March 02, 2023 Healthcare in Italy, Biohacking, Nootropics & Red Light Therapy Anecdotes w/ Manuel Salvadori
This week on The Red Light Report we are sticking with the Italian theme, as I had the pleasure to sit down and chat with mio amico, Manuel Salvadori, who is responsible for arranging me as a guest speaker at the School of Functional Medicine and Nutrition symposium in Rome last November. Manuel is a registered nutritionist in Italy, a passionate biohacker of ten-plus years and is especially focused on nootropics, sleep and lifestyle changes. Also, given that Italian is his first language, he speaks relatively flawless English... Molto bene!

Manuel and I cover many interesting topics given that he lives in a different country and also a different continent; specifically, the contrast between the medical and healthcare landscape between Italy and America and how/why Europe is consistently years and years behind the US when it comes to learning and adopting health/biohacking/longevity information and technology.

Given Manuel's interests and expertise, we also dive into nootropics where he has a very deep history with experimentation and, with that background, has an enlightened perspective and sage advice for those using and/or interested in beginning to use nootropics. Needless to say, be careful with how you proceed as it can be a slippery slope! And, of course, we have some great conversation about red light therapy and how he came to learn about and adopt it, how he utilizes RLT, what benefits he has noticed and more!
Manuel brings some unique insight and wonderful perspective from across the pond. The only thing we forgot to talk about was Italian food (their pizza is unparalleled!) — we'll have to save that for his next interview. As always, enjoy the episode, learn lots and light up your health!

February 23, 2023Dr. Mike Belkowski Presents Photobiomodulation Research & Benefits in Rome, Italy
Ciao! For the 100th episode of The Red Light Report, we are traveling to Italy! In mid-November last year, I was one of three English-speaking guest speakers at a functional medicine and nutrition conference in Rome where I spoke on — you guessed it — red light therapy. It was a genuine honor and a fun experience to spread the word and knowledge on photobiomodulation overseas.

In my presentation, I describe the fundamental tenants of red light therapy, the mechanisms of how it actually works at the cellular level, go over the wide array of photobiomodulation research and provide some tips and tricks as to how one can best utilize this amazing therapy.

If you have been listening to this podcast for some time, most of the information you have heard before. But as you all know, repetition of important information leads to deep learning and empowerment. Even for myself, I personally love to revisit this information every so often as it is the foundation and cornerstone of what red light therapy is, the nuts and bolts of how it works and just some of the profound research that proves its efficacy.

Enjoy the episode, learn (and re-learn) lots and light up your health... grazie!

February 16, 2023Research: Hair Loss w/ Vortex Beams, Fat Loss & Insulin Resistance via Red Light Therapy
This week on The Red Light Report, we will continue to dive into more photobiomodulation research. However, this research will be looking at three unique topics that typically don't get as much attention.

The first article investigates treating hair loss via red light therapy; not using "normal" light, but rather red light therapy via vortex beams. This is the first time I have heard of vortex beams, but apparently it led to more efficacious results! The second piece of research is an abstract of an article that tackled red light therapy for insulin resistance; the preliminary results look promising, which would be a massive win for those dealing with blood sugar and insulin-related diseases. Lastly, we take a deeper exploration into an article that utilizes red light therapy for fat loss in obese individuals. The researchers also have more insight into the mechanism of how photobiomodulation actually decreases fat adiposity on the body.

Hair loss, insulin resistance and fat loss — seems like three major areas of the health market that consumers could greatly benefit from a non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical and more financially friendly option. Huzzah for red light therapy!

As always, enjoy the episode, learn lots and light up your health!

February 09, 2023Research: Treating Rosacea, Improving Sleep Quality, & Optimizing Short-Term Memory via Photobiomodulation
On this week's solosode of The Red Light Report, we return to the photobiomodulation research and cover an array of fascinating topics.

We first look into how red light therapy may be able to improve symptoms of rosacea in a mouse model. Secondly, we take a deep dive into a review article that analyzes the research on photobiomodulation for the brain at night, while sleeping, to improve the function of the glymphatic system. Lastly, we cover an article that uncovers some exciting potential between transcranial photobiomodulation for the brain and short-term memory. This is important, as short-term memory is the first to go with neurodegenerative diseases involving the brain.

I hope you find this research illuminating and appreciate the promising implications it has for our health and wellness. Enjoy, learn lots and light up your health!

February 02, 2023Standardizing Red Light Therapy Methods, Informing Consumers, & The Future of Medicine w/ Alain Dijkstra
For the first interview of 2023 on The Red Light Report, I welcome back a dear friend and repeat guest, Alain Dijkstra, who is the founder and CEO of Kaiyan Medical, one of the world's foremost LED light therapy producer and manufacturer. If you may recall, Alain started Kaiyan in a hotel room way back in 2009 and has built it into the juggernaut that it is today.

Being thoroughly entrenched in the light therapy space for almost two decades, Alain has a very keen and insightful perspective on how much red light therapy industry has grown in a relatively short period of time. However, he is the first to admit that there are still many aspects that need to be improved upon, both on the product side of light therapy, but also with respect to the photobiomodulation research that is being produced. Alain offers up strategies that would help move the light therapy industry as a whole forward in a positive manner.

Alain is also very savvy when it comes to understanding the nuances of product specifications, certifications, legal standards and so forth. He explains in detail what makes a medical device, what a 510k product is and more. This will help consumers and anyone interested in red light therapy products gain a better perspective of what all the regulation entails and what it actually means.

Alain could write a textbook on red light therapy (and maybe he will someday), so you know you are listening and learning from one of the best in the industry. As always, light up your health!

January 26, 2023Grounding, Pt. 4: Incredible Anecdotes & Earthing for Female Health, Athletic Performance & Pet Health
The series finale on Earthing should be the episode that fully converts you into a full-fledged believer. This week on The Red Light Report you will hear from countless individuals, as they discuss how grounding helped improved their health, wellness, well-being and quality of life over an array of health conditions. The numerous anecdotes I cover will be the proof in the pudding that will take you off the fence, if that is where you are sitting, or just further drive home the point that grounding MUST become a part of your daily (in a perfect world, hourly and/or continuous) health regimen going forward.

There are also a couple of enlightening sections towards the end of the book that cover grounding and its connection to ameliorating female health, athletic performance and pet health. These three sections clearly demonstrate how versatile and instrumental Earthing is to our wellness and the health of all living creatures on the planet. From an analytic perspective, it coherently substantiates how being disconnected from the very Earth we live on is potentially the most dastardly self-inflicted wound we impose on our health and wellbeing.

In the end, I hope you all walk away from this solosode series with a greater reverence for the perpetual healing force that is just outside your door in the grass; that you are constantly surrounded by an overabundance of free electrons that your body can use to heal and thrive; and that it is typically just on the other side of the non-conductive rubber in your shoes and the sole of your feet. Enjoy, learn lots and light up your health!

January 19, 2023Grounding, Pt. 3 - Earthing 101 & How it Regulates the Nervous System, Heart & Blood Pressure
With cardiovascular disease continually on the rise and high blood pressure being one of the most important risk factors for the disease, hypertensive medications continue to skyrocket. While there is a type and place for pharmaceuticals, this does not address the issue at its root cause. This week on The Red Light Report we will learn how Earthing may be THE best anti-hypertensive remedy available; not to mention, it's 100% natural and has no negative side effects. Simply by connecting to the earth and it's perpetual source of free electrons, mother nature literally thins your blood (only if it's necessary to reach homeostasis), which automatically reduces the stress on your cardiovascular system and normalizes blood pressure. Again, that is sans medication!

We will also continue to learn more specifics about grounding, such as how long it takes to see results, what types of mediums are conductive versus insulating, what zeta potential is (and why that is an important metric), other impacts of grounding on cardiovascular health along with a couple of anecdotes that put the proof in the proverbial (grounding) pudding.

Again, if you are interested in adding grounding to your indoor health regimen (and I firmly believe everybody should!), I highly recommend checking out grounding products from the company Earthing. It's a Clint Ober company and where I got my grounding mattress pad and mats for my desk and living room/dining room. And in less than two weeks, my body and mind are already reaping the benefits. To me, it's one of the best investments in your overall health...

Brownie points if you listen to this episode while grounded. Enjoy, learn lots and light up your health!

January 12, 2023Grounding, Pt.2 — Connecting the Dots to How Earthing Heals Your Entire Body
Are you feeling grounded yet?! If you haven't felt the gravitational pull to start Earthing (outdoors or indoors) just yet, perhaps this week's solosode on The Red Light Report will provide you with the conviction necessary to get your toes in the grass (or on a grounding mat, like me, if you are strapped to a desk for too many hours of the day).

Last week was a great introduction to grounding/Earthing where we laid a great foundation on the basics and fundamentals. Hopefully, it got the wheels turning in your head and brought some awareness to how disconnected we are from the ground of the earth we walk on every single day.

In today's episode, we will connect the dots and dig even deeper into the multitude of ways that grounding can have a profound impact on your health. As part of that, you will learn how grounding may be the best EMF protection you could ask for — and that's on top of filling you up with free electrons!

Lastly, I have been getting inundated with which grounding products are best or which grounding products I love best. Personally, I purchased my products from the company Earthing and I undeniably felt (both mentally and physically) phenomenal results in less than five days of commencing my indoor grounding! So I highly, highly recommend their products. And, in my opinion, a grounded mattress pad is a must!

Without further ado, learn lots and light up your health!

January 05, 2023 Grounding, Pt. 1 — Is Earthing the Best Anti-Inflammatory in the World?
Happy New Year everybody and welcome to 2023! It feels nice to turn the page onto a new year and start fresh with a clean slate, revitalized and with endless possibilities. To begin this year on The Red Light Report, I am feeling pulled and magnetized into a slightly different direction than our usual red light therapy talk. But don't worry, the topic will still be light- and health-centric, albeit from a slightly different angle. Instead of looking above to our light source, we will be focusing towards the ground for this healing source of photonic and electromagnetic energy: grounding.

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 29, 2022Optimizing Anti-Aging & Longevity via Supplements & Adjuvants w/ Sandra Kaufmann, MD [Top Interview of 2022!]
Like last week, we are going to revisit one of the top two interviews from 2022. This conversation was with my most (personally) anticipated interview, Dr. Sandra Kaufmann. I fell in love with her first anti-aging book from several years ago and then fell in love again when she released her newest book this summer. She is a highly-respected expert in the longevity community and she didn't disappoint in this interview. Enjoy learning from Dr. Kaufmann...

The author of one of my all-time favorite books recently released her second book, which was like Christmas coming early for me! Luckily, I had also met her before at an anti-aging conference and we have stayed in touch throughout the years. So I knew I had to Dr. Sandra Kaufmann on The Red Light Report for some amazing conversation about anti-aging and longevity strategies, especially as it relates to supplements and adjuvants — topics that she is considered a bonafide expert. In her newest book, Aging Solutions, Dr. Kaufmann covers 28 different agents that she has found to be the most efficacious and backed by science, according to her rigorous research. We cover many agents from both of her books along with Dr. Kaufmann's skincare routine and other longevity hacks she as implemented over the years, including red light therapy!

Dr. Sandra Kaufmann began her academic career in the field of cellular biology, earning a Master’s Degree from the University of Connecticut in Tropical Ecology and Plant Physiology. Turning to medicine, she received her medical Degree at the University of Maryland, and completed a residency and fellowship at Johns Hopkins in the field of pediatric anesthesiology. She has been the Chief of Pediatric Anesthesia at the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital for 9 years, a nationally recognized center of excellence.

Dr. Kaufmann's avid interest in the science of anti-aging begun many years ago as an intense hobby. Utilizing her knowledge in cell biology, human pharmacology and physiology, this hobby has now become a main focus. The project represents years of non-clinical research leading to the first ever, comprehensive theory of aging. She has now released two books on longevity: The Kaufmann Protocol: Why We Age and How to Stop it, and just recently in 2022, Aging Solutions.

This conversation could have easily gone on for hours and hours, as Dr. Kaufmann is a wealth of knowledge in some of my favorite topics and is fun to listen and learn from. I know you will all enjoy learning from her like I did and, if so, I highly recommend you check out BOTH of her books. They are simply amazing resources of anti-aging/longevity information. As always, light up your health!
