The Benefits of Inferid Light

Photobiomodulation, or low-level light therapy uses visable light (measuing 400 – 700 nm) and near-infrared light (measuring 700 – 1100 nm). In this episode, Bryan Gohl, Co-Founder of Red Light Rising, discusses red light therapy and its vast benefits. 

When it comes to red and infrared light therapy, from minute 2 to minute 20....the benefits of going up and up, you getting maximum ends on release. You're getting maximum your energy turnover within the cells. But after 20 minutes, the benefits start to decrease. So it just becomes a time waste.

What is Red Light Rising?

Bryan Gohl and James Strong co-founded Red Light Rising in 2017. After looking to optimize performance, Bryan and James  discovered Photobiomodulation.

PBM has incredible powers and can really enhance people’s quality of life.  Whether your goal is to have glowing and younger looking skin, maximise recovery from workouts, have increased energy levels, or to improve circadian rhythm and deeper sleep cycles.  PBM can really help you achieve these goals and many, many more… 

Our company mission is to bring you this latest top end PBM technology, and make is accessible to everyone at an affordable price.  We believe in this technology so much, and once the benefits are more widely publicised, it will not be long before there is a PBM device in every home.

We have a very active community on Instagram, we love all red light, so please tag us in shots of you using your devices @RedLightRising

What is Photobiomodulation?

“A form of light therapy that utilizes non-ionizing forms of light sources, including lasers, LEDs, and broadband light, in the visible and infrared spectrum. It is a nonthermal process involving endogenous chromophores eliciting photophysical (i.e., linear and nonlinear) and photochemical events at various biological scales. This process results in beneficial therapeutic outcomes including but not limited to the alleviation of pain or inflammation, immunomodulation, and promotion of wound healing and tissue regeneration.”

Sponsor

The sponsor for this episode is the ring on my finger. No, I'm not married yet. And frankly, before that ring, I hated wearing rings. But I must say the guys that aura have done a great job.

The ring allows me to track all sorts of crazy things about my sleep, including my resting heart rate, my deep sleep stages, my REM sleep, etc, etc. I really enjoy the feedback and allows me to to make lifestyle decisions to become a higher performer.

Let me give you an example. So prior to getting the ordering, I would fast essentially 16 hours after my last meal. It didn't matter when that last meal was. However, when I look at my resting heart rate, and how that really correlates to my performance The next day, I know I want my lowest resting heart rate coming as soon as possible after going to sleep because that's when all my recovery really starts.

So what did I do? Well, it allowed me to adjust really when my last meal was before going to bed. So I have my last meal. Now, earlier in the night, I get better sleep, I get higher quality sleep. And I must say the next day feels amazing. So if you want to check out the Oura Ring and if you want to pick one up yourself, go to ouraring.com and plug in the code Boomer and you'll get $50 off your order or 50 euros, depending on your jurisdiction. I really hope you enjoy the ring and on with the show.
