Photobiomodulation Clinical Experience: Healing the Root Cause, Not the Symptoms w/ Josh Crawford
The Red Light Report
Exploring Methylene Blue: A Mitochondrial Marvel and Its Synergy with Red Light Therapy
This chapter explores the cognitive and mitochondrial benefits of methylene blue and its interaction with red light therapy to optimize health outcomes. The discussion includes the introduction of the BioBlue product, designed to enhance the efficacy of methylene blue through improved absorption.
In this information-packed episode of The Red Light Report, Dr. Mike Belkowski is joined by Josh Crawford, Clinical Director of Genoa Integrative Health & Wellness. Josh shares his transformational journey from emergency medicine to building one of the most robust red light therapy clinics in North America. Sparked by the tragic loss of his first wife to Crohn’s disease and biologic-related cancer, Josh recounts how that experience ignited his pursuit of root-cause medicine, integrative therapies, and photobiomodulation.
The episode dives deep into the clinical application of red light therapy and methylene blue — especially in combination — as tools for mitochondrial repair, anti-aging, and chronic disease recovery. Josh and Dr. Mike explore the synergistic effects of methylene blue and red light, optimal dosing strategies, and the importance of high-quality supplementation. They also address the challenges of consumer devices, the biohacker movement, and using light and energy to promote cellular regeneration.
Topics include:
• Josh’s journey from paramedic to bioenergetic health leader
• Why methylene blue + red light = mitochondrial magic
• Dosing strategies, contraindications, and clinical applications
• How to vet red light therapy devices and avoid snake oil
• Real-world stories of healing from autoimmune, cancer, and neurodegeneration
Whether you’re a clinician, wellness entrepreneur, or biohacker, this episode is full of clinical pearls, personal insights, and practical protocols that highlight the future of medicine rooted in energy, light, and mitochondrial health.
Josh Crawford is the Clinical Director of Genoa Integrative Health & Wellness, a leading clinic focused on root-cause healing, mitochondrial repair, and advanced integrative therapies.
