The eBook is broken up into a couple of different sections: the first section is comprised of important concepts that everyone should know to help them better understand and harness red light therapy; the second (and much larger) section consists of almost a couple dozen health conditions, where each condition has explanations of how red light therapy can help it, synopses from the most current and strongest research and then, of course, the specific treatment protocol that is completely based off the research.
In this solosode, we will be covering the Important Concepts section, which covers red light vs. near-infrared light, mitochondria, the biphasic dose response, hormesis and dosing. Subsequent solosodes will go over the various sections of health conditions, which will hopefully provide you with an all-encompassing perspective of the amazing potential that red light therapy possesses.

I know The Red Light Report isn't necessarily about highlighting nutrition, as there's thousands of those podcasts already. However, I did want to acknowledge National Vitamin C Day that occurred this week, so I take a quick dive into the history and benefits of one of the most popular vitamins in the world. Needless to say, you should be getting your daily vitamin C one way or another.
Of course, I want to bring you the newest, cutting-edge photobiomodulation research available, so in this episode I will be highlighting three different articles. The first one, which I cover most in-depth, is about red light therapy (RLT) and how it can benefit the healing of tendons. Virtually 100% people on earth cross paths with a tendon injury at one point or another, with a high percentage eventually succumbing to chronic tendon injury/pain. So everyone will want to hear what this article has to say about RLT's benefits for tendon injuries.
The subsequent two articles are so hot off the press that I could only get my hands on the abstracts. But regardless, the information and the results on what RLT can do to benefit Bell's palsy and temporomandibular joint disorder (i.e, jaw pain) is quite impressive — further uncovering more and more ways you can utilize red light therapy to your advantage.

On this week's solosode of The Red Light Report, I deliver a variety pack of information. One of the fun topics I randomly cover is about possibly my favorite non-negotiable adjuvant I take daily: astaxanthin. Ironically, the endless list of powerful benefits from this substance are secondary to sunlight exposure that stresses the algae, developing an orange goop — that goop is astaxanthin. So you could say the benefits derived from astaxanthin are thanks to the light from the sun!
I also review the history of light therapy and the interesting ride it has been on over the centuries: from The Golden Age to the Era of Darkness to the New Age of Light. The pendulum has swung both ways and, luckily for us, it is swinging back to the side of evolution, utility and appreciation for the healing benefits of light therapy. This is why we have seen such a surge in photobiomodulation, namely red light therapy.
Lastly, I cover the negative impact of light flicker, as it relates to our health. Decades and decades ago, it was thought that if light manufacturers increased the flicker rate so that it wasn't perceptible to the naked eye it wouldn't have a negative impact on our biology. However, we have learned that there can be insidious (or obvious) consequences of "invisible" light flicker, such as headaches/migraines, eye strain, decreased concentration and energy, mood and behavioral disorders and more. That is exactly why I made sure all BioLight panels have the lowest light flicker possible — the first red light therapy company to take that variable into consideration.

One of my favorite aspects of red light therapy is the benefits it has on oral health. The photobiomodulation research in this area is exhaustive, demonstrating countless ways that RLT can impact oral health — from infections to gum health to enamel erosion to orthodontic surgery to pain and more! On this week's solosode of The Red Light Report, I will review the many benefits of RLT as it relates to oral health, but then I will take a dive into the health and aesthetic benefits of blue light therapy for oral health and teeth.
Blue light therapy is notorious for whitening teeth, especially when combined with hydrogen peroxide or carbomide peroxide gel; I will discuss which peroxide is superior for whitening teeth most efficiently. Not only that, blue light is equally effective at selectively killing harmful bacteria while leaving beneficial bacteria alive and thriving, which leads to an optimized oral microbiome.
Towards the end of the episode, I may or may not have an exciting announcement about a new BioLight product that is about to be released... So listen to the entire episode to find out what it is!

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

It's time to dig back into the photobiomodulation research The Red Light Report! On this solosode, I will cover three new, unique scientific studies that investigate the ways that red light therapy can help with heart health, post-concussion symptoms and modifying the gut microbiome for positive health and wellness benefits! Not only that, but I will reveal how red light therapy virtually saved my dog from needing stitches, significantly accelerating the healing and recovery process from a massive cut that left him with a split lip.
We all know that the heart is one of the most mitochondrial-dense tissues in the body, yet oddly enough, there is a dearth of photobiomodulation research in this area. Listen and learn how red light therapy is able to ameliorate symptoms and side effects from heart failure.
One of the biggest areas on the rise in red light therapy research is transcranial photobiomodulation for neurodegenerative diseases and all types of brain injuries, including concussions. Listen and learn how a professional hockey player incorporated red light therapy into his post-concussion multimodal treatment approach.
Lastly, the gut has been receiving a lot of attention in the research as well -- both on how red light therapy can directly improve the gut microbiome and also how brain health can be altered via the gut-brain axis with RLT to the gut. Listen and learn to what the newest research is showing on RLT improving gut health and the gut microbiome.

"Electrons! Electrons! Come get your electrons!" I love when I cross paths with someone that likes to nerd out on mitochondrial health, but especially from the quantum point of view! On this week's episode of The Red Light Report, I was lucky enough to sit down with the brilliant Carrie Bennett, who knows her quantum health inside and out. Not only that, but Carrie is able to take these complex topics and simplify them so anyone and everyone can understand. As you can see from the episode description below, we cover a smorgasbord of quantum health topics, especially how health is impacted by light, water and magnetism.
Even though it can be intimidating, it behooves everyone to take a dive deep into health from a quantum perspective. This is truly where the root causes of disease are buried -- deep down at the subatomic level. But as Carrie acknowledges, even though the topics can get a little complex, the solutions are extremely straightforward. And who doesn't like simple, actionable strategies for optimizing wellness and bolstering one's healthspan?

Believe it or not, it has almost been one year since I began The Red Light Report! And I want to thank each and every one of you that has tuned in for any of the episodes and supported me along the way. I am grateful that I have been able to provide you all with impactful information on light, especially red light therapy, and how you can best utilize it to your health's advantage. This is just the beginning...
Speaking of the beginning — I wanted to revisit a couple of my very first solosodes on this podcast, specifically on the mitochondria, and continue to build on the foundational information that I've talked about so far in 2022 (i.e., energetic portion of the eye with Dr. Fritz Hollwich & the health benefits of UV light with Dr. Jacob Liberman).
Most people haven't listened to these two episodes (and if you have it will be a fabulous review), which contains some of profound information as it pertains to the mitochondria "rubber meeting the (red light therapy) road."
In essence, red light therapy works because of its ability to positively impact the mitochondria. So it's imperative to know how and why the mitochondria are import to our health and longevity, as that largely explains why red light therapy is such an amazing healing tool.

Pt. 1
This important episode covers why the mitochondria is vital for our health, wellness, and longevity. If you're into the science and how things work, Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses three of the most important names in the world of the mitochondria: Dr. Doug Wallace, Dr. Jack Kruse, and Dr. Gerald Pollack.
Pt. 2
Dr. Mike Belkowski covers the fundamentals of the life of the mitochondria, the electron transport chain, how they kill themselves off, and how to best optimize your mitochondria.

As a kid, we were all told to put on our sunglasses, slather on that sunscreen and if all else fails, cover up with our hats, clothes, scarves, trench coats.... you get the point. It was drilled into us at a young age, that if you were going outside and to be exposed to the sunlight, you had to take precautions so the big bad sun didn't get you.
Hindsight is 20/20, but how much nutrition via light did we deprive our biology from? How much better off would our health and wellness be today if we hadn't drank the kool-aid and become over-protective against the sun?
Bear in mind, I am not saying that we all need to go outside and get sunburns. That is a real negative consequence to excessive UV exposure and can certainly instigate skin cancer. However, we have removed ourselves so far from nature that we have actually caused many of our own problems via mal-illumination. Between blocking UV light into our eyes with fancy sunglasses and UV radiation to our skin via sunscreen and clothing, multitudinous physiological benefits are being swept under the rug -- physiological benefits that have been built over ions by way of evolution.
This solosode is largely thanks to Dr. Jacob Liberman and his book published in 1991, Light: The Medicine of the Future. The information in that books is as relevant and profound today as it was 30 years ago. I will cover one particular chapter from that book — UV or Not UV: That is the Question.
