The Power of PEMF and Red Light Therapy

What if menopause wasn’t a crisis to manage but an invitation to regenerate?
Have you heard of regenerative health? It’s the art and science of creating the right conditions for your body to heal itself, cell by cell, breath by breath. That’s the power of PEMF – pulsed electromagnetic field therapy - and Red Light therapy.  Far from “woo-woo”, these science-backed tools have been used by professional athletes, NASA astronauts and functional doctors to recharge the body’s energy and support cellular repair and bone health. 
During perimenopause and menopause, many women say they just feel “off” – less energy, more reactive, a sense they’re not operating at 100%.  PEMF and Red Light therapy work like a battery charger for your cells – restoring the body’s natural energy balance and creating the optimal environment to heal.
This goes beyond collagen and beauty.  It’s biology.
🎧 In this episode we explore:
Why cells have an electrical charge and what happens when they’re damaged or fatigued
How PEMF boosts cellular energy (ATP), enhances bone strength and regulates hormones
The impact of PEMF in treating osteoporosis
How red and near-infrared light therapy can improve energy, reduce fatigue, pain and inflammation
How both therapies promote holistic wellbeing—from mood to skin
How both therapies are non-invasive solutions for menopause symptoms
Our guest Andy Smith, PEMF Therapy Expert, founder and CEO of NewMedLtd shares how a personal health scare inspired him to champion these therapies and create Celler8, bringing regenerative wellness to more people.
