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.
Elias is the CEO of Business Brain, a strategic consulting firm that serves brands in the health, fitness, and biotech industries. As the Executive Producer of Bioscience LA TV, he is working to connect the ecosystem of bioscience companies in LA county and beyond. Elias is also a sought-after educator/speaker on wearable technology, biometric science and wellness optimization; as well as the former Senior Vice President of Biostrap. He has been featured in LA Magazine, NBC’s California Live, LA Business Journal, and multiple podcasts.
Get ready for Elias to enlighten you about the world of biohacking and help you become a more critical consumer. Enjoy!

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!"

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.

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. The clinic features the only trace-element laboratory in Finland.
At present, Dr. Sovijärvi focuses primarily on the production of scientific content for preventive healthcare and wellbeing. He also runs training sessions and presentations on the topics of biohacking, performance optimization, nutritional issues, and maintaining the intestinal balance. In his free time he enjoys athletics, playing with his child, music, and good humor.
