94: Can Red Light Regrow Hair? I Tested It on Myself


Listen Later

Is red light therapy the real deal for hair loss... or just another overhyped trend?


In this episode, I share my personal experience testing red light therapy on my own scalp — what worked, what didn’t, and what I wish I knew before starting.


I break down the science behind how red light (a.k.a. photobiomodulation) stimulates hair follicles, what the research actually says, and how to use it safely and effectively at home.


If you're struggling with hair loss from Hashimoto's, stress, hormones, or aging — this video is for you.
