EP369: More on PEMF With Candice

Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible. I’m a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients. Podcast Summary Introduction Dr. Warrick Bishop hosts the Healthy Heart Network podcast and welcomes back Candice Grove, founder and CEO of Best Self Cell, to discuss pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy and infrared light therapy. In this episode, they explore how PEMF therapy can address various health concerns and examine the integration of these technologies in therapeutic devices, while also discussing safety considerations and real-world applications. Key Takeaways PEMF therapy works across a broad spectrum of cells and has shown significant benefits for sleep, anxiety, stress, cognitive issues, bone health, joint and cartilage healing, and nerve pain recovery. Research from the Cochrane Review Library demonstrates that PEMF therapy can reduce fracture healing time by nearly 50%—a therapeutic outcome comparable to or exceeding many pharmaceutical interventions. Absolute contraindications for PEMF therapy include electrical implants like pacemakers; pregnant women should avoid it as a precaution due to lack of research, while epilepsy cases require professional consultation. PEMF devices are generally safe with standard metal implants (such as stents) at typical intensities, though very high-intensity devices (10,000 Gauss) should be avoided with metal implants. The Earth's natural electromagnetic field (7.83 Hz) creates a healthy living environment, and PEMF mats mimic this frequency, making them safe for extended use including overnight sleeping. Red light and near-infrared therapy enhance mitochondrial function and ATP production, promoting cellular healing, skin rejuvenation, inflammation reduction, and pain relief in targeted areas. PEMF electromagnetic fields penetrate completely through the body regardless of bone, tissue, or other materials, so users don't need to alternate positions to treat different sides. Best Self Cell pioneered the combination of PEMF and infrared therapies in a single mat in Australia, making this technology accessible locally rather than requiring expensive overseas purchases. Customer success stories demonstrate significant life improvements, including elimination of chronic pain, restored mobility, resolution of brain fog and migraines, and reduced dependence on ongoing therapeutic appointments.
