Photobiomodulation has long been a potent tool in the promotion of good health,  but now it is easier than ever to benefit from the healing power of light.  This is the first of four LLAMA podcast episodes exploring the benefits of red light therapy. Dr. Zulia Frost is a medical doctor and clinical director at Recharge Health, creators of a targeted red-light device, known as FlexBeam. Dr. Frost explains that the technology has many applications, including the treatment of sports injuries, therapy for age-related aches and pains and as way to help improve sleep. 

FlexBeam is not intended to diagnose, cure, or prevent specific diseases or medical conditions.

In this conversation we cover:

• How to navigate the complexities of photobiomodulation
• Dr. Frost shares her experience of recovery from a severe accident, and how it sparked her interest in creating the Flexbeam.
• The impact of different parts of the light spectrum on our bodies. 
• Why red and near-infrared light are the most researched forms of photobiomodulation
• The intricate connection of our circadian rhythm with the light we're exposed to. 
• The role of the hormone melatonin in managing our body's 24-hour cycle. 
• A comparative discussion on lasers and LEDs 
• Flexbeam, a user-friendly device that can be used on-the-go. How the the belt-like device targets joints, stimulating energy production, increasing oxygen binding, and reducing inflammation. 
• Safety and the potential consequences of energy overdose.
