Summary
PEMF practitioner Gary Woolums joins Stacey Chillemi to explain pulsed electromagnetic field therapy and how it works as a cellular charging system. Gary describes how every cell in the body operates like a battery with measurable voltage, and that chronic illness and injury are associated with low cellular voltage. PEMF devices use copper coils to generate electromagnetic fields that penetrate every cell in the body, recharging them and supporting the healing process. Gary shares his personal story of suffering 26 years of back pain after a severe sacrum fracture, spending over $50,000 on treatments before discovering PEMF therapy, which resolved his pain in less than two weeks. He discusses FDA-approved applications including bone fractures, depression, anxiety, and brain cancer, and explains the broader benefits including improved circulation, reduced inflammation, better sleep, and increased energy. The conversation covers practical usage protocols, including daily sessions of 15-20 minutes on a full-body mat with additional targeted applicators for specific problem areas.
Key Points
- PEMF stands for pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, a cellular charging system that recharges cells like batteries using copper coils that generate electromagnetic fields
- FDA approved in the US for brain cancer, non-union bone fractures, treatment-resistant depression and anxiety, incontinence, and one form of arthritis
- Cells have measurable voltage (60 times less than a AA battery) and any chronic illness or injury has an associated low voltage
- PEMF increases circulation, oxygenation, and ATP production while reducing inflammation and pain
- Gary resolved 26 years of chronic back pain in less than two weeks using PEMF after spending $50,000-$60,000 on other treatments
- Users report collateral benefits including dramatically improved deep sleep (doubles or triples on Oura ring), reduced brain fog, and increased energy
- Treatment involves lying on a full-body mat for 15-20 minutes with smaller applicators for targeted areas; cellular charge lasts about 6 hours
- Professional athletes including Roger Federer, Djokovic, and the US swimming team use PEMF for recovery and performance
Key Moments
PEMF as a cellular charging system
Gary explains that PEMF is fundamentally a cellular charging system, describing how cells work like batteries with measurable voltage and that any chronic illness or injury has an associated low voltage.
"incontinence and one form of arthritis. And you go, well, wow, that's lots of different things. Well, in essence, PEMF is a cellular charging system. So your cells are just like a battery. They have a voltage, it's measurable. They've known this since the 1920s. And in the essence, so this is a cellular charging system."
26 years of back pain resolved in two weeks
Gary shares his personal recovery story, describing how PEMF therapy resolved 26 years of chronic back pain from a sheared sacrum in less than two weeks after spending over $50,000 on other treatments.
"I had to buy a system. This is nearly eight years ago. And in less than two weeks, spending a half an hour twice a day, it was gone. And that was eight years ago. It's still gone because I do mine every day. And you would too if you've seen what PMF can do. The other thing I didn't mention about..."
PEMF benefits for circulation, sleep, and brain fog
Gary describes the broad benefits of PEMF therapy including increased circulation and oxygenation, ATP production, reduced inflammation and pain, and dramatically improved deep sleep that doubles or triples as measured by Oura rings.
"This increases circulation and therefore oxygenation, and that will increase ATP production, so you get more energy. It reduces inflammation and pain."
Professional athletes use PEMF for recovery
Gary reveals that all professional sports teams use PEMF therapy, including tennis stars Roger Federer and Djokovic, and the US swimming team, because it increases circulation, oxygenation, and accelerates recovery.
"all professional sports teams use PMF. It's just, you know, it's not talked about. Roger Federer has been doing PMF for years, very quietly, as you would. You wouldn't want to tell your competitors."
