Professor Glen Jeffrey, PhD discusses the amazing effects of red light on metabolic health and mitochondria. They dive into how red light therapy can significantly lower blood glucose levels, the impact of artificial light on metabolic health, and the benefits of infrared light in improving health outcomes. The conversation also touches on the mechanisms of red light therapy, the importance of specific wavelengths and timing, and the intersection between infrared light and quantum biology.
Red light lowers blood glucose levels by stimulating mitochondria, enhancing metabolic health.

The summit aims to provide cutting-edge information and inspiration to enhance health and lifestyle.
Promotional Giveaway for Regenerate Allbury Health Summit Tickets
The Regenerate Allbury Health Summit is offering a giveaway competition for two golden tickets, each worth $598, for the event. Participants can enter by visiting the Regenerate Instagram profile or Twitter page, clicking on the giveaway tile or pinned tweet, and following the instructions. The competition deadline is June 30th, providing a chance to win a wellness weekend for themselves and a friend.
Impact of Direct Farm Produce on Health
The podcast emphasizes the importance of sourcing food directly from farmers to ensure high standards of animal welfare, land stewardship, and chemical-free practices. Wolkie Farms, a regenerative operation in New South Wales, offers a 10% discount on their produce that includes beef, lamb, pork, and eggs. Buying directly from such farms eliminates uncertainties about the ethical treatment of animals and reduces exposure to harmful chemicals in food.
Improving Metabolic Health with Light Therapy Study
The podcast highlights the groundbreaking research on light therapy's impact on lowering blood glucose levels. A study conducted by Professor Glenn Jeffrey and his team demonstrated that exposure to red light activated mitochondria, leading to a significant decrease in blood glucose levels. The study showcased a new paradigm in leveraging light therapy to enhance metabolic health and regulate blood sugar effectively.
Effect of Blue Light on Metabolism and Health Risks
The podcast discusses the detrimental effects of blue light on metabolism, citing rapid changes observed in mitochondrial function and blood glucose levels under blue light exposure. Blue light, absorbed by mitochondria and porphyrin, can lead to insulin resistance and increase glycemia, impacting overall health. The conversation delves into the implications of excessive blue light exposure, particularly from devices like iPads, on health risks and metabolic disorders.
This groundbreaking interview we discuss the remarkable finding that red light significantly lowers blood glucose level in humans by stimulating mitochondrial function, and the implications this has for individual and global health.
Glen Geffrey, PhD is a Professor of Neuroscience at University College, London researching the effects of light on biology and mitochondria in animal models and humans.
He is a close collaborator with previous podcast guest and Optics engineer Scott Zimmerman and astronomer & astrophysicist Bob Fosbury, all of whom are raising awareness of infrared light deficiency & blue light excess of modern indoor environments.
