The Red Light Report
Red Light Therapy for Healing Tendons & Applying The Mitochondrial Triad For Fertility
The first topic is red light therapy (RLT) for tendinopathy (i.e. pain from overuse in tendons), where I discuss the mechanisms of how RLT has the potential to help heal this type of an injury, review the most relevant research and then provide some practical application for what a real treatment would look like with a RLT devce.
The second topic is how to apply The Mitochondrial Triad for fertility. I first examine the role that mitochondrial dysfunction plays in facilitating low fertility rates and then scrutinize how/why RLT, methylene blue and C60 may have efficacious, profound potential for improving and optimizing fertility — both from the female and male perspective. I also offer some practical application for each aspect of The Mitochondrial for women and men.
