From Bioregulatory Medicine to Energetic Healing: Navigating Alternative Approaches to Health & Well-Being

Today we explore the fascinating world of alternative health and well-being. In this episode, we cover a range of topics, from the origins of medical theories and the role of energy in healing to interesting readings from the book "Bioregulatory Medicine" and explore the many benefits of alternative approaches to healthcare.   I will cover my favorite insights from the first couple of chapters. Right off the bat, the book discusses the causes of diseases, including mitochondrial damage, and why we deserve better medicine than the allopathic model.   As we move on in the book, we will explore the differences between treating acute conditions versus chronic diseases, as well as the origins of medical theories and the role of nature's four elements. We delve into the history of medicine, discussing "the apothecary, the pharmacy, and homeopathy", and the opposing views of allopathy.   Moving along, we will learn the importance of the soil and how it impacts our health, as well as Einstein's theory of energy and quantum theory. We discuss the concept that everything is energy and the role of energetic medicine in healing. We also explore the impact of radiation and the need for light, energy, frequency, and vibration in maintaining our health.   We touch on the concept of biofields and the role of love as the noblest foundation for medicine. We also delve into the regeneration cycles of every organ and how natural methods can help cure disease. Finally, we discuss the benefits of cold-water exposure and the fascinating history of how medicine and dentistry were once one and the same.   I hope you find this information on bioregulatory medicine insightful, impactful and helps provide a better perspective of long history of holistic health and trials and tribulations that were involved that led us to where we are today (including red light therapy).

Mechanisms of How Red Light Therapy Works

Did you know red light therapy is a hormetic stressor to our cells similar to exercise? This week on The Red Light Report, we are going to review some of the fundamentals of red light therapy that include the two proposed mechanisms of how red light therapy actually works. And while you may already understand some of the basic concepts, I think there will be plenty of new, in-depth information that will add some color to your current red light therapy knowledge.Especially living in the Information Age, we hear/read/listen to so much information all of the time, that we rarely ingrain any of it. That's why repetition of the same information, particularly when its presented in different ways will lead to a deeper understanding and application of the knowledge. In today's episode, I will cover the mechanisms for how red light therapy works; both the agreed upon mechanisms (boosting mitochondrial function and hormesis) and the theoretical mechanisms (water as a photoacceptor and chlorophyll metabolites in our blood leading to increased light absorption and energy production). All of it is very fascinating and speaks to the various ways that light, especially red and near-infrared light, can positively impact our physiology.While listening to the information in this episode, consider what lifestyle changes you could make to further optimize your mitochondrial health (structured water and green veggies/supplements, anyone?). As always, light up your health and enjoy! - Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following: Intro: (0:00) How red light therapy works: (1:54) The ultimate guide to red light therapy - Ari Whitten: (4:35) Two key mechanisms of red & near-infrared light therapy: (7:00) Mechanism #1 - stimulating mitochondrial production: (8:05) Where red light therapy does most "magic": (14:36) How red light therapy really works: (15:23) Red light therapy lets oxygen into the mitochondria: (22:41) Mechanism #2 - The hormetic response: (24:34) Red light therapy mimics exercise: (28:14) Potential mechanisms: (29:16) Capturing sunlight energy: (35:19) CoQ10: (36:01) Near-infrared penetrates deeper: (38:44) Benefits of consuming chlorophyll: (41:48) The scientific consensus: (43:55) - Book referenced in the episode: The Ultimate Guide To Red Light Therapy - Ari Whitten - Check out BioLight's newest device: the Glow! - 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 - Stay up-to-date on social media: Dr. Mike Belkowski: Instagram LinkedIn   BioLight: Instagram YouTube Facebook

BioLight Will Set the Standard in Red Light Therapy; Research: Spinal Cord Injury & Acute/Chronic Pain Relief

A couple of weeks ago on a solosode, you heard me speak about how many red light therapy companies are misrepresenting (either intentionally or not) their product's light irradiance. This has been an ongoing issue in the industry that is much more rampant that you would want to believe. On this week's solosode of The Red Light Report, I will tell you how BioLight is going to set a new standard for product transparency in the red light therapy industry.​​Now this is not intended to be "calling out" other companies. More accurately, BioLight wants to raise the bar for its own standards and, ultimately, see a positive shift in the red light therapy industry as a whole as a ripple effect. In the end, this would only benefit consumer. I will also cover two exciting pieces of photobiomodulation research. This first study is the definition of "hot off the press," as it just dropped on 4/16! On top of that, it is a very compelling piece of research that looks into vascular photobiomodulation for spinal cord injury. ​So we get two discuss two novel topics relative to red light therapy: vascular RLT and spinal cord injuries.The second article is a review of the literature on photobiomodulation for inflammation and also acute and chronic. This ​goes into depth on a myriad of specific conditions related to pain (i.e., non-specific low back pain, post-surgical pain, knee osteoarthritis and much more). So it paints a great picture of just how much red light therapy can benefit pain of virtually all types.​Enjoy the information in this episode. My hope is that you continue to find the unfolding story of red light therapy as interesting and fascinating as I do. As always, light up your health and enjoy! - Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following: Intro: (0:00) Light irradiance: (7:33) Companies aren't reporting the correct light irradiance: (12:21) Red light therapy research: (15:28) Vascular red light therapy: (22:42) Two other studies on fibromyalgia and pain: (31:48) Inflammation: (33:09) Discussion portion of the article: (38:46) Knee osteoarthritis: (40:13) Fibromyalgia: (41:23) Oral pain and inflammation: (44:02) Post-surgery pain and swelling: (44:56) Conclusions of the article: (46:13) - Research article from the episode: Systemic vascular photobiomodulation accelerates the recovery of motor activity in rats following spinal cord injury Efficacy of Photobiomodulation Therapy in the Treatment of Pain and Inflammation: A Literature Review Learn more about these topics and on how RLT can be beneficial:Nerve Injury Pain - Check out BioLight's newest device: the Glow! - 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 - Stay up-to-date on social media: Dr. Mike Belkowski: Instagram LinkedIn   BioLight: Instagram YouTube Facebook

Research: COVID-19 Brain Fog, Transvaginal RLT to Reduce Pain & Melanoma

New research shows that you can treat COVID-19 brain fog with red light therapy by either treating the brain directly OR by doing full-body treatments. How cool is that?! On this week's solosode of The Red Light Report, we will dig into three separate photobiomodulation articles that cover an array of topics and continue to add to the depth of our understanding of red light therapy's potential and, equally important, its potential limitations. As I eluded to above, the first article I will report on comes from one of our good friends and former podcast guests, Praveen Arany, on how brain fog secondary to COVID-19 can be treated with red light therapy either transcranially or via full-body treatments. That's awesome to know, as that gives us options and some flexibility en route to positive benefits for this health malady; as far as I'm concerned, it's nice to have options!The second article is for the women out there and/or those that work in the women's health field: transvaginal red light therapy in order to help reduce pain related to interstitial cystitis/ bladder pain syndrome. For many of you, this may be the first time you have heard about red light therapy inside the vagina. However, this type of a treatment has been an option for women for quite some time with many potential health benefits. This is just the first time I have reported on it on the podcast.The last article is about red light therapy and its potential with treating skin cancer. There is a decent amount of overlap with the article we covered last week on RLT and cancer, but it's always great to hear the information from a slightly different vantage point and different researchers. ​​​​It's nice to cover several topics in a single episode to help convey red light therapy's many potentials and versatility. At the very least, it goes to show that darn near anyone and everyone can benefit from a little red light therapy in their lives​. As always, light up your health and enjoy! - Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following: Intro: (0:00) Get 15% off The Glow - BioLight's new handheld device (limited time only): (1:33) COVID-19 brain fog and photobiomodulation: (2:32) Women's health: transvaginal photobiomodulation: (14:03) Skin cancer and photobiomodulation: (21:56) Near-infrared and melanoma: (26:10) - Research article from the episode: Use of either Transcranial or Whole-Body Photobiomodulation Treatments improves COVID-19 Brain Fog Transvaginal Photobiomodulation Improves Pain in Women with Pelvic Muscle Tenderness and Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome: A Preliminary Observational Study Responses of melanoma cells to photobiomodulation depend on cell pigmentation and light parametersLearn more about these topics and on how RLT can be beneficial:Brain & Cognitive Health Women's Health Skin Health - Check out BioLight's newest device: the Glow! - 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 - Stay up-to-date on social media: Dr. Mike Belkowski: Instagram LinkedIn   BioLight: Instagram YouTube Facebook

Research: Cancer & Red Light Therapy; Rabbit Hole: How Light Irradiance is Used as a Marketing Tactic

On this week's episode of The Red Light Report, I unveil BioLight's newest product, the Glow! I detail why the Glow was developed, what makes it special and why it is significantly different than any other handheld red light therapy device on the market. More importantly, I cover one photobiomodulation research article in detail on a topic that I constantly get questions about: cancer. One of the amazing features of red light therapy is that, according to the research, there are zero contraindications for implementing it for a given health condition; that includes cancer. Of course, that comes with the caveat that one should not directly irradiate the site of an active cancer, but can safely treat other parts of the body. And that is not necessarily because irradiating the active cancer site would lead to negative consequences (in some research it has, in others it has actually been beneficial), rather we simply do not know enough to confidently provide guidance on how to best yield red light therapy efficaciously. Said another way, better safe than sorry.With all of that being said, this WALT (World Association for Photobiomodulation Therapy; the "L" used to stand for Laser) paper provides some clarification on the topic of red light therapy and cancer; basically, highlighting what we do and don't know.  At the very least, this provides guide rails, much needed expert perspective on a delicate topic and informs us where we stand in the landscape of red light therapy and cancer. I also have a couple of impromptu rabbit holes I go down, one that includes how many red light therapy companies are inflating their light irradiance as a marketing tactic.With every piece of research we unearth, we only learn more about the amazing healing frequencies of red and near-infrared light. As always, light up your health and enjoy! - Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following: Intro: (0:00) Contraindications?: (2:27) BioLight's newest product The Glow: (5:27) Red light therapy and cancer: (12:45) Photobiomodulation research article: (13:31) Intro to the article out of the frontiers in oncology journal: (14:19) Photobiomodulation parameters: (17:27) Importance of consistent exposure: (22:17) LEDs for home use: (26:18) Light irradiance: (31:23) Red Light therapy and tumors: (35:58) Safety data: (37:44) Human clinical safety data: (39:38) Xerostomia and hyposalivation: (44:40) Bone necrosis: (48:40) Hand-foot syndrome: (49:08) Graft vs host disease: (49:29) Chemotherapy-induced alopecia: (50:59) Cancer treatment and quality of life: (52:29) - Research article from the episode:Photobiomodulation therapy in management of cancer therapy-induced side effects: WALT position paper 2022 Learn more about RLT's benefits for: Cancer - Check out BioLight's newest device: the Glow! - 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 - Stay up-to-date on social media: Dr. Mike Belkowski: Instagram LinkedIn   BioLight: Instagram YouTube Facebook

Biological Dentistry & the Three Killers: Metals, Root Canals & Cavitations w/ Dr. Dominik Nischwitz

In a world where leaky gums leads to leaky gut and amalgam fillings are literal antennas for your phones and other nearby EMF-producing devices, it's not difficult to become justifiably fervent that your entire health begins in your mouth. My view on oral health was completely transfigured when I listened to Dr. Dominik Nischwitz, today's guest on The Red Light Report, on Ben Greenfield's podcast three years ago. Up to that point, I was under the illusion that oral health meant keeping your teeth clean, free of plaque and cavities purely for the sake of having a healthy mouth and that's where it ended. But after reading Dr. Nischwitz's book this past week and then speaking with him personally, I have re-affirmed my belief that virtually any and all health truly begins with optimizing your oral health and oral care regimen. However, you'll learn from Dr. Dome that many of us may need to unfix some of traditional medicine's dental procedures in order to truly move forward with a strong foundation of oral health. Otherwise, the vast majority of us are walking around with perpetual, low-level inflammatory issues (that we ourselves or allopathic dentists won't be able to perceive!), never-ending mercury vapor being released from fillings and many other potential vitality killers. During our conversation today, Dr. Dome covers countless topics that are likely make your jaw drop, including the simplicity of his oral hygiene regimen, how he treats patients at his dental practice in Germany, the interplay of the oral and gut microbiome, the three health killers (metals, root canals, cavitations), how nutrition and your diet is more important than brushing your teeth and much more!​​Dr. Dominik Nischwitz (AKA Dr. Dome) is know as "worlds leading biological dentist" and one of the first ceramic implant specialists. Dr. Dome is an international speaker and Author of "It's All in Your Mouth", with the goal of establishing biological dentistry as the new standard for health optimization protocols for all health practitioners and dentists alike using the term: "health starts in your mouth." Dr. Nischwitz has exclusively used ceramic implants since 2013, placing more than 5000 to date, and is considered a pioneer in the field of biological and holistic dentistry. His other passions include functional medicine, holistic nutrition and competitive sports. Dr. Dome trains traditional dentists in proper biological dentistry practices, and believes that optimal health starts in the mouth. This is another conversation that could've gone on for hours upon hours, as Dr. Dome is truly a beast of knowledge when it comes to biological dentistry and oral health. This is an episode I will personally listen to a couple of times and, of course, I HIGHLY recommend you read his book that covers much more information. Enjoy listening and learning from Dr. Dome and, as always, light up your health! - Dr. Mike Belkowski & Dr. Dominik Nischwitz discuss the following: Intro: (0:16) How he became the world's leading biological dentist: (3:35) Read his book - It's All in Your Mouth: (7:29) His oral hygiene routine: (7:54) His dental practice: (11:46) Biofilm, the pellicle, and the saliva for oral health: (14:34) Gut vs oral microbiome importance: (19:18) #1 chronic disease worldwide is tooth decay: (20:08) Health Optimization Summit: (21:09) Wisdom teeth removal and its effects (23:45) We are a battery: (30:56) A 2008 study on antennas in the body: (31:10) Root canals and cavitations from a biological perspective: (33:34) Whether or not you should get wisdom teeth removed: (38:13) Nutrition and lifestyle are the most important: (40:55) His online course: (45:53) Red light therapy and grounding: (51:18) Teeth whitening strategies: (53:30) Toothpaste recommendations: (54:27) Water picks: (55:53) Flossing: (57:05) Hydrogen peroxide: (57:52) Ozone: (59:40) The biggest missing link to optimal health: (1:01:56) - Read Dr. Dome's book: It's All in Your Mouth - Watch this on YouTube - Where to Learn More From & About Dr. Dome:   Find him on social media: Dr. Dome's Tap Bio   Visit his website: DNA Health & Aesthetics - Check out BioLight's new, cutting-edge full-body product: The Adapt System - Save 20% via BioLight Bundles all year long! - 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 - Stay up-to-date on social media: Instagram

Chinese Medicine, Acupressure Points for Healing Organs/Emotions & Creating a New Red Light Therapy Treatment Paradigm w/ Dr. Chris Motley

Today's guest is genuinely one of my favorite people to talk to, as we are kindred spirits in so many ways. This became even more abundantly clear on this week's episode of The Red Light Report, as Dr. Chris Motley and I both agreed to join forces on a special red light therapy project (that I am incredibly excited about!). This manifested completely out of thin air and was 100% impromptu during the middle of our conversation. If you are a longtime TRLR listener, you likely recognize this name, as he was a guest back in September '21, where we cover some fascinating topics: frequency therapy, dry needling vs. acupuncture, emotions related to specific organs, light/energy/resonance and so much more! I highly recommend going back and listening to our first conversation -- the link to that episode is in the show notes below.As a quick review, Dr. Chris Motley is a doctor of chiropractic, is credentialed in acupuncture, is a highly respected expert in Chinese Medicine and Frequency Medicine and also has certifications in Chiro + Plus Kinesiology (CPK) and Neuro Emotional Technique. With his wealth of knowledge, he is a presenter at symposiums and is also a podcast co-host on Dr. Josh Axe's, Ancient Health Podcast. Dr. Motley also announced that he is now beginning a membership where you can join and learn from him in a more intimate setting and garner more of his amazing holistic knowledge and skillset. I highly recommend checking his membership out  — I know I will!During our conversation today, Dr. Motley goes into some interesting and highly-engaging Chinese and frequency medicine and topics, such as how we can best transition our bodies and organs out of the slower, recovering mode of the winter season and into the reawakening and growing process of the spring season. He even walks through some hands-on techniques for self-treatment to help facilitate this process.  It felt like this conversation went by in a couple of minutes and Dr. Motley and I could've easily talked for hours longer. However, I am always grateful for his time and the wisdom he is impassioned to share with anyone and everyone that is interested in improving their many aspects of health holistically. Enjoy learning from Dr. Motley and, as always, light up your health! - Dr. Mike Belkowski and Dr. Chris Motley discuss the following:  Intro: (0:16) What's new in his life: (2:57) His interactive membership: (6:12) Avoiding burnout: (8:22) Overworking: (10:31)  Chinese medicine and living by its rules: (12:12) Transitioning into spring out of winter: (15:01) How to know when Chinese medicine is working: (19:01) Being in tune with your body: (21:25)  Emotions tied to the gall bladder: (22:32) Negative gall bladder health and how it manifests in the body: (23:40) Releasing anger: (25:00) Cupping specific areas of the body: (29:03) How hard to press on pressure points: (31:17) Dry needling: (32:46) Taking your health into your own hands (36:48) Red light therapy and Chinese medicine: (39:54) Red light therapy and dry needling: (44:45) Fusing old-age knowledge with new-age technology: (45:58) Translucent needles that can transfer light: (46:59) Acupuncture on a consistent basis for maintaining health and wellness: (49:41) How oral health affects overall wellness: (52:21) - Watch this on YouTube - Listen to our previous conversation from the episode in September 2021, "Energy & Emotions, Frequency Therapy & Acupuncture vs. Dry Needling w/ Dr. Christopher Motley"Apple Podcasts Spotify - Where to Learn More From & About Dr. Chris Motley:   Find him on social media: Instagram @DoctorMotley Facebook @DoctorMotley   Go to his website: DoctorMotley.com - Check out BioLight's new, cutting-edge full-body product: The Adapt System - Save 20% via BioLight Bundles all year long! - 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 - Stay up-to-date on social media: Instagram

Research: Transcranial Photobiomodulation on Football Players w/ Potential Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE)

On this week's episode of The Red Light Report, I will peel back the curtain on BioLight's newest piece of innovative red light therapy technology: the Adapt System. Many of you likely heard about it when it was officially released a couple of months ago, but I wanted to give an explanation of what makes the Adapt System, which consists of the Adapt Table and the Adapt Panel, so unique, versatile and a must-have for any physician/practitioner, longevity clinic, med spa, recovery/performance center, yoga studio/cross fit gym, etc. that is looking to implement red light therapy for their patients and clients. After that, we will spend the bulk of the episode on one piece of photobiomodulation research that looks at transcranial RLT for treating the brains of four ex-football players with possible chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE. And CTE has become a very hot topic in the NFL, especially ever since the movie, Concussion (starring Will Smith), was released back in 2015. However, the concern regarding CTE in football, other sports and other aspects of life has only grown and remains ever-present to this day.It is also appropriate to recognize that this particular study utilized only four participants, which is very low in the world of research. However, even with that in mind, the results ascertained in this study simply by directing near-infrared light to the brain is unequivocally profound... and the results were achieved in only six weeks!Hopefully you find this episode fascinating and insightful. As always, light up your health (especially your brain)! - Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following: 0:16 - The Adapt System - BioLight's new, cutting-edge full-body product 8:33 - Photobiomodulation research on treating concussions 9:40 - CTE disease 15:09 - Treating strokes with photobiomodulation 16:12 - LED vs laser treatment 18:57 - Reactive oxygen species and free radicals 19:29 - How often to use red light therapy 25:12 - Less irratibility & anxiety 26:20 - Transcranial photobiomodulation treatment 27:20 - Increased BDNF 27:46 - Treatment of PTSD 38:31 - The conclusion of the article _ Research article from the episode:Transcranial Photobiomodulation Treatment: Significant Improvements in Four Ex-Football Players with Possible Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy - Learn more about RLT's benefits for: Brain & Cognitive Health - Check out BioLight's new, cutting-edge full-body product: The Adapt System _ Save 20% via BioLight Bundles all year long! _ 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 _ Stay up-to-date on social media: Instagram

A Bright Future for Light: DHA, Lion’s Mane, Essential Fatty Acids & Red Light Therapy w/ Lance Schuttler

Could the combination of red light and blue light cause an electrical event, even if minuscule? I am infatuated with interacting and conversing with experts in the holistic health and wellness space whom possess unique, profound information  —  you learn so much from these individuals!
