Rockets reach orbit; Vibe reaches people… and that feels bigger than any launch I ever worked on.
– Mark Lee Fox
From rocket engines to resonant healing: former space-shuttle chief engineer Mark Lee Fox has spent nearly three decades translating pulsed-electromagnetic-field (PEMF) science into everyday wellness tools. Now the founder of Resona Health and inventor of Vibe, the world’s first pocket-sized PEMF device, Mark shares why coherent frequencies may soon be as common as smartphones, how his technology is changing lives (and saving pets), and what’s next in frequency-based health care.
In this in-depth interview with host and wellness advocate Stacey Chillemi, Mark explains the engineering behind calm brains, flexible joints, and balanced vagus nerves, while offering a rare glimpse into the data, the setbacks, and the “goose-bump moments” that keep him pushing frequency medicine forward.
Thank you so much for joining us! Our readers would love to get to know you a bit better. Can you tell us a bit about your backstory?
I spent years chasing decimal-point improvements in shuttle propulsion, until my mountain-running shepherd mix couldn’t climb the stairs. A vet sent us to an Oregon clinic using PEMF; my dog walked out pain-free. Soon after, I watched the same tech help veterans with PTSD. That pivoted my entire career: I traded liquid hydrogen for lithium-ion batteries and vowed to make drug-free frequency therapy accessible to every household and barn in the country.
What convinced you to leave the space-shuttle world for health tech?
Rockets reach orbit; PEMF reaches people. Engineering a flawless launch is exhilarating, but nothing compares to seeing chronic pain dissolve or a trauma survivor finally sleep. Once I witnessed that, I knew my skill set belonged in human (and canine) wellness more than in launch pads.
Twenty-seven years of research is a haul. What kept you going?
Relentless curiosity , and proof that refused to go away. Each time skepticism crept in, another peer-reviewed study or firsthand testimonial landed on my desk. I built prototypes in my garage, refined waveforms, tested on friends, families, horses, you name it … until the results were too consistent to ignore.
What is the Vibe device in plain English?
A 2.4-ounce PEMF powerhouse that slips into your pocket yet runs sixty targeted protocols, from Anxiety and Sleep to Horse Colic. There are no subscriptions, no bulky mats, and no wires. You charge, press play, and let coherent frequencies nudge your cells back to balance while you live your life.
You claim a 98 % success rate in the largest PTSD PEMF study. How did you pull that off?
Scale plus specificity. We keep enrolling veterans and first-responders, pairing theta/alpha frequencies with vagus-nerve toning, then tracking heart-rate variability and symptom logs. The result has hovered around 98 % relief for years because the waveform precisely calms the fight-or-flight loop.
Stacey and Lisa both felt instant calm when using the Vibe. What’s happening under the hood?
Modern life delivers 46,000 stressors a day. Vibe feeds the nervous system the same rhythms the brain produces in deep relaxation: 7–12 Hz alpha and 4–8 Hz theta. Cortisol eases, shoulders drop, and clarity returns, often within minutes.
Why focus so heavily on the vagus nerve?
It’s the master control cable between the brain and organs. When toned properly, unexplained gut issues, fatigue, and racing heartbeats often subside. Independent labs have confirmed that Vibe measurably improves vagal tone, an objective marker of resilience.
Does this device have any side effects?
None in the drug-commercial sense. If users binge twenty sessions and feel wiped out, that’s simply the body asking for integration time. Scale back and the fatigue disappears.
How much use of the vibe is too much?
You can’t overdose on coherent fields, but you can outpace recovery. Our initial 30-minute session boosted sleep and HRV. I run an hour every other day; most users land somewhere between thirty minutes daily and a few times a week.
You tackled Lyme disease with frequencies. What did you discover?
Delta-band (1–4 Hz) PEMF kills Borrelia, but full power triggered harsh detox reactions. We now begin mid-range, add a toxin-flush protocol, retone the vagus nerve, then incrementally increase intensity, delivering results without misery.
What does the new VEGA Vibe watch measure?
HRV, resting heart rate, sleep stages, blood pressure, SpO₂, glucose trends, and a composite stress score. Early pilots showed AFib time dropping from 97 % to 2 % in thirty minutes, so we’re launching a cloud-connected clinical trial to capture large-scale data.
Give us a goose-bump story.
A husband applied the Brain-Balance protocol to his wife, who hadn’t spoken in two years; she began conversing the next day. A 17-year-old with Tourette’s lost her tics, landed her first date, and later sent me wedding photos. Those moments eclipse every rocket launch I ever worked on.
Does this really work on pets and horses, too?
Absolutely. Slip the same unit into a dog bandana or horse neck strap and watch ears relax, lips lick, and anxiety fade. Animals can’t fake a placebo, so their calm body language is as honest as it gets.
What new gadgets are on deck?
A dual 40 Hz light-and-magnetic Alzheimer’s headset (research first, sales second), a triple-peptide wrinkle cream infused with anti-aging frequencies, and a magnesium-rich PEMF Booster electrolyte mix to maximize cellular response.
How does Vibe compare to big PEMF mats and subscription wearables?
It’s 152× smaller than a Beamer mat, rides shotgun on a mountain hike, and carries zero recurring fees. I actually built a subscription model, hated it, and scrapped it — because wellness shouldn’t come with a monthly ransom.
Skeptics are loud on social. Your answer?
I call it “Bozone,” that invisible gas that blocks new ideas. My response: Try Vibe. If it doesn’t help, send it back, and I will personally Zelle the refund. Data beats debate every single time.
Readers ask most about anxiety, sleep, and inflammation. Quick-start guide?
For sleep, run the 45-minute Sleep protocol an hour before bed. For anxiety, stack Anxiety, Vagus-Nerve, and Relax & Balance (add PTSD if trauma is involved). For inflammation, General Inflammation is the universal go-to, addressing what I believe underpins 80 % of chronic issues.
Why bundle electrolytes and magnesium?
Magnesium is the cellular spark-plug. Studies show PEMF works better when Mg²⁺ levels are optimal, yet most diets fall short. Our PEMF Booster drink tops you off, ensuring every pulse lands with maximum potency.

Mark, thank you for sharing such eye-opening insights and for making this technology accessible to everyone… two-legged and four-legged alike.
Thank you, Stacey. It’s always a pleasure to chat with someone who’s just as passionate about empowering people to take charge of their health. I appreciate the opportunity to spread the word.
