The PEMF Podcast

From Olympic gold to fixing a broken health system, this episode goes way beyond boxing. We sat down with Luke Campbell to unpack his journey from a rocky start in the ring to becoming one of Great Britain’s most successful amateur boxers, and now Mayor of Hull and East Yorkshire. We dive into the realities of elite sport, from underfunded recovery and training alone for much of his career, to the importance of building the right team and how modern tools like PEMF and red light therapy could have changed everything. The conversation then shifts into healthcare, where Luke shares his honest take on the NHS as a reactive system, not a proactive one, and why he’s focused on bringing community-driven, preventative health solutions back into his region. A powerful episode on performance, recovery, and why the future of health needs to move upstream.

PEMF and eye health isn’t something widely talked about, but the research is starting to get interesting. We explore what the science actually says, from lab studies on retinal cells through to clinical research in glaucoma, inflammation, and eye injury models. We break down how PEMF appears to influence key processes like circulation, inflammation, and cellular energy, and why its effects seem to be more regulatory than simply “increasing” activity. You’ll also hear practical takeaways on intensity, frequency, and application methods, alongside important nuances around dosing and safety when working near the head and eyes. A fascinating deep dive into an emerging area of PEMF that most people overlook.

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.

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).

Is grounding the same as PEMF therapy, or are they completely different? We sat down with Dr. Gaétan Chevalier, one of the world’s leading experts in earthing/grounding, to unpack the science behind reconnecting with the Earth. We explore what grounding actually is, whether “grounding” or “earthing” is the correct term, how long you need to be grounded for measurable effects, and how electrons from the Earth move through the body. Dr. Chevalier breaks down the key mechanisms researchers believe are involved, from improving blood flow and separating red blood cells to reducing inflammation, reducing pain, and helping regulate cortisol. We also discuss different grounding methods and products, best practices for using them, and the big question we get asked all the time: how grounding compares with PEMF therapy, where they differ, where they overlap, and whether they can be used together as part of a recovery or wellness protocol, while also clearing up common myths, including whether grounding protects against things like Wi-Fi and 5G.

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.
