Innovators of Health Dr. Ashu Goyle talks about integrative pain medicine, red-light therapy, and the body’s “cellular intelligence.”
In this episode of Innovators of Health, Dr. Ashu Goyle traces his path from conventional pain management to an integrative model that blends photobiomodulation (red/near-infrared light), regenerative therapies, and even music-based interventions to support nervous-system regulation. He explains how light can complement anti-inflammatory lifestyles and regenerative care to improve patient experience and recovery—while keeping treatment personalized and patient-centered. Dr. Goyle also shares practical advice for clinicians on when and how to introduce light therapy safely, ethically, and effectively inside a modern practice.
Key Takeaways
- 🌍 Whole-person lens: Treat the human, not just the diagnosis—mind, body, and environment matter.
- 🔴 Photobiomodulation as a pillar: Red/NIR light can support mitochondrial function, calm inflammation, and aid recovery when dosed correctly.
- 🎵 Music & the nervous system: Rhythm/entrainment tools help modulate pain and stress alongside medical care.
- 🧬 Regenerative stack: Light therapy pairs well with regenerative approaches to support tissue-healing pathways.
- 🫁 Adjuncts, not replacements: Tools like hyperbaric oxygen and PBM are most effective inside a coordinated care plan.
- 🥗 Prevention first: Anti-inflammatory habits (sleep, nutrition, movement) amplify clinical outcomes.
- 🧰 Practical integration: Start with clear protocols, patient education, and safe dosing; expand to clinic-to-home routines as adherence grows.
- 🤝 Team sport: Building a collaborative provider network accelerates learning and patient results.
