Get ready, because this episode literally covers EVERYTHING you need to know about Red Light Therapy, AKA photo biomodulation. With all the marketing tactics and an overabundance of voices out there, I asked the trusted founder and owner of GembaRed, Andrew LaTour, to educate us all and help set the record straight.

Some of what's covered:

  • The basics of RLT (photo biomodulation)
  • Different wavelengths of light and why red is important
  • Near infrared, far infrared, and red differences
  • How RLT affects our mitochondrial/cellular health
  • Studied benefits of RLT (inflammation, pain, recovery, skin, neuro-protective, etc.)
  • Using RLT for acute and chronic concerns
  • RLT and EMF concerns
  • How to determine the appropriate dose for your body and goals
  • Can we overdo using RLT?
  • Are devices supposed to give off heat?
  • How far away should we be from our devices?
  • Targeted versus whole body usage
  • Do we need to wear protective glasses?
  • Are there contraindications or parts of the body we should avoid?
  • Can we use for wounds, post-surgery, with/without medications?
  • How should we approach using RLT for skin health?
  • Why so many issues with honesty in the RLT industry?
  • How is informed consent being compromised?
  • Does price of devices indicate quality?
