The Science & Scams Within PEMF Therapy with Bryant Meyers

Best-selling author of PEMF The Fifth Element of Health, Bryant Meyers, joins us for a deep dive into PEMF therapy! We explore the origins of PEMF, starting with Dr. Robert Becker’s ground breaking frog and salamander experiments that led to PEMF’s first FDA approval for non-union bone fractures. We also discuss PEMF’s impact on ATP production, nitric oxide levels, and key cellular pathways that contribute to energy and healing. Bryant shares his expert insights on the quality of PEMF mats on the market today, including the issues with mass-produced "Alibaba mats". If you want to understand what truly makes a PEMF device effective (and what to avoid), this episode is a must-listen!   Bryant Meyers YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@bryantmeyers   Bryant Meyers Website: ⁠https://www.bryantmeyers.com/   The PEMF Podcast Website: https://thepemfpodcast.com/ Join Our Weekly PEMF Newsletter: https://thepemfpodcast.com/pages/pemf-newsletter Shop PEMF Devices: https://thepemfpodcast.com/collections/all-pemf-devices The PEMF Podcast Socials & Audio Podcast: ⁠https://linktr.ee/thepemfpodcast Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction & disclaimer 00:44 Introducing Bryant Meyers 02:21 How Bryant first discovered PEMF 06:28 The origins of PEMF & bone healing 07:04 Robert Becker, salamanders & electrical regeneration 10:38 How PEMF evolved from implanted electrodes 13:09 Can PEMF support tissue regeneration? 14:42 How PEMF may increase ATP production 17:14 PEMF, mitochondria & cellular energy 22:15 How PEMF influences nitric oxide 22:30 Nitric oxide, circulation & blood flow 27:01 The problem with multi-therapy PEMF mats 27:57 Why Bryant avoids crystal & gemstone PEMF mats 29:51 Dirty electricity & 50/60 Hz EMFs 35:34 Testing the red light in multi-therapy mats 36:12 Why cheap red light LEDs may not be therapeutic 37:23 Do negative ion PEMF mats actually produce negative ions? 38:30 Cheap heating elements, crystals & PEMF coils 40:30 Why cheap PEMF devices can be misleading 43:20 What is slew rate in PEMF? 45:08 Square wave vs sine wave PEMF 47:14 Why faster magnetic field changes matter 50:26 Why slew rate may matter more than Gauss 51:10 How is PEMF slew rate measured? 53:47 Why Bryant prefers square-wave PEMF 54:37 The inverse square law controversy in PEMF 56:32 Why PEMF coil size changes penetration 59:28 Why higher Gauss doesn’t automatically mean better PEMF 01:00:48 What PEMF intensity is best for home use? 01:01:46 What does the research say about PEMF intensity? 01:04:48 Can you test PEMF range at home? 01:09:21 Bryant Meyers’ PEMF: The Fifth Element of Health 01:09:51 Where to find Bryant Meyers 01:11:33 Final thoughts
