The PEMF Podcast

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 regulation

We 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Bone healing is one of the earliest and most established uses of PEMF therapy, with research going back to non-union fractures and the development of modern pulsed electromagnetic field technology. In this episode, we break down how PEMF may support bone formation, bone repair and bone density by influencing osteoblasts, osteoclasts, stem cells, blood flow, angiogenesis and the natural process of bone remodelling.

We also explore how PEMF has been studied for fracture healing, osteoporosis, osteopenia, menopause-related bone loss, post-surgical recovery and spinal fusion, as well as what to look for in a PEMF device for bone health. This includes intensity, frequency, full-body vs localised application, session length, consistency and why you don’t always need extremely high intensity for PEMF to reach bone tissue.

After more than 10 years selling PEMF devices, Andy Smith has seen the good, the bad and the seriously misleading side of the industry. In this episode, we sit down with Andy to unpack what he has learned from building NewMed, speaking to thousands of customers, testing different PEMF technologies and eventually creating CELLER8.

They discuss Andy’s own health journey and how PEMF first changed his life, why he started importing devices into the UK, what most people misunderstand when buying a PEMF system, and why specs like intensity, coils, waveform, slew rate, application and usability matter more than most brands explain. Andy also shares his honest thoughts on low-quality multi-therapy mats, the difference between home and professional PEMF devices, why consistency matters, and the future vision for CELLER8, The PEMF Podcast website and Hop House Wellness.

Most people optimise their sleep, supplements, and recovery, but forget the one thing that is with them 24/7: their thoughts. We speak with Lea Llovio about how mindset, emotional wellbeing and internal programming may influence energy, stress, physical health and the healing process.

We explore why judgement, resentment, unresolved trauma and negative thought patterns can become interference, how thoughts may affect chemistry in the body, and why physical optimisation alone may not be enough if your mindset is constantly working against you. Lea also shares her approach to conscious wellness, the balance between scientific and spiritual medicine, and simple daily practices such as gratitude, intention-setting and becoming more aware of your thoughts to support a healthier life.

ADHD, autism, anxiety and OCD are often spoken about as behaviour problems, but what if the nervous system is the real place to start? Dr Roseann Capanna-Hodge, a leading expert in nervous system regulation with over 30 years of experience, joins us to explore why so many children today are stuck in fight or flight and how PEMF therapy may help support a calmer, more regulated state. We discuss why behaviour is often a symptom rather than the root problem, how chronic stress, neuroinflammation and nervous system dysregulation may link conditions such as ADHD, autism, anxiety and OCD, and why regulation needs to come before learning, connection and behaviour change. Dr Roseann also shares what she has seen through thousands of QEEG brain maps, how PEMF has been used in her clinic for over a decade, what parents often notice after sessions, and why her new book The Dysregulated Kid is focused on making nervous system regulation a daily habit for families.
