 Hey everybody, we're going to do an Instagram live, which we're going to join in there in a bit, so you guys will see us there shortly as well. But today we're on Facebook with you. This was kind of a spontaneous decision to do that. So you might not have seen me promo this on Facebook, but I'm here with my new friend Lauren, Bear and Jerry. I hope I said that right. It was kind of like Ben and Jerry, but it's not. I always have to, you know, tell people it's not like the ice cream, it's Berlin, like the city and Jerry. Yeah. Okay. And we just talked for two minutes, but I feel like your new friend so. And the reason I'm here guys you have heard me talk about this she reached out so her and I'll let her tell her story in just a second but just for fun here so I am. I'm going to talk about higher dose in the PMF mat and today I'm going to tell you just a little bit about we only have 1015 minutes but about how like my health has personally changed with this. She's not paying me to say any of this I just literally I love their company and what I was telling her before we get on is when I love a product, I can't stop talking about it and when it changes my health. I really can't stop talking about it so I'll tell you a little bit about what I've noticed and why I'm so passionate about this. Thank you, Lauren. Tell us how did you start the company. Tell us you and your partner and you can give us her name. Tell us your story and your journey. Sure. So thank you for having me on. So I depends on how far I want to go back but just quickly I'll give you the high level. So I used to be an international fitness model. I became a TV host I had my own show called woman versus workout, where I got to try all sorts of like crazy physical challenges from Navy SEAL training to NASCAR driving to motocross, you know, always was pushing the limits. I love it. I considered myself to be an extreme athlete, but I was never considered that so you can imagine how badly I needed recovery, and how much I was interested in, you know, like, health, the wellness and optimization from an early age. And then from there I started hosting for EA sports UFC, and just like quickly realize that you know I didn't want to host and talk about other people doing great things I wanted to do you know something interesting myself. And I knew where my true passion was which was actually in health and wellness. So I studied to be a health coach nutritionist. I studied at IIN. It's a great school. And from there I actually applied for a health and wellness startup. And my job was the brand ambassador program I felt very connected just being a TV host in the wellness space and fitness space. And then also was product development because ultimately they were creating products for me you know, I was the perfect demographic. During that period, my job was to sit in a room and interview the most influential wellness people from doctors nutritionists, you know fitness experts just all around picking their brain on what is the best products and what they're obsessed with. And I was introduced to the infrared sauna from Dr. Franklin man I don't know if anyone really well. Yeah, he's a South African doctor I spent a lot of time in Cape Town myself. And he actually told me about the infrared sauna, and that I needed to do it for myself because even though I was some, you know, health and wellness expert, you know I was dealing with my own health issues which is always the case. And at that time, you know there was only one infrared sauna in New York City. It was in the colon, it was in a clinic center in the basement behind this like really weird curtain and you'd kind of like could hear people walking like sitting there naked was like an awful experience. But immediately I knew that this was the best thing I've ever tried in my life I felt calm, grounded, connected. I had glowing skin and I slept through the night for the first time without needing to eat something which is normally how my nervous system was just so out of whack from all the you know crazy fitness challenges I was doing. So I knew right then and there that I wanted to start my company, you know, with something to do with infrared bringing infrared to the masses. You know I did a couple research paper papers on it just because I wanted to write a blog on it. And it was kind of crazy just like finding out about the benefits like the benefits are just like this long list of benefits which is unheard of the technology so safe. You know, when babies are prematurely born they're in, you know, in incubators that's infrared technology, and it's been around forever and it's been studied and I just didn't understand like how everyone didn't know about this, especially in New York City, where it's crazy go go go. You know we like are probably some of the most unhealthy people even though we're trying to be healthy just because we're exposed to light stress, you know, not nature, you know there was just so many aspects of, you know New York and why it was so stressful. So, I knew I wanted to start my company, but I also knew I needed a business partner just based on my experience at startups. I had no idea how to create spreadsheets and, you know, PNL's and you know models and you know even just raise money like forget it you know with my background, even though I was like somewhat of an expert in this space like if you haven't raised money before like it's really difficult. Yep. So I met my business partner Katie caps who's not on this zoom right now but she's amazing she you know has a very deep rooted financial background, worked for startups before she was, you know, one of the six first six employees at Tough Mudder and grew that company. Wow, just the perfect match for me and I told her about the infrared sauna and the rest was history. Oh my gosh, I love that because obviously it's so here I am I'm an expert in environmental toxicity mole and people fly from all over the world to see me in my clinic and I do the, I do the medical detective work at the toughest cases and you know one of the foundations of my treatment plans are always infrared sauna. I find is there's no amount of supplements, or anything that we do that takes that out of the tissues like sauna does. So that infrared technology actually allows me you've heard me talk about this before if you're listening allows our tissues to excrete like fat soluble toxins, parabens, phthalates, metals molds and of course I work with a ton of patients. I had my old journey with mold five years ago in my office got flooded really really sick from mold and infrared sauna was one of the critical components of my healing. So I'm all on board and what I love that you've done with higher dose is there's these you know we have a full sauna in our office to my massage therapist has one of these other brands. There are thousands and thousands of dollars like they start at 4,000. So a lot of my patients can afford to get them they're beautiful they're lovely but when I saw your sauna blanket and then I read about the low emf, and then also the you know the clean of materials and things. I was really impressed and of course I got one. I love it. I think it's the best thing in fact it's pretty heavy but if you were doing like a drive trip or something you could even travel with it. I have one here in my closet right now in Austin so I definitely that's like the first thing I like take with me. It's exactly like very doable for that so for me I'd love to tell patients about your products because they're very affordable, and they still do the work like it's actually so cool because it's so easy to use and so. So I feel like that is integral like for me, my toolbox is large in the sense of nutrient supplements diet lifestyle but if I don't. If I'm not able to get patients infrared sauna as part of their treatment protocol, especially mold toxicity. It's critical like it's absolutely critical at the right time. So that was your first product and then it gets even better. So I'll tell my background on PMF so PMF is pulsed electromagnetic frequency for any of you who don't know. Now I've known I've had a lot of colleagues in fact one of my dearest friends and natural path has a NASA version $20,000 PMF map. And she kept telling me Jill this is amazing you need to get this, but guess what, even me $20,000 is a huge investment right. I'm like, oh hi that's a lot of money I don't have the money for that. And of course most patients don't have disposable income to just go buy a NASA version. So when you guys first came out with a PMF mat, I actually asked them like you know this is really cool but look at this price, like prices under $1000 I'm like how can that be, you know the version of your mat. And she actually was the one who said you know Jill the technology is fairly simple. And I think that you're probably going to get just as good of results with something like that. And she has a few extra bells and whistles like attachments but for the disk for the you know the price that you guys offer it for, I think it'll be good so I got one. And here's where it gets interesting because again I came with like I didn't know what to expect. I was just going to try it out. And first thing is I started I like to research and I'd like to bring patients the best science kind of like you were saying, and as I started to look there is so much research on PMF. Like in Fred, like when I discovered it, I was like, hold on. Why are I know red spin around forever and no one knows about it how. Yeah, and even more than in Fred I think even more obscure which is sad because I haven't a doctor in functionalism for 20 years. I've heard of it but again I haven't gone into the depth. So first thing was like there's a lot of science and the main science. These are just a few indications but concussions brain dementia cognitive issues. There's lots and lots of studies on rehab of joints and muscles and tissues and injuries like lots and lots of healing. There's studies on deep sleep and REM. And so as I started to see in my patients most of their biggest issues are around injury recovery detoxification brain fog and brain issues and sleep right. Okay, so then here's my experience. So first of all, I love your Matt I was showing I'm going to show everybody real quick. I have a sheepskin pillow and blanket on it but it underneath there in the corner, I use it every single day Lauren twice a day 20 minutes. And my experience is this first thing setting one which I think is like seven or eight Hertz it's like the Delta. Let's see. Yeah, yeah, it's the Schumann's resonance is similar to the earth score frequency. So and this is patients experience to now that I've been telling them. So that one I literally now I have a ordering second track the subject to see that's the key is tracking all of this like one thing to feel it. You know, but then you're like, Hmm, I wonder if I really do feel it but then you start tracking it and you're like, Whoa, this is crazy. That's exactly so I get good sleep. I am not someone who can't sleep but what I did is I went from one hour 45 minutes sometimes on a really good night two hours of deep sleep. Seven hours of my total sleep time. To now I get whenever I use that setting one for 20 minutes, at least two and a half hours of deep sleep, even if I get a total of five hours of sleep which means I've gotten more than 50% of my night in deep sleep like this is unheard of. I was asking my friend the neuro psychologist like is this normal. One night I had 62% deep sleep. And she's like that is not normal job. I'm like I'm super human but it's so consistent like I can track it show you data after data point of my deep sleep at least for me personally is absolutely better, more correlated and what I found in the last several months of using this, I always needed like seven eight hours and as I've worked with nervous system and healing now I can get six or seven I like seven and a half is ideal. If I go less than six and a half I notice, but I have gone I don't like to do this, you know too many nights in a row but I can go easily with a five hour and I feel amazing because of that Matt. Yeah, that's so good that's an amazing testimonial just right there. I mean at least you get off the mat my husband falls asleep on it and I have to wake him up but you know like 10 o'clock at night and I'm like you need to come into bed and sometimes he just like is like no I'm going to stay on this mat. I know it's okay and then there's the I want to talk about in a second I've got one more story to tell, but the heat and then the ions because you've got some other features there that are amazing. The other thing I've noticed is, so some people know my history I cancer at 25 Crohn's at 26 severe mold illness in my late 30s and recovered from all this like I'm a professional biohacker. So I do myself and then teach patients, but the one thing that's been fairly long term and I always believe that I could start to heal this but I haven't actually seen a lot of traction is my total immunoglobulins whether it's from cancer or preceded that are low I have an immune deficiency. And my theory on this is that I've had Crohn's and issues with the gut and my gut is in great shape, but as many of you patients know as well leaky gut is a lot can be a long term thing. And because of my history of the damage from the chemotherapy and the Crohn's disease, I've still had somewhat of a permeable gut. Now I don't feel poorly, but what happens for me is I actually have pre protein wasting and now that's a long word that just means I kind of like if I had Swiss cheese for gut, I leak out protein no matter how much protein I eat, so that my protein of human levels are always a little low, and my immunoglobulins which are just proteins in the blood their antibodies are low. So that all probably comes from gut issues. Well, Lauren when I started doing this Matt within four weeks of using the three and four setting I think the three is a little better for brain in my opinion and four is a little bit better for the healing. Of course that in the higher hurts I think we're in like 22.5 up to 40 Hertz maybe range. And what I'm see what I saw within four weeks on again objective this is lab data for the first time in five years. My protein and I'll be human were normal. I literally looked at my labs and I'm like, Holy, you know what this is like, I've never seen this happen and then I said, What have I been doing differently. I haven't seen any new supplements. My life is the same. The Matt, and then I was like, Okay, I'm going to prove this because I'm going to consistently do this every day. And what happened is my protein of human maintained normal. And within 10 weeks my IG level was normal. And then for the first time after probably 12 weeks of using that Matt consistently, my IG level was way above so the normal there is like 800 to 1500. For the first time in five years it was 2000. I didn't know this story. I'm like jaw dropped on. I know I was like, I'm literally like for five years I've been trying to hack my immune system. And I know for me, my immune system is related to give my gut permeability and again my gut feels great day to get day I have great function I eat really clean but I eat what I want so I don't feel symptoms, but my labs for five years since the mold have been showing this issue with the protein wasting. And I believe with all my heart there's no other explanation on them. It's like the deeper pulsing in the stomach that it gets like to more of your like organs which is like the way that you increase blood flow and circulation and maybe get. Yeah, well I think it could do a bunch of different things I mean definitely working on your nervous system and calming you down and getting deeper sleep you're going to rest and digest and repair. You're healing. So I think it has to do something that with that to and then I think the deeper pen for sure like the heel bone with. Myself for osteopenia I've been talking to my patients have osteoporosis STP I'm like get a mat. I talk about your mat every day and again you she's not paying me I literally am here because I love I can't talk enough about I have done. I am a professional biohacker which means you name a device kind of like you in your day I buy it I try it I love to try new things. I haven't been this excited about anything in five years. So that makes me feel so happy you have no idea. Like this is the reason why we do this you know is is ultimately to bring these healing technologies to everyone in the world. You know it's it's the only thing that I felt truly passionate about is to like share these technologies and experiences and products with people, and ultimately like help make people make people feel better. That's the key at the end of the day is we all just want to feel better especially during these times when we realize like, that's the most important thing is our health and our happiness. Yeah, and thank you for doing this. I know we're just about a time but like, we have to do this again. I know like I just threw I just like threw up on the camera. But I was going to say the other thing like I believe in it so much. I paid for mats for every staff member, and all of my family, like, and I'm not tooting my own horn here I'm just like I love health and if I can give a gift of health. So this Christmas my staff got mats, and my family I have five siblings and parents so this is not a small number of mats. I think I bought 12 mats maybe 14 mats in the last. Oh man you're making me look bad I didn't even get my family the mats until this Christmas. And I was like you have to wait because we're on backorder. I'm the one that gets punished the most you have to take care of your clients before but to be honest with you we've had an issue trying to keep the products and stock. I guess what was going to happen and talk about that because I've seen that you know and I know you're going to start up and stuff because let's just because I actually have three friends that we got some for and they're still waiting but totally get it. So talk a little about that's a great problem to have right. Yeah, I mean we didn't plan for COVID like just to give you guys a little bit more color we originally started by opening infrared spa locations in New York. We had 11 locations so you know once COVID hit, you know you can imagine we went from 11 locations down to one. But the blessing of it all was that you know we were selling the infrared sauna blanket for almost two years, maybe a year and a half before COVID hit anyways. So we already saw that part of the business growing at 400% versus our spa location business growing at 25%. We already started to pivot way before you know COVID hit, and thank God we did because like we were just in a perfect position to be accelerated during COVID, which is exactly what happened. You know everyone's at home, they're investing into their wellness, wanting to do things that build their immune system, give you something to do make you feel good. We just like sold way more than we could have ever expected. And you know I'm having a business as a whole another beast but you know you need money for inventory and you know you got to ramp up your supply and there's like a lot of things that needed to shift in the business and you know I still consider ourselves a small business like, you know, we're just like for employees and a bunch of contractors so you know we're definitely like then the last month, I would say we've kind of like figured out all of our strategies are moving forward and we are going to be back in stock in two weeks. Definitely order now because you know like, it's really difficult to keep it and you don't want to like, you know, be stuck on that preorder list for two or three months which is kind of what happened and it's so heartbreaking because like you know all we want to do is give this amazing technology to everyone. Well, keep up the good now we know who was buying them all. I'm the reason I like. Well, I, you're listening Instagram Facebook wherever you hear us. We will put links so if you want to purchase and you can get a discount. I think our discount code my special code for $75 office Jill 75 so be sure and use that because you can get the discount.

You already have thank you so much and just appreciate you having me on as a guest and yes let's do this again. I love talking to a mind and amazing woman. Awesome. Stay well. Thank you.
