Why Electromagnetic Waves are Making Waves in the Wellness Industry
Biohacker Gary Brecka, also known as the “Ultimate Human” amongst health, wellness, and longevity circles, has played a pivotal role in the rising popularity of PEMF Mat technology after making appearances on both the Joe Rogan and Diary of a CEO podcasts to discuss his experience with low-frequency electromagnetic waves, for both himself and his celebrity clientele.
Admittedly, even he was a skeptic at first. With a background in biological science, Brecka has seen every health trend and fitness fad under the sun. It’s no wonder he’s become rigorous in his testing and promotion of new products and technologies. So why has PEMF not only passed his tests, but scored his hard-won approval? Because it’s worked for him, and the likes of Dana White.
In an episode of the globally-renowned Diary of a CEO podcast, a conversation with host Steven Bartlett led to Brecka sharing a story of his friend Dana White, CEO of UFC, who came to him out of desperation to turn a lifetime of bad habits around before it’s too late.
While White’s health situation was dire, Brecka claims to have managed to triple his life expectancy and improve almost every cellular function in his body. He cited PEMF Mat technology as playing a critical role in kicking off White’s intensive recovery routine, and White himself has come out saying (in a video on the UFC’s official YouTube Channel) that he spends every night sleeping on a PEMF Mat to ensure he’s getting the most restorative night’s sleep after long, stressful days as the CEO of the world’s most highly contentious sporting league. He called the PEMF mat his “secret weapon” for bouncing back from brutal training sessions.
Clearly, they’re no longer a secret. But what is it about PEMF mats that appears to be so magical? Well, for starters, it’s not magic. It’s science. And more specifically, cellular science.
As Breka explains, the mat’s “pulse electromagnetic field is really mimicking what we get from Mother Nature, and that’s magnetism, the current that we get from the surface of the Earth. Remember, every cell in our body is exchanging with its outside environment. It’s eliminating waste, it’s repairing, it’s detoxifying, it’s regenerating, so if we can enhance that process, you start to begin to understand the benefits of pulse electromagnetic field, or grounding.”
He’s so passionate about the topic that he’s taken to TikTok to share his thoughts, saying in a video that “your cells are batteries, and PEMF is the charger.”
And while we cite the benefits of PeakMe’s mats on our product pages here, Brecka takes his explanation one step further, truly breaking down what’s happening in the body when you activate your cells with electromagnetic waves. Things like increasing ATP production, reducing inflammation, reducing cortisol, and alkalizing blood pH by separating red blood cells.
With Brecka’s backing, MMA legend Georges St-Pierre used PEMF as part of his post-surgery recovery routine, and came out publicly claiming that his recovery time was slashed in half — from 12 weeks to 6.
And you don’t have to be an “ultimate human” or ultimate cage fighter or international biohacker to benefit from PEMF technology. As Brecka said, the mat is mimicking what we get from Mother Nature, which is something everyone could benefit from getting more of.
So if you’re just a busy regular human who lives in a city, trains in a gym, and commutes to a workplace, you may qualify for a bit of PEMF intervention more than anyone, as our time spent indoors and away from nature is often so limited by modern life.
But like Brecka, we’d encourage you to do your research. Learn more about the benefits of PeakMe’s unique PEMF Mat technology and explore our range here.
