Last month in Miami, I had the privilege of speaking to biohacking enthusiasts about red light therapy at Biohacking Congress. It was a fun challenge for me in terms of trying to divulge the red light therapy knowledge I accumulated over the years -- from countless books about light to hundreds of hours of reading the scientific research to attending photobiomodulation courses -- and distill it into a presentation under 40 minutes.
Luckily for you, on this week's episode of The Red Light Report, you get to be a fly on the humid, sunny wall of downtown Miami, as I attempt to explain the proverbial nuts and bolts of how and why red light therapy works; and not just that, but how and why it can help with a seemingly endless list of health and wellness conditions. Does it get a little science-y? Yes, a little. But not enough to scare you off to another episode. Yet enough for you to truly grasp what red and near-infrared light does to you at the physiological level, as that is where the rubber meets the road in understanding why red light therapy is becoming wildly popular in the health, wellness, longevity and biohacking worlds. In the first half of my presentation, I go over keep concepts such as: mitochondria, bioenergetics, mitochondrial dysfunction, sunlight, mal-illumination, cytochrome c oxidase, electron transport chain, mitochondrial theory of aging and redox potential. In the second half of my talk, I go over a variety of photobiomodulation research articles to demonstrate and impress upon people the many ways in which red light therapy can heal and optimize one's health. My hope is that you come away from this episode with an enhanced understanding and respect for red light therapy and its limitless potential we are just now beginning to tap into. Please enjoy! - At Biohacking Congress in Miami, Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following:
