Every week, my inbox fills up with questions like, “Freddie, what do you think of this gadget?” In a world overflowing with wellness tech—hydrogen water, PEMF, lymphatic suits—it’s hard to know what’s real and what’s just shiny marketing. So I’m laying it all out.

This episode breaks down the six core principles I use to evaluate technology: science and safety, lifestyle compatibility, value versus hype, brand reliability, longevity, and remembering the most important truth—your body does the healing. Whether you're a practitioner or just starting your wellness journey, these tips will help you make smart, aligned decisions with your energy, time, and dollars.
