The Energy Code

With cardiovascular disease continually on the rise and high blood pressure being one of the most important risk factors for the disease, hypertensive medications continue to skyrocket. While there is a type and place for pharmaceuticals, this does not address the issue at its root cause. This week on The Red Light Report we will learn how Earthing may be THE best anti-hypertensive remedy available; not to mention, it's 100% natural and has no negative side effects. Simply by connecting to the earth and it's perpetual source of free electrons, mother nature literally thins your blood (only if it's necessary to reach homeostasis), which automatically reduces the stress on your cardiovascular system and normalizes blood pressure. Again, that is sans medication!​​We will also continue to learn more specifics about grounding, such as how long it takes to see results, what types of mediums are conductive versus insulating, what zeta potential is (and why that is an important metric), other impacts of grounding on cardiovascular health along with a couple of anecdotes that put the proof in the proverbial (grounding) pudding. Again, if you are interested in adding grounding to your indoor health regimen (and I firmly believe everybody should!), I highly recommend checking out grounding products from the company Earthing. It's a Clint Ober company and where I got my grounding mattress pad and mats for my desk and living room/dining room. And in less than two weeks, my body and mind are already reaping the benefits. To me, it's one of the best investments in your overall health...Brownie points if you listen to this episode while grounded.

Are you feeling grounded yet?! If you haven't felt the gravitational pull to start Earthing (outdoors or indoors) just yet, perhaps this week's solosode on The Red Light Report will provide you with the conviction necessary to get your toes in the grass (or on a grounding mat, like me, if you are strapped to a desk for too many hours of the day). Last week was a great introduction to grounding/Earthing where we laid a great foundation on the basics and fundamentals. Hopefully, it got the wheels turning in your head and brought some awareness to how disconnected we are from the ground of the earth we walk on every single day. In today's episode, we will connect the dots and dig even deeper into the multitude of ways that grounding can have a profound impact on your health. As part of that, you will learn how grounding may be the best EMF protection you could ask for — and that's on top of filling you up with free electrons!Lastly, I have been getting inundated with which grounding products are best or which grounding products I love best. Personally, I purchased my products from the company Earthing and I undeniably felt (both mentally and physically) phenomenal results in less than five days of commencing my indoor grounding! So I highly, highly recommend their products. And, in my opinion, a grounded mattress pad is a must!Without further ado, learn lots and light up your health! - Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following: 3:45 - Practical ways to ground yourself at home (products from website) 5:24 - Heartrate variability (HRV) and grounding 9:09 - Anecdotal benefits from grounding 10:32 - Grounding for dogs and pets 11:21 - The "nuts and bolts" of earthing 15:05 - Earthing and EMFs 19:33 - Volts before and after grounding 22:24 - The umbrella effect of earthing 25:25 - Earthing effects on the brain 27:12 - Earthing effects on muscles 28:19 - Walking barefoot 31:37 - Earthing duration 36:18 - Less risk of metabolic syndrome? 39:33 - Earthing strongly influences physiology 43:15 - Threat of free radicals 44:57 - Resetting your biological clocks 47:01 - Earthing and your genes - Dr. Mike's #1 recommendation for grounding products: Earthing.com - Book From Episode: Earthing: The Most Important Health Discovery Ever - Clint Ober, Stephen Sinatra MD, Martin Zucker - 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

Happy New Year everybody and welcome to 2023! It feels nice to turn the page onto a new year and start fresh with a clean slate, revitalized and with endless possibilities. To begin this year on The Red Light Report, I am feeling pulled and magnetized into a slightly different direction than our usual red light therapy talk. But don't worry, the topic will still be light- and health-centric, albeit from a slightly different angle. Instead of looking above to our light source, we will be focusing towards the ground for this healing source of photonic and electromagnetic energy: grounding. 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. Brownie points if you listen to this episode while grounding... Sit back, learn lots and light up your health! - Episode topicsDr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following: 5:11 - Book recommendation - Clint Ober - Earthing: The Most Important Health Discovery Ever 9:28 - What is "earthing"? 10:00 - How we aren't grounded anymore 12:22 - Similarities of benefits from grounding and red light therapy 17:51 - Disease and its relation to our connection with the earth 18:25 - Experiments done on "disconnecting" from the earth 19:42 - Earth's electromagnetic field and circadian rhythms 20:17 - Walking barefoot and its impact on our health 21:30 - Shoes and how they are dangerous 22:38 - Best shoes for conductivity 24:55 - Living things as antennas 26:50 - Tips on how to stay grounded 27:55 - How the authors came upon grounding 32:19 - Earth and body medicine according to Dr. Sinatra, MD 33:39 - Sleeping and fishing grounded 35:55 - Chronic inflammation = electron deficiency 37:57 - Inflammation as a disease maker 39:52 - Diabetes 41:12 - The relationship between grounding and inflammation 43:09 - Conditions related to chronic inflammation 44:03 - How the body absorbs electrons from the earth - Book From Episode: Earthing: The Most Important Health Discovery Ever - Clint Ober, Stephen Sinatra MD, Martin Zucker - 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

Like last week, we are going to revisit one of the top two interviews from 2022. This conversation was with my most (personally) anticipated interview, Dr. Sandra Kaufmann. I fell in love with her first anti-aging book from several years ago and then fell in love again when she released her newest book this summer. She is a highly-respected expert in the longevity community and she didn't disappoint in this interview. Enjoy learning from Dr. Kaufmann... The author of one of my all-time favorite books recently released her second book, which was like Christmas coming early for me! Luckily, I had also met her before at an anti-aging conference and we have stayed in touch throughout the years. So I knew I had to Dr. Sandra Kaufmann on The Red Light Report for some amazing conversation about anti-aging and longevity strategies, especially as it relates to supplements and adjuvants — topics that she is considered a bonafide expert. In her newest book, Aging Solutions, Dr. Kaufmann covers 28 different agents that she has found to be the most efficacious and backed by science, according to her rigorous research. We cover many agents from both of her books along with Dr. Kaufmann's skincare routine and other longevity hacks she as implemented over the years, including red light therapy! Dr. Sandra Kaufmann began her academic career in the field of cellular biology, earning a Master’s Degree from the University of Connecticut in Tropical Ecology and Plant Physiology. Turning to medicine, she received her medical Degree at the University of Maryland, and completed a residency and fellowship at Johns Hopkins in the field of pediatric anesthesiology. She has been the Chief of Pediatric Anesthesia at the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital for 9 years, a nationally recognized center of excellence. Dr. Kaufmann's avid interest in the science of anti-aging begun many years ago as an intense hobby. Utilizing her knowledge in cell biology, human pharmacology and physiology, this hobby has now become a main focus. The project represents years of non-clinical research leading to the first ever, comprehensive theory of aging. She has now released two books on longevity: The Kaufmann Protocol: Why We Age and How to Stop it, and just recently in 2022, Aging Solutions. This conversation could have easily gone on for hours and hours, as Dr. Kaufmann is a wealth of knowledge in some of my favorite topics and is fun to listen and learn from. I know you will all enjoy learning from her like I did and, if so, I highly recommend you check out BOTH of her books. They are simply amazing resources of anti-aging/longevity information. As always, light up your health! - Dr. Mike Belkowski & Dr. Sandra Kaufmann discuss the following: Her reasoning for jumping into anti-aging and longevity RAADfest - October 2022 in San Diego Supplements vs. adjuvants How people confuse deficiency with longevity Bioavailability and resveratrol Bringing natural remedies back into the light The five basic agents of the Panacea Astaxanthin and its benefits for free radical scavenging The blood-brain barrier Nicotinamide and why it’s crucially important for longevity Anti-inflammatories for longevity Glycation Eye health and vision Carnosine eyedrops Eye health and red light therapy Goggles vs. no goggles with red light therapy Supplements and adjuvants she is most excited about Spermidine and how it prevents DNA damage The mitochondrial transition permiability pore Fisetin for longevity Senescent cells (zombie cells) Metformin vs. berberine Glycation and how to defeat it How her diet doesn’t affect her good lab results Her anti-aging and longevity regiment Skin health UV exposure to the skin Starting treatments earlier vs. later Micronutrient deficiencies and getting older Newfound discoveries - Watch this episode on YouTube - Where to Learn More From & About Dr. Sandra Kaufmann: Website: KaufmannProtocol.com Instagram: @KaufmannAntiAging - Books written by Dr. Sandra Kaufmann: Aging Solutions (2022) The Kaufmann Protocol (2017) - 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 YouTube

For the last two episodes of the year I thought it would be fun to revisit the top two interviews of 2022! And they are not the top two because I said so, but rather because they were the two most downloaded episodes — you, the audience, have spoken! Genuinely, my conversation with Carrie Bennett was easily one of my favorites, so it is always nice when that resonates with the listeners as well. Enioy learning (or reviewing) health from a quantum perspective..."Electrons! Electrons! Come get your electrons!" I love when I path crosses with someone that likes to nerd out on mitochondrial health, but especially from the quantum point of view! On this week's episode of The Red Light Report, I was lucky enough to sit down with the brilliant Carrie Bennett, who knows her quantum health inside and out. Not only that, but Carrie is able to take these complex topics and simplify them so anyone and everyone can understand. As you can see from the episode description below, we cover a smorgasbord of quantum health topics, especially how health is impacted by light, water and magnetism.Even though it can be intimidating, it behooves everyone to take a dive deep into health from a quantum perspective. This is truly where the root causes of disease are buried -- deep down at the subatomic level. But as Carrie acknowledges, even though the topics can get a little complex, the solutions are extremely straightforward. And who doesn't like simple, actionable strategies for optimizing wellness and bolstering one's healthspan? As a college athlete, supposedly at the pinnacle of health, Carrie began suffering chronic joint issues and insomnia. After her first child was born she developed debilitating stomach pain, adrenal fatigue, and brain fog. Armed with a BS in Biology, an MS in Nutrition, certifications as a personal trainer, massage therapist, breathing coach, and faculty member of the Quantum Biology Collective, Carrie's mission is to teach her clients how to create a healing environment. By applying quantum health strategies involving morning sunlight, circadian rhythm, grounding, mitochondrial support, cold therapy, sleep and intermittent fasting clients feel powerful healing and lasting benefits. This episode is wall-to-wall full of incredibly profound health information. It may be an episode you want to listen to multiple times to fully grasp the knowledge that Carrie shares with us. In fact, I highly recommend you do, as the implications of applying these quantum health strategies are far-reaching. Carrie is sure to give you an entirely new perspective on what it means to be healthy. Enjoy and learn lots! - Dr. Mike Belkowski and Carrie Bennett discuss the following: How she initially got into the quantum field Dr. Jack Kruse and how Carrie has been influenced by him Inflammation from a quantum perspective Chronic inflammation from daily life and how we get it Getting free electrons from nature How we are destroying our mitochondria Health, wellness & longevity via nutrition The Keto diet and how it helps your body produce deuterium-depleted water Mitochondrial dysfunction and why it’s something to consider in your health regiment Optimizing your electron transport chain Melatonin production and how we are deficient Cold therapy and its benefits for protein production Supplementing melatonin Chasing the sun based on seasons and where you live Thriving in cold environments with infrared light How all disease is preceded by a loss of “EZ water” ATP production in the mitochondria EZ water and what influences it The power of vibrations and its impact on our EZ and biological water Your sound environment and how it impacts your health Health implications of the metaverse and VR headsets Blue-light-blocking glasses Optimizing your light environment Morning sunlight and the impact of sunset Circadian rhythm and its impact on the mitochondria Sun gazing UV light and its powers and healing benefits Water filters and which ones are best Red light therapy and her experiences with it - Watch this Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/xZqQxZjWNnE - Instagram: @carriebwellness YouTube: carriebwellness Spotify: 2% Better Health Podcast Website: www.carriebwellness.com Online courses: https://carrieandcorey.podia.com/the-quantum-self-healing-masterclass - To learn more about red light therapy and shop for the highest-quality red light therapy products, visit www.biolight.shop - Stay up-to-date on social media: Instagram YouTube

Another solosode of The Red Light Report means another episode of exciting photobiomodulation research: the first article explores at how pre-conditioning cancer cells with red light affects the subsequent radiation treatment; the second article investigates elite athletes and how their sleep and recovery responds to full-body red light therapy. Within these two articles, we continue to learn about novel ways that red light therapy can be integrated to positively impact health. This includes innovative ways to pre-condition our body with this healing light to reduce the amount of radiation necessary along with newfound results that full-body RLT may reduce the total time of sleep (but not sleep quality), meaning that it may actually improve the efficiency of your body (i.e., glymphatic system) to restore and recover your body while you are asleep. All very fascinating! I continue to be impressed and excited by this research on a weekly basis and am delighted that I get to share it with you all. Be sure to light up your holidays and, as always, light up your health! - Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following: 4:36 - Effect of low level light therapy before radiotherapy in oral squamous cell carcinoma - research from December 2022 6:17 - Measuring dosages 8:16 - Mitigating side effects of radiotherapy 11:37 - Full-body photobiomodulation therapy is associated with reduced sleep duration and augmented cardiorespiratory indicators of recovery 16:04 - Connecting it to BioLight's study on HRV (Heart rate variability) 18:30 - Study results on athletic recovery 19:00 - Red light therapy beds 19:42 - Optimizing light irradiance 22:22 - Getting the correct amount of joules 24:12 - Back to the article at hand 24:29 - More is not better 30:22 - Athletic performance 30:57 - Study results 31:10 - Effects on sleep 33:20 - Article summary - Research articles: Effect of low-level light therapy before radiotherapy in oral squamous cell carcinoma: An in vitro study Full-Body Photobiomodulation Therapy Is Associated with Reduced Sleep Durations and Augmented Cardiorespiratory Indicators of Recovery - Check out the newest innovative device from BioLight... the Matrix! - 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

This week on The Red Light Report, we have two more remarkable pieces of photobiomodulation research to cover and, to top it off, both are figuratively hot-off-the-press — being published only this past summer! You've heard me say it before, but I'll say it again... while the information may be on particular topics, the takeaways are far-reaching and can be applicable to virtually everyone.​ The first article covered has to do with the ability for red light therapy to improve the tissue regeneration capabilities of fibrin application. Who doesn't want more effective and efficient wound healing and tissue/organ healing? The second piece of research is especially interesting, as it has to do with red light therapy's impact on the brain. However, the article goes even deeper and analyzes the benefits of photobiomodulation temporally, meaning the therapeutic affects it has during wakefulness versus asleep. Needless to say, they have some interesting speculations as to how near-infrared light can impact the brain during sleep that has potentially profound implications for the glymphatic system. This new research continues to expand our awareness on some exciting, novel utilities of red light therapy that can positively impact our health. As always, light up your health and enjoy this solosode! - Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following: 1:43 - Yoga red light therapy 2:49 - Therasage 5:41 - Improving regeneration in tissue via photobiomodulation 8:34 - Fibrin and photobiomodulation 9:10 - Management of the healing process via photobiomodulation 12:34 - Gold nanoparticles 13:31 - The effect of photobiomodulation during wakefulness and sleep 18:54 - Photobiomodulation influences functional activity 23:32 - Increasing mitochondrial activity 26:29 - Photobiomodulation and sleep 31:16 - Transcranial photobiomodulation 32:17 - Photobiomodulation mechanisms during sleep 35:52 - Mornings vs Day/ night for Increasing mitochondrial function and ATP levels 37:33 - Anti-inflammatory effects during sleep 43:40 - How to use near-infrared light while sleeping - Research articles: Application of Fibrin Associated with Photobiomodulation as a Promising Strategy to Improve Regeneration in Tissue Engineering: A Systematic Review The effect of photobiomodulation on the brain during wakefulness and sleep - Check out the newest innovative device from BioLight... the Matrix! - 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

I hope you all had a wonderful past week celebrating the holidays with family and friends! This week on The Red Light Report, I am going to review two interesting pieces of photobiomodulation research: one on RLT for cancer (specifically, melanoma) and another on RLT's impact on CrossFit for strength, endurance and recovery (specifically looking at the impact of treatment timing — is before, after or before and after lead to superior results). Also, I want to apologize in advance for the sound of my voice in this episode. I recorded this towards the tail end of a sickness I was finally recovering from, as I wanted to make sure this episode was released on schedule (for all of the loyal fans and enthusiasts of red light therapy!). During the beginning of the episode, I cover some red light therapy tactics I implemented that I feel helped accelerate the healing and recovery process. So please bear with me for this episode, but I believe you will find the information covered quite interesting and exciting, per usual. As always, light up your health and enjoy this solosode! - Dr. Mike Belkowski Discusses the following: 0:16 His experience in italy with his presentation 6:01 - Photobiomodulation research 5:46 - How he treated his sickness with the Matrix 9:41 - Treating sore throat with the Guardian+ 11:49 - His supplement regimen 14:23 - Research on skin cancer 18:57 - Decreasing melanoma tumor growth 19:18 - Discussion portion of the research article 23:32 - Crossfit recovery 28:32 - Going deeper into the science 29:59 - Antioxidant effects in athletes - Research articles covered: Red Light Phototherapy Using Light-Emitting Diodes Inhibits Melanoma Proliferation and Alters Tumor Microenvironments Photobiomodulation Therapy Combined with a Static Magnetic Field Applied in Different Moments Enhances Performance and Accelerates Muscle Recovery in CrossFit® Athletes: A Randomized, Triple-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Crossover Trial - Check out the newest innovative device from BioLight... the Matrix! - 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

Earlier this month I had a consultation call with a couple of gentleman from Germany that wanted more detailed information on how to best utilize the red light therapy beds they had recently purchased. I figured we may as well hit the record button and capture the conversation since the topics discussed would be interesting for others to listen to. Thus, we recorded an impromptu episode of The Red Light Report! For this episode, you get to be a fly on the wall and listen to some back-and-forth on how others are using their red light therapy devices, what other health modalities or biohacks they are using to compliment their RLT treatments and also my thoughts and knowledge on how to best adapt protocols in from the Red Light Therapy Treatment Protocols eBook for their RLT beds. As you can imagine, the protocols in the eBook I developed are for 2-D treatments (i.e., flat panels) whereas they need protocols for treating 360° with their RLT beds. This ended up being quite a fun and educational conversation all the way around, so I think you will enjoy listening and gaining an even better perspective for RLT and how one needs to adapt their treatment protocols based on their device type and their health and wellness goal. Enjoy! - Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following during the consult call: 2:28 - Initial interest in red light therapy 4:38 - 360-degree treatment and the dosage involved 8:34 - The term “biohacking” and why it’s not his favorite 9:30 - Cryo chambers and difficulties owning them 10:31 - Biohacking and their ultimate goal 12:54 - Stem cells and reversing the aging process 15:21 - Supplementation 14:40 - Nootropics 16:21 - Red light therapy beds and how they use them 17:11 - Effects of red light therapy 18:34 - Eye treatment and safety with red light therapy 18:58 - Timing red light therapy 19:44 - Light irradiance and dosage 24:06 - Waltpbm.org - Recommended treatment dosages for red light therapy 27:05 - Panel sizes and their uses 27:34 - Applying the protocols in the eBook to the red light therapy beds 30:11 - Pulsing and its effects 33:50 - Skin treatment 34:29 - Treating injuries 35:39 - Stacking hyperbaric and red light therapy 37:31 - Workout performance 40:25 - Anti-inflammatory effects 41:03 - Recovery after aerobic sports - Watch this on YouTube - Interested in a red light therapy consult call with Dr. Mike?

Let's dive into some more research on this week's solosode of The Red Light Report. I cover two pieces of research more thoroughly this week, as both of the topics are quite interesting and the information within each article contains valuable red light therapy principles that everyone can apply to their RLT treatments and strategies. The first article deals with the side effects of cancer treatments (i.e. radiotherapy), while the second article is about using phototherapy for improving cognition in those dealing with dementia. I have a hunch that boosting mitochondrial health is involved with both of these!​ I know the info in this solosode will either be great reminders and/or help continue to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the capabilities of RLT and how to best utilize it. As always, light up your health and enjoy this solosode! - Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following: 2:55 - Research on head and neck cancer patients 7:17 - How red light therapy heals 8:10 - Photobiomodulation dosing 9:40 - Prevention and treatment of cancer-related symptoms 15:03 - Photobiomodulation on salivary glands 17:34 - Pre-treatment of red light therapy prior to radiotherapy or surgery 18:16 - Cost effectiveness of red light therapy 21:34 - Dosage standardization 23:04 - Phototherapy for cognitive function in patients with dementia 25:29 - Improving circulation to the brain via phototherapy 28:12 - LEDs vs Lasers 29:12 - Circadian rhythm - timing morning, afternoon, or individualized rhythm for red light therapy treatments 29:58 - Cognitive improvement in patients with dementia - Research articles: Quality Assessment of PBM Protocols for Oral Complications in Head and Neck Cancer Patients: Part 1 Phototherapy for Cognitive Function in Patients With Dementia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis - Check out the newest innovative device from BioLight... the Matrix! - 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

Have you heard of the gut-kidney axis? On this week's solosode of The Red Light Report, I'll review some of the newest photobiomodulation research — from chronic kidney disease to bone healing in the mouth to eye health with invisible light. While some of the research topics seems rather specific (i.e., chronic kidney disease), the information in each article and their findings are quite profound and have far-reaching implications. Furthermore, the details outlined in this research continues to reinforce vital principles of red light therapy along with fortifying the countless ways that red and near-infrared light can heal our cells, tissues, organs and beyond. We all have kidneys (and, thus, gut-kidney axes), bones and eyes, so the information in this episode applies to anyone and everyone.

In this week's episode of The Red Light Report, we travel "across the pond" to Sweden! I had the chance to sit down and converse with Fredrik Paulún, a fellow red light therapy enthusiast and someone that has been building health and wellness businesses for decades. Fredrik was ahead of the curve when he brought the glycemic index trend to Sweden and to the masses years and year ago; and now he has that same feeling about red light therapy and its potential to impact people's health, which he will thoroughly address in his red light therapy book he expects to publish in 2023. One of Sweden’s leading nutritionists since the middle of the ’90s, Fredrik is also a leading health entrepreneur. He is an internationally best-selling author, author of more than twenty books and the next one will be about red light therapy.Fredrik develops healthy foods for Orkla Foods Sverige under the brand Paulúns for the Swedish and international market. Fredrik is CEO of Nutribe which educates nutritional advisors and runs the fitness app Swiftr. He is also a board member and shareholder in the blood testing company Svensk Provtagning.

The author of one of my all-time favorite books recently released her second book, which was like Christmas coming early for me! Luckily, I had also met her before at an anti-aging conference and we have stayed in touch throughout the years. So I knew I had to Dr. Sandra Kaufmann on The Red Light Report for some amazing conversation about anti-aging and longevity strategies, especially as it relates to supplements and adjuvants — topics that she is considered a bonafide expert. In her newest book, Aging Solutions, Dr. Kaufmann covers 28 different agents that she has found to be the most efficacious and backed by science, according to her rigorous research. We cover many agents from both of her books along with Dr. Kaufmann's skincare routine and other longevity hacks she as implemented over the years, including red light therapy!Dr. Sandra Kaufmann began her academic career in the field of cellular biology, earning a Master’s Degree from the University of Connecticut in Tropical Ecology and Plant Physiology. Turning to medicine, she received her medical Degree at the University of Maryland, and completed a residency and fellowship at Johns Hopkins in the field of pediatric anesthesiology. She has been the Chief of Pediatric Anesthesia at the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital for 9 years, a nationally recognized center of excellence.Dr. Kaufmann's avid interest in the science of anti-aging begun many years ago as an intense hobby. Utilizing her knowledge in cell biology, human pharmacology and physiology, this hobby has now become a main focus. The project represents years of non-clinical research leading to the first ever, comprehensive theory of aging. She has now released two books on longevity: The Kaufmann Protocol: Why We Age and How to Stop it, and just recently in 2022, Aging Solutions. This conversation could have easily gone on for hours and hours, as Dr. Kaufmann is a wealth of knowledge in some of my favorite topics and is fun to listen and learn from. I know you will all enjoy learning from her like I did and, if so, I highly recommend you check out BOTH of her books. They are simply amazing resources of anti-aging/longevity information.

This week on The Red Light Report, we will continue navigating through the fourth edition of the Red Light Therapy Treatment Protocols eBook that I released last week. The eBook almost doubled in size relative to the third edition, as I added a copious amount of information, research and protocols to this fourth edition. On the previous solosode, we covered the following topics: Important Concepts; Anxiety, Depression & Stress; Athletic & Exercise Performance; and Bone & Joint Health. In this solosode, we will be covering two BIG topics: Brain & Cognitive Health and Cancer. This may be an episode you will want to share with someone you know that is going through one of these health conditions. The information outlined is invaluable. Even thought there's only two topics this week, I promise there is ample amount of juicy information to listen to and learn. As always, light up your health! - Dr. Mike Belkowski Discusses the following: Brain & cognitive health Mitochondrial dysfunction and how it leads to cognitive issues Ways red light therapy can be used trans-cranially Autism Aging and how it isn’t fully understood Treating the cognitive deficits from aging with red light therapy Reversing the aging process in the brain Concussions and traumatic brain injuries Treating gut health Treating Parkinson’s disease Treating cancer - Check out the Red Light Therapy Treatment Protocols eBook, 4th Edition - Invest in BioLight:There is only a week left in our crowdfunding campaign on Republic!

On this solosode of The Red Light Report, we are going to commence digging into the fourth edition of the Red Light Therapy Treatment Protocols eBook. You heard correctly — the FOURTH edition! I have gone ahead and added an abundance of new red light therapy information, research and protocols. I have even added new sections, such as Cancer, Gut Health and Stem Cells. In this solosode and subsequent solo episodes, I will be covering all of the new information that has been added to this updated edition of the eBook. For those not familiar with the contents of this eBook, it was developed to help people enhance their experience and results with red light therapy by providing specific protocols that will help tailor treatment sessions based on your health and wellness goals. The protocols in the eBook are based on a comprehensive review of the current scientific research and will significantly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of your RLT treatment sessions. The information and protocols should quickly help you achieve the many health benefits of red light therapy instead of relying on the overly-generalized "20 - 30 minutes per day" guideline that has needed updating for some time now. As you can imagine, the treatment protocol for skin health is much different than the protocol for treating joint pain, which is different from the protocol to improve sleep, reduce anxiety, enhance athletic performance, etc. Regardless, we will be covering all of the new information in this newest version of the eBook. I think you will be as impressed as I am with the new photobiomodulation I was able to find in the research. - Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following: An announcement of new BioLight products Important considerations of red light therapy Best practices Mitochondria and how they work in “shifts” Timing red light therapy Treating multiple areas in the same day Treating infants, kids, & pets Pregnant women & red light therapy Anxiety, depression, & stress Improving brain function through trans-cranial photobiomodulation BioLight’s research study Improving muscle recovery Lasers vs LEDs for red light therapy Bone and joint health Research on bone and joint health - Check out the Red Light Therapy Treatment Protocols eBook, 4th Edition - Invest in BioLight:Our crowdfunding campaign on Republic is LIVE!

For the second week in a row on The Red Light Report, I have a repeat guest! This week's guest, Dr. Leland Stillman, you may remember is an integrative medical doctor that has been quite verbose and outspoken regarding his opinion on mandated vaccinations and wearing of face masks. He is also very well-versed on how light and one's light environment can impact health for better or for worse.Very recently he released a book called, Dying to Be Free. Here is an excerpt from the overview of the book: "I believe that if anything threatens the health of the American people, it is the evil agenda of these technocrats, whether they are pushing mask-wearing, vaccination, water-fluoridation, or even things as innocuous as hand washing. As much as it may surprise you to hear this from a doctor, my reasons for concern are based on an abundance of evidence and experience, and are shared by doctors and scientists all over the world." Dr. Stillman graduated with a degree in Environmental Health from Connecticut College and earned his medical degree from the University of Virginia. He trained in Internal Medicine at Maine Medical Center. He has worked in over a dozen hospitals and clinics as a traveling doctor. He spent the early part of COVID-19 working in a rural hospital and later on went viral for speaking out against the lockdown and mandate measures. Most importantly, Dr. Stillman just released a book called “Dying to Be Free.”On the previous episode with Dr. Stillman, we discussed how he analyzes his patients’ light environments, how he offers suggestions to optimize them, how and why he suggests heliotherapy (therapy from the sun), how a dim environment can lead to premature aging and much more! You can check out that episode by clicking here. This is not an episode you want to skip over. In fact, it is one you will likely want to listen to a couple of times and share with your family and friends. Dr. Stillman connects many dots and drops endless truth bombs that massive corporations and the government would rather you not know. Listen with an open, critical mind and you will be sure to walk away with a newfound perspective for what it means to have true freedom. Learns lots and light up your health! - Dr. Mike Belkowski and Dr. Leland Stillman discuss the following: Transitioning out of Covid The catalyst for writing his book, Dying to Be Free Waking up to the power of the sun Benefits of getting more sun exposure in the middle of the day His focus on improving lifestyle habits Problems with the government and regulating health Allowing doctors to do what they need to do How healthcare professionals aren’t incentivized to cure our ailments Negative ramifications of big food, big pharma, and big tech Replacing light loss with red light therapy Understanding how the “game” is being played How community reduces mortality rate Health insurance and why it’s one of the greatest scams in history How the market is rigged Healthcare sharing ministry and how it’s a better alternative to health insurance Hospital bills and how you can haggle them down Suicide rates of male and female physicians vs the general populous How the government is funneling the population to maximize corporate profits Crypto and giving power back to the people Minimizing costs - Watch this episode on YouTube - Check out Dr. Stillman's new book, Dying to Be Free - Where to Learn More From & About Dr. Leland Stillman: Website: StillmanMD.com Substack: Leland Stillman, MD Instagram: @StillmanMD - Invest in BioLight:Our crowdfunding campaign on Republic is LIVE!

For the first time on The Red Light Report, I have a repeat guest — and for good reason! You may remember him as the guy that developed the Longevv anti-aging creams we sell at BioLight, but David Horinek is so much more. He has acquired an abundance of unique knowledge in so many areas, I had to pick his brain on another episode so we could all learn from him. He dives into countless topics, including health and wellness tactics, why you need to leave the big city and live a rural lifestyle, diet/nutrition tips, advice on financial and investing, why forest/nature bathing and hugging trees is important for health, why light and water are invaluable for vital health and so much more! David is the founder and Chief Innovation officer at Hologenix that developed Celliant, a responsive infrared textile that transforms body heat into full-spectrum infrared energy and is clinically proven to increase local circulation and cellular oxygenation -- that means more energy, endurance, strength, stamina, comfort, quicker recovery, and better sleep. The world’s leading brands, such as Under Armour and Levi’s use Celliant, along with countless other textile companies -- from bedding to socks to underwear and more.David also co-developed a business to produce and distribute alkaline water: Designing a specific ratio of salt to water gives the water a higher pH (potential hydrogen) than tap water, which boosts hydration. There is so much fascinating and practical information in this episode, you will surely want to listen to it a couple of times to absorb all of the great knowledge that David imparts. As always, light up your health and enjoy! - Dr. Mike Belkowski and David Horinek discuss the following: Some longevity moves he’s been doing for himself Infrared saunas and what he’s doing with them A testimonial about how red light therapy heals Common questions about the Longevv Revivv Creme Alternatives to sunscreen Astaxanthin and sun exposure How Mike’s chronic dry eyes ceased after taking astaxanthin Cissus and how he increased his bone density almost 20% A clothing that stimulates vitamin D production Bone density and how to increase it Building your immune system in the cold Forest therapy and the importance of being outdoors Utilizing the sun for your eyes Prisms in windows and its light therapy benefits Getting back to nature Teas he recommends Investing & Crypto Magenta light and its heart-healing properties Mike’s catalyst for getting into light therapy Vibrations and sound healing Hemp company recommendation: Hemp Black Increasing resonation Pendulums Ascension Miscellaneous habits to improve your wellbeing - Watch this episode on YouTube - David Horinek's recommendations: Bed Sheets Comforter Pillow Pillow Cases Mattress Pad Men's Under Armour Shirt The Celestine Prophecy, by James Redfield Natural Action Bottle For Structuring Water BioAstin Astaxanthin Curaderm Natural Non-Invasive Medication for Skin Cancer book, by Dr. Bill Cham For further information, go to lowimpact.technology Celliant - Global Leader in Performance Textiles: https://celliant.com/ - Invest in BioLight:Our crowdfunding campaign on Republic is LIVE!

On this week's solosode of The Red Light Report, we are going to learn about light and its impact on health from a slightly different viewpoint. You man even consider it coming from a quantum perspective. But not to worry, there are many practical (and free!) takeaways that you can begin integrating into your daily routine as quickly as... now! (Cue: nasal breathing) In the first part of the solosode, I will cover sunlight as a nutrient. This may seem blasé on the surface, but I will discuss in detail, the five bioactive forms of light and then make a legitimate argument that light nutrients are just as important, if not more important, than food nutrients. In the second part of the solosode, I will dive into the practical application side of things. A majority of these biohacks you will have likely heard of, yet you are in all likelihood not implementing them a consistent basis. I will go into detail about each of these "quantum hacks" and elucidate as to how and why it would be impactful for your mitochondrial health. The best part is that they are all simple and free to implement! Enjoy the information and see what you notice just by implementing two or three of these simple hacks on a consistent basis. I am sure it will light up your health! - Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following: Sunlight as a nutrient The main bioactive spectra of light UV-B and how it creates free electrons UV-A Blue light Red light Infrared light - mid and far infrared vs near infrared Our light environment and how it’s as important as nutrition Fake food vs real food Small changes that can make a big impact Sunset, sunrise, and melatonin/cortisol levels Remineralizing water Nasal breathing vs mouth breathing Book recommendation: Breath - James Nester No food after sunset Screens, the light they emit, and their effects Blue light and how it increases addictiveness through dopamine Grounding in the earth and its anti-inflammatory effects Love and gratitude - Invest in BioLight:Our crowdfunding campaign on Republic is LIVE!

This week on The Red Light Report, we are going to continue learning from the Red Light Therapy Treatment Protocols eBook that I developed over the past three years. The eBook is a distillation of all of the photobiomodulation information I learned from countless sources, including the scientific research, books, videos, conferences/symposiums, etc. My intention of the eBook was to give people a comprehensive, trustworthy source of red light therapy information and also facilitate a better understanding of what red light therapy is, what it can help with and, most importantly, how to use red light therapy for various health conditions via specific treatment protocols. In last week's solosode, I covered the Important Concepts sections of the eBook, which covered the following topics: red light vs. near-infrared light, mitochondria, biphasic dose response, hormesis, and dosing.​​In this solosode, I will be discussing the first four health conditions: anxiety & depression, athletic performance, brain & nerve health and bone & joint health. For each health condition, I discuss how red light therapy can benefit that particular condition and then follow that up with what the photobiomodulation research has to say about that health condition.There is a lot of great information in this episode, so learn lots, light up your health and enjoy! - Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following: The eBook that Dr. Mike developed CCO and its absorption of red light Therapeutic benefits of red light therapy for the brain Neuro transmitter imbalance Oxidative stress & an overproduction of free radicals How red light therapy improves your antioxidant capacity Cell death and how red light therapy protects from it How one month of light therapy treatments reduced anxiety in patients Brain emotion regulation Synergy between red, near-infrared light, and exercise Increasing your exercise capacity and accelerating your recovery Red light therapy prior to exercise Research on athletic performance from red light therapy Improving self awareness and social functioning Stroke prevention Regeneration of nerves Light therapy for spinal cord injury - Red Light Therapy Treatment Protocols eBook - To learn more about red light therapy and shop for the highest-quality red light therapy products, visit www.biolight.shop - Stay up-to-date on social media: Instagram YouTube Facebook

For the next handful of solosodes on The Red Light Report, I will be reading from the eBook I have developed and continuously updated over the last three years, the Red Light Therapy Treatment Protocols eBook. Currently in its third edition, the eBook consists of information that I have distilled from countless sources and hundred upon hundreds of hours reading and researching. With that being said, the eBook is always a work in progress as I continue to update the information and protocols, as well as add new protocols, as new information and research comes to light.The eBook is broken up into a couple of different sections: the first section is comprised of important concepts that everyone should know to help them better understand and harness red light therapy; the second (and much larger) section consists of almost a couple dozen health conditions, where each condition has explanations of how red light therapy can help it, synopses from the most current and strongest research and then, of course, the specific treatment protocol that is completely based off the research.In this solosode, we will be covering the Important Concepts section, which covers red light vs. near-infrared light, mitochondria, the biphasic dose response, hormesis and dosing. Subsequent solosodes will go over the various sections of health conditions, which will hopefully provide you with an all-encompassing perspective of the amazing potential that red light therapy possesses.Learn lots, light up your health and enjoy! - Announcements: Dr. Belkowski speaking engagements: Biohackeruniversity.com Virtual event - August 25 through the 28th Headliner is Tony Robbins Photobiomodulation Symposium In-person event in Rome, Italy This November; exact date to be announced Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following: Red light therapy for anxiety and depression “Repetition is the mother of skill”- Tony Robbins Red and near-infrared light and its benefits The domino effect of dysfunctional mitochondria Anecdotes from his ebook The biphasic dose response - more is not better Over treating with red light therapy Hormesis Appropriate dosage of red light therapy How to mathematically determine dosages - Red Light Therapy Treatment Protocols eBook - To learn more about red light therapy and shop for the highest-quality red light therapy products, visit www.biolight.shop - Stay up-to-date on social media: Instagram YouTube Facebook

Whenever I cross paths with someone that understands red light therapy at a deep level, I love to nerd out. On this week's episode of The Red Light Report, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Amitay Eshel and picking his brain on all things red light therapy. It was the type of conversation where we could have easily geeked out for hours on end and still had more to talk about. Luckily, you get to be a fly on the wall for this exchange topics from red light therapy to sun exposure to biohacking strategies to NAD+ skin cream and more! Amitay Eshel is an entrepreneur in the biohacking and beauty fields. He has held executive roles in the health, wellness, and beauty industry for over a decade, as well as being a business development consultant in that space. As co-founder and CEO of Young Goose, the biohacking skincare company, and host of the Young Goose’s Biohacking Beauty podcast, Amitay has been making waves in his industry through education and innovation.

I know The Red Light Report isn't necessarily about highlighting nutrition, as there's thousands of those podcasts already. However, I did want to acknowledge National Vitamin C Day that occurred this week, so I take a quick dive into the history and benefits of one of the most popular vitamins in the world. Needless to say, you should be getting your daily vitamin C one way or another.Of course, I want to bring you the newest, cutting-edge photobiomodulation research available, so in this episode I will be highlighting three different articles. The first one, which I cover most in-depth, is about red light therapy (RLT) and how it can benefit the healing of tendons. Virtually 100% people on earth cross paths with a tendon injury at one point or another, with a high percentage eventually succumbing to chronic tendon injury/pain. So everyone will want to hear what this article has to say about RLT's benefits for tendon injuries.The subsequent two articles are so hot off the press that I could only get my hands on the abstracts. But regardless, the information and the results on what RLT can do to benefit Bell's palsy and temporomandibular joint disorder (i.e, jaw pain) is quite impressive — further uncovering more and more ways you can utilize red light therapy to your advantage.​​Learn lots, light up your health and enjoy! - Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following: Vitamin deficiency and its effects The sun’s radiation and how our cells react Supplementing vitamin C IV vitamin C Maintaining your vitamin C naturally Light and tendon repair Light and Bell's palsy Red light therapy versus ultrasound for TMD Tendon tears Red light therapy and the tendon healing process LLLT (Low level laser therapy) - Citations:The Functions and Mechanisms of Low-Level Laser Therapy in Tendon Repair (Review) A Study on the Effect of 850 nm Low-Level Diode Laser versus Electrical Stimulation in Facial Nerve Regeneration for Patients with Bell's PalsyComparative efficacy of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) to TENS and therapeutic ultrasound in management of TMDs: a systematic review & meta-analysis - To learn more about red light therapy and shop for the highest-quality red light therapy products, visit www.biolight.shop - Stay up-to-date on social media: Instagram YouTube Facebook

On this week's solosode of The Red Light Report, I deliver a variety pack of information. One of the fun topics I randomly cover is about possibly my favorite non-negotiable adjuvant I take daily: astaxanthin. Ironically, the endless list of powerful benefits from this substance are secondary to sunlight exposure that stresses the algae, developing an orange goop — that goop is astaxanthin. So you could say the benefits derived from astaxanthin are thanks to the light from the sun!I also review the history of light therapy and the interesting ride it has been on over the centuries: from The Golden Age to the Era of Darkness to the New Age of Light. The pendulum has swung both ways and, luckily for us, it is swinging back to the side of evolution, utility and appreciation for the healing benefits of light therapy. This is why we have seen such a surge in photobiomodulation, namely red light therapy.Lastly, I cover the negative impact of light flicker, as it relates to our health. Decades and decades ago, it was thought that if light manufacturers increased the flicker rate so that it wasn't perceptible to the naked eye it wouldn't have a negative impact on our biology. However, we have learned that there can be insidious (or obvious) consequences of "invisible" light flicker, such as headaches/migraines, eye strain, decreased concentration and energy, mood and behavioral disorders and more. That is exactly why I made sure all BioLight panels have the lowest light flicker possible — the first red light therapy company to take that variable into consideration.Learn lots, light up your health and enjoy! - Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following: Building up your solar callous Astaxanthin, its origins and benefits for mitochondrial health How astaxanthin decreases DNA damage Astaxanthin and the skin The history of light therapy as a whole Seasonal Affective Disorder Big Pharma and its effects on perception of light therapy The mitochondrial theory of aging Mitochondrial dysfunction Light flicker and its negative effects - Books Cited:The Kaufmann Protocol, Sandra Kaufmann, MD Light Therapies, Anadi Martel - Where to Buy: Astaxanthin, 12mg - Stay up-to-date on social media: Instagram YouTube Facebook

One of my favorite aspects of red light therapy is the benefits it has on oral health. The photobiomodulation research in this area is exhaustive, demonstrating countless ways that RLT can impact oral health — from infections to gum health to enamel erosion to orthodontic surgery to pain and more! On this week's solosode of The Red Light Report, I will review the many benefits of RLT as it relates to oral health, but then I will take a dive into the health and aesthetic benefits of blue light therapy for oral health and teeth.Blue light therapy is notorious ​for whitening teeth, especially when combined with hydrogen peroxide or carbomide peroxide gel; I will discuss which peroxide is superior for whitening teeth most efficiently. Not only that, blue light is equally effective at selectively killing harmful bacteria while leaving beneficial bacteria alive and thriving, which leads to an optimized oral microbiome. ​Towards the end of the episode, I may or may not have an exciting announcement about a new BioLight product that is about to be released... So listen to the entire episode to find out what it is!Learn lots, light up your health and enjoy! - Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following: An exciting announcement for Dr. Mike Belkowski’s company, Biolight Sunglasses and whether or not we use them too much Demineralization of teeth and how red light therapy prevents it Ulcers/ canker sores and LLLT Orthodontic treatment as it relates to tooth movement Biofilms and and how red light therapy reduces the bacterial load in the root canal system Reduction of hypersensitivity in teeth Dentures and inflammatory responses to them - how red light therapy can help Blue light and tooth whitening Teeth whitening products that are best for your health - Previous Oral Health Episodes:Light & Oral Health w/ Dr. Kelly BlodgettOral Health & Red Light TherapyRed Light Therapy vs. Cold Water Immersion, Melatonin & Photobiomodulation Research on Dentin Hypersensitivity & Orthodontic-related Pain - Citations: Insights into blue light accelerated tooth whitening Comparison of efficacy of tray-delivered carbamide and hydrogen peroxide for at-home bleaching: a systematic review and meta-analysis At-home Bleaching With 10% vs More Concentrated Carbamide Peroxide Gels: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis Safety issues when using a 16% carbamide peroxide whitening solution To learn more about red light therapy and shop for the highest-quality red light therapy products, visit www.biolight.shop - Stay up-to-date on social media: Instagram YouTube Facebook

“We do not see things as they are; we see them as we are... We have less control over our destiny than we think... The harder we look the less we see; by looking less, we see more."I have never finished a conversation feeling so enlightened and in awe of an individual's charisma and aura than I did on this week's episode of The Red Light Report with Dr. Jacob Israel Liberman. Not only is Dr. Liberman an optometrist and a leading authority in the domain of "external" light that we associate the sun and red light therapy with, but he is also a sage, thoughtful guru as it pertains to our "inner" light. In this episode, Dr. Liberman shares some amazing anecdotes on how he helped heal the vision of his patients decades ago with unique tactics that he developed and still uses today, such as human homeopathy and color homeopathy. He clarifies was it actually means to be present, what pure awareness looks like, the battle between the conscious and unconscious mind, what it means to live a full-spectrum life and more... Dr. Jacob Israel Liberman is a pioneer in the fields of light, vision and consciousness and has been enthusiastically endorsed by luminaries in the fields of health, science, and spirituality from Deepak Chopra and Bruce Lipton to Eckhart Tolle and also the author of Light: Medicine of the Future, Take Off Your Glasses and See and Luminous Life.

"Electrons! Electrons! Come get your electrons!" I love when I cross paths with someone that likes to nerd out on mitochondrial health, but especially from the quantum point of view! On this week's episode of The Red Light Report, I was lucky enough to sit down with the brilliant Carrie Bennett, who knows her quantum health inside and out. Not only that, but Carrie is able to take these complex topics and simplify them so anyone and everyone can understand. As you can see from the episode description below, we cover a smorgasbord of quantum health topics, especially how health is impacted by light, water and magnetism.Even though it can be intimidating, it behooves everyone to take a dive deep into health from a quantum perspective. This is truly where the root causes of disease are buried -- deep down at the subatomic level. But as Carrie acknowledges, even though the topics can get a little complex, the solutions are extremely straightforward. And who doesn't like simple, actionable strategies for optimizing wellness and bolstering one's healthspan? As a college athlete, supposedly at the pinnacle of health, Carrie began suffering chronic joint issues and insomnia. After her first child was born she developed debilitating stomach pain, adrenal fatigue, and brain fog. Armed with a BS in Biology, an MS in Nutrition, certifications as a personal trainer, massage therapist, breathing coach, and faculty member of the Quantum Biology Collective, Carrie's mission is to teach her clients how to create a healing environment. By applying quantum health strategies involving morning sunlight, circadian rhythm, grounding, mitochondrial support, cold therapy, sleep and intermittent fasting clients feel powerful healing and lasting benefits. ​ This episode is wall-to-wall full of incredibly profound health information. It may be an episode you want to listen to multiple times to fully grasp the knowledge that Carrie shares with us. In fact, I highly recommend you do, as the implications of applying these quantum health strategies are far-reaching. Carrie is sure to give you an entirely new perspective on what it means to be healthy.

Believe it or not, it has almost been one year since I began The Red Light Report! And I want to thank each and every one of you that has tuned in for any of the episodes and supported me along the way. I am grateful that I have been able to provide you all with impactful information on light, especially red light therapy, and how you can best utilize it to your health's advantage. This is just the beginning...Speaking of the beginning — I wanted to revisit a couple of my very first solosodes on this podcast, specifically on the mitochondria, and continue to build on the foundational information that I've talked about so far in 2022 (i.e., energetic portion of the eye with Dr. Fritz Hollwich & the health benefits of UV light with Dr. Jacob Liberman).Most people haven't listened to these two episodes (and if you have it will be a fabulous review), which contains some of profound information as it pertains to the mitochondria "rubber meeting the (red light therapy) road."In essence, red light therapy works because of its ability to positively impact the mitochondria. So it's imperative to know how and why the mitochondria are import to our health and longevity, as that largely explains why red light therapy is such an amazing healing tool.Learn lots, light up your health and enjoy! - Pt. 1 This important episode covers why the mitochondria is vital for our health, wellness, and longevity. If you're into the science and how things work, Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses three of the most important names in the world of the mitochondria: Dr. Doug Wallace, Dr. Jack Kruse, and Dr. Gerald Pollack. Pt. 2 Dr. Mike Belkowski covers the fundamentals of the life of the mitochondria, the electron transport chain, how they kill themselves off, and how to best optimize your mitochondria. - To learn more about red light therapy and shop for the highest-quality red light therapy products, visit www.biolight.shop - Stay up-to-date on social media: Instagram YouTube Facebook

For the better part of the last century, sunlight, and especially ultraviolet (UV) light, has been demonized and purported as a main instigator in many diseases and cancers. By the end of today's solosode on The Red Light Report, you will be exposed to the truth about UV light and understand the sad irony of those claims. As a kid, we were all told to put on our sunglasses, slather on that sunscreen and if all else fails, cover up with our hats, clothes, scarves, trench coats.... you get the point. It was drilled into us at a young age, that if you were going outside and to be exposed to the sunlight, you had to take precautions so the big bad sun didn't get you.​​Hindsight is 20/20, but how much nutrition via light did we deprive our biology from? How much better off would our health and wellness be today if we hadn't drank the kool-aid and become over-protective against the sun?Bear in mind, I am not saying that we all need to go outside and get sunburns. That is a real negative consequence to excessive UV exposure and can certainly instigate skin cancer. However, we have removed ourselves so far from nature that we have actually caused many of our own problems via mal-illumination. Between blocking UV light into our eyes with fancy sunglasses and UV radiation to our skin via sunscreen and clothing, multitudinous physiological benefits are being swept under the rug -- physiological benefits that have been built over ions by way of evolution. This solosode is largely thanks to Dr. Jacob Liberman and his book published in 1991, Light: The Medicine of the Future. The information in that books is as relevant and profound today as it was 30 years ago. I will cover one particular chapter from that book — UV or Not UV: That is the Question.Learn lots, light up your health and enjoy! - In this solosode, Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following: Quiz questions and answers about red light therapy An excerpt from Light: Medicine of the future by Jacob Liberman Misconceptions of UV light Radiation Sun bathing and UV therapy had become known as one of the most effective treatments for many infectious diseases Questioning the status quo Benefits of UV light Negative effects of the lack of UV light Recommendations for life changes and how you treat light - To learn more about red light therapy and shop for the highest-quality red light therapy products, visit www.biolight.shop - Stay up-to-date on social media: Instagram YouTube Facebook

It's time to get sweaty and hop on the detox train! On this week's episode of The Red Light Report, I had a very fun and enlightening conversation with the one and only Dr. Jess Peatross. She affectionately goes by 'Dr. Jess' and is an absolute wealth of knowledge as it relates to detoxification, mitochondrial health and efficacious holistic treatment modalities. Dr. Jess will outline her favorite way to sauna (along with her favorite type of sauna), her top mitochondrial strategies and her favorite biohacks! Dr. Jess Peatross, MD is a former hospitalist, internal medicine based medical doctor and a certified Gerson Practitioner. She is an expert in the areas of stealth infections, environmental toxicity, regenerative medicine, ozone, and cannabis. Her passion lies in uncovering the mystery behind the chronic illness, whether that be stealth infections, heavy metals, stress/trauma or other environmental toxicities. There are real, root cause answers for WHY the body might be malfunctioning. Trained in medicine at the University of Louisville, Dr. Jess experienced what many of her patients experienced: deep anxiety, hormonal imbalances, and adrenal dysfunction. She sought answers to uncover the root cause of disease – something she thought she had learned in medical school. I thoroughly enjoyed talking with and learning from Dr. Jess and I know you will have a laundry list of take-home points from this episode. Get your sweat on and learn lots! - Dr. Mike Belkowski & Dr. Jess Peatross discuss the following: Her path, background, and health journey How medical school changed since she’s attended Light and how much she learned about it in medical school Her detox program - kill, bind, and sweat Saunas, how they are beneficial, and which ones work best Negative effects of not detoxing and how often you should be doing it The right temperature in a sauna and how long is too long The mitochondria, the lymphatic system, and producing ATP Optimizing your mitochondrial health Difficult health conditions like black mold and Lyme disease & how she approaches them Changing your environment to optimize your health Biologics and regenerative medicine and how it plays a role with treating patients Stem cells, their types, and their potency Treatment with stem cells and its popularity over time Ozone and hyperbaric oxygen treatment Ozone IV treatment and what it’s for Cannabis & its potential uses Environmental toxins and the biggest culprits Red light therapy and her personal use - Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/hcjzZXmt_8Q - Dr. Jess Peatross Websites & Socials: Website: www.drjessmd.com Courses & Webinars: app.drjessmd.comInstagram: dr.jess.md - Book Recommendation by Dr. Jess: The Way Out: A Revolutionary, Scientifically Proven Approach to Healing Chronic Pain - To learn more about red light therapy and shop for the highest-quality red light therapy products, visit www.biolight.shop - Stay up-to-date on social media: Instagram YouTube Facebook

Parkinson’s disease is the second most common age-related neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer’s disease. An estimated seven to 10 million people worldwide have Parkinson’s disease. Men are 1.5 times more likely to have Parkinson’s than women. The disease affects patients’ quality of life, making social interaction more difficult and worsening their financial condition, due to the medical expenses associated with the disease.These are just the tip of the iceberg​, as it relates to sobering stats on Parkinson's disease...​On this week's solosode of The Red Light Report, I decided to report on some hot-off-the-press research about -- you guessed it -- red light therapy and Parkinson's disease. We typically associate Parkinson's as just a disease of the brain. But what if I told you that your gut microbiome may playing a larger role in the disease via the gut-brain axis?​​It turns out that most individuals with Parkinson's have the opposite desired ratio of bacteria ('good' vs. 'bad') that is seen in a healthy, vibrant gut environment. ​​This research article, which was published in early January, uncovers the amazing potential that red light therapy, specifically near-infrared light, has on improving the ratio of 'good' bacteria to 'bad' bacteria in the gut. ​This is a very exciting piece of research, as it further demonstrates the versatile healing abilities of red light therapy and just how resilient our bodies can be when given what it wants. In this case, the gut wanted some NIR light.
