Illuminating Health: The Power and Promise of Red Light Therapy
In This episode of Health and Biohacking podcast we discuss red light therapy, this increasingly popular topic, explaining its potential to optimize health, extend longevity, and improve quality of life.
I described how Red Light Therapy works by exposing the skin to low wavelengths of red or near-infrared light, which penetrate the skin and stimulate cellular repair and energy production. Originally researched by NASA in the 1990s for wound healing in space, RLT has since been studied for various health benefits, including improved collagen production and wrinkle reduction.
I delved into the science behind RLT, discussing how it stimulates mitochondria to enhance ATP production, which is crucial for cellular energy. I cited Dr. Michael Hamblin's research on how RLT modulates oxidative stress, reducing inflammation and accelerating healing. A 2017 meta-analysis was mentioned, showing RLT's effectiveness in reducing muscle fatigue and soreness after exercise. I highlighted the diverse applications of RLT, including skin health, muscle recovery, pain relief, hair growth stimulation, and sleep improvement, noting its use in infrared saunas, gym beds, and handheld devices.
In the episode, I shared safety tips and usage guidelines, recommending starting with 10 to 15-minute sessions, two to three times a week, and avoiding direct eye contact with the light. I emphasized the importance of consulting healthcare providers for those with medical conditions and mentioned that RLT is generally safe with appropriate dosing. I also shared my personal experience with RLT, describing it as a staple in my routine for muscle recovery. The episode concluded with an encouragement for listeners to explore RLT further, either through natural sunlight or by purchasing devices suited to their needs.
