The Red Light Report

How effective is red light therapy for reducing stress when you irradiate both your brain and your gut?Can methylene blue reduce mortality in those critically ill?How safe and effect is C60 according to a recent toxicity report?​​​​In today's solosode, we're diving back into the research! And it ended up being a sheer coincidence that we're covering each topic of The Mitochondrial Triad. The first article looks at how beneficial photobiomodulation can be for reducing stress when you target both the brain and the gut to enhance mental health via the gut-brain axis. The second article is an abstract of a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials that demonstrates the efficacy and safety of methylene blue for critically ill individuals and perioperative patients. The last study comes from our friends at SES Research where they are studying the toxicity of carbon 60 to verify its safety and efficacy. With C60 being such a new supplement for human consumption, SES Research is going through the necessary and proper steps to demonstrate the safety of this novel and seemingly beneficial molecule. Hopefully, studies like this will help C60 become more widely adopted so that more people can benefit from it.

I'm excited to finally start some "fireside chats" with people that are willing to share their experiences  — good, bad, or otherwise  — about implementing red light therapy and/or methylene blue and/or C60 into their health regimen and what they noticed. That first person happens to be a (now) very good friend of mine, Don Bailey, whom I only met in-person back in December. In a nutshell, today's episode is a conversation about his experience implementing The Mitochondrial Triad and how it changed his life.​​Don and I crossed paths due to our mutual interest in the blockchain/crypto/web3 spaces. He is personally the CEO of an up-and-coming blockchain company that emphasizes tokenization; a job, as you can imagine, that requires non-stop focus, creativity, high energy, problem solving, etc. and, of course, a lot of time spent in front of a computer screen.​​After we went our separate ways in December, Don eventually reached out to me about what he should do to improve his overall energy and focus. Naturally, I highly recommended full-body red light therapy and methylene blue as the two most low hanging fruit. Over the course of the subsequent months, Don went on to trial various red light therapy devices and all of the BioBlue and BioC60 supplements.​​His case is very unique in that there were durations of time between his implementation of each modality; thus, he got to experience how only red light therapy impacted his health and energy; then he got to see how BioBlue further augmented his health and wellness; subsequently, he got to witness how his body and brain responded differently with BioBlue Leuco and so on. This candid conversation is a fantastic encapsulation of how any one of the pillars of The Mitochondrial Triad can transform your health, wellness and outlook on life.

"In effect, humans have dragged a body with a long hominid history into an overfed, malnourished, sedentary, sunlight-deficient, sleep-deprived, competitive, inequitable, and socially isolating environment with dire consequences." That quote from the book, On the Origin of Being, perfectly encapsulates the evolutionary mismatch of today's population in the modern world; an environment where everything is changing faster than our genes and physiology can keep up with! Luckily, today's guest, Jenny Powers, is one of the author's of that book, which was just released within the last couple of weeks. Jenny spent over three years researching information for the book that perfectly depicts our evolutionary and anthropological history of our hominid ancestors from which we can learn from their way of life. It's clear that we have forgotten how to live according to our evolutionary physiology.Jenny Powers is an accomplished writer, scientist, and athlete.  She earned her Ph.D. in microbiology and immunology from the University of Colorado, Denver; her journey as a collegiate basketball player taught her to push physical boundaries even as she continually expanded her intellectual horizons. She is deeply inspired by the exploration of human nature and the study of our ancestors; her role researching and co-authoring On the Origin of Being marks the culmination of this passion to date. Jenny balances her professional endeavors with her roles as a wife and mother in Colorado.In today's conversation, Jenny and I take a deep dive into some of the fascinating and insightful information that is covered in her book, On the Origin of Being. Not only is this historical perspective on how "we" used to live truly captivating, but it also leaves a trail of clues as to how all of us could improve our sleep, nutrition, work and rest, and time spent in nature or observing the natural world to optimize our quality of life in the modern world. Jenny's passion and intellect on these various topics come through during our conversation today. As we just scratch the surface, I highly recommend you check out the book and take a deep dive for yourself!I hope you enjoy the conversation today with Jenny.

As we're approaching the dog days of summer, it seemed like it would be nice to take a break from the deep science of photobiomodulation research and take some FAQs surrounding red light therapy. Chances are that if you have that question, thousands of other people have that same question. Also, as long as I've been deeply entrenched in the red light therapy space, it seems like the same misinformation is being propagated year after year after year. I felt like it would be nice to clear the air on some of these topics.Some of the myths, misconceptions and FAQs covered in this episode are surrounding whether or not RLT is a gimmick/snake oils pitch and if it is thoroughly backed by scientific research, if someone should be using RLT for 20 - 30 minutes every single day in order to realize benefits, whether or not you should be combining infrared sauna and red light therapy and whether or not RLT is safe for eyes and if one should always be covering their eyes during RLT sessions.

At this point, hopefully you're a fan of the mitochondria, red light therapy and methylene blue... because we'll be digging into those topics today!The first article looks at red light therapy's impact on mitochondrial dynamics. Some of this may be review, but it's all part of putting the pieces of the puzzle together in this RLT-mitochondria waltz. I continue to be awestruck at the vast potential and efficacious results that can be accomplished with red and near-infrared light.The second article reviews the impact of methylene blue on COVID-19. Lo and behold, MB is a very powerful anti-viral so we know what the punchline is going to be with SARS-CoV-2. But the review still reveals the many potential mechanisms of action of how MB works to fight off COVID-19 and also provides many clinical studies that had profound results with MB (by itself or when combined with other molecules). Personally, MB is the first line of defense whenever I feel the slightest twinge of my body coming down with a sickness; MB works to completely disallow the sickness from ever manifesting or it helps drastically shorten the course of the virus. ​​​ If you found the information in today's episode particularly interesting and/or compelling, please share it with a family member, friend, colleague and/or anyone that you think could benefit and be illuminated by this knowledge.

This week we are going to cover a wide array of research:​ ​Mitophagy's impact on aging (the mitochondria's process of selective degradation of mitochondria by autophagy). If you can't get rid of the garbage mitochondria, that's a rotten deal for your health.   Methylene blue's role in combatting oral biofilm (a sticky film that coats teeth and contains bacteria). Our blue friend may actually be playing a beneficial role by temporarily staining your teeth blue. Who wouldn't trade tooth decay, receding gums and bad breath for that? Preconditioning your muscles for improved muscular strength, endurance and recovery. In reality, how beneficial is this strategy for the active population? Transcranial photobiomodulation for children with autism spectrum disorder. Is this an efficacious treatment for children to mitigate symptoms of ASD?

It's about time that we dig back into some photobiomodulation research. This week we will take a deep dive into the impact of repeated low level red light therapy on childhood myopia. With an ever-increasing divergence of time that children spend viewing near-distance objects like phones, tablets, computers, TVs, etc. compared to time outside where the eyes have to focus on objects in the distance, this condition in particular is quickly on the rise and becoming an epidemic of its own. So if something as simple, safe and effective as red light therapy can help combat, mitigate and even reverse myopia, who wouldn't want to have this tool in their toolbox for their kid(s) and/or for themselves?!Next we will visit an abstract that looks at primary mitochondrial diseases and how bioenergetics, oxidative stress and neuroinflammation all play a potential role. Sounds to me like The Mitochondrial Triad has a potentially large role to play here, as they can all positively impact those three variables and undoubtedly improve the function of the mitochondria. Red light therapy, methylene blue and C60 — a mitochondrion's delight!Lastly, I introduce the newest version of BioLight's BioBlue. BioBlue (SR) is the very first supplement of its kind, consisting of a 50/50 blend of methylene blue and leucomethylene blue that provides the best of both worlds and delivers a Sustained Release of the mitochondrial-boosting properties of these blue molecules. Learn more about the benefits of this BioBlue concoction and why it was created!​​ If you found the information in today's episode particularly interesting and/or compelling, please share it with a family member, friend, colleague and/or anyone that you think could benefit and be illuminated by this knowledge.
