Key Takeaways:

Photobiomodulation is using specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate the mitochondria to produce energy.
Different wavelengths of light do different things to the body. Ultraviolet light, for example, stimulates vitamin D production in humans, and red light was found to be rejuvenating to the skin.
Some of the benefits of red light therapy include
Benefits to the skin
Relieves joint pain
Reduces inflammation
Enhanced muscle recovery
Enhanced athletic performance
Benefits to the hormones
Benefits to the microbiome
Hair regrowth
Cognitive benefits
Inflammation reduction is probably the biggest benefit of red and near-infrared exposure that’s been documented to date.
Inflammation is the root cause of almost every chronic disease in the body.

Action Steps:

Get adequate exposure to sunlight.
Consider getting red light therapy.
When getting red light therapy, make sure there’s clinically proven wavelengths, that the coverage area is that, and that the intensity is there.

Wes said:

“It’s really amazing how giving your body exposure to these wavelengths of red and near-infrared has a systemic effect across the whole body in such a positive way. It’s almost kind of like a multivitamin.”

“Not all red light is created equal. Even though they can have the same wavelengths and clinically proven wavelengths, the intensity needs to be there.”
