In our conversation today, Chris details the mechanisms of how C60 works to improve mitochondrial function (most notably, the B.O.S.S. Theory) and why it could be a key molecule to help humans extend lifespan beyond our current expectations. He also outlines the unfortunate state of the C60 supplement space and how most supplements have a much lower concentration than they claim and that some even have ZERO C60 in their product at all! This is why he has trademarked the term ESS60, which delineates an ultra high purity C60 that is specifically made for human consumption; meaning, if you are purchasing a C60 supplement, then "ESS60" must be in the ingredients list. Otherwise, you can assume it is a subpar product.
Chris covers other interesting topics, such as how C60 is produced, his perspective on longevity and how long he believes he can live and whether or not immortality is possible, testimonials around ESS60, the upper limit for ESS60 consumption and much more!
If you found the information in today's episode with Chris particularly interesting and/or compelling, please share it with a family member, friend, colleague and/or anyone that you think could benefit and be illuminated by this knowledge. Sharing is caring :)

As we learned from last week's episode, taurine has the following research-backed mitochondrial benefits:
- decreases mitochondrial-mediated reactive oxygen species formation
- reduces inflammation and oxidative stress
- enhances the mitochondrial membrane potential
- improves mitochondrial respiratory efficiency
- improves mitochondrial energy metabolism
- lessens mitochondrial permeabilization
- mitigates the release of cell death mediators
- helps sequester excess cytoplasmic calcium
In today's episode, we will review the following topics on taurine and the mitochondria from the aforementioned text book: the cardiovascular system, liver disease, taurine as an anti-aging compound, musculoskeletal disorders, the renal system, the digestive system, the reproductive system and the role of taurine for obesity and improving the quality of adipose tissue.

If you're like me, taurine may have a knee-jerk negative connotation due to its association with energy drinks. But if that's the case, I politely ask you to table that association as we head into this episode. The more I have learned about this mysteriously overlooked amino acid, and its science-backed efficacy for improving mitochondrial function in a myriad of way, the more I have gotten excited to report this information to you. Taurine is the real deal!
In this episode, I will be providing "knowledge snacks" from a textbook I recently read, "Taurine and the Mitochondrion: Applications in the Pharmacotherapy of Human Diseases." The chapters and information covered in part one include the synthesis, dietary sources, and mechanisms of action of taurine; taurine and the mitochondrion; and applications of taurine in the central nervous system disorders linked with mitochondrial impairment. Subsequent parts of this series will cover other diseases and body systems impacted by mitochondrial dysfunction and how taurine may play a pivotal role in mitigating, preventing and/or reversing aforementioned conditions.
If you found the information in today's episode particularly interesting and/or compelling, please share it with a family member, friend, colleague and/or anyone that you think could benefit and be illuminated by this knowledge. Sharing is caring :)

As we know from our past episodes with biological dentists (shoutout to Dr. Kelly Blodgett and Dr. Dominik Nischwitz), the impact of your oral health is not relegated to just your oral cavity — it literally impacts every system and every organ in your body. Optimizing your oral health may be the easiest and most effective way to improve your systemic health!
I will also be officially introducing BioLight newest (and potentially most impactful) product to date: the Illume sonic toothbrush! The Illume incorporates red and blue LEDs that allows you to irradiate your teeth, gums and other oral tissues. There are many research-backed benefits of red and blue light for oral health: anti-inflammatory, pro-circulatory, mitochondrial-boosting, anti-bacterial/anti-microbial (i.e. improving oral microbiome), enamel erosion-mitigating, biofilm- and bad breath-reducing and much more!
If you found the information in today's episode particularly interesting and/or compelling, please share it with a family member, friend, colleague and/or anyone that you think could benefit and be illuminated by this knowledge. Sharing is caring :)
As always, light up your health!

Part of the education process of learning about this new protocol ecosystem is about the profound importance of utilizing a third party tested RLT device. I cannot underscore the importance of this, which is why I emphasize it in the eBook in this section of the eBook. There is no way of getting around the significance of using a third party tested device, as one of the two main variables required to produce an effective protocol is light irradiance. Without third party testing, your device likely has an over-inflated light irradiance that will inherently throw off the accuracy of your protocol.
During the latter part of this episode, we will begin diving into the various health conditions that have been scientifically been proven to be ameliorated via RLT. For each health and wellness condition, we will cover the mechanism(s) of action of how RLT can help improve a given condition and then, secondly, go over snippets of research that demonstrate the benefits of photobiomodulation for a given condition. In today's episode, we will cover the Anxiety, Stress and Depression section.
