Increase Your Healthspan - PEMF Therapy is the ultimate Anti-aging tool!
Consider the literal definition of health. The dictionary defines it as “the absence of injury, pain or disease.” If we think about it, health is so much more than that – and it can be an evolving state. Even if we are disease and injury free, we can still feel stronger and more energetic. We can increase our bioelectricity, which equates to better health, increased vitality and ultimately a longer life.
When it comes to our health, increasing our overall health and vitality (and concurrently preventing illness) means making the right decisions with our diet, activities, supplements, habits and overall lifestyle. Holistic health means to treat the whole body instead of just treating a single condition or body system. When we do this, we are using a holistic preventive medicine approach to not only stay healthy and vibrant, but also potentially start feeling even more vigorous as time goes on. There is a great quote by Josh Shipp which captures this vibe beautifully:
"You either get bitter or you get better. It's that simple. You either take what has been dealt to you and allow it to make you a better person, or you allow it to tear you down. The choice does not belong to fate, it belongs to you."
Like a fine wine we can age better. PEMF therapy is one way to help our body and biofield age better, along with a whole foods diet, good hydration, exercise and sleep, deep breathing and fresh air, sunshine, earthing, good posture, meditation, stress management, positive attitude, and other energy medicine modalities like red light therapy, whole body vibration, oxygen therapy, saunas, etc.
While there are many solid, beneficial holistic habits that can improve our overall health and well-being, hopefully we’re making a strong case that a daily whole body PEMF therapy session is one of the best holistic practices to invest in. To reemphasize, all the cellular mechanisms we briefly discussed earlier revolve around creating more vigor and liveliness in the body with both stored energy (cell voltage, ATP, glycogen, etc.) and moving energy or energy flows (improved blood and lymphatic circulation, improve airflow in the lungs and increased nerve and meridian flows). Increasing our stored energy (potential) and moving energy (kinetic) in a balanced way is THE fundamental way we can rejuvenate ourselves over time.

The image above is from Master Choa's book on Pranic Healing. While it is perhaps not scientifically accurate, it artfully illustrates how our energy and health can increase and evolve over time so that our body and biofield can become brighter, healthier and more balanced and cohesive.
Aging Theories
Energy (voltage/atp) and Space (detox)
Too much waste - mucoid plaque, fat, gallstones, kidney stones.
More space, more energy = more Time.
Not enough energy, not enough space.
1) Energy = Electron Rich
Antioxidants, juices, electron rich EZ water/water+Sunlight
PEMF increases -> Increase Cell Voltage + ATP
Sleep Recharges Energy too (PEMF helps)
2) More Space = Improve Flows of blood and lymph to remove waste. Electroporesis. Toxins out through 4 elimination organs
Stagnant lymph poor detox. Detox protocols, colon, liver, kidney
Theories of Aging
I) Wear and Tear (August Wiseman 1882) - like a car we get wear and tear damage.
a. Free Radical Theory - Normal respiration - rust or browning apple.
b. Cellular garbage theory - accumulation of toxins, cellulite, mucoid plaque, cellular waste, etc. - garbage mucks things up
c. Cross linkage - proteins in body link and damage cell - skin wrinkling happens on inside too.
d. Membrane theory - cell membranes harden/less porous.
e. Mitochondrial decline theory
II) Error theory - Hayflick limit
Errors or mutations add up
III) Aging is programmed -
a. Hayflick limit 40-60 times. Telomeres , plastic tips on shoelaces...lifes fuse. Every time cells divide, a bit of the cap is lost.
B. Endocrine - after age 30 HGH, sex hormones, melatonin
c. Immune theory - declines with age.
IV) Metabolic theory or heartbeat theory. Increased metabolism leads to lower lifespan - relates to how fast we age. Calorie restriction slows metabolism and slows aging. Reduce calories lowers metabolism.
PEMF helps
1) Increase ATP and mitochondria - mitochondria decline and
2) Telomere length
3) DNA synthesis and repair - electrifies DNA, more energy to
4) antioxidant increase glutathione - rust proofing your body
5) control blood sugar - cross linkage theory
6) enhances immunity
7) stem cells - heal and regeneration
AMP Kinase (AMPK)- stimulates autophagy, exercise and fasting mimetic, mitochondrial biogenesis and mitophagy.
Autophagy keeps the body and cells
1) Clean and free of debris (cellular debris theory aging)
2) Free from dysfunctioning mitochondria and oxidative stress (free radical theory of aging)
==> enhanced autophagic flux and not the suppression of lysosomal function
==>In essence, the phrase signifies a situation where the cell's "cleanup" system is working more actively and efficiently, and this improved function isn't masking a problem in the cellular "disposal" system (lysosomes).
Autophagy (Autophagic Flux): This is a cellular process by which cells break down and recycle damaged organelles, misfolded proteins, and other cellular waste.

Hormesis WORKS at the cellular level.
When cells are faced with mild stressors, it seems to confer an increase in function and longevity.
Anti-stress genes. Researchers at the University of Massachusetts have proposed that hormetic stresses work by inducing cellular adaptations brought on by activation of an “anti-stress” gene regulatory network. In their article “Hormesis and Adaptive Cellular Control Systems” in the journal Dose-Response, Melvin Anderson and others present evidence that hormetic stressors are first detected by molecular sensors, which activate “transcription factors” and upregulate the expression of a suite of anti-stress gene networks. These genes in turn activate a cascade of “homeostatic pathways”, i.e., adaptive responses which protect cells from stressful environments. One example is the activation of so-called “heat shock proteins” expressed by cells from bacteria to mammals as an adaptive response to heat stress, allowing the cell to resist heat denaturation of cellular proteins. These metabolic adaptations protect against toxicity to cells or organs, but require a significant increase in energy expenditure by the organism. Depending on the concentration and duration of exposure, the cell can shift from a normal functioning state, to an adaptive and stressed state at mild to intermediate exposures, or ultimately to an overt state of toxicity in the presence of an overwhelming concentration of stressors. If this model is correct, an accurate classification of the cell state could be directly used in risk assessments of various biological stresses.
Stress Response pathways... Eustress = Good Stress!
Heat Shock Response Stimulated (unregulated) in response to stressful conditions … First discovered in relation to heat shock (subjecting a cell to a increase in temperature), but now known to be expressed during stresses including exposure to cold, UV light and wound healing/tissue remodeling. Also inflammation, exercise, exposure toxins, infection
Unfolded Protein Response (unfolded and misfolded proteins) ----> Charperomes, co-charperomes?
Autophagic response (food starvation, hypoxia, damaged organelles) ---> Lysosomes
DNA repair response (radiation, oxidants, free radicals) ----> DNA repair enzymes
Antioxidant Response -----> Nrf-2, heme-oxygenase, FOXO
Sirtuin Response (Energy depletion) ---> Sirtuins
NF-kb Inflammatory response (pathogens, allergens, damaged macromolecules) ----> Cytokines, Nitric oxide synthase
ROS (oxygen ions i.e. superoxide radical and peroxides) - reactive oxygen species … Increase in ROS increases resistance to ROS. ROS leads to a condition of mild stress which in turn enhances vitality.

Three Studies in PEMF Autophagy - All Medium Intensity
1) This study not only demonstrated the potential benefit for PEMFs in protecting against and possibly slowing the progression of AD, but also that it does this through the improvement of autophagy 266.

2 mT - 1 hour.
2) In another study, authors investigated the effects of a PEMF on mouse embryo fibroblast autophagy. Fibroblast cells exposed to a PEMF were found to cause a significant increase in autophagy markers starting at six hours after exposure 80.
In a search for molecular mechanisms underlying PFMF-mediated autophagy, we observe that the autophagic process involved reactive oxygen species (ROS) and was independent of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway.
