Research: Photobiomodulation Prior to Radiotherapy & Full-Body Red Light Therapy For Augmented Sleep/Recovery

42 minutes

Another solosode of The Red Light Report means another episode of exciting photobiomodulation research: the first article explores at how pre-conditioning cancer cells with red light affects the subsequent radiation treatment; the second article investigates elite athletes and how their sleep and recovery responds to full-body red light therapy.

Within these two articles, we continue to learn about novel ways that red light therapy can be integrated to positively impact health. This includes innovative ways to pre-condition our body with this healing light to reduce the amount of radiation necessary along with newfound results that full-body RLT may reduce the total time of sleep (but not sleep quality), meaning that it may actually improve the efficiency of your body (i.e., glymphatic system) to restore and recover your body while you are asleep. All very fascinating!

I continue to be impressed and excited by this research on a weekly basis and am delighted that I get to share it with you all. Be sure to light up your holidays and, as always, light up your health!
