Hey folks, this is Ben Greenfield and we've mentioned on the show a few times the concept

of a pulse to electro magnetic field therapy and the use of electric fields and magnetic

fields to do things like help injuries to heal and specifically the thing we've talked

about it most concerning is dealing with PMF and something like chronic pain.

I actually was recently made aware of a device, a home device that actually uses PMF and

I was able to get the inventor of the device onto today's show to kind of talk about what

pulse to electro magnetic field therapy can be used for and some of the ways that it actually

works because this stuff can be kind of hard to understand I know and it can also be

you know concerning we're talking about electric fields and the human body I know a lot of

people can get concerned about the health effects and and all that so we're just going to delve

really deeply into this and kind of geek out on the science of PMF and how it works and how it

can help you with everything from sleep to recovery to performance how to practically implement it

and so on. So Paul thank you so much for coming on the call today to talk about this.

Hey it's my pleasure. So Paul you've got this device and I'll be sure to

to link to it over at the show notes for this podcast at Ben Greenfield Fitness.com but it's called

the earth pulse. Can you kind of describe to me just just right off the bat you know what exactly

is the earth pulse? Why is it named earth pulse and what's the background behind it?

Okay well I was when I got out of law school and I was studying for the bar exam I think I spent

more time studying electric electro medicine than I spent studying my bar notes.

The reason that you know I was bartending in Las Vegas I was getting sick all the time and

and I happened to stumble across a little device that pulse electricity into your pulse points

on your wrist and in fact when I discovered it I was carrying the flu shouldn't have been out
