Let's dive into some more research on this week's solosode of The Red Light Repor t. I cover two pieces of research more thoroughly this week, as both of the topics are quite interesting and the information within each article contains valuable red light therapy principles that everyone can apply to their RLT treatments and strategies.

The first article deals with the side effects of cancer treatments (i.e. radiotherapy), while the second article is about using phototherapy for improving cognition in those dealing with dementia. I have a hunch that boosting mitochondrial health is involved with both of these!

I know the info in this solosode will either be great reminders and/or help continue to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the capabilities of RLT and how to best utilize it. As always, light up your health and enjoy this solosode!
