in today's video i am going to be reviewing the neorhythm a wearable device that uses brainwave
entrainment to improve your sleep improve your focus and even reduce pain those are the claims at
least but then the question obviously becomes does this technology and does this device actually work
the neo rhythm uses pulsed electromagnetic field or pemf therapy to target specific
frequencies to which the brain synchronizes we know that different brain frequencies
can determine our state of mind if your brain waves are mainly beta you feel alert
theta you are deeply relaxed and gamma you are concentrating by targeting a specific frequency
near rhythm helps you to get your brain into your desired state of mind
now this was my first time going down the brain entrainment and pemf rabbit hole so i didn't
really know what to expect on the surface it sounds too good to be true but there have been
some really interesting studies done on pemf therapy which i will talk about in this video
so in today's video i'm going to give you a full review on the neorhythm talk about how and
if it works the benefits i experienced and ultimately if i think it is worth it
hey guys welcome back to my channel if you're new here my name is kait i'm a health coach and i post
videos on a high fat nutrient dense way of eating if you like this video please give it a thumbs up
feel free to share and make sure to subscribe and make sure to follow me on instagram twitter and
facebook where i share new posts every single day now if you are not new to my channel you probably
know that i take my sleep very seriously sleep is so important for all aspects of our health
both physical and mental so i am always down to try anything to improve it some strategies i
currently use to optimize my sleep include wearing blue light blocking glasses after sunset mouth
taping and wearing a sleep mask but none of these strategies address the issue of a racing mind i'm
sure we can all relate to how difficult it is to fall asleep when your mind is jumping all over the
place one strategy to deal with this is journaling which i do do periodically basically just writing
down everything on your mind before you go to bed a brain dump if you will sometimes this is enough
but sometimes i still can't seem to slow my mind down so when the people from omniport reached out
to me asking me if i wanted to review their device i was so in and of course the other benefits
in terms of improving focus increasing energy and reducing pain all sounded great as well let's
start off today talking about what pmf therapy is and some of the studies that have been done on it
what is pemf as i said at the start pemf stands for pulsed electromagnetic field
but what does that mean basically this technology uses very specific frequencies and sends them
out impulses your brain then syncs with these frequencies so by using the correct ones you
can obtain a certain state of mind the neorhythm for example has seven functions sleep pain control
focus theta meditation meditation for calming deep relaxation and energy and vitality
there are other ways to achieve these frequencies of course meditation has been shown to increase
alpha brain waves and decrease beta even music played at certain frequencies can change your
brain waves as i said earlier i am particularly interested in optimizing sleep so that was one
of the areas i first researched in regards to pemf one double-blind placebo-controlled study
tested the impact pemf would have on people with insomnia the group that was using pemf
saw significant improvements across the board they fell asleep faster woke up less during the night
and were less tired when they did wake up now i will also mention that the placebo group
saw improvements as well but the group using pemf saw significantly greater ones in terms
of reducing pain pemf uses frequencies that recharge our mitochondria which produces energy
in our cells this is kind of similar to red light therapy which i have talked about in other videos
red light therapy also stimulates the mitochondria to increase cellular energy but it does so in a
different way now in regards to pain reduction and pemf therapy there have also been a lot of studies
done one review paper looked at studies done on participants who used the therapy after plastic
surgery they concluded pemf therapy has been used successfully in the management of post-surgical
pain another meta-analysis done that looked at people with osteoarthritis found that the pemf
group showed more significant pain alleviation than the sham group in knee osteoarthritis
and hand osteoarthritis pmf has also been shown to reduce muscle soreness post exercise so clearly
there is something to it but now let's get into my experience first impressions as i mentioned at the
start i have been using the neorhythm for about a month mainly for sleep but also for meditation
and focus as well my first impression of the device was that the design was clean the packaging
was nice and the instructions were straightforward omniperf recommends wearing the headband
in different positions based on what state of mind you are trying to achieve the app that goes
with the neorhythm is also easy to use allowing you to pick the mode you want the length of time
and then instructing you how to wear the headband there is also the option to turn off the light
the vibration and the bluetooth once the session has started now here is where i ran into a bit
of difficulty connecting the device to the app was simple enough but when it came to actually
starting the session i ran into some trouble one tap is meant to wake the device and then
once you have selected your session two taps is meant to start it one tap wakes the device up
and once it is connected you are supposed to tap two times to start the session and the device will
vibrate to confirm now this was kind of hit and miss sometimes i would double tap and it
would start right away other times i would have to continuously keep tapping it before it would start
and sometimes it wouldn't start at all i tried to look up if i was tapping it wrong and couldn't
really find any information on the issue so maybe this was just me and the thing is that once it has
started there is no way to tell by just looking at the device alone the neo rhythm does come with
a magnetic field and frequency tester though if you put this against the device and then put your
ear against the other end you will hear a very faint tapping sound if the session has begun i
will say that i wish they had this somehow built in so you didn't even need the tester
but since it's not i'm glad that they did include this the device itself is comfortable enough
and they do include extra padding if the fit isn't quite right okay but enough about the device
itself what were my results so i use this device mainly in three ways under my pillow when i slept
i wore it when i was meditating and i wore it when trying to focus and get work done first off let's
talk about sleep there are two sleep settings on the neo rhythm there is a 20 minute one and that
is meant to help you fall asleep and then there's an eight hour option and if you choose this one
you keep the neo rhythm under your pillow so you don't have to actually physically wear the device
all night which is good and as i mentioned earlier you are able to turn the bluetooth off when the
session is running but especially on nights when i had a lot on my mind or maybe my wind down routine
wasn't the best that it was easier to fall asleep whereas previously in these situations i might
have tossed and turned a bit before finally dozing off the other thing i noticed was that i was able
to sleep more consistently through the night waking up less often i am a pretty light sleeper
so my cat running around or my boyfriend coming into bed late these are things that
would usually wake me up but i found i was able to sleep more soundly with neo-rhythm of course
this could have just been a coincidence the one study i mentioned earlier even the placebo group
did see an improvement so i can't say for sure of course but i did see positive changes
meditation as for with meditation and i think this is something that a lot of us can relate to
meditation is hard to sit down and clear your mind not think about anything for even just five
minutes that is very difficult i try to meditate every day for a minimum of five minutes some days
are definitely easier than others but i will say that using the neo rhythm i had a lot less days
where i wanted to quit entirely by that i mean sometimes i'll start a meditation i'll sit down
and one minute in i'll just be like i'm not feeling this at all turn the meditation off
and just get up and get on with my day and i also found i was able to sit a bit more still
not fidget as much and i was able to focus on the meditation and not get distracted by thoughts or
noises as much focus so similar to what i noticed with the meditation i found that it was easier and
quicker to get focused when i was using the neorhythm some days i will sit down to work
usually i'm planning videos like this one or posts for other social media or my online programs
and i just won't be able to get started i'll open instagram i'll check my emails a hundred times
basically just procrastinating like there's no tomorrow but if i sat down with the intention
to get work done and i put the neorhythm on in the focused setting i was able to get started a
lot quicker and with a lot less resistance and i think this all just comes back to
being able to reach your desired state of mind faster so yes something like meditation on its own
can help you to reach this desired state of mind but with the neo rhythm it seems to happen faster
using a tool like this really is a biohack you are hacking your biology to make your life easier
to save time and to get things done faster so my final thoughts on the neorhythm this has been
a really interesting rabbit hole to go down like i said before the concept of brain entrainment
was new to me and i'm so happy to have learned about it because at the end of the day this is
just another tool for your toolbox that can help you to get one step closer to the most optimal
version of yourself and as i mentioned earlier i did struggle a bit with the gesture controls
maybe that was just me though but i think i would have preferred a button instead
so do i think that everyone needs to go out right now and buy the neorhythm
maybe not i do think that pmf therapy can be beneficial after looking at the research and
experiencing some subjective results myself if there is an area of your health that you were
struggling with trouble sleeping trouble focusing maybe some chronic pain it's definitely worth
looking into and trying out i will mention that there is a 60 day money back guarantee and free
shipping worldwide so there really is no risk in trying it i will link all of the details in the
