May 19, 2022Pet Health & Pre-Conditioning w/ Red Light Therapy
All aboard the Photobiomodulation Express! This week on The Red Light Report, we will keep learning about various ways you (and your pets!) can benefit from red light therapy, as I continue to read from the eBook I developed the past several years, the Red Light Therapy Treatment Protocols eBook.

In last week's solosode, I covered the following four health conditions outlined in the eBook: inflammation, the immune system, oral health and pain. For each health condition, I discuss how red light therapy can benefit that particular condition and then follow that up with what the photobiomodulation research has to say about that health condition.

In this solosode, I will be discussing the next two topics in the eBook: pet health and pre-conditioning.

Even though it is only two topics covered this week, there is a lot of valuable information in this episode. So learn lots, light up your health and enjoy!

April 21, 2022Important Concepts of Red Light Therapy
For the next handful of solosodes on The Red Light Report, I will be reading from the eBook I have developed and continuously updated over the last three years, the Red Light Therapy Treatment Protocols eBook. Currently in its third edition, the eBook consists of information that I have distilled from countless sources and hundred upon hundreds of hours reading and researching. With that being said, the eBook is always a work in progress as I continue to update the information and protocols, as well as add new protocols, as new information and research comes to light.

The eBook is broken up into a couple of different sections: the first section is comprised of important concepts that everyone should know to help them better understand and harness red light therapy; the second (and much larger) section consists of almost a couple dozen health conditions, where each condition has explanations of how red light therapy can help it, synopses from the most current and strongest research and then, of course, the specific treatment protocol that is completely based off the research.

In this solosode, we will be covering the Important Concepts section, which covers red light vs. near-infrared light, mitochondria, the biphasic dose response, hormesis and dosing. Subsequent solosodes will go over the various sections of health conditions, which will hopefully provide you with an all-encompassing perspective of the amazing potential that red light therapy possesses.

Learn lots, light up your health and enjoy!

April 07, 2022Vitamin C, Red Light For Tendon Injuries & Treating Bell’s Palsy
I know The Red Light Report isn't necessarily about highlighting nutrition, as there's thousands of those podcasts already. However, I did want to acknowledge National Vitamin C Day that occurred this week, so I take a quick dive into the history and benefits of one of the most popular vitamins in the world. Needless to say, you should be getting your daily vitamin C one way or another.

Of course, I want to bring you the newest, cutting-edge photobiomodulation research available, so in this episode I will be highlighting three different articles. The first one, which I cover most in-depth, is about red light therapy (RLT) and how it can benefit the healing of tendons. Virtually 100% people on earth cross paths with a tendon injury at one point or another, with a high percentage eventually succumbing to chronic tendon injury/pain. So everyone will want to hear what this article has to say about RLT's benefits for tendon injuries.

The subsequent two articles are so hot off the press that I could only get my hands on the abstracts. But regardless, the information and the results on what RLT can do to benefit Bell's palsy and temporomandibular joint disorder (i.e, jaw pain) is quite impressive — further uncovering more and more ways you can utilize red light therapy to your advantage.

Learn lots, light up your health and enjoy!

March 31, 2022Light Therapy History, Building Up Your Solar Callous & Astaxanthin Benefits for Mitochondrial & DNA Health
On this week's solosode of The Red Light Report, I deliver a variety pack of information. One of the fun topics I randomly cover is about possibly my favorite non-negotiable adjuvant I take daily: astaxanthin. Ironically, the endless list of powerful benefits from this substance are secondary to sunlight exposure that stresses the algae, developing an orange goop — that goop is astaxanthin. So you could say the benefits derived from astaxanthin are thanks to the light from the sun!

I also review the history of light therapy and the interesting ride it has been on over the centuries: from The Golden Age to the Era of Darkness to the New Age of Light. The pendulum has swung both ways and, luckily for us, it is swinging back to the side of evolution, utility and appreciation for the healing benefits of light therapy. This is why we have seen such a surge in photobiomodulation, namely red light therapy.

Lastly, I cover the negative impact of light flicker, as it relates to our health. Decades and decades ago, it was thought that if light manufacturers increased the flicker rate so that it wasn't perceptible to the naked eye it wouldn't have a negative impact on our biology. However, we have learned that there can be insidious (or obvious) consequences of "invisible" light flicker, such as headaches/migraines, eye strain, decreased concentration and energy, mood and behavioral disorders and more. That is exactly why I made sure all BioLight panels have the lowest light flicker possible — the first red light therapy company to take that variable into consideration.

March 24, 2022Oral Health Benefits of Red Light & Blue Light Therapy
One of my favorite aspects of red light therapy is the benefits it has on oral health. The photobiomodulation research in this area is exhaustive, demonstrating countless ways that RLT can impact oral health — from infections to gum health to enamel erosion to orthodontic surgery to pain and more! On this week's solosode of The Red Light Report, I will review the many benefits of RLT as it relates to oral health, but then I will take a dive into the health and aesthetic benefits of blue light therapy for oral health and teeth.

Blue light therapy is notorious for whitening teeth, especially when combined with hydrogen peroxide or carbomide peroxide gel; I will discuss which peroxide is superior for whitening teeth most efficiently. Not only that, blue light is equally effective at selectively killing harmful bacteria while leaving beneficial bacteria alive and thriving, which leads to an optimized oral microbiome.

Towards the end of the episode, I may or may not have an exciting announcement about a new BioLight product that is about to be released... So listen to the entire episode to find out what it is!

March 17, 2022Light Healing, Presence, Consciousness & Pure Awareness w/ Dr. Jacob Liberman
“We do not see things as they are; we see them as we are... We have less control over our destiny than we think... The harder we look the less we see; by looking less, we see more."

I have never finished a conversation feeling so enlightened and in awe of an individual's charisma and aura than I did on this week's episode of The Red Light Report with Dr. Jacob Israel Liberman. Not only is Dr. Liberman an optometrist and a leading authority in the domain of "external" light that we associate the sun and red light therapy with, but he is also a sage, thoughtful guru as it pertains to our "inner" light.

In this episode, Dr. Liberman shares some amazing anecdotes on how he helped heal the vision of his patients decades ago with unique tactics that he developed and still uses today, such as human homeopathy and color homeopathy. He clarifies was it actually means to be present, what pure awareness looks like, the battle between the conscious and unconscious mind, what it means to live a full-spectrum life and more...

Dr. Jacob Israel Liberman is a pioneer in the fields of light, vision and consciousness and has been enthusiastically endorsed by luminaries in the fields of health, science, and spirituality from Deepak Chopra and Bruce Lipton to Eckhart Tolle and also the author of Light: Medicine of the Future, Take Off Your Glasses and See and Luminous Life.

Dr. Liberman earned a doctorate in optometry from Southern College of Optometry and a PhD in vision science from the College of Syntonic Optometry. He received the H.R. Spitler Award for his contributions to the field of phototherapy and has invented numerous light therapy devices, including the first FDA-cleared medical device to significantly improve overall visual performance. A respected public speaker, Dr. Liberman shares his scientific and spiritual discoveries with audiences worldwide.

This episode is a profound, thought-provoking discussion from the heart that will be sure to change the way you perceive light and yourself. Enjoy!
