Red Light Therapy: How it Works, How to Dose It, and How To Choose The Right Device

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Mark Cronshaw, a scientist, a practicing physician and a highly respected expert in Photobiomodulation, the process in which different wavelengths of light affect human health.

We discuss how Photobiomodulation works in a clear, scientific way, why so many people get inconsistent results, how to choose the right red light therapy device, proper dosing, intensity and session length, safety and contraindications, and its potential benefits for longevity, recovery, and healthy aging.
