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.
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

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.
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:

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...

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).
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!

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.
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!

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...
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!

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?
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

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).
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!
