The Red Light Report

Pet Health, Heart Failure, Concussions & Modifying the Gut Microbiome w/ Red Light Therapy

It's time to dig back into the photobiomodulation research The Red Light Report! On this solosode, I will cover three new, unique scientific studies that investigate the ways that red light therapy can help with heart health, post-concussion symptoms and modifying the gut microbiome for positive health and wellness benefits! Not only that, but I will reveal how red light therapy virtually saved my dog from needing stitches, significantly accelerating the healing and recovery process from a massive cut that left him with a split lip.

We all know that the heart is one of the most mitochondrial-dense tissues in the body, yet oddly enough, there is a dearth of photobiomodulation research in this area. Listen and learn how red light therapy is able to ameliorate symptoms and side effects from heart failure.

One of the biggest areas on the rise in red light therapy research is transcranial photobiomodulation for neurodegenerative diseases and all types of brain injuries, including concussions. Listen and learn how a professional hockey player incorporated red light therapy into his post-concussion multimodal treatment approach. 

Lastly, the gut has been receiving a lot of attention in the research as well -- both on how red light therapy can directly improve the gut microbiome and also how brain health can be altered via the gut-brain axis with RLT to the gut. Listen and learn to what the newest research is showing on RLT improving gut health and the gut microbiome.

Learn lots, light up your health and enjoy!

  • Anecdotal evidence of red light therapy's wound healing capacity via Dr. Mike healing his dog
  • A gash, that otherwise should have been stitched, being healed by red light therapy
  • How photobiomodulation improves cardiac function
  • How red light therapy increases ATP production in the heart
  • Trans-cranial photobiomodulation for patients with concussions
  • Modifying the microbiome as a potential mechanism for photobiomodulation
  • The gut microbiome in animals and how it has been altered using photobiomodulation
