LATEST STORIES

When Andy Smith was rushed off a transcontinental flight with excruciating abdominal pain, he never imagined the mysterious infection threatening his life would become the catalyst for a global wellness innovation. But that’s exactly what happened. Today, Smith is the founder and developer of CELLER8 — a cutting-edge Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy device that is quietly revolutionizing the way we heal, particularly in women’s health.

“I was in a healing crisis. The body just wasn’t recovering,” says Smith in an interview with TereZa Hakobyan-Lolli and Anthony Lolli, Editors-in-Chief of longevity and wellness platform Biohack Yourself, for the influential upcoming women’s health documentary, “sHEALed.” “It wasn’t until I used PEMF that my infection cleared, the wound healed, and my energy returned. That’s when I knew I had to make this accessible to others.”

Built on medical manufacturing expertise and inspired by both personal experience and family health challenges, CELLER8 is more than a product — it’s a mission to bring safe, natural healing back to the forefront of daily life.

The sHEALed Documentary is the sister documentary to Biohack Yourself, which became a massive success after exploding on the scene in December 2024 and ignited a firestorm of interest in information focused on health and longevity. Biohack Yourself features 114 prominent and respected high-profile politicians, doctors, bestselling authors, Ph.D.s, M.D.s, scientists, chemists, inventors, biotech investors, and world-renowned academics. Stemming from the success of Biohack Yourself, TereZa Hakobyan-Lolli and Anthony Lolli have grown Biohack Yourself Media to become the number one resource for health news, publishing over 500 articles ranging from breaking news to peer reviewed content.

What Is PEMF?

PEMF stands for Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy. It involves sending low-frequency magnetic fields into the body, replicating the natural magnetic pulses of the Earth — pulses modern life has stripped away.

“Magnetic fields are as essential as water and oxygen,” explains Smith. “But industrialization has cut us off. We wear shoes, live in concrete buildings, and rarely touch the Earth anymore.”

PEMF technology compensates for this loss, creating a “grounding” effect by mimicking Earth’s frequency — helping restore the body’s natural rhythms and supporting cellular repair, circulation, and inflammation reduction.

The Science Behind the Spark

The roots of PEMF are grounded in credible research. NASA itself explored the use of electromagnetic fields after astronauts returned from space with weakened bones and muscle loss — a direct consequence of being removed from Earth’s magnetic environment.

Today, PEMF therapy is used in clinical settings to support:

Bone density (especially in postmenopausal women)
Menstrual pain and endometriosis
Postpartum tissue healing
Sleep disorders
Inflammation and chronic pain
Mental clarity and mood regulation

“We’ve seen PEMF therapy accelerate perineal healing after childbirth by 50% and restore sexual function 76% faster,” says Smith, citing a recent 172-woman study.

Simplicity Meets Science: The CELLER8 Advantage

What sets CELLER8 apart from other PEMF devices is its user-centric design — developed specifically to eliminate the barriers of cost, bulk, and complexity.

“We wanted to create a PEMF device that fits into your life, not one you have to fit around,” says Smith.

CELLER8 is compact, cordless, and customizable. The controller also acts as an applicator, with internal copper coils that generate therapeutic magnetic fields — no Wi-Fi, no Bluetooth, and no added EMF exposure.

“Why would you build a device to restore natural frequency and then fill it with EMF? We stripped all of that out,” says Smith.

Instead, the device aligns with your body’s circadian rhythm — using higher frequencies in the morning to boost alertness and lower ones at night to support deep sleep and brainwave regulation.

Designed with Women in Mind

CELLER8 isn’t just innovative — it’s deeply intentional, especially for women. Smith’s inspiration stems from watching his sister-in-law suffer with endometriosis, an inflammatory condition where uterine tissue grows outside the uterus, causing debilitating pain.

“She tried everything — painkillers, hormone therapy. Nothing worked. That’s when we decided to design a PEMF device that directly addressed menstrual pain and inflammation.”

The result? A compact applicator that women can place directly over the abdominal or pelvic region, delivering targeted PEMF therapy without the need to undress. It’s drug-free, risk-free, and incredibly effective — with no known side effects except for those with pacemakers.

Postpartum, Perimenopause, and Beyond

Beyond menstrual health, PEMF is proving to be a game-changer for postpartum recovery and perimenopausal symptoms. The same technology used to boost bone density in astronauts is now helping women strengthen bones, ease hormone-related fatigue, and recover faster from childbirth injuries.

“PEMF creates the optimal cellular environment for healing,” says Smith. “It separates blood cells, improves oxygenation, and enhances circulation — all crucial for recovery.”

And because the therapy is passive, it requires no effort. Just 20 minutes a day — on the couch, in an office chair, or under a pillow — can deliver noticeable results in mood, energy, and pain management.

Action Steps: How to Start Using PEMF Today

Interested in integrating PEMF into your life? Smith offers this easy guide:

Start Small: Begin with a 20-minute session in the morning to align your energy and support cellular activation.
Target Your Needs: Use the portable controller on areas of menstrual pain, joint discomfort, or inflammation.
Support Sleep: Place the applicator under your pillow at night to encourage delta wave activity and deeper sleep.
Prioritize Consistency: Like hydration or movement, PEMF works best with daily use — even while watching TV.
Don’t Mix with EMFs: Choose PEMF devices that do not emit Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. These disrupt rather than support healing.
Pair with Red Light Therapy: Combine modalities to amplify results. Red light boosts ATP; PEMF enhances ATP utilization.

The Future of PEMF

According to Smith, PEMF is the next red light therapy — poised to become a household essential. From future office chairs embedded with coils to PEMF-infused pet beds and clothing, this is only the beginning.

“We’re going to see PEMF in sofas, in vehicles, maybe even in clothing,” he predicts. “Anywhere you sit, stand, or rest, you’ll be supported by magnetic fields that recharge your cells.”

In the meantime, CELLER8 is building the bridge — with full-body mats, dual-function applicators, and even upcoming models designed specifically for pets.

Another Way for Women

Smith, a father of two young girls, created CELLER8 with a personal mission: to provide safe, natural tools for his daughters — and women everywhere — to grow up with alternatives to painkillers and hormone therapy.

“Women are not alone,” he says. “There are solutions that are non-invasive, science-backed, and completely safe. You don’t have to suffer — you just need access.”
