In my kitchen I am joined by Andy Smith, the founder of Celler8, a UK-based wellness company focused on advanced recovery, regeneration and performance technologies designed to support the body at a cellular level.

Celler8 specialises in innovative health technologies including PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy), red light therapy and grounding solutions. The company’s mission is to help people reconnect with natural biological rhythms in an increasingly technology-driven world, supporting energy, recovery, sleep and overall wellbeing through science-backed tools that work with the body rather than against it.

In this episode, we explore what PEMF is, how it works, and why it’s becoming increasingly relevant in modern life. As our environments become more electrically and technologically saturated, Andy explains why grounding and restoring balance to our bodies may be more important than ever.

We dive into the rapidly growing world of biohacking and the practical ways to optimise health, performance and longevity. Andy shares how he personally incorporates biohacking practices into his everyday routine. From recovery and nervous system support to light exposure and lifestyle habits, this conversation offers an accessible introduction to technologies and habits designed to help us feel and function better.

Topics we discuss are:
What PEMF is
How did you get into the PEMF world
Why do we need PEMF now more than ever before?
How the world set up to work against us from a frequency perspective
How to incorporate PEMF into everyday life
Founding Celler8
Grounding naturally vs using PEMF therapy
Biohacking

We go through Tabitha’s awful experience with cancer at just 18, which ignited their research and love for all things wellness. What began as a journey of healing and learning soon became a passion for living better, feeling stronger, and taking control of their health.

This episode highlights not only the importance of your health and doing your own research but also it shares a lot of recommendations that you can take forward and use in your own life
