Can frequency healing support better health? In this episode of Energize & Revitalize with Dr. Amy, Mike Upstone, President of Keep Health Research and author of three books on frequency healing, explains the science and philosophy behind home-use frequency devices.

With 18 years of hands-on experience evaluating energy healing technologies and training people in energy and frequency healing technologies, Michael has worked with everything from Russian space-medicine-derived devices like ENS and SCENAR, to soft lasers, hydrogen therapy, healing blankets, and brain training systems. He's helped hundreds of people - from those with chronic pain and long-term injuries to complex cases that conventional medicine had written off. In his new Beginner's Guide, Michael cuts through the hype in the rapidly growing frequency healing field. He shares remarkable real-world results - including rapid healing of 3rd-degree burns, disappearing blood blisters, leg ulcers that healed after years of suffering, stroke recoveries, and even improvements in eyesight and macular degeneration. But he also gives readers the critical knowledge most sources leave out: how to avoid tolerance and healing crises, the importance of proper dosing, why "more is not always better," and how to intelligently combine modalities for far better outcomes. His second book backs this with a holistic strategy for improving health outcomes. Michael brings a grounded, down-to-earth, and straightforward approach that combines the best of frequency technologies with nutrition, detoxification, and quantum principles.
