83 - Reduce Pain & Increase Sports Performance Using Microcurrent Therapy with Ian Thirkell
This week, I spoke with Ian Thirkell about microcurrent technology and how it can be used to help reduce pain and repair damaged tissues in the body as well as other health benefits which have been experienced anecdotally.
I'm not one for gadgets when it comes to health. However, after being introduced to the Arc4Health device by Dr Tina Peers in episode 59, I was intrigued and wanted to find out more, so I reached out to Ian to ask him to come on the show to discuss it.
