    "concept_summary": "A night-long exposure system that delivers very-weak, pulsed DC electromagnetic fields (~=2-10 Hz, especially 9.6-10 Hz) to the whole body. The fields mimic natural Schumann resonances, entrain brain waves, and stimulate mitochondria, leading to higher ATP synthesis, reduced reactive oxygen species, enhanced enzyme activity, and, according to the author, a reversal of cellular DNA aging signatures.",
