On this episode of the Boundless Life podcast, I sit down with Mike North, a four-time Discovery Channel host, scientist, engineer, and CEO/co-founder of Shiftwave. Mike shares the remarkable story behind Shiftwave, a technology that uses targeted vibrations and sensory input to reset and regulate the nervous system, boost recovery, and unlock everything from deep relaxation to sharp focus.
We dive into the science and engineering behind the device, tracing its origins in regenerative therapy and showing how custom protocols can optimize mind and body. Mike and I discuss the latest research and breakthroughs shaping this technology, and I share my own experiences using Shiftwave for better sleep, athletic recovery, and nervous system health.
Mike North, PhD, is a scientist-engineer, entrepreneur, and pioneer in human optimization. A
four-time Discovery Channel host—including the hit series Outrageous Acts of Science—North
has taught at UC Berkeley, published in Nature, and developed technologies that bridge
engineering and human performance.
