Human health is deeply influenced by biofrequencies, electromagnetic fields (EMFs), and nervous system regulation—yet most people never consider how modern technology affects sleep, energy, posture, and performance.

In this episode of Staying Relevant, Tom Swales sits down with Nicolas Desjardins, founder of Q Technology and Academie Neuera, to explore how biofrequency-based technology may help regulate the nervous system, improve recovery, and protect the body from EMF exposure.

Nicolas has spent over six years developing and testing bioenergetic devices designed to harmonize human frequency with the Earth’s natural electromagnetic fields, including the Schumann resonance. His work bridges neuroscience, posture, sleep optimization and human performance without forceful mechanical intervention.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn

▫️ How EMF exposure may impact the nervous system and sleep quality

▫️ Why the Earth’s Schumann frequency plays a role in human regulation

▫️ How biofrequency devices may influence posture, muscle tone, and recovery

▫️ Brainwave data showing changes in focus, learning, and athletic performance

▫️ Why working with the nervous system can outperform mechanical correction

This episode is ideal for clinicians, performance coaches and health-conscious individuals interested in nervous system optimization, sleep technology, bioenergetics and human performance.

🎯 Watch to the end for real-world testing insights and performance outcomes.
