Today's guest on The Red Light Report has been a long time coming and a conversation that I have been candidly been looking forward to. For years and years, I have been following Matt Maruca; initially, indirectly through other podcasts with the likes of Ben Greenfield, Dr. Jack Kruse and Luke Storey and then more directly as I repeatedly heard his story and listened him speak so articulately and passionately about how light has impacted his life, literally inside and out. He is wise well beyond his years and our conversation in today's episode is brimming with energy, vibrations and information that is sure to resonate with you to your core.Matt is the founder and CEO of Ra Optics, a blue light blocking glasses company that teaches about the essential role that light plays in health and develops advanced light therapy-based products. He founded Ra Optics after a decade-long personal health journey that ultimately led him to light. The discovery that we are ultimately beings of light has led him to a profound interest in the nature of consciousness and existence itself.In this episode, Matt details his fascinating health journey that led him to founding Ra Optics, he educates us all on how blue-light blocking glasses impacts virtually all aspects of health, why clear lenses do not block blue light, why and when to wear yellow-tinted lenses and orange-/red-tinted lenses, and, a topic he is very wholehearted about, his journey with honing his inner light and why he values that aspect of health over all others. Of course, we talk about much, much more as well! This was easily one of my favorite conversations to date and I know Matt and I could have easily continued for another couple of hours. I have no doubt we will sometime in the near future, as he is so well-versed in light and health and is equally impassioned to share his knowledge with anyone interested in energetically optimizing their health. As always, learn lots and light up your health! - Key points: Matt's journey getting into blue-light blocking: (2:41) There's more to health than food: (8:06) Starting his own company: (12:58) Lenses, blocking the correct light, and bringing awareness: 20:06 Light spectra: 24:41 Clear lenses don't block blue light: 26:32 Lens tinting: 31:13 How important light is in general: 33:08 Being scientifically driven: 36:12 Wearing colored lenses in public: 40:59 Changing the norm and cultural shifts: 44:59 The awareness is growing: 47:18 Health changes he noticed after using blue light blocking glasses: 50:33 Blue light is an "offender" in the environment: 56:00 The real competition is sleeping pills and melatonin: 1:00:41 Personal anecdotes: 1:02:16 Increasing athletic performance: 1:10:44 Sleep metrics and HRV: 1:12:07 Spirituality and inner light: 1:13:30 Owning a company and feeling lonely: 1:17:10 Showing up in any way you can: 1:23:32 Overcoming victimhood: 1:27:13 Laziness and overworking: 1:29:03 Overall health and wellbeing: 1:35:01 We are all vibrations: 1:39:28 Eat with the sun: 1:44:57 Timing your blue light-blocking glasses: 1:53:43 Unhealthy light: 1:59:19 Countering blue light from screens: 2:07:52 Windows block infrared light: 2:10:37 Fluorescent light and mercury: 2:14:46 - Watch this episode on YouTube - Learn More About & From Matt:RaOptics.com (To get 10% off your order, use coupon code "BIOLIGHT") Matt's IG:  @thelightdiet   Ra Optics IG: @ra_optics   The Light Diet Podcast - Check out BioLight's most innovative product to date: the Cocoon! - Kindle version of Red Light Therapy Treatment Protocols eBook, 4th Edition - To learn more about red light therapy and shop for the highest-quality red light therapy products, visit https://www.biolight.shop - Dr. Mike's #1 recommendation for grounding products: Earthing.com - Stay up-to-date on social media: Dr. Mike Belkowski: Instagram LinkedIn   BioLight: Instagram YouTube Facebook

Carrie Bennett was the most popular episode of 2022 on The Red Light Report, and I was lucky enough to get the chance to sit down with her again to geek out some more on the quantum side of biology and health. We dig a little deeper into the foundational tenants of quantum health: light, water and magnetism. It is within these three pillars that you must be concentrating the majority of your efforts in order to optimize mitochondrial health and bear the fruit of limitless energy and vitality. You simply need to understand the principles... which is where Carrie's expertise comes in!Carrie discusses some newer topics on today's episode, such as why she is no longer a fan of supplementing vitamin D, along with other analogous "supplements" that our hormones already produced in our body. She delves into the topic of hydration and why she thinks that is one of the most overlooked areas of health and one of the lowest hanging fruits from a quantum energetic perspective. Carrie also discusses how diluted ocean water may be one of the missing links to a more vibrant healthspan.For those of you that haven't listened to that first interview —  and even those that have!  — I highly recommend going back and listening to it, as Carrie is an absolute expert in quantum health and is an amazing source of information and education (the link for that episode is in the show notes). You can't help but get excited and energized when you hear Carrie talk. Her energy is infectious and her information and quantum education is unparalleled.

Today's episode is the last installment of this three-part series on non-native EMF's negative impact on not just our health, but the health of our planet, including birds, bees and other insects, as well as trees and plants. From the book, The Invisible Rainbow by Arthur Firstenberg, we can certainly glean the impact and consequences to our biology of virtually swimming around in an ocean of frequencies our physiology has never been exposed to at any point of the existence of the earth. It's time to take EMF-mitigating strategies as seriously as we do our diet and exercise for optimal health, well-being and longevity.   My number one EMF-mitigating tactic is using grounding/earthing products for when I am in bed, at my desk, on my couch, etc. As we learned from Clint Ober's book, Earthing, you are literally protecting your body from non-native EMFs whenever you are grounding yourself. What a simple, inexpensive way to combat this EMF-laden world we now live in. My favorite grounding products come from Clint Ober's company: Earthing.com I hope you have enjoyed this three-part series and have found the information interesting, impactful and mind-expanding.

This week we will take a dive into the world of invisible light and its impact on our health. And I'm not talking about infrared light, the wavelength we associate with red light therapy that has positive health benefits; but, rather, the other invisible light that makes up over 99% of the electromagnetic spectrum. In his book, The Invisible Rainbow: A History of Electricity and Life, Arthur Firstenberg chronicles the impact that the evolution of electricity, radiation and non-native electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs) has had on the health of humans and animals since its inception in the late 19th century. This well-written and strongly-cited book by Firstenberg makes a very strong case that the vast majority of health maladies and diseases of the last couple of centuries are actually directly tied to electricity and the iterations of that technology (i.e., the electrical power grid, radio waves, telecommunication, wireless technology, advancements from 3G to 4G to 5G, etc.) versus the paradigm, which we are all too familiar with, of exercise and diet.This book has completely transformed my perception of electricity, the advancement of any technology and its indisputable negative impact on our health. In a nutshell, any human-made, non-native EMF causes metabolic disease, which is tantamount to saying it causes mitochondrial dysfunction. Based on the information presented in the book, provided you are a health conscious individual, you quickly realize you need to start prioritizing EMF-mitigating tactics over diet/exercise tactics. I am not saying you need to get rid of one to include the other, but rather that you can't out-exercise or out-diet/out-supplement dysfunctional mitochondria; you need a strong motor (i.e. mitochondria) before you can get the benefits from the fuel (i.e. diet and exercise). In this episode, I cover one of  the more profound chapters, Irritable Heart, in the sense that it clearly demonstrates the impact of electrical technology through various eras and how it has been a silent killer for countless cardiac conditions. In my opinion, 5G is further perpetuating and accelerating the issues outlined in this chapter. I hope you find this information as profound and paradigm-shifting as I do — knowledge is truly power. As always, light up your health (with EMFs from the earth/nature and sunlight)! - Key points: Advances in technology and its impact on health: (2:50) Positive and negative EMFs: (4:14) The environment affects the mitochondria: (7:55) Irritable heart: (8:37) Marconi and the invention of radio: (14:59) Heart issues and electricity exposure: (15:61) Heart disease and electricity correlation: (23:10) Animal fat and heart attacks: (26:26) Cholesterol and heart disease: (27:50) Coronary heart disease: (29:30) Fat consumption: (30:60) We can't metabolize fats like our ancestors could: (33:47) Increased heart attacks in zoo animals: (35:10) Radio-frequency radiation: (37:27) Politics vs science: (39:44) Illnesses from microwave radiation: (39:16) Symptoms of radio-wave exposure: (42:26) Hearing radar: (44:41) Modulating heart rhythm: (46:53) - Book referenced from the episode: The Invisible Rainbow: A History of Electricity and Life, Arthur Firstenberg - Check out BioLight's most innovative product yet: the Cocoon! - Kindle version of Red Light Therapy Treatment Protocols eBook, 4th Edition - To learn more about red light therapy and shop for the highest-quality red light therapy products, visit https://www.biolight.shop - Dr. Mike's #1 recommendation for grounding products: Earthing.com - Stay up-to-date on social media: Dr. Mike Belkowski: Instagram LinkedIn   BioLight: Instagram YouTube Facebook

This week I am excited to welcome my first "fireside chat" with a red light therapy enthusiast! Calling in from Western Australia, Ros Maindok, first got illuminated by red light therapy back in 2010 when she took a course that was designed specifically for horses. This is back in the day when it was literally just red light and did not encompass the near-infrared light we are accustomed to with today's red light therapy devices. She began with a red light therapy torch and learned how to treat acupoints on horses, getting impressive results quickly. From there she was hooked on the healing capabilities of this simple, yet profound technology.   Of course, over time Ros's experiences and knowledge grew into treating other animals/pets and herself and her family. Similar to her results with horses, she realized some amazing results with her family, especially her husband. Ros highlights some fun anecdotes, which provides some great insight into "real life" results people are getting with red light therapy.   We also speak about how we see red light therapy expanding in the future and (hopefully) where it can get with more mainstream adoption. Like me, Ros is very impassioned and excited to share and spread her red light therapy knowledge; and with over a decade of experience, she comes from a place of know-how versus just reading a book or the research.    Sit back, relax and enjoy this fun conversation with Ros from the land down under (sorry, I couldn't help myself). And regardless of which side of the equator you are on, light up your health! - Key points: Adjusting the duration of treatment based on various factors: (11:60) Results that she's seen from red light therapy: (16:56) Reacting to therapy: (16:56) Improving collagen quality: (22:18) Avoiding chemical pain killers: (23:60) Why not use red light therapy first?: (26:62) The acupoints don't like to be "shouted at": (30:07) How the nervous system responds: (31:35) Animals inherently know the benefits of red light therapy: (32:21) Red light therapy is not a cookie-cutter treatment: (34:45) More often than not, people are over treating: (35:39) Treating acute injuries/ sicknesses early on: (37:23) Anecdotes of treating humans: (38:29) Red light therapy on a mass scale in the future: (44:07) We live in an electrified world: (47:14) Introducing new electromagnetic fields: (49:32) Blue light and its potential: (52:05) - Watch this episode on YouTube - Check out BioLight newest innovative red light therapy apparatus: the Cocoon! - Check out the Kindle version of Red Light Therapy Treatment Protocols eBook, 4th Edition - To learn more about red light therapy and shop for the highest-quality red light therapy products, visit https://www.biolight.shop - Dr. Mike's #1 recommendation for grounding products: Earthing.com - Stay up-to-date on social media: Dr. Mike Belkowski: Instagram LinkedIn   BioLight: Instagram YouTube Facebook
