What if a laser could help a child speak for the first time—or reverse an “incurable” brain condition?

In this episode of The Human Upgrade, Dave Asprey talks with Dr. Brandon Crawford, a leading neurotherapist and founder of 528 Innovations, about the emerging science of laser therapy for the brain and body. You’ll learn how light—when precisely pulsed and targeted—can rewire brainwaves, heal trauma, and even influence states of consciousness.

Dr. Crawford explains how specific laser frequencies are being used to modulate brain states, activate the vagus nerve, improve mood, restore gut-brain communication, and support recovery from conditions like autism and ALS. From EEG shifts to structured water and mitochondrial signaling, this conversation dives deep into biohacking’s most advanced light-based tech.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• How laser therapy rewires brainwaves for mood, focus, and clarity

• The exact brain regions linked to embodiment, intuition, and flow

• Why pulsing patterns matter more than power in laser tech

• How light influences trauma recovery and vagus nerve activation

• The role of structured water and infrared light in cellular repair

• How patients with ALS and autism responded to 528 protocols
