to break down the key specifications that truly matter in PEMF from intensity and frequency to waveform, duty cycle, and coil design. Drawing on over two decades of experience, Ben explains how different settings influence penetration, energy delivery, and overall effectiveness, while also unpacking why the body adapts to single frequencies and how proper signal design can make or break a device. The conversation also cuts through some of the biggest myths in the PEMF industry, from misunderstandings around polarity and “NASA-backed” claims to confusion around infrared, implants, and device performance.

What if improving your bone density didn’t require hours in the gym, but just a few seconds of maximal force once a week? We sat down with Kyle Zagrodzky, founder of OsteoStrong, a global brand with over 200 locations designed to strengthen bones and the musculoskeletal system through what he calls “functional bone performance.” Built around the principles of Wolff’s Law, OsteoStrong uses specialized machines that allow people to safely generate extremely high levels of force without impact, triggering the biological processes responsible for bone growth.Kyle explains the science behind how bones respond to mechanical load, why most people misunderstand bone loss, and why building skeletal strength is one of the most overlooked pillars of longevity. The conversation also explores surprising research around balance, metabolic health, and athletic performance, along with how technologies like PEMF can complement bone-loading strategies by improving circulation and recovery. A fascinating look at how a few seconds of the right stimulus may influence bone density, strength, and long-term health.Monk Ice BathsUse code PEMFPOD for 10% off: https://discovermonk.com/StemregenUse code PEMFPOD for 20% off your next order: https://www.stemregen.co/discount/PEMFPODOsteoStrong:https://www.osteostrong.me/Shop PEMF: NewMed LTDhttps://www.newmedltd.co.uk/The PEMF Podcast Socials & Audio Podcast:https://linktr.ee/thepemfpodcast

Could PEMF therapy help support some of the biological systems often discussed in autism such as neuroinflammation, mitochondrial function, and nervous system regulation? We explore the science behind autism spectrum disorder and discuss where PEMF may fit as a supportive wellness tool for sleep, relaxation, sensory regulation, and stress resilience. Looking at emerging research, they break down studies examining neuroinflammation, mitochondrial energy production, oxidative stress, and autonomic nervous system balance, along with a pilot study using PEMF with children with ASD. The conversation also covers practical considerations including simple ways parents or caregivers can apply PEMF and track changes such as sleep quality, emotional regulation, sensory tolerance, and recovery from stress over time to specifications for PEMF and Autism (ASD - autism spectrum disorder).

Dr. Gaétan Chevalier, physicist and director of the Earthing Institute, researches grounding and its effects on blood flow, inflammation and autonomic regulation. He explains what grounding is, how electrons move through the body, safe methods and testing, and how grounding compares and can work together with PEMF therapy. Practical tips and common myths are also addressed.

James Carroll, a photobiomodulation pioneer with nearly 40 years building devices and clinical programs. He breaks down why irradiance, wavelength and proper dosing matter. Short takes cover why many masks, blankets and wands underdeliver, how near‑infrared penetrates deeper, measurement pitfalls, and practical session timing and safety.

Clear buying criteria for PEMF devices are broken down into intensity, waveform, slew rate, polarity, coil design, and frequency ranges. Red flags like dirty electricity, ferrite-rod coils, vague specs, and multi-therapy mats are called out. Practical factors such as battery power, warranties, lifestyle fit, and why used or cheap devices often disappoint are also covered.

Animals love PEMF and they can’t fake or placebo their way through a session, which means the results speak for themselves. We were joined by Alane Paulley, President and CEO of MagnaWave, to explore how PEMF is used in horses, livestock, and high-performance animal settings and why the results are often impossible to ignore. From elite equine care at racetracks to the fast-growing dairy and show-stock industries, Alane explains how observing movement, posture, and physical responses becomes a powerful form of feedback when working with animals.We also dive into the realities of building a PEMF business, from education and certification to expectation setting, pricing models, and why consistency matters more than intensity. Alane shares insights on high-intensity PEMF, FDA clearance, working alongside vets rather than competing with them, and why PEMF practitioners need confidence as much as equipment. A fascinating look at PEMF beyond the human space and what it really takes to build a sustainable, credible PEMF practice.Magnawave & Magna-Con:https://magnawavepemf.com/The Energy Exchange - Alane's Podcast:https://www.youtube.com/@TheEnergyExchangePodFollow Alane on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/alanepaulley/

What role can Reiki play in cancer care? We are joined by Shilpa Kudekar where she broke down how Reiki is used as a supportive therapy alongside conventional oncology care, helping patients manage anxiety, stress, pain, nausea, and the emotional toll that often comes with diagnosis and treatment. She pulled from her 20+ years’ experience as a Reiki Master and her decade working at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi where she started giving Reiki to cancer patients.Shilpa shares what Reiki actually is (and what it isn’t), how sessions are delivered in a clinical environment, and why nervous system regulation and deep relaxation are so important during cancer treatment. They discuss the growing body of research around Reiki, Shilpa’s own IRB-approved study within a hospital setting, how she navigates scepticism with evidence and compassion, and why Reiki is never positioned as a replacement for medical care.

From reduced inflammation to increased oxygenation, what PEMF therapy does to the blood is genuinely mind-blowing. In this episode, we break down some of the most striking changes seen under the microscope after PEMF sessions from red blood cells separating and moving more freely, to increases in white blood cell activity, oxygenation, and visibly reduced inflammatory markers. Using both live and dry blood analysis, we show exactly what’s happening in the blood before and after PEMF. We also dive into the science behind what you’re seeing, exploring how PEMF influences inflammatory pathways, nitric oxide driven vasodilation, new blood vessel formation, and immune cell production and movement.

Resona Vibe isn’t just another PEMF device, it’s the world’s first truly pocket-sized system, designed to make PEMF accessible, wearable, and part of everyday life. Creator Mark L Fox, aerospace engineer turned PEMF innovator, joins us to explore how the Resona Vibe came to life and why portability, usability, and real-world application were non-negotiable from day one. Mark shares how a sceptical experiment to help his arthritic dog over 25 years ago completely changed his view on PEMF, and why seeing its impact drove him to rethink how this technology should be delivered.We go into the engineering realities behind PEMF from waveforms, intensities, frequencies to battery life, heat management, and why “stronger” isn’t always better. Mark explains his approach to protocols, vagus nerve support, sleep and stress regulation, and why most positive PEMF research sits in the low-to-medium intensity range. The conversation also looks ahead to the future of PEMF, from smartphone integration to smart home tech, offering a rare behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to build PEMF devices that fit into real life.Shop Resona Health:https://resona.health?ap_id=PEMFPODShop PEMF: NewMed LTDhttps://www.newmedltd.co.uk/The PEMF Podcast Socials & Audio Podcast:https://linktr.ee/thepemfpodcast
