Are red light masks, blankets and handheld wands actually doing anything? Or are most people underdosing without realising it? We sat down with James Carroll, a photobiomodulation (PBM) pioneer with nearly 40 years in the field, to separate real science from marketing hype. From irradiance and wavelength selection to dose-response curves and proper measurement standards, James explains why many popular consumer devices fail to deliver therapeutic levels of light despite impressive claims.

They dive into what photobiomodulation really means (and why it’s not just “red light therapy”), the three core biological mechanisms behind its effects, and why anti-inflammatory outcomes are the most consistently supported in the research. James also shares inside insights from testing popular devices, discusses why masks and blankets often miss the mark, and explains how proper dosing is more like cooking than simply multiplying power by time. A must-listen for anyone serious about red and near-infrared light therapy especially before buying your next device.

Buying a PEMF device in 2026? You need to hear this before spending a penny. In this comprehensive buyer’s guide, we break down the specifications that actually matter including intensity (Gauss), waveform, slew rate, polarity, frequency range, coil design, dirty electricity, and application types and explain why most marketing claims completely miss the point. From the “Goldilocks zone” of intensity and slew rate to why fast slew rates and proper copper coils are critical, this episode gives you the technical clarity most brands won’t.

They also expose the red flags like multi-therapy mats with poor PEMF performance, ferrite rod coils, dirty electricity from mains-powered systems, vague spec sheets, and the myth that “medical grade” or FDA-listed automatically means better. You’ll learn why lifestyle fit matters as much as raw specs, what warranties to look for, why used devices are rarely a bargain, and how to ask manufacturers the right questions before buying. If you’re serious about PEMF, this is your no-nonsense roadmap to choosing a device that actually works.

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.

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.

PEMF could play a far bigger role in cancer care than most people realise. Dr Henning, has been using PEMF for more than 25 years as a core pillar of patient treatment. Dr Saupe explains how PEMF supports microcirculation, reduces inflammation, improves cellular vitality and healing, and why he considers it one of the safest, most versatile tools in his cancer clinic. He also shares how medium-intensity and high-intensity PEMF are used differently, and why ongoing home use is essential for long-term resilience.

They dive into Arcadia’s multi-level approach, attacking the tumour while strengthening the body’s terrain, and how PEMF, hydrogen therapy, red light, nutrition and detoxification all work together to support patients in advanced stages of disease. Dr Saupe discusses real-world outcomes, why Germany allows greater medical freedom for integrative cancer care, and what he recommends every patient (and every healthy person) should be doing at home. A rare, deeply insightful conversation with one of the most respected clinicians in energy-based medicine.

What if calming your nervous system and changing brainwave states could change the way you experience tinnitus? In this episode, we go into the emerging research on how PEMF could support people living with intrusive ringing, buzzing, and high-pitch tones not by “treating tinnitus” directly, but by improving the deeper systems that influence how it’s perceived. They break down the studies showing shifts in delta, theta and alpha brainwaves, improvements in sleep and relaxation, and reductions in anxiety and tension after consistent PEMF use.The conversation focuses on the practical side: the best frequencies for nervous system regulation, why medium intensities work best for home use, how to combine a full-body mat with a local applicator for the jaw, neck or head, and why results typically build over weeks rather than days. Andy also shares real-world experiences, including how his mum’s 20-year tinnitus gradually faded after long-term PEMF use. A grounded, research-led look at why PEMF may help tinnitus feel less intrusive and easier to live with.Liverpool Tinnitus Association Study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8877185/EGG study: https://www.tinnitusjournal.com/articles/pulsed-magneticfield-therapy-a-new-conceptto-treat-tinnitus.pdf68 year old study:https://www.frontiersin.org/10.3389%2Fconf.fneur.2019.62.00023/event_abstract?
