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

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

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. Take the self test, it's free and may put you on the right path to recovery.

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.

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!).

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

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.

Step into the illuminating world of The Red Light Report as we embark on a journey to uncover the truth behind product integrity in red light therapy companies. In this eye-opening episode, I confront a startling truth: the entire industry has been either ignorantly or intentionally misrepresenting its device's light irradiance measurements. ​ An inconvenient truth in today's health, wellness, biohacking and anti-aging markets, the harsh reality is that consumers are being misled via marketing more than they would like to believe. Unfortunately, the red light therapy market is not immune to these charades. It is time that someone exposes the misinformation that has permeated the red light therapy landscape for far too long, unbeknownst to consumers. The gross embellishment of light irradiances on devices needs to end now and we must set a new standard for all red light therapy companies and products. ​ Third-party testing takes center stage, where we shed light on its crucial role in separating fact from fiction. Learn how independent assessments and verifiable data can provide the transparency needed to navigate the complex world of red light therapy. Many companies "claim" to have third party testing without any other verification. If so, it should be clearly posted on their website and provided to consumers with ease. Prepare to have your mind expanded and enlightened in this episode of The Red Light Report. Empower yourself with this information and please share it if you find it to be important for others to know. It's time to elevate the red light therapy market together and move in a positive direction. As always, light up your health! - Key points: Product integrity in red light therapy companies (3:53) Light irradiance: (5:30) The consumers have been misled: (6:26) Third-party testing: (7:58) Higher light irradiance does not mean it's better: (8:58) Third-party testing results of different companies' devices: (17:32) People are getting inaccurate information: (26:05) The entire industry has been mismeasuring their devices: (27:50) An excerpt on third-party testing: (33:32) Why light irradiance is so important: (42:15) The direction red light therapy needs to go: (44:07) "A rising tide lifts all ships": (45:05) - References from the episode: 3rd Party Data Deception: Red Light Therapy Intensity Top Offenders - GembaRed - Check out BioLight's newest device: the newest, updated Shine! - 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

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

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

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

New research shows that you can treat COVID-19 brain fog with red light therapy by either treating the brain directly OR by doing full-body treatments. How cool is that?! On this week's solosode of The Red Light Report, we will dig into three separate photobiomodulation articles that cover an array of topics and continue to add to the depth of our understanding of red light therapy's potential and, equally important, its potential limitations. As I eluded to above, the first article I will report on comes from one of our good friends and former podcast guests, Praveen Arany, on how brain fog secondary to COVID-19 can be treated with red light therapy either transcranially or via full-body treatments. That's awesome to know, as that gives us options and some flexibility en route to positive benefits for this health malady; as far as I'm concerned, it's nice to have options!The second article is for the women out there and/or those that work in the women's health field: transvaginal red light therapy in order to help reduce pain related to interstitial cystitis/ bladder pain syndrome. For many of you, this may be the first time you have heard about red light therapy inside the vagina. However, this type of a treatment has been an option for women for quite some time with many potential health benefits. This is just the first time I have reported on it on the podcast.The last article is about red light therapy and its potential with treating skin cancer. There is a decent amount of overlap with the article we covered last week on RLT and cancer, but it's always great to hear the information from a slightly different vantage point and different researchers. ​​​​It's nice to cover several topics in a single episode to help convey red light therapy's many potentials and versatility. At the very least, it goes to show that darn near anyone and everyone can benefit from a little red light therapy in their lives​.

On this week's episode of The Red Light Report, I unveil BioLight's newest product, the Glow! I detail why the Glow was developed, what makes it special and why it is significantly different than any other handheld red light therapy device on the market. More importantly, I cover one photobiomodulation research article in detail on a topic that I constantly get questions about: cancer. One of the amazing features of red light therapy is that, according to the research, there are zero contraindications for implementing it for a given health condition; that includes cancer. Of course, that comes with the caveat that one should not directly irradiate the site of an active cancer, but can safely treat other parts of the body. And that is not necessarily because irradiating the active cancer site would lead to negative consequences (in some research it has, in others it has actually been beneficial), rather we simply do not know enough to confidently provide guidance on how to best yield red light therapy efficaciously. Said another way, better safe than sorry.With all of that being said, this WALT (World Association for Photobiomodulation Therapy; the "L" used to stand for Laser) paper provides some clarification on the topic of red light therapy and cancer; basically, highlighting what we do and don't know. At the very least, this provides guide rails, much needed expert perspective on a delicate topic and informs us where we stand in the landscape of red light therapy and cancer. I also have a couple of impromptu rabbit holes I go down, one that includes how many red light therapy companies are inflating their light irradiance as a marketing tactic.With every piece of research we unearth, we only learn more about the amazing healing frequencies of red and near-infrared light.

In a world where leaky gums leads to leaky gut and amalgam fillings are literal antennas for your phones and other nearby EMF-producing devices, it's not difficult to become justifiably fervent that your entire health begins in your mouth. My view on oral health was completely transfigured when I listened to Dr. Dominik Nischwitz, today's guest on The Red Light Report, on Ben Greenfield's podcast three years ago. Up to that point, I was under the illusion that oral health meant keeping your teeth clean, free of plaque and cavities purely for the sake of having a healthy mouth and that's where it ended. But after reading Dr. Nischwitz's book this past week and then speaking with him personally, I have re-affirmed my belief that virtually any and all health truly begins with optimizing your oral health and oral care regimen. However, you'll learn from Dr. Dome that many of us may need to unfix some of traditional medicine's dental procedures in order to truly move forward with a strong foundation of oral health. Otherwise, the vast majority of us are walking around with perpetual, low-level inflammatory issues (that we ourselves or allopathic dentists won't be able to perceive!), never-ending mercury vapor being released from fillings and many other potential vitality killers. During our conversation today, Dr. Dome covers countless topics that are likely make your jaw drop, including the simplicity of his oral hygiene regimen, how he treats patients at his dental practice in Germany, the interplay of the oral and gut microbiome, the three health killers (metals, root canals, cavitations), how nutrition and your diet is more important than brushing your teeth and much more!​​Dr. Dominik Nischwitz (AKA Dr. Dome) is know as "worlds leading biological dentist" and one of the first ceramic implant specialists. Dr. Dome is an international speaker and Author of "It's All in Your Mouth", with the goal of establishing biological dentistry as the new standard for health optimization protocols for all health practitioners and dentists alike using the term: "health starts in your mouth." Dr. Nischwitz has exclusively used ceramic implants since 2013, placing more than 5000 to date, and is considered a pioneer in the field of biological and holistic dentistry. His other passions include functional medicine, holistic nutrition and competitive sports. Dr. Dome trains traditional dentists in proper biological dentistry practices, and believes that optimal health starts in the mouth. This is another conversation that could've gone on for hours upon hours, as Dr. Dome is truly a beast of knowledge when it comes to biological dentistry and oral health. This is an episode I will personally listen to a couple of times and, of course, I HIGHLY recommend you read his book that covers much more information.

Today's guest is genuinely one of my favorite people to talk to, as we are kindred spirits in so many ways. This became even more abundantly clear on this week's episode of The Red Light Report, as Dr. Chris Motley and I both agreed to join forces on a special red light therapy project (that I am incredibly excited about!). This manifested completely out of thin air and was 100% impromptu during the middle of our conversation. If you are a longtime TRLR listener, you likely recognize this name, as he was a guest back in September '21, where we cover some fascinating topics: frequency therapy, dry needling vs. acupuncture, emotions related to specific organs, light/energy/resonance and so much more! I highly recommend going back and listening to our first conversation -- the link to that episode is in the show notes below.As a quick review, Dr. Chris Motley is a doctor of chiropractic, is credentialed in acupuncture, is a highly respected expert in Chinese Medicine and Frequency Medicine and also has certifications in Chiro + Plus Kinesiology (CPK) and Neuro Emotional Technique. With his wealth of knowledge, he is a presenter at symposiums and is also a podcast co-host on Dr. Josh Axe's, Ancient Health Podcast. Dr. Motley also announced that he is now beginning a membership where you can join and learn from him in a more intimate setting and garner more of his amazing holistic knowledge and skillset. I highly recommend checking his membership out — I know I will!During our conversation today, Dr. Motley goes into some interesting and highly-engaging Chinese and frequency medicine and topics, such as how we can best transition our bodies and organs out of the slower, recovering mode of the winter season and into the reawakening and growing process of the spring season. He even walks through some hands-on techniques for self-treatment to help facilitate this process. It felt like this conversation went by in a couple of minutes and Dr. Motley and I could've easily talked for hours longer. However, I am always grateful for his time and the wisdom he is impassioned to share with anyone and everyone that is interested in improving their many aspects of health holistically. Enjoy learning from Dr. Motley and, as always, light up your health! - Dr. Mike Belkowski and Dr. Chris Motley discuss the following: Intro: (0:16) What's new in his life: (2:57) His interactive membership: (6:12) Avoiding burnout: (8:22) Overworking: (10:31) Chinese medicine and living by its rules: (12:12) Transitioning into spring out of winter: (15:01) How to know when Chinese medicine is working: (19:01) Being in tune with your body: (21:25) Emotions tied to the gall bladder: (22:32) Negative gall bladder health and how it manifests in the body: (23:40) Releasing anger: (25:00) Cupping specific areas of the body: (29:03) How hard to press on pressure points: (31:17) Dry needling: (32:46) Taking your health into your own hands (36:48) Red light therapy and Chinese medicine: (39:54) Red light therapy and dry needling: (44:45) Fusing old-age knowledge with new-age technology: (45:58) Translucent needles that can transfer light: (46:59) Acupuncture on a consistent basis for maintaining health and wellness: (49:41) How oral health affects overall wellness: (52:21) - Watch this on YouTube - Listen to our previous conversation from the episode in September 2021, "Energy & Emotions, Frequency Therapy & Acupuncture vs. Dry Needling w/ Dr. Christopher Motley"Apple Podcasts Spotify - Where to Learn More From & About Dr. Chris Motley: Find him on social media: Instagram @DoctorMotley Facebook @DoctorMotley Go to his website: DoctorMotley.com - Check out BioLight's new, cutting-edge full-body product: The Adapt System - Save 20% via BioLight Bundles all year long! - Check out the Kindle version of Red Light Therapy Treatment Protocols eBook, 4th Edition - To learn more about red light therapy and shop for the highest-quality red light therapy products, visit https://www.biolight.shop - Stay up-to-date on social media: Instagram

On this week's episode of The Red Light Report, I will peel back the curtain on BioLight's newest piece of innovative red light therapy technology: the Adapt System. Many of you likely heard about it when it was officially released a couple of months ago, but I wanted to give an explanation of what makes the Adapt System, which consists of the Adapt Table and the Adapt Panel, so unique, versatile and a must-have for any physician/practitioner, longevity clinic, med spa, recovery/performance center, yoga studio/cross fit gym, etc. that is looking to implement red light therapy for their patients and clients. After that, we will spend the bulk of the episode on one piece of photobiomodulation research that looks at transcranial RLT for treating the brains of four ex-football players with possible chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE. And CTE has become a very hot topic in the NFL, especially ever since the movie, Concussion (starring Will Smith), was released back in 2015. However, the concern regarding CTE in football, other sports and other aspects of life has only grown and remains ever-present to this day.It is also appropriate to recognize that this particular study utilized only four participants, which is very low in the world of research. However, even with that in mind, the results ascertained in this study simply by directing near-infrared light to the brain is unequivocally profound... and the results were achieved in only six weeks!Hopefully you find this episode fascinating and insightful. As always, light up your health (especially your brain)! - Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following: 0:16 - The Adapt System - BioLight's new, cutting-edge full-body product 8:33 - Photobiomodulation research on treating concussions 9:40 - CTE disease 15:09 - Treating strokes with photobiomodulation 16:12 - LED vs laser treatment 18:57 - Reactive oxygen species and free radicals 19:29 - How often to use red light therapy 25:12 - Less irratibility & anxiety 26:20 - Transcranial photobiomodulation treatment 27:20 - Increased BDNF 27:46 - Treatment of PTSD 38:31 - The conclusion of the article _ Research article from the episode:Transcranial Photobiomodulation Treatment: Significant Improvements in Four Ex-Football Players with Possible Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy - Learn more about RLT's benefits for: Brain & Cognitive Health - Check out BioLight's new, cutting-edge full-body product: The Adapt System _ Save 20% via BioLight Bundles all year long! _ Check out the Kindle version of Red Light Therapy Treatment Protocols eBook, 4th Edition _ To learn more about red light therapy and shop for the highest-quality red light therapy products, visit https://www.biolight.shop _ Stay up-to-date on social media: Instagram

Could the combination of red light and blue light cause an electrical event, even if minuscule? I am infatuated with interacting and conversing with experts in the holistic health and wellness space whom possess unique, profound information — you learn so much from these individuals! Today's guest on The Red Light Report, Lance Schuttler, is an individual I have been following for some time because he produces amazing informational health content that both resonates with me and I continue learn from. On top of that, he is the founder and CEO of a high-quality, high-integrity holistic nutrition and wellness company, Ascent Nutrition.Lance graduated from the University of Iowa with a degree in Health Science. On top of running a highly successful company, he is also a contributing health and wellness writer at The Epoch Times and Video Advice. Lance's work also includes the topics of regenerative agriculture, resource-based economies and quantum technologies.During our conversation, we cover an array of interesting topics, including bioenergetics, DHA, the power of mushrooms (including a mushroom I had never heard of before, agarikon), how/why his company is particularly transparent with their nutritional labeling, his own personal experience with red light therapy and his unique take on the potential benefit of irradiating your teeth with red and near-infrared light. Lance brings a remarkable set of knowledge and expertise to the conversation that lends to some fascinating insight and theories that will be sure to have you fascinated and get you thinking.

This week on The Red Light Report we are sticking with the Italian theme, as I had the pleasure to sit down and chat with mio amico, Manuel Salvadori, who is responsible for arranging me as a guest speaker at the School of Functional Medicine and Nutrition symposium in Rome last November. Manuel is a registered nutritionist in Italy, a passionate biohacker of ten-plus years and is especially focused on nootropics, sleep and lifestyle changes. Also, given that Italian is his first language, he speaks relatively flawless English... Molto bene!Manuel and I cover many interesting topics given that he lives in a different country and also a different continent; specifically, the contrast between the medical and healthcare landscape between Italy and America and how/why Europe is consistently years and years behind the US when it comes to learning and adopting health/biohacking/longevity information and technology. Given Manuel's interests and expertise, we also dive into nootropics where he has a very deep history with experimentation and, with that background, has an enlightened perspective and sage advice for those using and/or interested in beginning to use nootropics. Needless to say, be careful with how you proceed as it can be a slippery slope! And, of course, we have some great conversation about red light therapy and how he came to learn about and adopt it, how he utilizes RLT, what benefits he has noticed and more! Manuel brings some unique insight and wonderful perspective from across the pond. The only thing we forgot to talk about was Italian food (their pizza is unparalleled!) — we'll have to save that for his next interview. As always, enjoy the episode, learn lots and light up your health! - Dr. Mike Belkowski & Manuel Salvadori discuss the following: 1:28 - His foundation in functional medicine and light 1:59 - His passion for sleep 6:57 - Treatments and remedies he provides for his clients 8:25 - The biohacking room 9:26 - Lack of insurance coverage 10:04 - The typical wait time for health services in Italy 11:25 - Cost of healthcare 12:05 - Choice in healthcare 13:11 - Information and technology differences between US & Italy 17:48 - "Biohacking" as a new term in Italy 21:34 - Growing popularity of red light therapy 24:19 - Incentive to invest money into your health 27:40 - Being healthy in Italy is "not cool" 29:53 - Nootropics 33:40 - The placebo effect and nootropics 35:03 - Personal nootropic use 36:58 - Red light therapy and how he uses it 38:56 - Increasing HRV with red light therapy 40:33 - Improved muscle recovery with red light therapy 41:16 - Working focus and red light therapy 42:10 - Improving stretching with red light therapy 44:09 - Sunlight exposure 44:33 - Other benefits Manuel sees in red light therapy 47:35 - Biohacking he is excited about 50:51 - Over exposure to cold therapy (cryotherapy) 53:54 - Cold and hunger exposure 55:40 - Learn more about Manuel - Watch this on YouTube _ Where to Learn More From & About Manuel Salvadori: Instagram: @dr.perf0rmance Website: www.ManuelSalvadori.it Email: The Adapt System _ Save 20% via BioLight Bundles all year long! - Check out the Kindle version of Red Light Therapy Treatment Protocols eBook, 4th Edition - To learn more about red light therapy and shop for the highest-quality red light therapy products, visit https://www.biolight.shop - Stay up-to-date on social media: Instagram

Ciao! For the 100th episode of The Red Light Report, we are traveling to Italy! In mid-November last year, I was one of three English-speaking guest speakers at a functional medicine and nutrition conference in Rome where I spoke on — you guessed it — red light therapy. It was a genuine honor and a fun experience to spread the word and knowledge on photobiomodulation overseas. In my presentation, I describe the fundamental tenants of red light therapy, the mechanisms of how it actually works at the cellular level, go over the wide array of photobiomodulation research and provide some tips and tricks as to how one can best utilize this amazing therapy.If you have been listening to this podcast for some time, most of the information you have heard before. But as you all know, repetition of important information leads to deep learning and empowerment. Even for myself, I personally love to revisit this information every so often as it is the foundation and cornerstone of what red light therapy is, the nuts and bolts of how it works and just some of the profound research that proves its efficacy.Enjoy the episode, learn (and re-learn) lots and light up your health... grazie! - Dr. Mike Belkowski presents the following: 9:45 - Exposing your body to red and near-infrared light 10:08 - Optimizing mitochondrial health 11:53 - Mitochondrial dysfunction and Dr. Doug Wallace 12:34 - Diseases caused by mitochondrial dysfunction 14:52 - Sunlight exposure and an interesting study done in Sweden 16:04 - Mal-illumination 17:40 - Cytochrome C Oxidase - how the mitochondria responds to red & near-infrared light 19:25 - The electron transport chain 25:06 - Mitochondrial theory of aging 25:47 - Redox potential 21:35 - Research on photobiomodulation 27:49 - Research on anxiety & depression 29:48 - Research on eye health 30:49 - Research on fat loss 32:34 - Research on oral health 35:30 - Research on pain 36:54 - Research on pre-conditioning for exercise 38:30 - Research on skin health 39:40 - Research on sleep 40:53 - Research on thyroid health 42:08 - How to use red light therapy - Watch this presentation on YouTube _ Check out BioLight's new, cutting-edge full-body product: The Adapt System _ Save 20% via BioLight Bundles all year long! - Check out the Kindle version of Red Light Therapy Treatment Protocols eBook, 4th Edition - To learn more about red light therapy and shop for the highest-quality red light therapy products, visit https://www.biolight.shop - Stay up-to-date on social media: Instagram

This week on The Red Light Report, we will continue to dive into more photobiomodulation research. However, this research will be looking at three unique topics that typically don't get as much attention. The first article investigates treating hair loss via red light therapy; not using "normal" light, but rather red light therapy via vortex beams. This is the first time I have heard of vortex beams, but apparently it led to more efficacious results! The second piece of research is an abstract of an article that tackled red light therapy for insulin resistance; the preliminary results look promising, which would be a massive win for those dealing with blood sugar and insulin-related diseases. Lastly, we take a deeper exploration into an article that utilizes red light therapy for fat loss in obese individuals. The researchers also have more insight into the mechanism of how photobiomodulation actually decreases fat adiposity on the body.Hair loss, insulin resistance and fat loss — seems like three major areas of the health market that consumers could greatly benefit from a non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical and more financially friendly option. Huzzah for red light therapy! ​​As always, enjoy the episode, learn lots and light up your health! - Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following: 1:33 - The first research article on hair growth 11:30 - The second research article on insulin resistance 13:32 - Results of the study 14:29 - Combining red light therapy with exercise 20:00 - The last research article on fat loss with red light therapy 27:39 - The conclusion in the fat loss article - Research articles from the episode: Enhanced hair growth effects through low-level vortex beams radiation: An experimental animal study Photobiomodulation Therapy on the Treatment of Insulin Resistance: A Narrative Review Effects of LED photobiomodulation therapy on the subcutaneous fatty tissue of obese individuals - histological and immunohistochemical analysis - 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

On this week's solosode of The Red Light Report, we return to the photobiomodulation research and cover an array of fascinating topics. We first look into how red light therapy may be able to improve symptoms of rosacea in a mouse model. Secondly, we take a deep dive into a review article that analyzes the research on photobiomodulation for the brain at night, while sleeping, to improve the function of the glymphatic system. Lastly, we cover an article that uncovers some exciting potential between transcranial photobiomodulation for the brain and short-term memory. This is important, as short-term memory is the first to go with neurodegenerative diseases involving the brain.I hope you find this research illuminating and appreciate the promising implications it has for our health and wellness.

For the first interview of 2023 on The Red Light Report, I welcome back a dear friend and repeat guest, Alain Dijkstra, who is the founder and CEO of Kaiyan Medical, one of the world's foremost LED light therapy producer and manufacturer. If you may recall, Alain started Kaiyan in a hotel room way back in 2009 and has built it into the juggernaut that it is today.Being thoroughly entrenched in the light therapy space for almost two decades, Alain has a very keen and insightful perspective on how much red light therapy industry has grown in a relatively short period of time. However, he is the first to admit that there are still many aspects that need to be improved upon, both on the product side of light therapy, but also with respect to the photobiomodulation research that is being produced. Alain offers up strategies that would help move the light therapy industry as a whole forward in a positive manner.Alain is also very savvy when it comes to understanding the nuances of product specifications, certifications, legal standards and so forth. He explains in detail what makes a medical device, what a 510k product is and more. This will help consumers and anyone interested in red light therapy products gain a better perspective of what all the regulation entails and what it actually means. Alain could write a textbook on red light therapy (and maybe he will someday), so you know you are listening and learning from one of the best in the industry. As always, light up your health! - Dr. Mike Belkowski and Alain Dijkstra discuss the following: 3:28 - Circadian rhythm and red light therapy 3:48 - Changes he's seen in Kaiyan Medical and trends he's seen in red light therapy 4:55 - Herpes treatment via red light therapy 6:16 - How a consumer knows if it's a 510k product 10:25 - Medical claims about products 13:21 - Classifying light panels as medical 21:12 - Measuring light and how it's absorbed by the body 26:30 - The "sweet spot" for red light therapy 30:48 - Clinical studies on lasers vs LEDs 31:42 - Heat spots 33:56 - Standardization of red light therapy products and methods 35:47 - Keeping consumers informed with the right information 45:50 - Less is more with red light therapy 46:42 - Timing red light therapy treatments 48:30 - Your location on the earth and how it affects light absorption 50:20 - Light is the future of medicine 52:10 - Measuring the effects of light 53:24 - Measuring mitochondrial health 54:29 - Conditions on the cusp of being treated via light 58:21 - Light as a food 59:46 - Creating good habits with red light therapy 1:03:12 - New and cool technologies - Watch this episode on YouTube - Learn More About Alain Dijkstra: LinkedIn: Alain Dijkstra Website: Kayain Medical - 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

The series finale on Earthing should be the episode that fully converts you into a full-fledged believer. This week on The Red Light Report you will hear from countless individuals, as they discuss how grounding helped improved their health, wellness, well-being and quality of life over an array of health conditions. The numerous anecdotes I cover will be the proof in the pudding that will take you off the fence, if that is where you are sitting, or just further drive home the point that grounding MUST become a part of your daily (in a perfect world, hourly and/or continuous) health regimen going forward. There are also a couple of enlightening sections towards the end of the book that cover grounding and its connection to ameliorating female health, athletic performance and pet health. These three sections clearly demonstrate how versatile and instrumental Earthing is to our wellness and the health of all living creatures on the planet. From an analytic perspective, it coherently substantiates how being disconnected from the very Earth we live on is potentially the most dastardly self-inflicted wound we impose on our health and wellbeing. In the end, I hope you all walk away from this solosode series with a greater reverence for the perpetual healing force that is just outside your door in the grass; that you are constantly surrounded by an overabundance of free electrons that your body can use to heal and thrive; and that it is typically just on the other side of the non-conductive rubber in your shoes and the sole of your feet. Enjoy, learn lots and light up your health! - Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following: 1:16 - Getting back to nature 4:31 - The high points of grounding 7:37 - Mitigating EMF exposure 8:22 - Improving your HRV (Heart rate variability) with grounding 9:54 - Anecdotes of earthing 11:48 - Alleviating shoulder pain via earthing 11:04 - Alleviating severe knee pain via earthing 12:56 - Improving sleep quality via grounded bed sheets 15:00 - Shifting Lives with Earthing: A Physiatrist's Perspective (Tracy Latz, MD) 16:05 - Treating anxiety with earthing 16:53 - Depression and earthing 19:49 - Improving athletic performance via earthing 20:01 - Conditions Often Healed that Typically Never Get Better 22:33 - Rapid fire anecdotes of earthing benefits 28:06 - Arthritis and earthing 31:07 - Autism and earthing 34:48 - Back pain and earthing 36:52 - Women and earthing 39:14 - In Their Own Words 44:42 - Fertility and earthing 51:57 - Grounding for pets - 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

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.

This week on The Red Light Report, you are going to learn about an innovative red light therapy product from BioLight that resolves these two issues and also provides many other attributes that will make red light therapy easier and more relaxing to do than ever before!

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.
