February 08, 2024Red Light Therapy for Cancer, Understanding Mitochondrial Health & Taking Responsibility For Your Health w/ Mito
You just never know who might cross your path in life and when you'll meet someone that you instantly resonate with. Today's guest, who goes by the name of Mito, reached out to me recently to talk about red light therapy and mitochondrial health. After having a couple of intriguing phone calls with him (both of which I wish were recorded as episodes themselves) I knew I needed to get him on the podcast to talk some shop.

What I find compelling about Mito is that he not only speaks from a place of great knowledge, based on his countless hours of personal research into various topics, but he also expounds from a place of experience. It's great when you can regurgitate what a book says or a piece of research, but being able to come from a place of grounded knowledge via direct experiences is priceless.

During our conversation, Mito discusses a multitude of topics ranging from how he holistically saved his daughter from cancer to various red light therapy anecdotes to mitochondrial health tactics to why he's been taking methylene blue for quite some time to passionately advocating for everyone to be curious and learn and become your own best doctor and much more!

I hope you enjoy the conversation today with Mito. Please share this episode with family, friends and colleagues if you find the content especially interesting and/or impactful.

As always, learn lots and light up your health!

February 01, 2024Red Light Therapy Anecdotes & Leucomethylene Blue
Ever curious about what results people in the "real world" are achieving with red light therapy? Well this past week on BioLight's Instagram page, we had a feed post to elicit some responses and, oh boy, did it ever. So much that I felt compelled to highlight some of the comments left by people to showcase the variety of ways people are successfully utilizing red light therapy to benefit their health and wellness. From vision to numerous skin health benefits to excelling in exercise/lifting to improving children's sleep and more!

The proverbial meat and potatoes of this episode is introducing and learning about methylene blue's reduced version, leucomethylene blue. This is what your body intrinsicly processes methylene blue into that is ingested, but there are some major advantages to taking leucomethylene blue. It's almost instantly bioavailable (as your body does not have to break it down, as it does with MB), the antioxidant effect is nearly immediate (for the same reason) and it has even less toxins than MB (since reducing the MB to leucoMB further removes any metals, toxins. etc; but keep in mind that pharmaceutical grade MB is already very pure. This is only to say the leucoMB is inherently more pure because of it being further reduced and, thus further purified).

The above advantages have led to the following personal anecdotal responses since I started using leucomethylene blue: a more rapid cognitive/focus boost and enhanced exercise performance (I have found leucoMB to function essentially as a pre-workout, but without all the junk and jitters. Just clean energy!).

After being introduced to leucoMB, I then cover a couple of studies that demonstrate its massive efficacy, particularly as it relates to neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's Disease. We already know that most of the methylene blue ingested ends up in the brain — which is no different for leucoMB — but it appears that leucoMB may have a more pronounced effect. I have no doubt that as time goes on, we'll more more and more about the advantages of methylene blue and leucomethylene blue.

Lastly, I announce the release of BioLight's newest supplement: BioBlue Leuco. At the time of this solosode release, this product will be released within the next 24 hours, so stay tuned for more updates!

I hope you enjoy the information in today's solosode. Please share this episode with family, friends and colleagues if you find the content especially interesting and/or impactful.

As always, light up your health!

January 25, 2024Infrared Sauna Protocol; Pretreatment w/ Methylene Blue; Impact of Gut Dysbiosis & Mitochondrial Dysfunction on Long COVID
Huzzah! Another week, another solosode and more research to delve into and learn from. Just what the doctor ordered...

But before we cover research, I thought it would be worth our while to learn from the Finnish biohacking experts — one of which is previous TRLR guest, Dr. Olli Sovijärvi — in their massive tome, Biohacker's Handbook. Specifically, I thought it would be great provide you with some strategies and tactics for your sauna sessions via a sauna protocol they provide in the book. It's a protocol I've used myself over the years and works wonders for detoxing.

On the research side of things, we first dive into an interesting study that looks at pretreatment with methylene blue in neonatals to reduce toxin-induced brain and cognitive deficits. While it may not seem like the most relatable topic, there are a lot of great take away points from the article that I discuss.

The second article thoroughly addresses how the combination of our gut microbiome and dybiosis along with dysfunctional mitochondria and suppressed NAD+ levels set the stage for the dreaded milieu of chronic symptoms associated with Long COVID. While they don't provide solutions for the issues they highlight, it's safe to say that both red light therapy and methylene blue have a major role to play with the road to recovery from Long COVID, based on the root causes outlined in the article.

I hope you enjoy the information in today's solosode. Please share this episode with family, friends and colleagues if you find the content especially interesting and/or impactful.

January 18, 2024Health & Longevity Benefits of Sauna, Infrared Sauna vs. Red Light Therapy & Photobiomodulation For Premyopia
One of the more common questions I get asked, as it relates to red light therapy, is how is it different than infrared saunas? Do they elicit the same health benefits? Which one is "better"? If I had to choose one, which modality should I use? Understandably, the major hangup and confusion comes from both technologies integrating infrared light... granted of different flavors of infrared and, thus, different physiological responses.

We cover the basics of what infrared saunas are, the difference between traditional vs. infrared saunas, discuss the top 10 benefits derived from consistent hyperthermia treatment and more. Possibly, most importantly, I delineate the differences between infrared saunas and red light therapy and emphasize the importance of not doing red light therapy and sauna simultaneously! This is especially important to understand and appreciate, as I have seen more and more often that infrared sauna companies are incorporating red light therapy (either for ambience lighting and/or actual red light therapy panels and other devices inside of the sauna). Long story short: the heat from the sauna inhibits the benefits you would otherwise obtain from red light therapy.

Lastly, we will cover a very, very hot-off-the-press photobiomodulation research article that looks at red light therapy for treating children with premyopia. In a world with exponentially increased screen time, particularly in youths, any type of alternative modality to help prevent, stave off and reverse eye and vision issues is a massive deal. If you have eyes, this study has some groundbreaking results that you will want to learn about.

I hope you enjoy the information in today's solosode. Please share this episode with family, friends and colleagues if you find the content especially interesting and/or impactful.

As always, light up (and sweat out) your health!

January 11, 2024Research: Concussions, Plantar Fasciitis, Primary Mitochondrial Diseases, & Methylene Blue & Toluidine Blue Combats Cancer
This week we are going to dig into some interesting research I've been compiling the last several months (and I have plenty more where this came from!). We will cover an array of our favorite topics in red light therapy, mitochondria and methylene blue.

We will first look at a piece of research that discusses primary mitochondrial diseases (PMDs); however, the article is directed towards physicians and how they can start to recognize patterns and red flags associated with various PMDs (i.e., mitochondrial dysfunction). To me this is extremely exciting in the sense that this type of mitochondrial information is (slowly but surely) permeating its way into the allopathic world. It can't happen fast enough!

The second article looks at methylene blue and a new, yet quite similar synthetic dye salt, blue compound called toluidine blue. The study looks at how when used together, they have a synergistic effect against oral squamous cell carcinoma. I need to know more about toluidine blue!

The third article looks at the effect of transcranial photobiomodulation on concussions. This study is a perfect example of a "non-result" not necessarily being a bad thing or that is should be taken at face value. I will discuss why.

The last, and likely most relevant, study I review is on red light therapy's impact on reducing pain and improving function with plantar fasciitis (PF). I've personally never dealt with PF, but I have treated it countless times as a physical therapist and know many other people that have dealt with it -- long story short, it is not fun in the slightest and is incredibly easy for it to become a chronic and/or recurring issue. Red light therapy certainly has a role to play with PF. And, based on my experience, cupping may be one of the BEST modalities in the fight against PF. Did anyone say ReVamp cupping system for combined red light therapy and cupping?

As always, enjoy the information and light up your health!

January 04, 2024Health & Wellness Benefits of Cupping: From Supple Fascia to Anti-aging Skin & Beyond!
It seems that (rather unintentionally) at the beginning of each year, I begin with some episodes on some interesting and novel topics. Two years ago it was reviewing a book on extensive and profound research from the late 1800s to mid-1900s on how light entering our eyes affects virtually every system in our body. Last year, we took a deep dive into the world of grounding (aka, earthing) and its many wonderful and electron-rich benefits. To begin this year, I want to introduce you all into the world of cupping.

Some of you are likely familiar with cupping and may even be using it on yourself and/or clients/patients. Personally, I found it to be an indispensable tool with my patients and on myself, particularly in combination with dry needling and red light therapy. But it seems that it is still a highly underutilized tool, both by practitioners and the public alike. Perhaps some of that comes from its heavily holistic background that may give it an aura of being mystical. Others may think that it's a therapy you need to be certified in and/or heavily educated in. But I am hear to tell you that it is exceptionally similar to red light therapy in that it is extremely safe and a "very low risk, high reward" modality.

In this episode, we will cover all aspects of cupping -- from its history to how it became popular to what it can help with to how it can be used and even how combining it with red light therapy may give you the best of both worlds. Any and all athletes/exercise enthusiasts MUST be including this in their performance and recovery regimen and, equally importantly, anyone and everyone can attain profound health and wellness benefits by cupping on a regular basis.

Listen to the end to hear about BioLight's newest product and how it seamlessly combines the advantages of the negative pressure vacuum mechanism of cupping and the mitochondrial-boosting properties of red light therapy into one simple and sleek modality. It's simply a game changer for athletes and health enthusiasts alike!

As always, light up (and, now, cup) your health!

December 31, 2023Top 10 Benefits of Methylene Blue [Top Episode of 2023!]
As we visit the third and final "Top Episode of 2023", we will turn our attention to our relatively new best red light therapy friend: methylene blue! For those of you that have already heard this episode and/or are familiar with this polarizing substance, this episode is a fantastic review; for those of you that are less familiar, this is a great introduction into the vast potential of methylene blue....

Let's get blue on today's solosode of The Red Light Report! The last couple of weeks you have likely heard and/or learned about BioLight's newest innovative product, BioBlue, which is an enhanced methylene blue and mitochondrial supplement. Some of you are even using it right now! But I felt it would behoove all of us to take a deeper dive into this mysterious synthetic textile dye that happens to seemingly be one of the most profound health, wellness and mitochondrial-boosting substances available. And it is a major synergist when combined with red light therapy!

So today, I thought it would be great to review the top 10 uses for methylene blue, as professed by scientific research. And while I don't want to give away too much in this intro, I feel obliged to tell you a few of the things that I find most exciting and promising about methylene blue:

1.) Secondary to its ease of crossing the blood-brain barrier, a vast majority of the methylene blue consumed concentrates in the brain, which is why it has virtually endless brain health benefits (i.e., reduced symptoms of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, dementia, depression, PTSD and improved cognition, mood and energy);

2.) Methylene blue has an innate intelligence to help whichever cells are most sick, diseased and/or cancerous first before moving along and helping other healthier cells;

3.) There are only two known interventions capable dissociating nitric oxide from the cytochrome c oxidase (which then allows oxygen into the mitochondria for more efficient energy production; remember, the more energy in a cell = less disease state/more vitality in cell): red light therapy and methylene blue.

Remember, none of this information is a substitute for medical advice. But just like when I learned about red light therapy for the first time and was in awe at its endless health benefits, I am equally impressed by the limitless potential of methylene blue. Both are safe, efficacious and likely have a pivotal role to play for anyone looking to optimize their health and longevity.

As always, (red) light up your (blue) health!

December 28, 2023Mechanisms of How Red Light Therapy Works [Top Episode of 2023!]
For the second top episode of 2023, we are going back to the basics! That may sound boring to some, but for those that really want to understand how red light therapy can by modern day's "magic bullet," it's worth learning (and, for some of you, reviewing) the foundations of the mitochondria and the mechanisms of how red light therapy works. I'm a dork and I love this type of information. I hope you learn and enjoy it as well...

Did you know red light therapy is a hormetic stressor to our cells similar to exercise? This week on The Red Light Report, we are going to review some of the fundamentals of red light therapy that include the two proposed mechanisms of how red light therapy actually works. And while you may already understand some of the basic concepts, I think there will be plenty of new, in-depth information that will add some color to your current red light therapy knowledge.

Especially living in the Information Age, we hear/read/listen to so much information all of the time, that we rarely ingrain any of it. That's why repetition of the same information, particularly when its presented in different ways will lead to a deeper understanding and application of the knowledge.

In today's episode, I will cover the mechanisms for how red light therapy works; both the agreed upon mechanisms (boosting mitochondrial function and hormesis) and the theoretical mechanisms (water as a photoacceptor and chlorophyll metabolites in our blood leading to increased light absorption and energy production). All of it is very fascinating and speaks to the various ways that light, especially red and near-infrared light, can positively impact our physiology.

While listening to the information in this episode, consider what lifestyle changes you could make to further optimize your mitochondrial health (structured water and green veggies/supplements, anyone?). As always, light up your health and enjoy!

December 21, 2023Grounding, Pt. 1— Is Earthing the Best Anti-Inflammatory in the World? [Top Episode of 2023!]
As we're rapidly approaching the end of 2023, I wanted to revisit some of the most popular episodes of the year! Today's episode was the most popular download of the year. You longtime listeners will remember this fascinating solosode on grounding and, perhaps, it is worth the review and listening again. For those that have recently joined and are new to The Red Light Report, you are in for a treat with this highly fascinating, informative episode on grounding and its truly remarkable benefits. I hope you all enjoy...

From the original podcast description:

"Commonly called Earthing, grounding has been an available source of energy to our cells (from an evolutionary perspective) as long as the sun; perhaps, that is why is has such a powerful affect over our biology. Ironically, just as we have disengaged ourselves from consistent sun exposure (mal-illumination, anyone?) we have ignorantly disconnected ourselves from the very planet we live on. Consider this: the mere rubber between our feet and the surface of the earth may be the largest culprit of modern day chronic health diseases and cancer. Seem far-fetched?

During this three-part solosode series, I will be unpacking some of the most important health information you can hear at this moment in time from the book, Earthing: The Most Important Health Discovery Ever. Throughout this series, you will learn that, like optimizing your light environment, it is the act of simply becoming aware and consistently applying this free "treatment" (of grounding) to your health regimen that could have life-changing results for you, family members and/or friends. Like red light therapy, the list of health conditions that can be mitigated, prevented and even reversed with grounding are endless.

I couldn't be more excited to get this information out to you all and begin 2023 off on the right foot — preferably, both feet on the ground absorbing earth's free electrons. Brownie points if you listen to this episode while grounding..."

Sit back, learn lots and light up your health!

December 14, 2023Healing via Sound, Light, Frequency & the Harmonic Egg w/ Gail Lynn
Health and wellness can come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Today, it's coming in the shape of an egg — the Harmonic Egg! The brilliant and warmhearted inventor of the Harmonic Egg, Gail Lynn, joins me on the podcast today to discuss the numerous ways our biology responds and heals to frequency, especially sound and light, and how we can harness these frequencies to empower our health and wellness journey. Of course, this naturally leads to her story about developing and engineering the prototype of her amazing product, what is now the Harmonic Egg, and Gail shares the many health benefits centered around the specific way it is designed and also details some anecdotes that she and others have realized in the Egg. At the end of the day, healthy sound + healthy light = winner winner omelette (egg) dinner!

Gail is a renowned visionary, inventor and pioneer in the realm of frequency healing, celebrated for her ground-breaking creation, the Harmonic Egg®. She went on to also create the Harmonic Egg - Ellipse® and the LiFT. These innovative sound and light frequency chambers, designed with the aim of fostering holistic healing and wellness, stands as a testament to Gail’s visionary approach to promoting mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. She is also the author of ‘Unlocking the Ancient Secrets to Healing: Why science is looking to the past for the future of medicine’.

I simply enjoyed listening and learning from Gail, as she exudes a calming and centered aura about her that is quite infectious and delightful. We cover other interesting topics, including nutrition, pendulum use, color, other holistic health strategies, collaborative/cooperative business model and much more.

As always, learn lots and light up your health!
