BehindMLM
originally reviewed LifeWave
all the way back in 2013. Back then LifeWave was an MLM company selling weird “improve the flow of energy in the body” patches.
We also weren’t impressed with mandatory product purchases, steering LifeWave towards “buying club” pyramid scheme. Or in today’s terminology, an autoship recruitment model.
At the request of a reader, today BehindMLM is revisiting LifeWave for an updated review.
The Company
Circa 2014 Lifewave was headed by by founder and CEO David Schmidt (right). This remains so in 2026.
Some of LifeWave’s founding kookiness can still be found in Schmidt’s corporate bio;
The LifeWave Technology was born out of three years of intense research by David into the concept of being able to naturally increase energy and stamina through elevation of fat burning, utilizing wireless communication to the human body via phototherapy.
Wireless communication and phototherapy are very much real. Unless LifeWave is implanting people with sensors though (they’re not), the above quoted paragraph is misleading.
LifeWave is still based out of Utah in the US. Several additional office locations are provided, with the majority of them being in Asia.
LifeWave’s Products
LifeWave’s patches remain its primary flagship products. A few supplements and personal care products make up the rest of the catalog.
