The Red Light Report

Mastering the Biology of Resilience, Immunity & Longevity w/ Dr. Olli Sovijärvi


Listen Later

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.
