Over the next week or so, I wanted to reshare the top several episodes of 2024! These are essentially "voted on" by you, the listeners, based on the episodes that had the most downloads over the course of the past calendar year.

​​For longtime listeners of the podcast, I think this will be a welcomed revisit of the compelling, invigorating conversations had with these guests; for newer listeners of The Red Light Report, you are undoubtedly in for a treat. Sit back, relax and enjoy learning from some of the best minds and thought leaders in the wellness and longevity spaces!
-

The more and more I learn about Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and acupuncture, the more I am intrigued and it just makes intuitive sense. It also helps when you learn this deep and complex knowledge from someone as intelligent and articulate as (now) three-time guest, Dr. Chris Motley. Long-time listeners of the show are familiar with Dr. Motley and his amazing command and intuition when it comes to TCM and other holistic modalities; new listeners.... you are in for a treat! He is by far one of my favorite humans to talk with, on and off the mic. 

Dr. Motley not only speaks from his depth of learning the information, but even more so from hands-on experience from his full day's of treating patients. During our conversation today, he details some fascinating discoveries he's made via experimenting with red light therapy and acupuncture points; he has observed some profound results particularly with viruses!  

We also take a deep dive into the importance of our fascial system and why it is a crucial (and, unfortunately, a highly underrated and overlooked organ system) facet of our overall wellbeing. Most commonly known for playing a major role in our mobility and flexibility, the fascia plays a much deeper role in our vitality. Dr. Motley and I also discuss the invaluable role that cupping plays in optimizing fascial health, which leads to innumerable benefits that we detail during our talk. 
​​
We also delve into some intriguing topics that are of special interest to Dr. Motley currently, including psychological aspect of physiological growth, the connection between psychological stress and organ growth patterns and the exploration of devices that detect static charges on the skin for diagnostic purposes

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