Ep 162Pain Relief via the Eyes: Incredibly Effective Neurological Approaches for Improving Health w/ Abe Al-Baba
We've all heard that "the eye is the window to the soul," but have you heard of strategically utilizing the visual system to get rid of pain, improve emotions and normalize countless health conditions that are otherwise difficult to treat? Today's conversation with Abe Al-Baba will knock your socks off with both the education he provides and the anecdotes he shares with how he helps his clients reach peak performance and/or improve their overall health status. This is one of the more interesting conversations I've had in quite some time!Abe and I met at the HYDRATE Summit that was put on by Tracy Duhs a couple of weekends ago. We were there to learn about water, but he and I got to talking and soon discovered that we shared countless other mutual interests. After hearing about his novel techniques for successfully helping his clients, some of which are seemingly beyond simplistic (but have deep neurological basis), I knew I had to have him on the podcast so that he could share his knowledge and stories with you all. He even walked me through a couple of quick assessments/treatments that I can use on myself, including how to treat my vagus nerve with red light therapy! Isn't that something we could all benefit from in this fast-paced, high-stress world we live in?Abe Al-Baba is the author of Fuel Your Performance™ and CEO of 3 in 1 Elite, a sports performance company. His absolute passion is paving the way to a healthy lifestyle through fitness and nutrition. Abe is one of San Diego’s Top Trainer’s by Discover/Pacific SD Magazine.

Ep 160The Red Light Therapy Treatment Protocol Ecosystem
Developing a red light therapy treatment protocol has never been so easy and individualized! My passion project for the last 6 - 10 months has been putting together an ecosystem that will allow anyone with any type of red light therapy device from any company to easily and accurately produce a protocol based on what they are trying to treat. At the end of the day, I believe that this tool will become ubiquitous amongst the red light therapy space — from those using RLT on themselves all the way to physicians and medical facilities utilizing RLT for their patients.As it currently stands, people have been typically been provided with the archaic advice of, "Do red light therapy 20 - 30 minutes every day!" But what if one person has a higher-powered RLT panel or laser compared to someone that has a lower-powered RLT or handheld device? What if someone is utilizing RLT for anti-aging skin versus someone employing RLT for dementia or TBI? Let's not forget that every single person responds to a given treatment differently! So a blanketed statement of advice, such as the one above, never made sense to me.Thus, I set out to develop protocols that you have all seen in the first four editions of the eBook. But it hit me last year that while that was a great step in the right direction, it still handcuffed a lot of people because those protocols are essentially centered around a particular light irradiance. So I set out to create the ecosystem that is being released today that, again, allows a person with any type of RLT device to produce an effective, nuanced protocol based on what they are trying to treat.

Ep 159Research: Methylene Blue For TBI, Brain Ischemia & Alzheimer's; Antioxidant Therapeutics Targeting the Mitochondria For TBI
The average brain weighs about three pounds (less than 2% of the average human weight), yet it accounts for about 20% of the body's total energy consumption. That inherently means the brain is extremely mitochondrial dense, as the mitochondria produce ~95% of all the energy in body. Ok, so all numbers aside, the brain is an immensely important organ from a health, energy and, thus, mitochondrial perspective. That means we need to have strategies in place for both acute trauma to the brain and for chronic conditions like neurodegeneration.In today's solosode, we will review two hot-off-the-press articles that happen to surround this very topic. The first article looks at the potential of methylene blue (MB) as a key substance that can effectively address three exceptionally varying brain conditions: traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), ischemia and Alzheimer's disease. At the end of the day, MB has a profound role to play in all of those ailments.The second article hones in on TBIs and antioxidant therapeutics that specifically target the mitochondria. Based on the abundant information provided in the article (albeit they did not include MB or C60 as an antioxidant strategy; I imagine there results would be even more staggering if they did!), it is quite clear that even in an acute injury, such as TBI, the mitochondria play an ever central role — in this case, both the damage from the physical trauma and also the healing and recovery process.Hint hint: we already know that red light therapy is becoming widely accepted as an effective modality for treating head traumas, such as concussions, TBIs, etc,. Now we have this new research looking at the impact of antioxidant therapeutics that target the mitochondria. Antioxidants donate electrons. Methylene blue and C60 are some of the best electron donors available as therapeutics. However, unlike most other antioxidants, both MB and C60 can actually get inside the mitochondria. The Mitochondrial Triad has a massive role to play here!

Ep 158Research: Benefits of C60, Red Light Therapy Reduces Time in ICU & Photobiomodulation of Dysmenorrhea
Did you know C60 can be beneficial for the health of dogs and other pets just like it is for humans? It should make sense, as, after all, our pet / family members have mitochondria just like us! I've personally been giving my german shepherd some BioC60 in the morning and evening with his meals. But now there is some interesting research demonstrating that C60 mixed in oil can significantly reduce the blood levels of CRP in dogs, which is a blood marker for inflammation. In today's episode, I review that very study on C60 and also discuss how different types of oils (i.e., MCT oil vs. avocado oil vs. olive oil) allow for different concentration levels of C60. Do you know which oil allows for maximal C60 concentration? That same article also looks at C60 for skin health and demonstrates many ways that carbon 60 can augment our integumentary system.I also review two photobiomodulation studies that are hot off the press and published this year: one that looks at how red light therapy can reduce the stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) by 30% and another that provides compelling evidence for red light therapy to reduce pain associated with dysmenorrhea.Lastly, I cover a german article published last month that suggests that dysfunctional mitochondria may play a large role in individuals dealing with migraines. And if that is truly the case, it would make sense that methylene blue would have a major role to play by reversing the energy crisis caused by dysfunctional mitochondriaIf 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.

Ep 157A Methylene Blue (and Leucomethylene Blue) Conversation w/ Dr. Yoshi Rahm
As methylene blue becomes more and more popular, it becomes paramount to seek out and learn from trusted sources and experts in the area. Luckily, I was able to sit down and have a fireside chat with the highly-respected and sought out osteopathic family physician, Dr. Yoshi Rahm. What I appreciate about Dr. Yoshi is that he not only speaks about methylene blue from a high-level, didactic perspective, but he can offer invaluable insight and wisdom since he utilizes IV methylene blue with his patients in his clinic. What Dr. Yoshi really drives home about methylene blue is really just how safe it is, even at doses much higher than you would expect!Thanks to our mutual connection of Dr. Katie Carter, whom plays host in this episode and suggested that Dr. Yoshi and I meet and discuss all things methylene blue, we have an engaging and spirited discussion about methylene blue and also leucomethylene blue, which Dr. Yoshi was less familiar with due to their being a lack of available product on the market (until BioBlue Leuco!). We also cover other topics, such as the new RLT treatment protocol ecosystem I am about to release and why I believe it will become a ubiquitous tool and resource for anyone and everyone that utilizes red light therapy. My hope is that you come away from this conversation with more excitement, belief and/or trust in methylene blue after listening and learning from Dr. Yoshi. He is a wealth of knowledge and I have no doubt we will be having more of these conversations on the podcast in the future.I hope you enjoy the conversation today with Dr. Yoshi Rahm.

Ep 155The Mitochondrial Theory of Aging & the Top 10 Health Benefits of the Third Pillar of The Mitochondrial Triad
With the full reveal of The Mitochondrial Triad coming soon, it begs the question: why do I believe the focal point of our health, wellness, and, more precisely, our longevity is centered around or organelle friends, the mitochondria? And with the first two pillars being disclosed, in red light therapy and methylene blue, what is the third pillar? All of these questions are answered in today's solosode!For decades, the primary thesis for why we age was The Free Radical Theory of aging. However, this doesn't hold up in instances where someone consistently exercises (and, thus, produces more ATP that inherently produces more of the natural byproduct of free radicals) that leads to health- and longevity-promoting benefits. That's where The Mitochondrial Theory of Aging emerges and is currently the most respected postulation on why we age. However, the first rendition of this theory still included free radicals as a main culprit for aging; this was remedied in the second version, which removed free radicals as the central causation for aging and suggested the main source was in the numerous mechanisms lying within the mitochondria. Ultimately, this is the genesis that fuels the importance of The Mitochondrial Triad.After a thorough discussion on The Mitochondrial Theory of Aging, I cover the third pillar of The Mitochondrial Triad! I dive into the top 10 health benefits and numerous other health benefits that have been proven out in the research.

Ep 154Circadian Health, Quantum Biology & Leptin Sensitivity w/ Sarah Kleiner
I jump at any chance I get to listen, learn and converse with an expert in the area of circadian and quantum health. Luckily, one of my favorite educators in this domain, Sarah Kleiner, was available to sit down for an engaging chat. Sarah is phenomenal at breaking down rather complex subjects and lucidly explaining the "low hanging fruit" of quantum health with such simplicity, even a cave man could do it! Yes, pun intended. In today's conversation, we cover an array of topics ranging from morning routines and sun exposure to the importance of eating breakfast and leptin sensitivity to red light therapy's impact on wellness to the role of mitochondria in quantum health to a relatively new theory showing that deuterium-depleted water may be a more important end-product of oxidative phosphorylation than ATP (yes, that token of energy)... and much, much more!Sarah Kleiner is a Quantum Health Coach with the Quantum Biology Collective (levels 1 & 2), a Certified Nutrition Coach with NASM, and just completed the New Biology Curriculum with Dr. Tom Cowan. Sarah has over 14 years of experience working one on one with clients to optimize nutrition, lifestyle & mindset.

Ep 150Red Light Therapy Anecdotes & Leucomethylene Blue
Ever curious about what results people in the "real world" are achieving with red light therapy? Well this past week on BioLight's Instagram page, we had a feed post to elicit some responses and, oh boy, did it ever. So much that I felt compelled to highlight some of the comments left by people to showcase the variety of ways people are successfully utilizing red light therapy to benefit their health and wellness. From vision to numerous skin health benefits to excelling in exercise/lifting to improving children's sleep and more!The proverbial meat and potatoes of this episode is introducing and learning about methylene blue's reduced version, leucomethylene blue. This is what your body intrinsicly processes methylene blue into that is ingested, but there are some major advantages to taking leucomethylene blue. It's almost instantly bioavailable (as your body does not have to break it down, as it does with MB), the antioxidant effect is nearly immediate (for the same reason) and it has even less toxins than MB (since reducing the MB to leucoMB further removes any metals, toxins. etc; but keep in mind that pharmaceutical grade MB is already very pure. This is only to say the leucoMB is inherently more pure because of it being further reduced and, thus further purified).The above advantages have led to the following personal anecdotal responses since I started using leucomethylene blue: a more rapid cognitive/focus boost and enhanced exercise performance (I have found leucoMB to function essentially as a pre-workout, but without all the junk and jitters. Just clean energy!).After being introduced to leucoMB, I then cover a couple of studies that demonstrate its massive efficacy, particularly as it relates to neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's Disease. We already know that most of the methylene blue ingested ends up in the brain — which is no different for leucoMB — but it appears that leucoMB may have a more pronounced effect. I have no doubt that as time goes on, we'll more more and more about the advantages of methylene blue and leucomethylene blue.Lastly, I announce the release of BioLight's newest supplement: BioBlue Leuco. At the time of this solosode release, this product will be released within the next 24 hours, so stay tuned for more updates! I hope you enjoy the information in today's solosode. Please share this episode with family, friends and colleagues if you find the content especially interesting and/or impactful.As always, light up your health! - Key points: Introduction and BioLight Supplement: 00:00:01 - 00:01:51 The podcast opens with a tantalizing preview of a methylene blue derivative in the Red Light Report.

Ep 149Infrared Sauna Protocol; Pretreatment w/ Methylene Blue; Impact of Gut Dysbiosis & Mitochondrial Dysfunction on Long COVID
Huzzah! Another week, another solosode and more research to delve into and learn from. Just what the doctor ordered...But before we cover research, I thought it would be worth our while to learn from the Finnish biohacking experts — one of which is previous TRLR guest, Dr. Olli Sovijärvi — in their massive tome, Biohacker's Handbook. Specifically, I thought it would be great provide you with some strategies and tactics for your sauna sessions via a sauna protocol they provide in the book. It's a protocol I've used myself over the years and works wonders for detoxing.On the research side of things, we first dive into an interesting study that looks at pretreatment with methylene blue in neonatals to reduce toxin-induced brain and cognitive deficits. While it may not seem like the most relatable topic, there are a lot of great take away points from the article that I discuss. The second article thoroughly addresses how the combination of our gut microbiome and dybiosis along with dysfunctional mitochondria and suppressed NAD+ levels set the stage for the dreaded milieu of chronic symptoms associated with Long COVID. While they don't provide solutions for the issues they highlight, it's safe to say that both red light therapy and methylene blue have a major role to play with the road to recovery from Long COVID, based on the root causes outlined in the article.

Ep 148Health & Longevity Benefits of Sauna, Infrared Sauna vs. Red Light Therapy & Photobiomodulation For Premyopia
One of the more common questions I get asked, as it relates to red light therapy, is how is it different than infrared saunas? Do they elicit the same health benefits? Which one is "better"? If I had to choose one, which modality should I use? Understandably, the major hangup and confusion comes from both technologies integrating infrared light... granted of different flavors of infrared and, thus, different physiological responses.We cover the basics of what infrared saunas are, the difference between traditional vs. infrared saunas, discuss the top 10 benefits derived from consistent hyperthermia treatment and more. Possibly, most importantly, I delineate the differences between infrared saunas and red light therapy and emphasize the importance of not doing red light therapy and sauna simultaneously! This is especially important to understand and appreciate, as I have seen more and more often that infrared sauna companies are incorporating red light therapy (either for ambience lighting and/or actual red light therapy panels and other devices inside of the sauna). Long story short: the heat from the sauna inhibits the benefits you would otherwise obtain from red light therapy. Lastly, we will cover a very, very hot-off-the-press photobiomodulation research article that looks at red light therapy for treating children with premyopia. In a world with exponentially increased screen time, particularly in youths, any type of alternative modality to help prevent, stave off and reverse eye and vision issues is a massive deal. If you have eyes, this study has some groundbreaking results that you will want to learn about. I hope you enjoy the information in today's solosode.

Ep 147Research: Concussions, Plantar Fasciitis, Primary Mitochondrial Diseases, & Methylene Blue & Toluidine Blue Combats Cancer
This week we are going to dig into some interesting research I've been compiling the last several months (and I have plenty more where this came from!). We will cover an array of our favorite topics in red light therapy, mitochondria and methylene blue. We will first look at a piece of research that discusses primary mitochondrial diseases (PMDs); however, the article is directed towards physicians and how they can start to recognize patterns and red flags associated with various PMDs (i.e., mitochondrial dysfunction). To me this is extremely exciting in the sense that this type of mitochondrial information is (slowly but surely) permeating its way into the allopathic world. It can't happen fast enough!The second article looks at methylene blue and a new, yet quite similar synthetic dye salt, blue compound called toluidine blue. The study looks at how when used together, they have a synergistic effect against oral squamous cell carcinoma. I need to know more about toluidine blue!The third article looks at the effect of transcranial photobiomodulation on concussions. This study is a perfect example of a "non-result" not necessarily being a bad thing or that is should be taken at face value. I will discuss why.The last, and likely most relevant, study I review is on red light therapy's impact on reducing pain and improving function with plantar fasciitis (PF). I've personally never dealt with PF, but I have treated it countless times as a physical therapist and know many other people that have dealt with it -- long story short, it is not fun in the slightest and is incredibly easy for it to become a chronic and/or recurring issue. Red light therapy certainly has a role to play with PF. And, based on my experience, cupping may be one of the BEST modalities in the fight against PF.

Ep 146Health & Wellness Benefits of Cupping: From Supple Fascia to Anti-aging Skin & Beyond!
It seems that (rather unintentionally) at the beginning of each year, I begin with some episodes on some interesting and novel topics. Two years ago it was reviewing a book on extensive and profound research from the late 1800s to mid-1900s on how light entering our eyes affects virtually every system in our body. Last year, we took a deep dive into the world of grounding (aka, earthing) and its many wonderful and electron-rich benefits. To begin this year, I want to introduce you all into the world of cupping.Some of you are likely familiar with cupping and may even be using it on yourself and/or clients/patients. Personally, I found it to be an indispensable tool with my patients and on myself, particularly in combination with dry needling and red light therapy. But it seems that it is still a highly underutilized tool, both by practitioners and the public alike. Perhaps some of that comes from its heavily holistic background that may give it an aura of being mystical. Others may think that it's a therapy you need to be certified in and/or heavily educated in. But I am hear to tell you that it is exceptionally similar to red light therapy in that it is extremely safe and a "very low risk, high reward" modality. In this episode, we will cover all aspects of cupping -- from its history to how it became popular to what it can help with to how it can be used and even how combining it with red light therapy may give you the best of both worlds. Any and all athletes/exercise enthusiasts MUST be including this in their performance and recovery regimen and, equally importantly, anyone and everyone can attain profound health and wellness benefits by cupping on a regular basis. Listen to the end to hear about BioLight's newest product and how it seamlessly combines the advantages of the negative pressure vacuum mechanism of cupping and the mitochondrial-boosting properties of red light therapy into one simple and sleek modality. It's simply a game changer for athletes and health enthusiasts alike!

Ep 145Top 10 Benefits of Methylene Blue [Top Episode of 2023!]
As we visit the third and final "Top Episode of 2023", we will turn our attention to our relatively new best red light therapy friend: methylene blue! For those of you that have already heard this episode and/or are familiar with this polarizing substance, this episode is a fantastic review; for those of you that are less familiar, this is a great introduction into the vast potential of methylene blue.... Let's get blue on today's solosode of The Red Light Report! The last couple of weeks you have likely heard and/or learned about BioLight's newest innovative product, BioBlue, which is an enhanced methylene blue and mitochondrial supplement. Some of you are even using it right now! But I felt it would behoove all of us to take a deeper dive into this mysterious synthetic textile dye that happens to seemingly be one of the most profound health, wellness and mitochondrial-boosting substances available. And it is a major synergist when combined with red light therapy! So today, I thought it would be great to review the top 10 uses for methylene blue, as professed by scientific research. And while I don't want to give away too much in this intro, I feel obliged to tell you a few of the things that I find most exciting and promising about methylene blue:1.) Secondary to its ease of crossing the blood-brain barrier, a vast majority of the methylene blue consumed concentrates in the brain, which is why it has virtually endless brain health benefits (i.e., reduced symptoms of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, dementia, depression, PTSD and improved cognition, mood and energy);2.) Methylene blue has an innate intelligence to help whichever cells are most sick, diseased and/or cancerous first before moving along and helping other healthier cells;3.) There are only two known interventions capable dissociating nitric oxide from the cytochrome c oxidase (which then allows oxygen into the mitochondria for more efficient energy production; remember, the more energy in a cell = less disease state/more vitality in cell): red light therapy and methylene blue. Remember, none of this information is a substitute for medical advice. But just like when I learned about red light therapy for the first time and was in awe at its endless health benefits, I am equally impressed by the limitless potential of methylene blue. Both are safe, efficacious and likely have a pivotal role to play for anyone looking to optimize their health and longevity.

Ep 144Mechanisms of How Red Light Therapy Works [Top Episode of 2023!]
For the second top episode of 2023, we are going back to the basics! That may sound boring to some, but for those that really want to understand how red light therapy can by modern day's "magic bullet," it's worth learning (and, for some of you, reviewing) the foundations of the mitochondria and the mechanisms of how red light therapy works. I'm a dork and I love this type of information. I hope you learn and enjoy it as well... 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?).

Ep 143Grounding, Pt. 1— Is Earthing the Best Anti-Inflammatory in the World? [Top Episode of 2023!]
As we're rapidly approaching the end of 2023, I wanted to revisit some of the most popular episodes of the year! Today's episode was the most popular download of the year. You longtime listeners will remember this fascinating solosode on grounding and, perhaps, it is worth the review and listening again. For those that have recently joined and are new to The Red Light Report, you are in for a treat with this highly fascinating, informative episode on grounding and its truly remarkable benefits. I hope you all enjoy... From the original podcast description:"Commonly called Earthing, grounding has been an available source of energy to our cells (from an evolutionary perspective) as long as the sun; perhaps, that is why is has such a powerful affect over our biology. Ironically, just as we have disengaged ourselves from consistent sun exposure (mal-illumination, anyone?) we have ignorantly disconnected ourselves from the very planet we live on. Consider this: the mere rubber between our feet and the surface of the earth may be the largest culprit of modern day chronic health diseases and cancer. Seem far-fetched? During this three-part solosode series, I will be unpacking some of the most important health information you can hear at this moment in time from the book, Earthing: The Most Important Health Discovery Ever. Throughout this series, you will learn that, like optimizing your light environment, it is the act of simply becoming aware and consistently applying this free "treatment" (of grounding) to your health regimen that could have life-changing results for you, family members and/or friends. Like red light therapy, the list of health conditions that can be mitigated, prevented and even reversed with grounding are endless. I couldn't be more excited to get this information out to you all and begin 2023 off on the right foot — preferably, both feet on the ground absorbing earth's free electrons.

Ep 141Research: Is Methylene Blue the Answer to Anti-Aging & Longevity?
It's a wrap! The Spotify variety, if you know what I mean... This year I thought it would be fun to do a live "unwrapping" of the Podcasters Wrapped, which provides fun information and insights about your podcast (those that use Spotify are oh so familiar with this fun annual event!). I found it amazing and hysterical that The Red Light Report community has nearly identical tastes to me, both in regards to top podcast genres listened to and top music genres listened to. I have no doubt we could all get along! On a more mitochondrial note, I found a highly interesting research article on methylene blue and its potential as an anti-aging drug. To a large degree, this should come as no surprise given methylene blue's immense and dynamic impact on the mitochondria and, as we all know, the inherent tie our mitochondria's health and function has on our overall welling and lifespan. The review discusses the anti-aging effects of MB with a focus on the relationship between mitochondrial dysfunction and aging.The article did a fantastic job of verifying this by looking at the profound role "the blue" can play on the aging brain, particularly those neurodegenerative conditions we associate with our latter years -- Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. From the article: "Since MB is an FDA-approved medicine with a long history, the safety of MB usage has been thoroughly evaluated. The exploration of MB utilization in aging-related conditions can help us understand the aging process.

Ep 140Redefining Beauty & Health, Holistic Dental Care, Essential Oils & Harnessing Sunlight w/ Nadine Artemis
Today's guest, Nadine Artemis, is simply an amazing, vibrant being with an extraordinary, voracious curiosity and a brilliant mind for authentic health and wellness. Ultimately, these wonderful attributes coalesced and led to Nadine creating her very own luxury health & beauty company, Living Libations. She is described by Alanis Morissette as “a true-sense visionary," while Aveda founder, Horst Rechelbacher, calls Nadine “a pure flower of creativity.” I can corroborate both of these testimonials after the illuminating conversation I had with Nadine, where we cover an array of fascinating topics from sunlight to essential oils to holistic dentistry to debunking beauty and health product myths and much more! Living Libations is a luxury line of organic wild-crafted non-GMO serums, elixirs, and essential oils for those seeking the purest of the pure botanical natural health/wellness and beauty products on the planet. We discuss many of these products and why Nadine feels so impassioned to create them and the "why" behind what makes them unique and highly sought after.For example, sunscreen theoretically "protects" you from the sun while it is instead laced with toxic chemicals and blocks you from receiving the beneficial, nutritional light from the sun; this is a double whammy with negative health benefits. Nadine would rather advocate for utilizing a product that has zero toxins and, instead, integrates natural elements and well-being substances (i.e. essential oils) that promotes healthy sun exposure while also providing nourishing health advantages; in this case, a double whammy with positive health benefits! She carries this principal forward with face and hair beauty products, arm pit solutions and oral health creations.Nadine is also the author of two books, Renegade Beauty and Holistic Dental Care (links to these books below), as well as a frequent commentator on health and beauty for media outlets and her products have received rave reviews in the New York Times, Goop, New York Magazine, Vogue, InStyle, the Hollywood Reporter and many more. She is a beauty philosopher, aromacologist, and botanical muse. Nadine believes in simplicity and a natural, rhythmic approach -she is a disruptor to the mainstream idea of "wellness" “beauty” and “beauty products.” Needless to say, Nadine is a brilliant mind with a whole-hearted, vibrant soul. She is simply a joy to learn from. As always, learn lots and light up your health! - Key points: Introduction (00:00:00 - 00:01:32:23): Dr. Mike welcomes Nadine Artemis, creator of Living Libations, to discuss her journey and holistic approach to beauty and wellness.

Ep 139Preventive Medicine, Longevity & Biohacking w/ Dr. Ron Primas
Back when I was running my solo physical therapy practice, ProActive Health, my mission and ultimate goal was to advocate for individuals to be, well, proactive in their approach to health versus reactive. Of course, it is much easier — both time- and energy-wise, as well as financially — to prevent injuries and illnesses from occurring compared to falling prey to and enduring a long, drawn out course of treatment that can sometimes be, if bad enough, in perpetuity. In my mind, preventative medicine is undoubtedly the future of healthcare for a multitude of reasons and today's guest, Dr. Ron Primas, has been pioneering this model for decades — putting him well ahead of the curve, especially under the allopathic paradigm. Dr. Primas is a board-certified physician with over 30 years of experience in assisting New York City residents and travelers with their health needs. Educated via the traditional allopathic medical system, he has broken out of that archetype to become the proverbial biohacker before biohacking was formalized and has a long-standing passion for longevity well before that was trendy. As a longevity expert, Dr. Primas helps his patients to maximize their biological age with regenerative medicine and a longevity routine that supports their unique personalized health history and goals. In today's conversation, we cover a smorgasbord of topics ranging from chronic pain management to holistic weight management to, of course, biohacking and longevity to red light therapy to diet, supplements and more! Dr. Primas is an absolute wealth of knowledge and not just because he is one smart cookie, but, more importantly, he can speak from decades and decades of personal and professional experience. You can never garner wisdom without real-life experience and Dr. Primas has that in spades. As always, learn lots and light up your health! - Key points: Guest Introduction (00:00:00 - 00:00:22): Guest: Dr. Ron Primas, board-certified physician with 30+ years of experience and a fellow biohacker.

Ep 138Research: A Deep Dive into Mitochondrial Dysfunction & How Methylene Blue Combats Neurodegeneration & Aging
We are going to combine all of our favorite topics — red light therapy, the mitochondria and methylene blue — into this brain-centric episode. We know that the brain is the most mitochondrial-dense tissue in the body and, thus, photobiomodulation (namely, near-infrared light) can have a very positive effect. We also know that most of the methylene blue ingested eventually accumulates in the brain, which is why it has countless brain-boosting benefits. However, when it comes to mitochondrial function it's a double-edged sword. The health of your mitochondria can (of course) work for you or against you. And when the function of your mitochondria declines, it will likely show up in those tissues that are mitochondrial-dense (i.e., tissues that require the most amount of energy to function). Our nervous system is extremely energy-intensive and the brain is the king/queen of the nervous system. Thus, when mitochondrial dysfunction strikes, it hits the nervous system — and particularly the brain — hard. This largely explains why neurodegenerative diseases are an every-increasing presence in our modern-day world. While this may all seem like sobering and dire news, there is a silver lining that can put you back at ease. Again, while mitochondrial dysfunction can work against you, as long as you harness tactics that boost mitochondrial health (and, thus, inherently prevent, mitigate and sometimes even reverse mitochondrial dysfunction), then you are well on your way to staving off neurodegenerative disease. In today's episode, methylene blue takes center stage as we dig into the research to see how this spectacular salt can buoy your mitochondrial health and play a pivotal role in numerous neurodegenerative diseases.

Ep 137Optimizing Health & Longevity By Targeting the Gut-Brain Axis via CERA w/ Sarah Turner
Hippocrates himself said that 'all disease begins in the gut' and today's guest, Sarah Turner, is taking that to the next level by optimizing the health of the gut-brain axis via photobiomodulation. Sarah has been working tirelessly the last couple of years to produce the first product of its kind, CERA, which is specifically engineered to emit particular frequencies of red and near-infrared light to both the gut and cranium to create a powerful effect of healing, wellness and optimization. Along with learning about Sarah and her journey to becoming the CEO and Co-Founder of CeraThrive, we engage in some stimulating, "geeking out" of numerous topics surrounding red light therapy, including the importance standardization in the photobiomodulation research and the industry as a whole and the importance and nuances of third party testing. Sarah also shares her thoughts on some potential synergistic supplements that may have a beneficial interaction with light and her excitement about combining methylene blue with red light therapy. Sarah Turner has a postgraduate degree in Clinical Neuroscience, holds BSc degrees in Psychological Sciences and Nutritional Medicine and is currently pursuing a diploma in Photobiomodulation at the University of Montpellier in France. During the initial decade of her career, Sarah worked as a research scientist in the pharmaceutical industry. Today, Sarah's primary focus lies in photobiomodulation, which involves utilizing specific light wavelengths and pulsed frequencies to enhance optimal functioning, with a specific emphasis on brain-related issues. As the Co-Founder and CEO of CeraThrive, she spearheads the production of a red light therapy system that specifically targets the gut-brain connection.This episode is a classic conversation between two red light therapy nerds that have a passion for learning and improving the space for the better and, ultimately, helping people improve their health via light.

Ep 136Biocentrism: Unraveling the Illusion of Space & Time
What if I told you that time and space are truly illusions and only constructs used by humans to better understand and operate in our world? That there is no such thing as an "external" and "internal" world and what we think we see "out there" is literally occurring and being conceived inside our head? Based on physics and biology, this is all true; is our consciousness that dictates all that we see and perceive in our world... If this is all tough to comprehend and wrap your mind around, you are certainly not alone. This is all the basis for biocentrism. Recently, I have been reading a series of books on this very topic (Biocentrism, Beyond Biocentrism and The Grand Biocentric Design, all by Robert Lanza, MD) and it has been extremely mind-bending, mind-expanding and, ultimately, still tough to fathom, as it all completely flies in the face of the paradigm we have all been entrenched in for hundreds and hundreds of years. Within all of this, there are also explanations of light, such as what it is, the role it plays in life and how we interact with it as beings. I find it all very fascinating!So today, I share some excerpts from the first two books to give you a peak into the world of biocentrism. Perhaps it will resonate with you and expand your mind like it did mine. Perhaps it is just "too out there" for you. Regardless, I ask that you listen to his episode with an open mind. After all, our mind and consciousness is where our entire world of reality exists...

Ep 135Research: Methylene Blue & Red Light Therapy for Cancer, Fat Loss; Raising Your Voltage
It's been quite some time since we ventured into the world of research and so I figured it's time to go down the rabbit hole and see what's hot off the press... Interestingly, there were two articles published within the last month — one on methylene blue and one on photobiomodulation — that specifically investigated the benefits of each treatment modality as it relates to cancer. Typically viewed as a risky condition to treat without allopathic measures (although I believe that trend is slowly but surely changing), you may be surprised at what methylene blue and red light therapy can offer. As you may recall from last week's episode, methylene blue seems to be a very potent anti-cancer agent. We also look at new piece of research that seemingly reveals the ever elusive mechanism of action as it relates to increased fat loss via red light therapy. We have known for some time that using RLT while exercising amplifies fat loss, but the mechanism has always been shrouded in only theories with no real concrete answers. It seems that we finally have our answer!Lastly, I will leave you with this thought:Nikola Tesla, arguably one of the world’s greatest engineers once said, “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” As always, light up your health! - Key points: Research on methylene blue and cancer: (4:50) Conclusion: (9:22) Combining red light therapy and methylene blue: (10:16) Red light therapy and cancer treatments: (15:16) We need more protocols: (19:12) Fat loss and red light therapy research: (23:02) Closing thoughts and articles: (31:20) Tree circuitry and raising your voltage: (31:43) Vibration is everywhere: (35:02) - Research & articles referenced from the episode: Methylene blue in anticancer photodynamic therapy: systematic review of preclinical studies Photobiomodulation in the prevention and the management of side effects of cancer treatments: Bases, results and perspectives Photobiomodulation therapy with light-emitting diode in stimulating adipose tissue mitochondria Electrical circuit runs entirely off power in trees Ether: Vibration Everywhere – In the Beginning, Now and Forever - Exclusive 15% discount on BioBlue for The Red Light Report listeners!

Ep 134Top 10 Benefits of Methylene Blue
Let's get blue on today's solosode of The Red Light Report! The last couple of weeks you have likely heard and/or learned about BioLight's newest innovative product, BioBlue, which is an enhanced methylene blue and mitochondrial supplement. Some of you are even using it right now! But I felt it would behoove all of us to take a deeper dive into this mysterious synthetic textile dye that happens to seemingly be one of the most profound health, wellness and mitochondrial-boosting substances available. And it is a major synergist when combined with red light therapy! So today, I thought it would be great to review the top 10 uses for methylene blue, as professed by scientific research. And while I don't want to give away too much in this intro, I feel obliged to tell you a few of the things that I find most exciting and promising about methylene blue:1.) Secondary to its ease of crossing the blood-brain barrier, a vast majority of the methylene blue consumed concentrates in the brain, which is why it has virtually endless brain health benefits (i.e., reduced symptoms of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, dementia, depression, PTSD and improved cognition, mood and energy);2.) Methylene blue has an innate intelligence to help whichever cells are most sick, diseased and/or cancerous first before moving along and helping other healthier cells;3.) There are only two known interventions capable dissociating nitric oxide from the cytochrome c oxidase (which then allows oxygen into the mitochondria for more efficient energy production; remember, the more energy in a cell = less disease state/more vitality in cell): red light therapy and methylene blue. Remember, none of this information is a substitute for medical advice. But just like when I learned about red light therapy for the first time and was in awe at its endless health benefits, I am equally impressed by the limitless potential of methylene blue. Both are safe, efficacious and likely have a pivotal role to play for anyone looking to optimize their health and longevity.

Ep 124The Invisible Rainbow, Pt. 1
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

Ep 123Acupoints & Anecdotes: Red Light Therapy for Animals & Humans w/ Ros Maindok
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

Ep 121Irlen Syndrome: Perceptual Challenges & Light Sensitivities w/ Terry Carlson
This week on The Red Light Report we are going to gain a novel perspective on light and learn just how much it can affect our perceptual processing. Known by many names, including Irlen Syndrome, visual stress, and scotopic sensitivity, the symptoms that can be helped with color are wide-ranging and appear in many different populations, including those with migraines, brain injury, concussion, ADHD, autism, and learning difficulties. Interestingly and luckily, this debilitating condition can be quickly and effectively reversed by colored overlays and spectral lenses. I was able to sit down with Terry Carlson, a seasoned Irlens diagnostician, to take a deep dive into Irlen Syndrome and how she goes about diagnosing and treating this condition with the science of color! Backed by over 40 years of research, Irlen is the pioneer and global leader in spectral filter color lens technology. This innovative, breakthrough solution has helped millions of adults and children around the world. With hundreds of certified providers in 46 countries around the world, Irlen is the original creator of colored lens treatment for light-based, visual processing difficulties. The Irlen Method has earned millions of fans by providing a long-term, expertly-developed solution for reading problems, headaches, migraines, light sensitivity, ADD and ADHD, autism, and many other light-based difficulties–by directly addressing a core problem: the brain’s inability to process visual information and specific wavelengths of light. This is a very interesting conversation and will make you see light through a new lens and, perhaps, the signs and symptoms may be similar to what you are currently experiencing. Be sure to look into Irlen Syndrome via the links below and share this information with any family members/friends that may be dealing with.

Ep 119Research: Fluoride & Mitochondrial Dysfunction, Amber vs. Red Light For Skin Health & Treating Rotator Cuff Surgical Repair
It's been some time since we tackled some research, so in this week's solosode we're going to cover a wide variety of topics! Also, I wanted to reach out to my audience and let you know that I would like to start interviewing some of YOU (5 to 15 minutes segments) about your experiences and results with red light therapy. You would not have to disclose any personal information — simply share your story! I think it would be powerful for everyone to hear one another's stories and experiences. If you would be interested in participating please reach out here: [email protected] the first article we will uncover fluoride's impact on mitochondrial health. If you remember from the last couple of episode's from Dr. Jerry Tennant's book, fluoride is an electron stealer and lowers your voltage (hint hint!). The second article looks at periocular skin health (i.e. skin around the eyes) and compares amber light versus red light in their abilities to decrease wrinkles. It turns out they are both great at doing so, but which one is superior?The last article looks at treating rotator cuff arthroscopic repair with red light therapy; specifically, self-treatment with lasers! It turns out, people are more than capable of accelerating their own recovery and rehab when given the proper tools and education. The protocol provided was also quite interesting and comprehensive, which is great to see from the research. It's great to get back to some research and continue to broaden our red light therapy and mitochondrial knowledge.

Ep 118Healing is Voltage, Pt. 2
All of our cellular membranes are battery packs and hold a charge? We will continue our journey down the path of energetic health as we work our way through a particularly profound chapter in the book, Healing is Voltage, by Dr. Jerry Tennant. In the second part of this pivotal chapter, we will learn how cells acquire voltage, the role of water in electron exchange, how food carries its own voltage and the common ways electrons are taken from our bodies and how cells store them.Dr. Tennant also discusses why removing hydrogenated oils from your diet is a non-negotiable, as the dangers of trans fats have a strong correlation to obesity and overall health. He also explores the wisdom of acupuncture meridians and their impact on well-being that provides a new perspective on the interconnectedness of our organs and the role of energy flow.Lastly, Dr. Tennant unravels the profound relationship between acupuncture and yin/yang organs and further shows us how our entire body is a massive circuit and battery with tesla coils related to all of our organs; the end result is that it explains how all disease/cancer can be traced directly back to any area of low voltage that correlates to that tissue/organ. When the dots are connected, it is mind-expanding. This episode is chalk full of interesting perspectives and noteworthy concepts. Nothing but gratitude to Dr. Jerry Tennant for sharing all of this information with us for the betterment of our voltage (i.e., quality of life!).

Ep 117Healing is Voltage, Pt. 1
As you know, when I read a great book with profound information, I have to share it with you guys! Well, the most recent book I have been digging into continues to further my knowledge and reverence for how our body works and heals at an energetic level. In his book, Healing is Voltage, Dr. Jerry Tennant details in how our cells are meant to run at -20 to -25 millivolts (which means our bodies are electron-rich, so to speak) and that when we creep closer to zero and, God forbid, go into the positive territory, that's when our body becomes riddled with disease and cancer. It's as simple as that!So that begs the questions: how do we stay in the -20 to -25 millivolts range? What causes our cells to go above or below that and how to we return to that range? How does this ultimately affect our tissues, organs and body systems? What lifestyle habits pull us out of that range and what lifestyle habits can we adopt to stay in that range effortlessly? What about diet? What about medications? How do you measure it? This is all just the tip of the iceberg, as it relates to the book. But I will keep it simple and just stick to one chapter in the book to give you a taste of this paradigm-shifting information.Dr. Tennant has compiled relatively simple, yet profound information in the 550-page "handbook" that is just lurking in the archives of Amazon — just sitting there waiting to be read and applied to one's life. Why this information is not more prevalent and, in a perfect world, taught in school? Well, that's the beauty of this podcast. I can at least share it with you all and hopefully that begins a snowball effect to get this information spread to more and more people. This will be at least a two-part series, as there is too much juicy information to put into one solosode. Sit back, accrue your electrons and enjoy the information. As always, light up your health! - Key points: A sneak peek into future energy healing episodes: (1:49) Increasing energy and reverence for your body: (7:16) Who is Jerry Tenant?: (8:10) Your nervous system and biofield: (14:46) Introduction: (16:16) The body's relationship with fat and bile: (17:51) Healing is voltage: (20:27) Abnormally high levels: (22:23) Aging and chronic disease: (28:08) Voltage, water, & oxygen: (29:45) ATP vs ADP: (30:33) Low voltage = low oxygen: (32:25) Infections and toxins: (33:33) - Book referenced from the episode: Healing is Voltage - Jerry Tennant, MD - Don't forget you can 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 - 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

Ep 115Exploring Energetic Healing, Neurofeedback & Body Talk w/ Juli Nilson
Sometimes the smartest cookies and brightest experts are right under your nose. This week, I had to look no farther than my hometown to find neurofeedback specialist and energetic healing advoate, Juli Nilson. Through a mutual connection, I was exposed to Juli's unique skillset and results via neurofeedback, which is something I was not very familiar with. But, given my rapidly-growing interest in all things energy healing, I knew I had to sit down and pick her brain about the world of neurofeedback and other energetic healing techniques. Juli has over twenty years of experience working in behavioral health and a background in both social work and youth engagement. She is a Certified Neurofeedback Specialist. In 2018, she received advanced neurofeedback training in the Othmer Method at the EEG Institute in California. Her training includes Synchrony, Alpha Theta, Trauma and Infra-low Frequency. Juli is experienced and adept at working with children, teens and adults with an emphasis on trauma.During our conversation, we take a deep dive into neurofeedback: how it works, what a treatment loos like, what it feels like, what conditions it's used for, how often it should be done and who should consider getting it done, amongst other talking points. Juli also discusses body talk, myofascial release, stress patterns Juli noticed throughout the virus pandemic, environmental toxins' impact, the truth about many ADD/ADHD diagnoses and much, much more! Not only does Juli bring to light some unique and effective energetic treatment techniques, but she is also very easy to listen to and learn from.
