Learn how to tune into your true self and inner power by harnessing quantum energy to ward off EMFs and increase your energetic vibration. Quantum Upgrade sponsored this episode. Founder and CEO, Philipp Samor von Holtzendorff-Fehling, shares how you can reduce EMFs and increase quantum energy in your personal spaces.He joined the show previously to bring you the science and benefits of quantum energy and energy frequencies. You’ll want to take a listen to episodes #890 and #1013 to learn more. This time, he explains how you can harness quantum energy via a remote service. Skeptical? Here’s how it all works.Through years of research and development in tandem with its sister company, Leela Quantum, Quantum Upgrade has created a powerful source of usable quantum energy.By using quantum entanglement, Quantum Upgrade has been shown to improve the function of heart rate variability, ATP production, and blood, among other things. Philipp mentions a recent study that found this quantum technology increased cellular activity by 20%, which has implications for athletes—a bioenergy-hacking tool!—and wound healing. Everyday EMF radiation creates incoherent frequencies that put stress on the human body. This creates biological disharmony and depletes you of quantum energy. The Quantum Upgrade technology “tunes” your environment to surround you with optimal level of usable quantum energy—at all times. When you join the subscription service, Quantum Upgrade “associates” you, your home, phone, business, or even your pet with this energy source.The remote service has been tested through randomized sham-controlled double-blind studies, and Quantum Upgrade has worked with independent testing institutes and labs to test their products. Whether you’re new to exploring the benefits of quantum energy or already have some experience with quantum frequencies, there’s a subscription fit for you.Watch this episode on YouTube!Find research, links, and resources in the show notes.SPECIAL OFFER FOR THE HUMAN UPGRADE LISTENERS: Go to https://quantumupgrade.io and use the code DAVE to get a FREE 15-day trial of the Quantum Upgrade subscription service.Also check out Quantum Upgrade and Leela Quantum at the 9th Annual Biohacking Conference: https://biohackingconference.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

He firmly believes that curiosity is the elixir of life.He also explores the paradigm shift in company culture, where focusing on “cultural add” rather than “cultural fit” can foster innovation and diversity.

Chip earned the name “Modern Elder” in a surreptitious way through his work with much younger employees. Airbnb looked to Chip’s sustained success in the hospitality space and asked him to help transform their start-up into the world’s leading hospitality brand more than a decade ago. He came on to lead Global Hospitality and Strategy.Then 52, he was twice the age of the average Airbnb employee. This earned him the title “Airbnb's Modern Elder” who was as curious as he was wise. He’s currently the company’s Strategic Advisor for Hospitality and Leadership.That experience influenced Chip to create the Modern Elder Academy—a new roadmap for midlife and learning opportunities—at an oceanfront campus in Baja California Sur, Mexico.
