Summary

In this episode of Bulletproof Radio, Garrett Salpeter, otherwise known as "The Health Engineer," joins me to talk about a special kind of electrical stimulation for the body. He put his engineering and neuroscience background to use to create an electrical stimulation method called NeuFit®. It’s based on neuromuscular re-education of the nervous system and specifically designed for injury rehabilitation, pain reduction, and improved body performance.

I actually demonstrate how the technology works during the show. I break a sweat using his Neubie® device – and even yelp a few times – but it’s all worth it.

(Note to Listeners: This episode was recorded at 40 Years of Zen before the coronavirus pandemic travel restrictions and shutdowns.)

This is a unique type of direct electrical current, Garrett says. “As opposed to traditional electrical stimulation, which is typically alternating current and causes muscles only to contract, this actually can allow us to preferentially reprogram muscles so that they lengthen, so they're more relaxed, more pliable and more resilient, and that allows us to move through greater ranges of motion. It opens up the pathways physically for the body to actually send the blood and raw materials and resources to help you heal, and it optimizes function in a way that just improves the overall recovery process.”

Science, research and functional neurology provide the backbone for NeuFit®. Garrett evolved his unique electrical stimulation protocols over the past decade and now helps athletes of all levels, as well as people recovering from spinal cord injury, stroke, and MS.

He and his team work directly with MLB, NHL, NBA, and NFL teams; major NCAA universities; hospital systems; physical therapy and chiropractic clinics; and fitness facilities.

Listen on to find out how to recover faster from injuries, reverse chronic pain, and experience big improvements in fitness and performance.

0:00.0	Your listening to Bull of Graffiti with Dave Asprey.
0:09.6	Today's episode is a special episode recorded live at the 40 years old in facility here
0:16.1	in Seattle, Washington.
0:18.2	Today's guest is going to use a test subject to demonstrate a different kind of electrical
0:23.9	stimulation than you probably know about.
0:26.6	His name is Garrett Salpeter and he's known as the Health Engineer.
0:31.2	And he puts engineering and neuroscience, which are his background to together and he
0:35.7	makes an electrical stimulation method called NewFit.
0:39.5	And it's based on neuromuscular reeducation of your nervous system.
0:43.5	You've heard me talk about how we have these pattern matching things in our body and
0:47.9	that a lot of them happen without our conscious input.
0:52.8	And a lot of 40 years of Zen were to do is were training the threat detection systems
0:56.7	in the brain to realize that a lot of things that you think are threats like not getting
1:00.9	enough likes on Facebook, that they're not threats.
1:04.2	So you can stop being reactive to them which saves energy.
1:06.6	So that's a big part of the brain neurological upgrade that's a 40 years of Zen by a feedback
1:12.6	based practice.
1:14.0	But what we're talking about with Garrett here is around training the muscles and nerves
1:18.8	in the body that aren't in the brain so that they move correctly.
1:23.0	And Garrett, what you're doing is the best electrical stimulation that I'm aware of in
1:28.7	years of looking at this stuff.
1:30.4	And I'm very impressed with your tech and what I have here on the show to talk about it.
