Episode notes
How Red/NIR Acts On Cells
- Red and near-infrared light boost cellular energy by enhancing mitochondrial function.
- They also reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, producing broad health benefits.
Start Low And Build Slowly
- Avoid overdoing red light if you have chronic conditions; start with lower doses and build up slowly.
- Monitor for side effects like fatigue or skin redness and reduce dose if symptoms appear.
Red Versus Near-Infrared Depth
- Near-infrared penetrates deeper to affect muscles and bones while red light works more on skin and superficial tissues.
- Combining both wavelengths gives complementary whole-body effects.
