In this episode, I’m back for a third installment of my conversation with Dr. Mark Cronshaw, one of the world’s foremost photobiomodulation (PBM) experts...what most people commonly refer to as red light therapy.

Have you invested in red light therapy but feel confused by contradicting information?  You're certainly not alone. In this conversation, Dr. Cronshaw challenges conventional wisdom about photobiomodulation with some insights that surprised even me!

So it’s NOT for everyone. These podcasts are for people who want to nerd out on PBM science. So please don’t say I didn’t warn you! :)
