Today's guest is genuinely one of my favorite people to talk to, as we are kindred spirits in so many ways. This became even more abundantly clear on this week's episode of The Red Light Report, as Dr. Chris Motley and I both agreed to join forces on a special red light therapy project (that I am incredibly excited about!). This manifested completely out of thin air and was 100% impromptu during the middle of our conversation. If you are a longtime TRLR listener, you likely recognize this name, as he was a guest back in September '21, where we cover some fascinating topics: frequency therapy, dry needling vs. acupuncture, emotions related to specific organs, light/energy/resonance and so much more! I highly recommend going back and listening to our first conversation -- the link to that episode is in the show notes below.

As a quick review, Dr. Chris Motley is a doctor of chiropractic, is credentialed in acupuncture, is a highly respected expert in Chinese Medicine and Frequency Medicine and also has certifications in Chiro + Plus Kinesiology (CPK) and Neuro Emotional Technique. With his wealth of knowledge, he is a presenter at symposiums and is also a podcast co-host on Dr. Josh Axe's, Ancient Health Podcast. Dr. Motley also announced that he is now beginning a membership where you can join and learn from him in a more intimate setting and garner more of his amazing holistic knowledge and skillset. I highly recommend checking his membership out  — I know I will!

During our conversation today, Dr. Motley goes into some interesting and highly-engaging Chinese and frequency medicine and topics, such as how we can best transition our bodies and organs out of the slower, recovering mode of the winter season and into the reawakening and growing process of the spring season. He even walks through some hands-on techniques for self-treatment to help facilitate this process.

On this week's episode of The Red Light Report, I will peel back the curtain on BioLight's newest piece of innovative red light therapy technology: the Adapt System. Many of you likely heard about it when it was officially released a couple of months ago, but I wanted to give an explanation of what makes the Adapt System, which consists of the Adapt Table and the Adapt Panel, so unique, versatile and a must-have for any physician/practitioner, longevity clinic, med spa, recovery/performance center, yoga studio/cross fit gym, etc. that is looking to implement red light therapy for their patients and clients.

Could the combination of red light and blue light cause an electrical event, even if minuscule? I am infatuated with interacting and conversing with experts in the holistic health and wellness space whom possess unique, profound information  —  you learn so much from these individuals! Today's guest on The Red Light Report, Lance Schuttler, is an individual I have been following for some time because he produces amazing informational health content that both resonates with me and I continue learn from. On top of that, he is the founder and CEO of a high-quality, high-integrity holistic nutrition and wellness company, Ascent Nutrition.

Lance graduated from the University of Iowa with a degree in Health Science. On top of running a highly successful company, he is also a contributing health and wellness writer at The Epoch Times and Video Advice. Lance's work also includes the topics of regenerative agriculture, resource-based economies and quantum technologies.

During our conversation, we cover an array of interesting topics, including bioenergetics, DHA, the power of mushrooms (including a mushroom I had never heard of before, agarikon), how/why his company is particularly transparent with their nutritional labeling, his own personal experience with red light therapy and his unique take on the potential benefit of irradiating your teeth with red and near-infrared light.

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!

Dr. Mike Belkowski & Manuel Salvadori discuss the following:

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.  

Dr. Mike Belkowski presents the following:

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.

Dr. Mike Belkowski and Alain Dijkstra discuss the following:

• 3:28 - Circadian rhythm and red light therapy

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.
