In early 1998, Justin Frandson read an article in the newspaper about one of the greatest pioneers of Sports Performance, Dean Brittenham at Scripps Clinic, La Jolla California, making athletes better athletes through the most creative approaches. The article raved about the track-based speed and power program with stretching, coordination drills, ambidexterity, balance, strength, and more. Justin visited the prestigious location, and started his passion and gifts of facilitating athletic development with athletes and teams of all ages and levels. The article spoke of high school athletes becoming D1 athletes and D1 athletes turning pro. Justin's past and current clientele list consists of many of the highest ranked professional athletes in the US.
The results are instant and tangible in every athlete, no matter their sport. The workouts take even the best athletes in the world out of their coordination comfort zone, to develop more neuroplasticity, in-turn developing more pathways from the brain to the body. This infinite flow consistently brings athletes and performers to their ideal Alpha brainwave state for superior performances. This nerve work and brain coordination entrainment to develop performance is the essence of ATHLETICISM.
In addition to Justin being blessed with an exceptional mentor who was one of the foremost pioneers in Sports Performance, Justin has the innate gifts of developing human performance and seeing things others don't. He has the gifts of intuition and healing to facilitate in optimizing nerve health for injury prevention, recovery, and performance. His sensory nerve treatments for vision and spatial awareness double as concussion protocol. He is known for facilitating getting sports concussions back faster than ever.

Welcome back to the Mindset Forge Podcast. I'm Barton Bryan, your host. Thanks again for watching or listening if you're listening to this on one of the apps, but hey, let's dive in here this week Fantastic episode. We're going to be talking about EMFs, right, electromagnetic fields, and how that actually affects our brainwaves, our ability to sleep, performance, and how technology specifically phones, watches and other kind of performance tools can actually be a deficit to the type of performance we want to show up for, because we need to have our brains, our bodies, kind of tuned in to be ready to be at our best, and that is not just for elite athletes, that's for everybody. So this interview is really fantastic. I learned a lot and there's actually a really great fascial kind of ring out stretch that I had him take me through, which we'll do in this podcast episodes. I have been doing it not just by myself but with my clients to really help the thoracic rotation and mobility and specifically the fascia of the back, just get a little bit healthier and mobile and so highly recommend it for you. So you'll find that in the episode, about 42 minutes in. So be on the lookout for that. Other than that, we got the Biohackers World Conference coming up April 6th and 7th here in Austin, texas. So if you haven't checked that out, look in the show notes. Use the 60% off promo code.

I always just say you know, whatever you listen to usually Spotify and Apple podcasts are good ones to put a review on, but you could also do something elsewhere. It just really helps, and so thank you, mary, for doing that. Big shout out to you.
Speaker 1:But today is all about Justin Franson, right? He's from Southern California, he's a surfer, he's an athlete himself and he's really spent the last 30 years focused on helping athletes and understanding how to really help people get their best for performance. He's got a book called Athleticism and he's got a website, athleticismcom, that really goes into his philosophy the use of grounding rocks, the use of, just like getting our bodies to, you know, to really meditate and rest in the proper kind of wavelengths. Because of phones, because of, you know, everything that we're using that has batteries, it's just putting out, you know, a frequency that our brains have to kind of take in and understand, and so when we try to rest and recover, sometimes that's not actually possible because we're very sensitive to these wavelengths and our body doesn't really get back to what that kind of wavelength they need to be to be able to rest and recover and get into parasympathetic recovery. So we go into a lot of stuff. It's awesome.
Speaker 1:I think you're going to enjoy this interview. I love talking to this guy. I didn't know him before but as I did research on him and we spoke last week, I became a fan so and he sent me a nice little gift pack with a whole bunch of his, his stuff that he uses with his athletes, and so definitely check out athleticismcom. You can find his book there and he's got other things that you can utilize to help your body recover and be at its best. All right, without further ado, my interview with Justin Franson. Justin, thanks for being on the Mindset Forge podcast. Tell us about EMF the electromagnetic fields and how you understand that, like the whole kind of world of EMF, and how that can help us.
Speaker 2:Yeah, thanks for having me on, barton.
Speaker 2:I started out of Scripps Clinic in La Jolla a year old stomping grounds from your San Diego state days and we were at working with amateur professional athletes, and so I was doing nerve work for sports performance, treating concussions, and I started athleticismcom almost 30 years ago, and what I saw were some of our athletes wearing wearable technology and breaking down from it, and so one of them in particular, barton, was like one of the strongest fit of skies to come in our program, and he's Justin.
Speaker 2:I pain in my wrist and I said what's he on? Ec points right to where his smartwatch was, and that was just after the time that they had recalled all those Fitbits and all that stuff, and so I'm going to take the radiation off your wrist and the pain went away instantly and then his arm function started to slowly return and so, literally, that was the aha moment. So it was over a dozen years ago where I just had to look into a deeper understanding of how we work with nature and how we're one with it, and how different the man made way forms are.
Speaker 1:And so how does that relate to the electromagnetic fields and what we're getting from nature in terms of like I always felt being a so cowboy, like every time I went to the ocean and swam and like body surf, there was a level of energy and rejuvenation that I was almost palpable. Yeah, maybe that's a little who who, but tell me what your thoughts are on like why this stuff works and why getting away from technology and getting back to us more powerful source can work.
Speaker 2:Definitely so. You're exactly right. There's a way that nature and we're one with nature and that she helps recharge our body batteries, if you will. So being out into nature is probably one of the most medicinal medicinal ways to facilitate healing, and it's one of the most missed, recommended ways to heal, and so the physics behind it is what we'll start with. We're made off of wave forms that are unpolarized, so our bodies have a bio energy, a bioelectric field, like an energy field, and it goes out about six to eight feet and it's not just six to eight feet out of my straight out of my right ear and a straight line. It's a resonance that goes all around us, and it's same as the nature's resonance, like the sun is in a laser dot coming out of a laser beam coming down out of the sky, or we wouldn't be here. Same as if you're standing outside barefoot excuse me, you're not in the Schumann resonance here and then not in it here. It's literally a resonance that just is constant throughout the entire earth.
Speaker 1:Justin, real quick the Schumann resonance. Now this is. I know this because I've meditated to this sound. But for somebody who does not know what the Schumann resonance is, why don't you just give them a quick definition or overview?
Speaker 2:Yes, the Schumann resonance is essentially the healing pulse of the earth and it's measured at about 7.83 Hertz or waves per second. So what I'm alluding to is every living organism, including our planet, has a resonance, and the resonances are based off of waveforms that are unpolarized, so we have this oneness with it. And, to the contrary, all non-native waveforms are one directional. And at the end of the day, that is the major difference is, if I dropped a pebble in a pond, the splash of the pond goes out in a circular direction, in every direction, an unpolarized wave. It doesn't go in a straight line. One direction. That is the framework for every living resonance.
Speaker 2:And to second, that is when we're sleeping, barton, our brain wave states are really one with the universe. So we rev at a low and slow brain wave state. So if you measure a brain wave state, it's they call it Delta, theta brain wave state. When we're sleeping, it's that restorative state we get in a rapid eye movement, it's a. The lucid dreams come out. Our brain goes into one or below one to eight hertz or waves per second. So that's the 7.83 hertz or waves per second. So I take the hertz and convert it into waves per second. It's literally the same as the universe.
Speaker 2:When we're in a deep restorative state, sleep. And now, when our athletes are in the flow state, they're in the alpha state, which is eight to about 13 hertz or waves per second. So when we're in the flow state we're really close to the resonance of the earth and essentially one with the pulse of it, that flow of that infinite flow, that rhythm that we can get into. Now these cell phones ping us at 2.45 billion waves per second. At a minimum 5G is 60 to 90 billion waves per second. So there's a 10 zero differential. You had 10 zeros to a bank account. That's a big difference. You had 10 zeros to a speed of a one-directional waveform to our body field. It'll chip away at that to mess with the chemistry of our body, without a shadow of the doubt.
Speaker 1:Now okay, and so somebody who maybe doesn't know much about this, who's listening? Who's okay? Bar, you and Justin, you've lost me here. Why is this important? And you work with a lot of athletes and also lay people too, so we're going to talk about both, but talk about how this really can make an impact on how we show up for fitness, show up for sports or whatever Like. How does this that then like transition into, like the impact it makes on us?
Speaker 2:So with athletes, the easiest way to get them better is to get rid of the stressors. Just as I did with the radiation on that athlete's wrist, the same is true in their environment, at their home or just out and about, If they're being inundated on waveforms that are polarizing and weakening their energy field. Bruce Lipton will say your chi is indicative of your health. If your energy field is disrupted, your chemistry in your body, the secondary effect will be that's disrupted. So what happens? What we've seen is the sleep gets disrupted. So if you have your cell phone right next to your bed or on your bed or under your pillow when you're sleeping, what happens is we go into these twilight sleeps. So your brain tries to figure out what bandwidth that is. That's pinging at over 2.45 billion waves per second, and so it doesn't get into that low and slow state of eight or below waves per second. And what happens is our endocrine system is disrupted, or that disrupts our, which is a pineal gland, is directly correlated with that. It destructures our water. It's basically like someone's tapping you on your shoulder saying Barton, talk to me, you're going, it's three in the morning, Like I got to go to sleep, and that's what the brain goes to. That's why we, like we'll jump out of bed when these phones just are resetting or pinging or searching for a signal.
Speaker 2:So if you mess with someone's hormones and the replenishment of their body and the melatonin gets disrupted, their endocrine system gets disrupted. That's going to directly affect their cognitive. The next day. They're not going to be as alert or where focus. And then on a top of it, maybe they have a 5G tower or something nearby and then that's disrupting them while they're playing. So then they have the cognitive challenges of dealing with that stressor as well. And then what happens over extended period of time what I've seen is about 10 years is the breaking point. So with about 10 years then you see people break down from it, not just being cognitive challenges, but going into the more severe stuff of all the bigs cancer, suicide, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, cardiovascular disease and then infertility is another big one. Now.
Speaker 1:So another reason to get off your cell phone is what you're saying.
Speaker 2:So many reasons.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there's so many reasons let's talk about elite athletes because I think sometimes as much as it's not as relatable to think about an Olympic athlete or a professional athlete based on somebody who's just living their everyday life, like, sometimes it takes looking at somebody who's really trying to achieve at the highest level to understand why they would do without certain things and they would enhance certain aspects of their training and things like that. When you're dealing with a high level athlete, besides just pulling technology off them get off your phone, get off, pick your watch off what are some things you're doing to help them get as close as they can to that human residence and those types of things to help them recover and get to flow state better, if that's a part of their performance and what they're trying to achieve when they perform. Like, how are you doing those types of things?
Speaker 2:Oh, that's an awesome question. It's loaded. The first thing I do is say, yeah, let's look at your environment. And so I ask everyone what's your environment? And it's a tough thing to answer. It's everything around you and it can allow you to thrive or it could kill you. And that environment could be external from basically all the external factors of EMF in your space. Or if we're in LA and it's polluted, there's all that pollution stuff but then it also can be internal. And so what are you feeding your body? Are you feeding your body just crappy food that's modified with chemicals and glyphosate and your body doesn't know what to do with it? So we start with really understanding your environment and how you're feeding yourself and how you become one with that environment.
Speaker 2:We definitely want to recharge them. So I'll use an example of someone like that as a concussion. So if someone comes in with a concussion, I'm going to basically recharge them, because they lose their polarity when something gets knocked that hard. And then we're going to do Rehydrate them, because I think there's an epidemic of chronic dehydration, as one of our colleagues that, gary Lineham, will say, and when you're dehydrated you cramp, your fascia doesn't move as efficiently and what happens is you just the glue factory sets in. For guys that are in our age bracket, the 40 to 60 bracket, it's a fascia being dehydrated. That's the single biggest challenge. So if we can keep that excuse me hydration early on for these guys through adding silica in the body through dietimaceous earth which has silica in it, which is basically crushed seashells, add that in and then our CMOS is another great one to get the minerals back in. That will help hydrate the individuals. So I look at excuse me, I look at the environment and then I look at how to hydrate them and keep their fascia really hydrated and pliable and then do fascia maneuvers and then do stretching and breath work combined with it.
Speaker 2:One of the big things we do where our athleticism program is really different than a lot of the other sports, sports performance programs out there in the market is we have one of the only amidexterity programs out there. So we teach people how to be a whole body, whole brain performer, and I wrote a book on it and we have teach people how to juggle and have an array of eye, hand exercises and protocols that get you into that infinite flow, that figure eight, infinite flow of the universe. So when you're in that zone and in that flow you don't miss. You just basically stay in your realm and I know we both played basketball early on. That's you get on the court those days where you just can't miss. That's the flow state that we look to get our athletes in through understanding environment, in brainwave states and how they're one with each other and then staying hydrated and then allowing them to connect it to moving and semi-circles and figure eights and then doing exercises like juggling that also elicit a figure eight movement system.
Speaker 1:I like that because I think specifically basketball, like we can be very I'm left-handed, I was very left-hand dominant. It was great. On the left side I had a few right-handed move, but for the most part very left-hand dominant and I spent an entire summer just only shooting with my right hand because at some point it became a problem. And but, yeah, I like how you're trying to integrate, because you got the right and left brain or left side Folks is more on the right side, left brain, right side of the body and vice versa and all that kind of stuff and you're trying to it sounds like integrate at all to help that person create that figure eight, which is a great kind of way to see that flow, state of like energy passing through a figure eight.
Speaker 1:So it's what I'm hearing from you and, for those of you listening, he's really looking at where is this person at, what do they need? Where are they deficient? And not just talking about macros and let's give them some vitamin C or some creatine, but like, where's he deficient in his? The hydration is fascia and so, talked about. You mentioned crushed up seashells. I'm imagining that you're getting a lot of sodium and other like kind of base minerals from that. Where have you determined that works better than Himalayan sea salt or whatever the salt of the day is? At Whole Foods?
Speaker 2:Yeah, cause their body's about 25% silica. So when you can add back in exactly what we have, you're going to get hydrated more optimally and it's not to take away from Celtic sea salt or zeolite or or iris Seamoth you're getting those minerals from the sea back in your system as well. You got to load up on minerals. If you just literally had clean intake and clean water, like more like spring water, even structure it, that's great. And then added diatomaceous earth, iris Seamoth and you can add in some magnesium, whatever, like literally, you don't need to do much more for your health than to add in fascia maneuvers and understand how the fascia works and the way it works. From Gary Lineham's work is through counter rotation and counter rotation means basically you're going to hug yourself right leg goes across your left leg, right arms goes under and then you twist like a golf swing, one way in your head looks the other way and so and then you breathe, three through your nose, three through your mouth. When you can unwind those fascial adhesions and allow it to create space in there and then give it the proper nutrients to hydrate it, your body's going to heal. It's phenomenal.
Speaker 2:So it's the most incredible free system to heal and elevate performance, because everyone looks at our body differently. So what they're looking at, barton, is they're looking at it as like a pulley system and that bones are structure. Bones only touch each other in three parts of the body and your teeth and your ribs. It just. It doesn't make sense that they're structure. The fascia is the structure. The fascia is everything in your body. Everything is built in inside of the fascia, and so when we can figure out how to unwind it and I feel Gary Lionham's done that and his system's called Human Garage that is the way to help facilitate healing and performance. It's just through fashion maneuvers and hydrating yourself, and that's why silica is so effective.
Speaker 1:I've heard. Obviously physical therapy is always injury or soft tissue stuff. Oh, I got to go do my PT or prehab. Now it's always the challenge with it all Is that really the root cause?
Speaker 1:So many times, being a trainer, people come out oh, I've got tendonitis elbow in the elbow, maybe it's tennis elbow or golfers elbow, some version of that and I'm like yeah, how's your neck? How strong is your rotator cuff? Let's talk about the stuff going on up here that's making your wrists or grip having to do. You're doing too much with your arms. But oftentimes they go in and the PT will just give them exercises to strengthen their forearm and their wrists and such. And I just I feel like that's a challenge with our society. We want to spot, fix the body when the body as an organism is a system. So I had a guy on about six months ago who was a fascial expert and he was talking. He explained it like the fascia of your body is like a wetsuit, that the kind of, and that if your fascia is knotted up or something, it's like almost like somebody sewed the wetsuit too tight on one part of your body and it just hard to move correctly. But go ahead.
Speaker 1:So, your point of view. I just like the analogy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's good analogy, for sure it's a pressured system in the body is how it works. So, excuse me, and when you can ring it out, I think of it like a wet towel as well, where if that towel is just sopping wet, it's just. Here's a wet towel analogy. It's a perfect example of it. Your body just gets weighed down and it does. It's restricted, it's heavy, and you can ring it out and allow it to still have form and structure but be fluid and pliable and absorptive.
Speaker 2:That's where the fascia works and through these fascial maneuvers that Gary's really brought to the world, it's free and you can unwind the stuff and you can heal anything. And it's not so the soft tissue that the docs do. That's great. They can open up the stuff. And there's, if I'm going to work a pack, I'll pull the skin down on my pack and then twist the arm and turn my head every direction and breathe and breathe, and all of a sudden I'll have so much more range of motion in my arm. So there are localized fascia maneuvers that you could do throughout your body to unwind the fascial adhesions, to get more circulation in there.
Speaker 2:But at the end of the day, what you really want to do is is have the whole body pressured system and when you're twisting and contracting your abdominals and your bladder and all that stuff, you, you create pressure and you're like literally ringing that towel out and then through the breath you're breathing it in and what happens is the body gets more powerful and expansive and the fascia gets stronger and has developed more connective connections, I feel.
Speaker 2:And so what I've seen doing that type of work is I've gotten healthier, stronger and faster, and I'm. I surf that's one of my things I love to do, but I never was a swimmer, like a racer swimmer, and I'm beating guys that are like seasoned swimmers in the pool that used to be able to beat me and now I'm blowing them away by half a body length, like it's crazy, but it when you could beat a true swimmer by half a body length on a 25 sprint. That's massive. So those are the types of gains that you'll see when you start to look at hydrating the fascia and doing these maneuvers and adding breath work in.
Speaker 1:All right. So I like to get practical when something really valuable pops up like this. You've mentioned it a little bit, but let's do it right now. So if you're listening to this podcast and you're not driving not a time to do it If you're sitting somewhere where you can do this and have focus, why don't you talk just and talk me and the listeners through this fascial ring out?
Speaker 2:Yeah. So go ahead and stand and cross your right leg over your left leg. If you're seated, you can still cross it and do it seated. Put your right arm under your left and then put your left arm across, yeah, and hold your shoulders. There you go, and now you're going to do a golf swing to the left and then your head looks to the right. So I'm looking at you. Now let's do contract your stomach and do three breaths through your nose, what's one? Contract your stomach? That's three. Now three through your mouth Contract. Now let's do three pursed lip breaths, deep breaths, good. Contract your stomach and then three pursed, that's two. And contract and three. Now slowly release, slowly release. You should feel a little lighter, little more energy flowing, and so it's you do that on both sides, or is it you?
Speaker 2:would do both sides, so you'd rotate the other way, and then you would switch legs and then arms, right, yeah. So do three, yeah, three, three breath and then three pursed on all sides, and do that every day for 28 days and your life will change in the most positive way. Period, end of story. I guarantee it, and set 30 years of working with amateur professional athletes, as that is the most incredible thing that I could ever show you.
Speaker 1:So you those of you who listen to a lot of podcasts you probably hear these types of things but like, why not do it, why not? Justin is giving us 30 years of his perspective, working with athletes and helping people really fix themselves and get to a higher level. This is this can work for you, so give it a shot. I, justin, thank you for sharing that and, honestly, sometimes it's going to the gym can be so hard for people because an hour and it's sweating. This is a three minute activity once a day for 28 days. Am I correct by that?
Speaker 2:It might, you'll get so into it. It might end up being more like a 20 minute activity and you'll get. You absolutely love it. And so what's gonna happen is it gets you out of a sympathetic nervous system and allows your body to get out of the fight or flight and to start to heal. You're doing so much. You're filling your body with oxygen, nutrients, you're breaking down adhesions, you're pumping that flat tire up is what you're doing, so you're giving yourself more vitality, more energy, and then you're getting out of stress. And so just doing these things is massive for it. And then compliment it with a diatomaceous earth which has a silica in it and get your Irish Seamoss. Find a really quality source human garage sells it. And you guys, that is it. Just 28 days of that. You should just feel absolutely amazing. And there's so many others we could show you.
Speaker 2:I was just chatting with a couple young med students and we were just in the same location at the same time. I had a captive audience, and so, yeah, I met students at Georgetown and I'm like, okay, what do you want to be? What do you want to be? And they're like orthos and this and that, and so I'm like, okay, what do you guys know about the fascia? And they're like, well, you got through it to get the injury. I'm like no, so I was urging them. I'm sitting here, I'm going this will be the best lesson that you've ever had in your entire medical career. And we started doing some fascial maneuvers and I go please ask your instructor, your MD, your professor, if he can make your ears feel that much better instantly, if he can make your shoulder feel that much better instantly, if he can make your knee feel better instantly. Ask him that, ask him how he can make you feel like a hundred percent lighter instantly. And I guarantee you they won't know how to. And if you ask them about fascia, they won't even have any knowledge about it.
Speaker 2:And so we're not taught this stuff. We're not taught about our environment being air, which is ether, plasma, and waves and particles travel through it, and that's how we're able to communicate. And if you change the electrification of our atmosphere, that it affects our body. But there's books like the Invisible Rainbow by Arthur Fuerstenberg that categorizes all the history of electricity and life and every major shift there's effects on our body. So before 1889, we introduced electricity in our homes. There are solar flares and cosmic shifts, atmospheric pressure shifts, our bodies adapted to it.
Speaker 2:After it was electricity and then major electrifications, like when we rolled out radio waves in eight 19,. That was, a lot of people got sick and adapted. And then Hong Kong flu satellites were rolled out, and then World War two radar and then last several years, five G. They literally when they poison your environment, our bodies adapt to it. But they don't teach us that these ways and particles directly affect our REM patterns of our sleep and our hormones and can dehydrate us as well. And then our bodies just are like what the heck is that? And we we end up adapting to it through getting sick because we're detoxing, we're flushing that stuff out.
Speaker 2:So that's, we have to really unlearn so many different facets of our world and unfortunately every major industry has been all for profit and not about really teaching us the right ways to do it. So I'm out there on the cutting edge saying, hey, I have a cool system that we can get you to perform better. But more than anything, I want to raise your level of consciousness so you create to that infinite flow of the universe, you connect to God, you get grounded by the earth and you recharge your body battery properly by breathing in minerals. Hopefully we get it from our food. Drink great water for conductivity, get it from the sun. Get the negative on a charge from the earth. If you're missing any of those elements, that's how our body battery works. If you don't have water and a battery in a car, it dies. It's the same as that system for our body.
Speaker 1:And the thing about it is it's you know this is we can survive. We're the human body is meant to survive almost anything, right, and we are all surviving right now. But to thrive, to be optimal, to optimize your energy, to optimize your sleep, I'm like this is such a big part of this phase of our life because when you're 20, like you're just a big rubber band with energizer battery in the back, you like you're unstoppable. They have those energy you recover. You can have an all night drinking fest with all your buddies and wake up the next morning with two hours of sleep and just run through the day.
Speaker 1:But when you're 40, forget about it. Like 50, I'm about to be 49 in a week and I am in the thick of it and we have to figure this stuff out. We got to figure out how to be, not just survive, not just be okay. We got to be optimal and that's why somebody like Justin coming on here talking to us about this is very, very, very important, and I'm going to say I'm going to incorporate more hydration. I'm going to do these movements, these breath, this kind of breath, fascial, ring out, which, what was the word you use? I like your words better. What is the? What do you call it?
Speaker 2:Exactly, yeah, yeah, exactly, but it's just something you can do right now that can help you be a lot better, especially if you're dealing with some natural things you can do right now.
Speaker 1:That can help you be a lot better, especially if you're dealing with some nagging injuries or just the body gets stiff. We talk about mobility. We talk about range of motion. I just did a yoga class this morning. The person that walked in there and the person that walked out are two completely different people. Mentally, I walked out, light, I walked out.
Speaker 1:There's so much thoracic like ringing out of the stomach and it's like they were on to it thousands of years ago. Obviously, we know so much more now about what that's actually doing for the fascia, but they understood back in the day with yoga that there was an important point to like twisting the trunk and getting that rotational stretch and ringing out the body. And so, literally today, position hold, twisting across the body, holding it there, reaching up, opening up the thoracic Right. It just it was amazing how that changed my perspective, how it changed my body. And so, justin, bringing us this information, what else can my listeners take away? That would be kind of you could go deep into a rabbit hole. 30 years of experience working with athletes and talking about this. There's an infinite amount of information you could give us, but what are? Maybe one or two more things that would just be dynamite for them to grab and take with them.
Speaker 2:The coolest thing, barn is it's free. Get outside into nature and get recharged and regrounded. Outside in nature, go barefoot as much as you can. So on emfroxcom is our site for our grounding bags. I'm on Instagram at emfrox and then at athleticism neuro stacking, but on emfrox I posted a few videos just recently with a meter SLTco meter that stands for safe living technology meter. It's a wireless meter.
Speaker 2:So I was just hanging out in my car and my neighborhood. I was testing my car and my neighborhood was really low emf from the surrounding areas and then I basically I turn on my center console and then the Wi-Fi is on in my car and I had my phone Bluetooth off or Bluetooth. My phone was on airplane mode, bluetooth was off, wi-fi was off. My car is an older car so it doesn't have Wi-Fi. Excuse me, it has Bluetooth. So when the center console goes on, the Bluetooth goes on and it was started pulsing and pinging. Looking for my phone and the meter is like jumping and jumping and it's similar to smart meters on our home. They're wireless meters. They ping every seven to 15 seconds and send all your usage to the substation, onto the gas and electric company. These Bluetooth devices do the same thing, and so my meter is metering extremely high wireless signals and so I'm like that's crazy. So I turn my Bluetooth off and the thing goes down to low. Then I drove and I got gas and I was in the city near my office in Costa Mesa, excuse me. I turn the meter back on and it's extremely high, but everything was off in my car and so I'm like this is our environment, that's around us. So basically we're being inundated at record levels. We're self inducing it with Bluetooth and wireless and all these brand new cars and electric cars they're the worst. I want to get into that after. But this, this Internet of Things outside of us, self inducing smart devices in our world and our smart homes, and all this stuff is really a lot as well. They're rolling out more satellites than ever, dropping phase ray, run one directional beams to connect to these stations and then they're just broadcasting like crazy all over. So our bodies are bathing in wireless electromagnetic radiation and we are electromagnetic beings, but we're on on polarized scalar waves. They're on one directional ways. So it slowly chips away your life first.
Speaker 2:So the best thing you could do is to get out into nature and touch it. Touch a tree, hug a tree, go barefoot, ground yourself as well as you can by getting into bodies of water. And you're so right. I do really well in the ocean. I'm in it pretty much every day, no matter the temperature, no wetsuit. I free dive, I ocean swim, I'll body surf and then I'll surf as well. So I'm in it all the time and your body just heals.
Speaker 2:If you're focused on treating the symptoms oh I have this or that or whatever stop it. Go focus on feeding your soul and recharging your body batteries and those symptoms will go away. It's if you're beating yourself up over I have this disease or that disease, whatever it is like. Literally stop focusing on that and go do your fashion moves, hydrate and go get grounded by nature outside, get into the bodies of water. And when you can't get outside, barton, grab the grounding bags from emfroxcom. And what happens is you bring that coherence into your home, so you create an environment in your home, you bring that resonance in your home and then all of a sudden, these one directional waveforms, these electrical boxes that we call home, they get converted and our bodies accept this stuff. And that's what the grounding bags really help you do so long. Answer to your question get outside in nature and then get the grounding bags when you not outside.
Speaker 1:For some of us. It's cold as hell outside right now, but the spring is a coming, so there's no better time. Whether you're in LA, like you are, you're Costa Mica. I spent so many summers in Newport Beach trying to surf the wedge. My uncle was a big body like back in the wedge crew 70s. He was one of those crazy guys, and so he's always bringing me down there to surf the wedge and but yeah, I which uncle that's one of the names Chuck Gardner.
Speaker 2:Okay, wow.
Speaker 1:In the wedge crew because he was too alpha, he like fought with those guys, but he, him and wedge Mel always fought.
Speaker 2:I don't know, I don't understand it, but they're all broken at this point and that's respect, but they're, they're yeah, much respect, but anyway.
Speaker 1:So, yeah, that I missed that about, about living away from the sea, but it's definitely you could still get out walking on the grass at a park, go walk on a trail, just go out, get around, get underneath the tree and read a book, sit on the ground not just good, it doesn't just sound good, it is actually good for it. And also, hey, leave your phone at home.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:So that's so. I love it, man. Justin, okay, you gave us a little bit of information on how we can reach out to you or how connected you got. You got athleticismcom. We'll put all this in the show notes If you're listening. Don't feel like you got to write this down. Do you have a YouTube channel where people can listen to some more of you? You're talking about this or showing examples of how this stuff works.
Speaker 2:Yeah, justin Franson, we have a lot on there. And then go beyond summitcom. We have all our recorded videos and, yeah, a lot of places. You can find me just punching my name and we'll pop up.
Speaker 1:Hey, do you do any workshops, like for practitioners or like trainers, people that could come out to Southern California and like work with you for a weekend? You do that type of stuff.
Speaker 2:I haven't had many seminars as of late and I'm looking to create an online course so we could teach people the stuff online. I would encourage you to just buy my book right now and when you get that you'll be able to see basically all the fashion maneuvers or not fashion, but exercises that we do for coordination, in that it's basically walks you through the entire system of how we look at an individual. And then for the fashion maneuvers, just go to human garage and but I definitely want you guys to really understand, excuse me, how we're one with the nature and how we connect and how all the stuff interplays and start to tie all these facets of it from exercise to nutrition, hydration, our invisible environment, and then get meters to meter the electricity and dirty electricity and wireless signals. Keep away from electric cars, because sitting on a mass of batteries like 18% lower testosterone, and then convert your smart meter to analog. There's ways that we can coexist in this world to help us stay hydrated.
Speaker 2:And Ibrahim Karim. Last note Ibrahim Karim is a founder of biogeometry. He'll say if there's any climate change, it's mostly from the dehydration from the wireless signals dehydrating our planet. So our bandwidths we're rolling out are really devastating for our environment and us, and you can hear the sound of it when we go underwater. Most humans can't hear it above water, but that's the sound that our body hears, that chips away at us.
Speaker 1:Well, Justin, I have really enjoyed this. I knew I was going to learn something, but I'm just really honored to have this opportunity to talk with you. I hope, as listeners hope, you all took some notes. Definitely go back, maybe listen to that that time when we went through the breath, work and the ringing out of the fashion. You can check the show notes for his links to check out the YouTube channels and get his book. Athleticism, it's whole body, whole mind equals performance. So he is on top of this stuff. Thank Justin, there. It is right there If you're looking. Thank you, brother.
Speaker 2:Thank you, boy.
Speaker 1:And I look forward to learning more about this stuff. For more information about Justin, his programs, athleticismcom, or check out his book. It's called athleticism. I just got it. The man sent me a nice little gift pack to get some, of course, his book in it, some other, some grounding rocks, some different things that I can utilize. So check out his website athleticismcom. Find out more information about him. All right, keep up the good work, everybody. Let's be 1% better each and every week. Thanks again for listening or watching this on YouTube.
