This week's episode on The Red Light Report is the grand finale of the three-part solosode series about light and its influence on the "energetic portion" of our eyes. This rather old, yet profound information, comes from the research of German ophthalmologist Fritz Hollwich and other studies he collected from the late 1800s through the 1970s in his book, The Influence of Ocular Light Perception on Metabolism in Man and in Animal.We covered the following topics in last week's episode: light and body temperature, light and kidney function, light and blood count and light and metabolic functions. The research in these areas leave no doubt that we all possess another pathway in our eyes that leads to downstream effects in our physiology, for better and, certainly, for worse.This week, we will be learning the following topics: light and thyroid function, light and sexual function, light and adrenal and pituitary functions, natural sunlight and artificial fluorescent light, light pollution, and the importance of light in metabolism in man and animal: summary. The last three sections are of utmost importance and by far have the most applicable take-home points of this entire solosode series.While this information may be "old," given the book was published in 1979, it has never been more timely and relevant than now with our illuminated modern-day lifestyles. Ever since 1879, when Edison invented the lightbulb, the pendulum has been constantly swinging to the other side. And while there have been many advancements and benefits directly because of the lightbulb, virtually every aspect of our biology has paid the preverbal price.Fritz Hollwich was very aware of the fact that our lighting environments taxed our health -- even over 80 years ago! And thanks to him, we know definitively that the window into our eyes tells the entire story. - Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following: Light and thyroid function Research done on ducks with red light to the eyes Research on mice and rabbits in light Light and sexual function The sexual function in starlings and jays - being exposed to red light at night Testosterone production in males The importance of light entering the energetic portion of your eye How light stimulates gonadal activity Research on how red light stimulates testicular development Research on how light and temperature control increases egg production in birds How you can determine the sex of your dog by the lighting conditions Increase in oxytocin due to increased light exposure How light affects the growth of deer antlers Light and adrenal and petuitary functions Natural light and artificial fluorescent light How all organisms are affected by the day/ night sequence How too much artificial light leads to pathological changes in the organism The monotony of artificial lighting How natural sunlight balances our stress hormones How we were raised through evolution by full-spectrum sunlight Light pollution and the importance of light and metabolism in man and animal - 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

In the second part of this three-part series on The Red Light Report, we are going to continue learning from one of the top light pioneers and light researchers of all-time, Fritz Hollwich, via his book The Influence of Ocular Light Perception on Metabolism in Man and in Animal.For a quick review, we covered the following topics in last week's episode: the energetic portion of the optic nerve, light and the pineal gland and light and growth. That information laid the foundation for understanding the true impact that light has on our physiology. Backed by research from the early 1900s no less! This week, we will be learning the following topics: light and body temperature, light and kidney function, light and blood count and light and metabolic functions. We will continue to uncover powerful research demonstrating the impact of light, but now in different areas of our biology.​​This further proves just how profound the light environment you surround yourself on a consistent basis truly is. It doesn't just impact one area of your health and wellness, it virtually impacts ALL facets of health and wellness -- via the energetic pathway of your eye. As always, buckle up for some learning and enjoy! - Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following: Light and body temperature How light affects all aspects of our health Circadian rhythm of body temperature in adults How infants don’t have a circadian rhythm What happens when the circadian rhythm changes and how that disturbs body temperature The impact of light through your eye Light and kidney function Light and water balance How blindness leads to more water retention How circadian rhythm is impacted by shifted work schedules Light and blood count How blood is so closely involved with the whole organism Light and its effects on the immune system and white blood cells Light and metabolic function Lipid metabolism Light and protein metabolism Liver metabolism Light and blood sugar How animals are easier to fatten in dark places than when kept in bright areas How our light environment has real consequences - 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 a new year, which means this is a perfect time to learn some groundbreaking, foundational information regarding light and the eye from the early- and mid-1900s. That's correct, I said "groundbreaking" and the 1900s in the same sentence! Beginning on this week's episode of The Red Light Report, we are embarking on a three-part solosode series that will (likely) change the way you think about light, your eyes and their impact on your overall health and wellness... and, believe it or not, I am not talking about your eyesight or vision. In fact, what if I told you that vision was the second most important aspect of your eyes?Ironically, the majority of the eye-opening research I will be citing during these episodes has been around for over fifty years -- and some, almost 100 years -- yet I can virtually guarantee that you have never heard this information before. It's curious how this all-important information about light and our eyes has been lying around in the archives of libraries and the annals of the internet for decades and decades, only to be ignored and/or never given the proper attention it sincerely deserves.... Hence, this three-part solosode series! The book I will be referencing in these episodes is The Influence of Ocular Light Perception on Metabolism in Man and in Animal, by German researcher and ophthalmologist Fritz Hollwich. This guy was way before his time! In his book, Hollwich clearly demonstrates, through his and others research, the countless ways that light impacts health via our eye. Again, in this instance vision (or our "visual pathway") is not the key factor, as there is an alternate pathway that induces these physiological benefits; what Hollwich called an "energetic pathway."I am excited to be presenting this information to you, as the first time I read this book and the research presented, it left my jaw on the ground and my socks knocked off. These episodes are going to be jam-packed with cutting-edge information that you will assuredly find paradigm-shifting and will undoubtedly cause you to pause and reconsider your light environment for your health's sake. Buckle up and enjoy! - On this solosode, Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following: The profound effects sunlight has on our biology How light is a primal element of life An excerpt from Fritz Hollwich How artificial light cannot replace sunlight Grounding with the earth How the earth’s electromagnetic field is nourishing to our bodies The negative effects of fluorescent light The energetic portion of the optic nerve Light and the pineal gland Symptoms that receded after sufficient exposure to sunlight Our light environment and how it affects health conditions and diseases Blindness and its effect on benefits from light The third eye Melatonin and how light stimulates it Research done by Wimmer in 1856 on how light affects the blind - Resources: The Influence of Ocular Light Perception on Metabolism in Man and in Animal, Fritz Hollwich - 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 the last episode of The Red Light Report this year, I decided it would be fun to take a slight deviation and learn about therapies that involve healing frequencies other than light. I will discuss the healing benefits of sound, specifically 528Hz that is also known as the "frequency of love" and the "frequency of health and longevity." We will then turn our attention to pulsed electromagnetic therapy, better known as PEMF therapy, and the many benefits that can be derived from these frequencies; interestingly, PEMF therapy shares many similar attributes to those found with red light therapy. Lastly, we will dive into two pieces of photobiomodulation research: one article looking at PEMF and red light therapy for reducing the hyper-inflammation associated with COVID-19 and another article looking at how transcranial red light therapy can assist with treating the core features of autism spectrum disorder. I want to say thank you to every single one of you that listens to The Red Light Report. What started out as a spontaneous undertaking to help get the word out about red light therapy and the many benefits it possesses has turned into a passion project and a platform that has allowed me to share my and other experts' knowledge and experiences with red light therapy (along with the many topics within health, wellness and longevity) and also continuously disseminate the newest and best photobiomodulation research. My hope is that you find the podcast informational, thought-provoking and applicable.Even though there are countless ways to utilize red light therapy, I believe we are just beginning to harness the full potential it has to offer. I am excited to see what new research comes out in 2022 and you better believe I will be sharing that information with you all on the podcast. So I appreciate all of you for tuning in to the podcast and also for your patience as I grow as a podcast host and interviewer -- something I never planned on attempting before the beginning of this year, but has genuinely helped me grow as a person in many ways.To your health, wellness & longevity,Dr. Mike Belkowski - On this solosode, Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following: Frequency-related gifts he traded during Christmas Photobiomodulation research Transcranial red light therapy and its effect on autism Healing benefits from sound DNA repair from 528 Hz Other benefits and applications for 528 H sound PEMF mats (Pulse Electromagnetic field mats) The mitochondria and how they produce ATP Optimizing your mitochondrial health The top 8 benefits of PEMF therapy How photobiomodulation can reduce inflammation Photobiomodulation research and autism - Citations: Therapeutic application of light and electromagnetic fields to reduce hyper-inflammation triggered by COVID-19 Transcranial Photobiomodulation in Adults with High-Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder: Positive Findings from a Proof-of-Concept Study - 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 episode of The Red Light Report, I thought it would be fun to revisit the most popular episode of 2021! It was the fun conversation I had with the great intellect, David Horinek, where we dive into various aspect of anti-aging, longevity, infrared energy, light and water -- many of which he brilliantly incorporated into the numerous innovative products he created over the years. Equally exciting, David is the creator of the Longevv Revivv and Longevv Recovvr cremes that I had him develop to specifically harness the healing benefits of red and near-infrared light. I have David go into detail and explain the amazing benefits of each ingredient -- which on their own possess potent health & anti-aging characteristics for the skin -- and why he included them in the Longevv cremes. 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. Listen closely, as David drops a massive amount of knowledge on this episode! - Dr. Mike Belkowski & David Horinek discuss the following: How red light restored the eyesight of mice BioSun and how he created sunlight in a bottle How the human body actually gives off light and how the mitochondria plays a part The Longevv Revīvv creme - how it helps you absorb red and near infrared light How Miron VioletGlass is a revolutionary material in numerous products The special ingredients that go into the Revīvv creme BioLumin - the photodynamic amino acid The Pulsar Technology and how its field prevents various ailments Fibronectin - the holy grail of the anti aging world Astaxanthin, why it’s useful and how it is 1000x stronger than vitamin E as an antioxidant Benefits of turmeric and cupuacu butter Copper peptides for anti-aging and how it perpetuates the production of stem cells The history of carbon 60 and buckminsterfullerene and how it reduces oxidative stress Carbon Bob - Watch the YouTube video of this episode here: https://youtu.be/M1_1jc5OzQw - David Horinek's recommendations: Celliant Products: 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/ - 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: https://www.Instagram.com/biolight.shop

I remember when I was first seeking a way for BioLight to somehow become involved in a scientific study and have our products validated by research. It didn't take long for my path to entangle with today's guest, Elias Arjan. At the time, Elias was overseeing an arm of Biostrap called Biostrap Labs, which he himself developed to help biohacking and wellness brands run their products through a valid research protocol -- utilizing the biometric data from Biostrap wearables -- to provide scientific evidence to support their own products. As you will learn from Elias, the biohacking landscape is tantamount to the wild wild west where there just isn't much regulation. Sound similar to the supplement industry? On today's episode of The Red Light Report, Elias talks in depth about his passion for evidence-based biohacking and how that would help combat misinformation and over-hyped marketing, ultimately empowering the consumer. He is also a bonafide expert in all things wearables and biometrics, so he shares his knowledge in these areas as well.

On this week's episode of The Red Light Report, I interview an individual I met in Miami last month at Biohacking Congress. Today's guest, Barton Scott, approached me after my presentation on red light therapy and we immediately hit it off. And not just because we were like-minded individuals attending a biohacking conference. It also helped that we are both passionate about helping others heal and thrive at the foundational level -- treating the root cause versus providing the metaphorical band-aid. Where I love to advocate and utilize light, Barton is an expert in and proponent of optimizing mineral levels. He has an intriguing story of how his health journey led him down a path that eventually led him to founding Upgraded Formulas, one of the most trusted companies for mineral supplementation. As we all know, it's an n = 1 game when it comes to personalized health, but I think Barton says it best: "Test, Don't Guess!" Barton is a biochemist, founder, nutritionist, and a researcher. For the last 6 years, Barton has been the founder and process developer behind Upgraded Formulas. Supplements at Upgraded Formulas are absorbed into the body’s cells quickly due to the particle size and proprietary stability mechanisms; they largely bypass digestion for an enhanced improvement in absorption over regular liquids, pills and powders, which means increased effectiveness for you despite smaller doses. Barton is passionate about helping people address the stressors of daily life: poor sleep, hormone issues, low energy, the toxicity of the modern world, the extreme lack of nutrients in our food and soil, and the nutrient absorption issues. Barton is one smart cookie and will broaden your knowledge in one of the most foundational pillars as it pertains to health​: minerals. Listen, learn and enjoy! - Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses with Barton about the following: His health background story and how he came to develop Upgraded Formulas Gatorade, Powerade, and real recovery How he helped a triathlete stay in control during his race Potassium and how only 2% of people get enough a day Rebalancing minerals and how it affected him Achieving an optimal existence The hair test and how it’s accurate for detecting deficiencies How to understand the results of hair tests Global trends in terms of mineral deficiencies Iodine and how Japan consumes way more How minerals affect focus and which are needed for sleep What prevents mineral absorption His 11 day fast to heal some injuries Modafonil Red light therapy and his experience with it Red light therapy and thyroid function - Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/5t45DEmPAkk - Go to his Website: UpgradedFormulas.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/upgradedformulas Instagram: @askbarton @upgradedformulas 15% discount code for listeners: redlight15 - 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 episode of The Red Light Report, we are keeping with the biohacking theme and staying on "the other side of the pond," with the UK's leading biohacker, Tim Gray. Tim has a seemingly typical story of someone that was stricken with health issues, turned to traditional medicine to no avail and, thus, sought out alternative, holistic solutions. But he didn't stop there -- not by a long shot. Because the biohacking scene was vitrually non-existent in London, or the UK altogether for that matter, he took it upon himself to introduce it to his country by putting together a biohacking conference. In a short period of time, the Health Optimisation Summit has become one of the most wildly popular biohacking conferences in the world! In this episode, you get to hear how Tim pulled that off along with other topics, such as biological dentistry, affirmations, nootropics, water, red light therapy and much, much more! Tim Gray, "The UK’s leading Biohacker", is the founder of the Health Optimisation Summit. As a psychology specialist, serial entrepreneur, and successful businessman, Tim founded and invested in multiple 7-figure businesses, including several digital marketing agencies and London’s first private Hyperbaric Oxygen Clinic. After years spent self-healing his body from chronic health conditions through biohacking alone, Tim embarked on a mission to educate and empower the masses. As such, he created The Health Optimisation Summit, Europe’s largest health conference, which aims to provide people with the knowledge, tools, and resources to take their own health and performance to the next level. The summit is a world-first collaboration between the US-based health titans: Bulletproof Biohacking Conference, and PaleoF(x), which showcases the best speakers from the health, biohacking, fitness, longevity, nutrition, and function and preventative medicine spaces. Tim is also the man behind the Biohacker London Meetup group, a growing global community which laid the foundation in the UK for the summit’s success. With his in-depth expertise and knack for curating high-calibre content, Tim successfully draws in the biggest names in the health optimisation arena to speak about the most cutting-edge health-enhancing techniques. Figures such as Dave Asprey, Dr Satchin Panda, Dr Gerald Pollack, Max Lugavere, and Dr. Mercola are just a few of the speakers that Tim continues to work closely with. Tim is passionate about optimising the brain and body to achieve mental clarity, stamina, and longevity, and lists Sleep, Dental & Oral Health, Gut & Digestion, Hydration & Mineral balancing, Nootropics, and Psychedelics as some of his favourite topics to speak about. - Dr. Mike Belkowski & Tim Gray discuss the following: His background, journey into health, and how he founded the biohacking summit His health optimization digital course How everything leads back to nature His biohacking daily routine Finding your identity Mercury teeth fillings and its negative health implications Biological dentistry vs traditional Nootropics and psychedelics Microdosing Modafinil Quinton water Deuterium-depleted water and its potential benefits with keeping the mitochondria unclogged Blue light blockers and when/ how to use them Red light therapy panels and how he uses them How red light therapy heals How we can only see 1% of the world around us - Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/fvIavZtiVG0 - Find him on social media: Instagram: @timbiohacker Facebook: @timbiohacker LinkedIn: Tim Gray Visit his website: Health Optimisation Summit Check out his course: Health Optimisation Digital - 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

Last month in Miami, I had the privilege of speaking to biohacking enthusiasts about red light therapy at Biohacking Congress. It was a fun challenge for me in terms of trying to divulge the red light therapy knowledge I accumulated over the years -- from countless books about light to hundreds of hours of reading the scientific research to attending photobiomodulation courses -- and distill it into a presentation under 40 minutes.Luckily for you, on this week's episode of The Red Light Report, you get to be a fly on the humid, sunny wall of downtown Miami, as I attempt to explain the proverbial nuts and bolts of how and why red light therapy works; and not just that, but how and why it can help with a seemingly endless list of health and wellness conditions. Does it get a little science-y? Yes, a little. But not enough to scare you off to another episode. Yet enough for you to truly grasp what red and near-infrared light does to you at the physiological level, as that is where the rubber meets the road in understanding why red light therapy is becoming wildly popular in the health, wellness, longevity and biohacking worlds. In the first half of my presentation, I go over keep concepts such as: mitochondria, bioenergetics, mitochondrial dysfunction, sunlight, mal-illumination, cytochrome c oxidase, electron transport chain, mitochondrial theory of aging and redox potential. In the second half of my talk, I go over a variety of photobiomodulation research articles to demonstrate and impress upon people the many ways in which red light therapy can heal and optimize one's health. My hope is that you come away from this episode with an enhanced understanding and respect for red light therapy and its limitless potential we are just now beginning to tap into. Please enjoy! - At Biohacking Congress in Miami, Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following: His background, education, and approach to private practice The potential of red light therapy to heal The mitochondria and its role in energy production and disease How we’ve been focusing on the nuclear genome and not the mitochondrial How aging is just mitochondrial dysfunction Light and sun exposure Malillumination and its negative consequences to lifespan Infrared saunas vs red light therapy The Electron Transport Chain How extra free radicals speeds up aging Redox potential Red light therapy research and benefits for eye, gut, and oral health Red light therapy for pain Red light therapy and exercise pre conditioning Skin health Sleep & circadian rhythm Thyroid health Things you can stack with red light therapy - Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/1iG2RbR7WD8 - 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

Sometimes you just need to recalibrate and get back to the basics; work on the fundamentals of health versus looking for the newest, coolest thing out there. There is a time and place for utilizing new adjuvants and pieces of technology to help optimize your well-being, but what is the point of adding more if your foundation isn't solid and resilient to begin with? That is what I admire about today's guest from Finland, Dr. Olli Sovijärvi. As someone who is deeply entrenched in the biohacking and technology world, he still advocates for - and instills in his daily routine - the (free) fundamentals of health, which almost all go back to nature or within one's self. On this week's episode of The Red Light Report, Dr. Sovijärvi discusses how anyone can become mentally and physically resilient, seasonal HRV, why he believes everyone should be implementing red light therapy into their health regimen and much more! Dr. Olli Sovijärvi is one of the pioneers of holistic medicine in Finland. At the beginning of his career, Dr. Sovijärvi worked as a medical duty officer at the Finnish Red Cross Blood Service. In 2006 he graduated from the University of Helsinki with a Licentiate degree in Medicine and became self-employed in 2008. In 2010–2011, Dr. Sovijärvi completed an Integral Theory degree at John F. Kennedy University, focusing on psychology and philosophy. For the first five years of his career as a physician, Dr Sovijärvi was employed by Finland’s first medical recruitment agency. The job description involved scheduled patient care as well as emergency care and being on call. He has worked at nearly 50 different clinics around Finland. His numerous media appearances, social media articles, and Finland’s first health podcast have expanded the general public’s awareness of what healthcare can be. Dr. Sovijärvi has also acted as a consultant to various companies and service providers operating in the fields of wellness and health technology. Between 2013–18, Dr. Sovijärvi practiced medicine at a private clinic that specializes in nutrition and holistic health care. The clinic employs physicians and nurses practicing holistic medicine.

When you're talking about energy and how it affects your emotions, it helps when you're listening and learning from someone that has a wealth of positive vibrations himself. And today's guest on The Red Light Report, Dr. Christopher Motley, has those vibrations in spades. Dr. Motley appreciates the art and science of both eastern and western medicine. To say that one form of medicine is better than the other can only create tension and disharmony. He believes sickness comes from tension and disharmony. Alignment, ease, and detachment create a space for healing. When all forms of healthcare can fall into alignment, in their proper place, the greatest healing for a patient can occur. A practitioner that believes he or she has the only answer to one person's health only creates unhealthy attachments and disharmony. Dr. Motley believes a healthcare practitioner should desire a space for healing as much as they want it for their patient.Like myself, Dr. Motley started his practice in a "hole in the wall" location, yet he was able to build up his clientele and establish himself as a healing expert with his alternative, holistic treatment techniques that includes Chinese medicine, frequency healing, acupuncture and red light therapy. We got into detail about he early health scares; how and why he decided to forge his unique path as a professional in the healthcare field; his unique and efficacious treatment techniques; his thoughts on energy, resonance, emotions, acupuncture/dry needling and so much more... Dr. Motley is an absolute joy to listen and learn from. I know you will enjoy this episode! - Dr. Mike Belkowski talks with Dr. Christopher Motley about the following: Frequency therapy Healing with frequencies of light His history and how he got into clinical kinesiology, health scares he’s had, and how he has built up his practice How frequency medicine with sound and light has an effect on your body The difference between dry needling and acupuncture How dry needling is superior to acupuncture for reducing pain The nervous system and how needles interact with our body’s electricity Energy, resonance, and how your emotions are effected by the electromagnetic spectrum Chinese medicine and how the liver is associated with anger How every organ has a different emotion How your emotions can change your biochemistry 5G and its correlation to your body’s energy Red light therapy and his experience with it - Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/H9C_Kbjx7yQ - Find him on social media: Instagram @Doctormotley Facebook @Doctormotley Go to his website: doctormotley.com - 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

Did you know that the oral cavity has the second largest and most diverse microbiota after the gut, harboring over 700 species of bacteria? The progression of health or regression toward disease is critically influenced by the microbiota. In addition to being the initiation point of digestion, the oral microbiome is crucial in maintaining both oral and systemic health. The oral microbiome rests within biofilms throughout the oral cavity and forms an ecosystem that maintains health in a state of homeostasis. However, particular imbalances in this state of equilibrium allow pathogens to develop and cause disease. This disruption of the oral microbiome leads to dysbiosis, which is an imbalance in the microbial community that is associated with a myriad of diseases -- most of which show up in various organs and systems throughout our entire body!In this episode, you will be learning about the multitude of negative downstream health effects of a dysbiotic oral cavity and why more of your health and wellness begins in your mouth than you may have previously thought. We will also go through the photobiomodulation research on oral health, where you will see that there are countless ways that red light therapy can help optimize your oral hygiene and oral "vigor." Lastly, you will hear about the newest piece of red light therapy technology that was developed specifically for the mouth and oral health. - Dr. Mike Belkowski talks about the following: An innovative way to use red light therapy for oral health How the oral biome impacts a multitude of health systems How connected your oral health is to gut health 70% or more of the immune system is located in the gut; however, immunity begins in the mouth Cardiovascular health A link between bacteria that causes both gum disease and Alzheimer's in the brain The direct correlation between poor dental health, tooth pain, bleeding gums, and anxiety/ depression The endocrine system Obesity and its link to the oral microbiome Nitric oxide production, how it supports the body’s natural repair processes, and how red light therapy helps with it Diets that support the gut microbiome More electrons = less inflammation; ways to get free electrons Factors that affect the oral microbiome such as how you were born Photobiomodulation research as it relates to oral health (see works cited below) How the power of light reduces pain, improves quality of life, and improves functionality Low level laser therapy (LLLT) and how it is an effective treatment for canker sores, oral health, and more The Guardian - BioLight’s newest red light therapy product that improves oral health - The Guardian is the first red light therapy oral care device of its kind, with patent-pending technology that implements dual LEDs, giving you the healing power from both red and near-infrared (NIR) light! - To learn even more about how you can improve your health via your oral microbiome, check out The Dental Diet, by Dr. Steven Lin or Heal Your Oral Microbiome, by Cass Nelson-Dooley. - Pre-order The Guardian here! - Listen to the Dr. Kelly Blodgett episode on oral health here - Works Cited Cronshaw, Mark et al. “Photobiomodulation and Oral Mucositis: A Systematic Review.” Dentistry journal vol. 8,3 87. 5 Aug. 2020, doi:10.3390/dj8030087 Uslu MÖ, Akgül S.

This week's guest on The Red Light Report is an absolute wealth of knowledge when it comes to holistic health and wellness and, on top of that, is an absolute positive, kindhearted human being.​Dr. Tyler Jean is ultimately passionate about educating others on the importance of food as medicine while inspiring them to embrace healthier lifestyles. He is a former Division I swimmer and a recovering perfectionist. Dr. Jean received his B.S. in Cell and Molecular Biology and just graduated (this past week -- congrats!) from his medical schooling and is now a Naturopathic Doctor. Dr. Jean embarked on his medical journey after becoming frustrated with the medical system and having his own share of health issues, including generalized anxiety, asthma, eczema, and ADHD. He found a lot of healing in food, so he originally started his Instagram account as a vegan recipe page during his 18-month journey as a vegan foodie. However, through trial and error he learned that the catabolic nature of a strict vegan diet ultimately became incompatible with his body and left him depleted and cachectic. After spending several years in both laboratory (neuroscience) and clinical research (type I diabetes), he decided to pursue a career in clinical care — one that took an integrative, holistic, and preventative approach to medicine. ​​Now freshly graduated, he gets to apply his experiences, knowledge and expertise to his patients in a clinical setting. Needless to say, patients that are lucky enough to be under the care of Dr. Jean are in profoundly compassionate and healing hands. - Dr. Mike Belkowski & Dr. Tyler Jean discuss the following: His passion for educating others on the importance of food as medicine while inspiring them to embrace healthy lifestyles How we can prevent disease through specific lifestyle changes His experience with schooling and why he chose the allopathic model His experience being in medical school during the pandemic How much he learned about light in med school and its impact on health His methods of assessing root causes of problems The pillars of health we should focus on Community, its importance and impact on our health, and how to better implement it in our lives Optimizing your sleep, sleep environment, and circadian rhythm Anecdotal experience of using red light therapy for patients and whether it stimulates or sedates them Melatonin, the “melatonin hangover”, and his opinion on supplementing it Structured water and how he makes his own How you can structure your water via red and near-infrared light How he initially learned about red light therapy Photobiomodulation research that stands out to him the most Testosterone and how red light therapy boosted his levels What happens on the cellular level with red light therapy to boost testosterone His upcoming 10-week course on Integrated and Holistic Nutrition Things you can implement today to optimize your health, wellness, and longevity - Watch the YouTube video of this episode here: https://youtu.be/p8EIMJUUV5E - Find out more about him here: tylerjean.com Instagram: @functional.foods - Don't forget to check out these health-related recommendations from previous podcast guests! - 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
