David's Early Interest in Invention:

• Inspired by Thomas Edison and began experimenting at a young age.

• Studied computer science, management, and biology in college.

• 
  

Early Research and Career:

• Conducted cancer research, focusing on selectively destroying cancer cells.

• Worked on developing survival equipment for submarines and power generation systems.

• 
  

Invention of LifeWave's Energy Enhancer Patch:

• Developed the Energy Enhancer patch based on the concept of using electrical properties of cells to enhance energy production.

• The patch stimulates the skin with light, turning on beta oxidation in mitochondria, which burns fat for energy.

• 
  

Introduction to Network Marketing:

• Initially skeptical of network marketing, but was introduced to it through connections in the industry.

• The success of LifeWave in network marketing was accelerated by athletes using the patches and promoting them.

• 
  

Challenges in the Early Days of LifeWave:

• The first six months were financially challenging, with David going into debt to start the company.

• The breakthrough came when Olympic athletes were seen using the patches, leading to a surge in interest and sales.

• 
  

Development of X39 Stem Cell Patch:

• Inspired by research on stem cell activation and a vision of a coil that influenced cells.

• Developed the X39 patch, which activates stem cells without injections.

• Collaborated with the National University of Ireland on research and found that the patch could regenerate nerves and potentially reverse diabetic neuropathy.

• 
  

X49 Patch and Its Differences from X39:

• X49 was developed to elevate a different peptide (AHK), which has more localized effects in muscle, heart, and skin.

• X49 helps increase muscle mass, strength, stamina, and bone density, making it beneficial for combating aging-related issues.

• 
  

Safety and Use of LifeWave Patches:

• LifeWave patches are generally safe, using light therapy to activate natural processes in the body.

• Patches are disposable and should be worn for 12 hours on and 12 hours off.

• Some people might experience a rash due to over-stimulation or allergic reaction to the adhesive.

• 
  

Hydration and Patch Effectiveness:

• Proper hydration is crucial for the effectiveness of the patches, as water is necessary for energy production and detoxification.

• 
  

Patching for Children:

• David has used patches on his children, and while there are no formal studies on children, he believes they are safe if the child can communicate discomfort.

• 
  

Appeal to Healthcare Practitioners:

• LifeWave patches complement traditional medical practices, offering benefits in aftercare, pain management, sleep improvement, and energy enhancement.

• 
  

Future of LifeWave and Anti-Aging Research:

• LifeWave is researching ways to stop and reverse aging, inspired by species that do not age the way humans do.

• Future developments will continue to expand LifeWave's product line with innovative technology.

Podcast Introduction:

• Hosted by Meredith Oak, focusing on quantum biology and practical strategies.

• Conversations, not medical advice, with insights from various experts.

• 
  

Guest: David Schmidt:

• Inventor initially working with the US military to support Navy SEALs' health.

• Created a groundbreaking phototherapy product that uses the body's infrared light to enhance mitochondrial function.

• 
  

Overview of Phototherapy:

• Phototherapy involves treating the body with light to trigger biochemical changes.

• Schmidt's innovation eliminates the need for external light sources, using the body's light emissions for therapeutic effects.

• 
  

Development of Technology:

• Initially worked with military programs, including submarine energy systems and solutions for extended wakefulness without drugs.

• Invented a passive device using amino acids and sugars to enhance energy and fat burning for Navy SEALs.

• 
  

Path from Military to Phototherapy:

• After 9/11, Schmidt transitioned to developing and marketing his technology to doctors, athletes, and wellness experts.

• His company, LifeWave, emerged with the first product being the Energy Enhancer patch.

• 
  

Unique Mechanism of LifeWave Patches:

• Uses infrared emissions from the body to activate the materials in the patches.

• Reflects light to stimulate skin and cellular responses, increasing mitochondrial ATP production and triggering peptide synthesis.

• 
  

Clinical Studies and Observations:

• LifeWave conducted over 80 clinical studies, confirming improved ATP production and cellular health.

• Observations include enhanced sleep, metabolism, and healing through increased copper peptide levels.

• 
  

Copper Peptide's Role:

• Activates youthful gene expression and mobilizes stem cells.

• Functions similarly to Yamanaka factors, converting specialized cells back into pluripotent stem cells.

• 
  

Anti-Aging Research and Insights:

• Study of non-aging species (e.g., lobsters, hydra, planaria) to understand biological longevity.

• Found a biological code in lobster blood corresponding with biblical numerology, suggesting divine design.

• 
  

Applications in Medicine and Wellness:

• Potential to reduce healthcare costs through non-toxic, therapeutic light therapies.

• Empowering people with technology for natural health solutions without pharmaceuticals.

• 
  

Testimonies and Anecdotes:

• Users report improved sleep, mental clarity, and anti-aging effects.

• Examples include a 93-year-old woman visibly reversing age after two months of using the patch.

• 
  

Personal Story:

• Schmidt’s daughter used natural therapies to overcome thyroid cancer, reinforcing the importance of prayer, empowerment, and alternative healing.

• 
  

Future of Light Therapy:

• Aims to drive mainstream adoption or develop parallel wellness ecosystems.

• Focus on empowering individuals to take charge of their health with innovative, non-invasive technologies.
