David Schmidt — Inventor of LifeWave Phototherapy.
One mission for the US Navy started it all. The result rewrote what a wellness patch could do.
David Schmidt began LifeWave with a single mission: discover a way for the US Navy to keep elite operators alert and effective for extended periods — without drugs, stimulants, or anything entering the body.
The result was the first LifeWave Energy Enhancer patch, which used reflected wavelengths of light to influence cellular energy production. It worked. From there, Schmidt expanded the platform into sleep, pain, recovery, glutathione, carnosine, and finally — the breakthrough X39 patch that elevates GHK-Cu, the body's master regenerative copper peptide.
David Schmidt, in his own words.
David Schmidt — CEO & Founder.

David Schmidt is the inventor of the X39 technology and founder of LifeWave. His experience in business and product development spans over 30 years and includes a formal education in Management Information Systems and Biology at Pace University in Pleasantville, NY. David developed new methods for producing hydrogen and oxygen, designed and prototyped multi-fueled, bladeless-turbine power generation systems, and constructed metal-combustion rocket engines.
As a result of his work performed in the design of emergency oxygen systems for General Dynamics and the U.S. Navy, David was invited to participate in the Navy's next generation mini-sub program.
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.
Globally, David has recently been awarded his 200th patent, with many more being written. More than 70 of those issued patents are in the field of regenerative science and technology. One of his inventions, the Double Helix Conductor, produces a novel blend of electromagnetic and non-electromagnetic fields to improve the speed of wound healing that rivals that of stem-cell injections.
It took over 10 years of research and $4.5 million invested before the X39 technology came to fruition. X39 stands for prototype X39. David Schmidt founded LifeWave over 20 years ago and is committed to the network marketing industry. He has fallen in love with the people and is committed to position every LifeWave Brand Partner for success. Because this technology is the life calling of David Schmidt, the X39 wearable patch is far superior to any other product in the direct sales industry. You can count on David Schmidt to continue his commitment to make LifeWave a legacy company that will last for generations.
From a Navy lab to 70+ countries.
- Origin
A US Navy mission
LifeWave began with a single mission: discover a way to keep elite Navy operators alert and effective for extended periods — without drugs, stimulants, or anything entering the body.
- Breakthrough
The Energy Enhancer patch
The result was the first LifeWave Energy Enhancer patch, which used reflected wavelengths of light to influence cellular energy production. It worked.
- Platform
Sleep, pain, recovery & beyond
Schmidt expanded the platform into sleep, pain relief, recovery, glutathione, and carnosine — each patch tuned to a different cellular signal.
- X39
The GHK-Cu breakthrough
Then came X39 — the breakthrough patch that elevates GHK-Cu, the body's master regenerative copper peptide, without anything crossing the skin.
More than 75 patents protect this technology worldwide. LifeWave is used in over 70 countries.
