I get a little giddy when I come across a novel mitochondrial-boosting strategy; particularly, when its mechanisms of how it impacts the mitochondria aren't redundant with other powerful modalities, such as red light therapy, methylene blue and C60. Of course, it must also be safe, efficacious and backed by research for it to even be a consideration. Well, ladies and gentleman, the amino acid taur...

One topic that has been covered relatively sparingly on this podcast throughout the years is hair health. Today's guest, Dr. Alan J. Bauman, has been voted #1 Top Hair Restoration Surgeon in North America, along with countless other accolades, and has also been using red light therapy for hair health both personally and professionally for decades. Considered one of the top experts in his industry,...

It's time to light up our mouths! In today's episode, we cover research and information centered around the impact of mitochondrial function on oral health and oral diseases along with photobiomodulation research on how red and blue light therapy can impact oral health.​​As we know from our past episodes with biological dentists (shoutout to Dr. Kelly Blodgett and Dr. Dominik Nischwitz), the impac...

It's not hard to get excited to learn from someone that is so authentically passionate about their areas of expertise and interest. Today's guest and PRP, stems cells and regenerative expert, Dr. Rahul Desai, is a perfect depiction of someone that is impassioned to learn, teach and disseminate information he finds particularly profound to improve one's health and wellness. On top of that, Dr. Desa...

We live in an extraordinary era where information and technology seemingly provides us with endless opportunities, especially in the realm of health and wellness. However, some of the best wellness practices are those that have stood the test of time, harking back to ancient civilizations. Today's guest and Ayurvedic expert, Dr. Shivani Gupta, is the beautiful blend of both worlds, coalescing the...

In today's solosode, we will take a deep dive into three areas of health and how they can benefit from red light therapy: Athletic/exercise performance Bone & joint health Brain & cognitive health Per the structure in  The Red Light Therapy Guide , with each topic we will discuss the main causes of each disease and how red light therapy can contribute to mitigating, preventing an/or revers...

We will continue trekking along in the new eBook that I recently released, The Red Light Therapy Guide. In this episode, we will get into the meat and potatoes of my new and vastly improved red light therapy treatment protocol ecosystem. This new format allows anyone with any type of RLT device to easily and accurately produce a nuanced, individualized protocol based on their health and wellness g...

In case you missed out on yesterday's email and/or social media announcements: the newest edition of my RLT eBook was released! This has been a long time coming and a labor of love. As decent as the previous versions have been (not trying to toot my own horn), the protocols provided in those editions were, more or less, centered around a particular light irradiance. That meant if you had a device...

This week we're going to engage in another FAQ / Q&A session! But before we go there... I am beyond excited to announce an absolutely amazing functional medicine and nutrition symposium in Rome, Italy, where I will be attending and speaking ​on The Mitochondrial Triad! This is the same event where I spoke two years ago and they invited me back again this year. This event is growing tremendousl...

The life of a CEO can be beyond crazy, hectic, stressful, rewarding, empowering, creative, fulfilling, chaotic.... let's just call it an emotional roller coaster! As we learned from Don Bailey (CEO of BlockBusters Tech) a couple of weeks ago, adding some mitochondrial hacks, such as red light therapy and methylene blue, significantly moved the needle in the focus and creativity departments for him...

How effective is red light therapy for reducing stress when you irradiate both your brain and your gut? Can methylene blue reduce mortality in those critically ill? How safe and effect is C60 according to a recent toxicity report?​​​​In today's solosode, we're diving back into the research! And it ended up being a sheer coincidence that we're covering each topic of The Mitochondrial Triad. The fir...

I'm excited to finally start some "fireside chats" with people that are willing to share their experiences  — good, bad, or otherwise  — about implementing red light therapy and/or methylene blue and/or C60 into their health regimen and what they noticed. That first person happens to be a (now) very good friend of mine, Don Bailey, whom I only met in-person back in December. In a nutshell, today's...

"In effect, humans have dragged a body with a long hominid history into an overfed, malnourished, sedentary, sunlight-deficient, sleep-deprived, competitive, inequitable, and socially isolating environment with dire consequences." That quote from the book, On the Origin of Being, perfectly encapsulates the evolutionary mismatch of today's population in the modern world; an environment where everyt...

As we're approaching the dog days of summer, it seemed like it would be nice to take a break from the deep science of photobiomodulation research and take some FAQs surrounding red light therapy. Chances are that if you have that question, thousands of other people have that same question. Also, as long as I've been deeply entrenched in the red light therapy space, it seems like the same misinform...

At this point, hopefully you're a fan of the mitochondria, red light therapy and methylene blue... because we'll be digging into those topics today! The first article looks at red light therapy's impact on mitochondrial dynamics. Some of this may be review, but it's all part of putting the pieces of the puzzle together in this RLT-mitochondria waltz. I continue to be awestruck at the vast potentia...

Add the following ingredients: bodybuilder turned transformation expert turned biohacker turned healthspan and longevity expert... when you properly mix those constituents together, you get an amazing and insightful conversation with today's guest, Kris Gethin. And Kris can back up what he preaches with a biological age of 26 when he is currently knocking on the door of 50!Kris Gethin is the world...

The more I learn about frequency and energy medicine, the greater the appreciation and wonderment I have for its expansive potential for health and wellness. There may be no one more entrenched in learning, treating and spearheading energy medicine than today's guest, Geoffrey Montague-Smith. Geoffrey is an expert in sound therapy and is responsible for developing Holosonic Sound Therapy method to...

I always like learning about topics that can directly or indirectly affect mitochondrial function. At the end of the day, those are other potential strategies for optimizing mitochondrial health and the root cause of health, wellness and longevity. Redox biology fits that to a tee, meaning if you can improve your internal redox signaling you will inherently improve your mitochondrial function. I l...

This week we are going to cover a wide array of research:​ ​Mitophagy's impact on aging (the mitochondria's process of selective degradation of mitochondria by autophagy). If you can't get rid of the garbage mitochondria, that's a rotten deal for your health.   Methylene blue's role in combatting oral biofilm (a sticky film that coats teeth and contains bacteria). Our blue friend may actually be p...

It's about time that we dig back into some photobiomodulation research. This week we will take a deep dive into the impact of repeated low level red light therapy on childhood myopia. With an ever-increasing divergence of time that children spend viewing near-distance objects like phones, tablets, computers, TVs, etc. compared to time outside where the eyes have to focus on objects in the distance...

Over the last six months-plus, we have covered the numerous research-backed ways that methylene blue can help improve our health and mitochondrial function: from being one of the most potent antioxidants out there (i.e., one of the best electron donors available) to combatting neurodegeneration to reducing stress/anxiety/depression to fiercely combatting viruses and harmful bacteria to its powerfu...

It seems that methylene blue (MB) has continued to capture the attention on those looking to optimize mitochondrial health — and for good reason. After all, it may be one of the easiest and fastest way to improve mitochondrial function. But remember that third pillar of The Mitochondrial Triad? Yeah, that C60 thing... Perhaps it hasn't gotten as much love on this podcast and/or may be even lesser...

We've all heard that "the eye is the window to the soul," but have you heard of strategically utilizing the visual system to get rid of pain, improve emotions and normalize countless health conditions that are otherwise difficult to treat? Today's conversation with Abe Al-Baba will knock your socks off with both the education he provides and the anecdotes he shares with how he helps his clients re...

I just got back from San Diego where I attended an outstanding "meeting of the minds" water summit put on by Tracy Duhs. I walked in with a respect for water and its importance for our health; I left with a reverence for water and its role it plays in all aspects of life. It's simply mind-blowing! Tracy corralled the top researchers and thought leaders in the water space and had me wrap up the wee...

Developing a red light therapy treatment protocol has never been so easy and individualized! My passion project for the last 6 - 10 months has been putting together an ecosystem that will allow anyone with any type of red light therapy device from any company to easily and accurately produce a protocol based on what they are trying to treat. At the end of the day, I believe that this tool will bec...
