In this paradigm-shifting episode, Dr. Mike Belkowski sits down with the legendary Dr. Gerald Pollack, world-renowned bioengineering professor and pioneer of “Fourth Phase Water”, also known as EZ (Exclusion Zone) Water. They unpack the revolutionary concept that water in the body exists in a structured, energized form—beyond solid, liquid, and gas—and is central to cellular function, energy production, and health.You'll learn how EZ water acts like a biological battery, how red and infrared light build this water structure, and why cancer cells are deficient in it. Dr. Pollack also explores how mitochondrial health, light exposure, grounding, herbal compounds, and hyperbaric oxygen all influence our internal hydration and vitality at a cellular level.Whether you're into bioenergetics, red light therapy, or hydration science, this episode is a must-listen.Topics covered:• What is EZ Water and how it powers cells• Why hydration isn't just about drinking water• The shocking truth about ATP and cellular energy• How light, movement, and herbs influence cellular water• Implications for cancer, chronic disease, and aging• Dr. Pollack's upcoming book Charged Dr. Gerald H. Pollack is a professor of bioengineering at the University of Washington and a pioneering researcher in the field of water science. He is renowned for his discovery of the “fourth phase of water,” also known as exclusion zone (EZ) water, which exists beyond the traditional solid, liquid, and vapor states. This phase exhibits unique properties that have significant implications for biology, health, and energy.Beyond his research, Dr. Pollack is the founding editor-in-chief of the scientific journal WATER and serves as the executive director of the Institute for Venture Science. He also convenes the Annual Conference on the Physics, Chemistry, and Biology of Water. His contributions to science have been recognized with numerous awards, including the Prigogine Medal for thermodynamics, the NIH Director's Transformative Research Award, and the Emoto Peace Prize.Dr. Pollack's work continues to challenge conventional scientific paradigms, offering fresh insights into the fundamental nature of water and its role in life processes.If you found the information in today's episode with Dr. Pollack particularly interesting and/or compelling, please share it with a family member, friend, colleague and/or anyone that you think could benefit and be illuminated by this knowledge.

In this powerhouse solosode, Dr. Mike Belkowski returns to explore the science and strategy behind mitochondrial optimization, building on his foundational framework: the Six Pillars of Mitochondrial Health — energy production, mitochondrial biogenesis, mitophagy, fusion/fission, oxidative stress protection, and the relationship with light. He recaps recent conversations with leading voices in red light therapy and quantum biology, shares exciting details about BioLight's upcoming presence at the Dave Asprey Biohacking Conference, and teases new product launches live at the event. But the heart of the episode centers around the official breakdown of BioBlue: Fountain of Youth — BioLight's most advanced mitochondrial support supplement yet. Dr. Mike walks through each of the seven carefully selected ingredients (Methylene Blue, Urolithin A, Cordyceps, Chaga, Lion's Mane, Shilajit, and PQQ), explaining how they work together to comprehensively support all six pillars of mitochondrial function. Topics Covered: • The Six Pillars of Mitochondrial Health (and why they matter) • BioLight's upcoming events + product sneak peek • Breakdown of each ingredient in BioBlue: Fountain of Youth • Urolithin A, PQQ, and Methylene Blue's role in cellular vitality • The synergy of light, redox, and mitochondrial dynamics Whether you're a biohacker, a longevity enthusiast, or simply someone looking to optimize cellular health, this episode is a masterclass in mitochondrial science and practical supplementation.

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Thursday the 8th of May 2025 Active region 4079 turned out to be not quite so bad as we had predicted. The sunspot was large, about ten times the width of our Earth, so we expected it to be more active. It was regions 4081 and 4082 that produced most of the flare activity last week. Two filament eruptions also occurred within two hours of each other. The first event began at 16:20 UTC on the 6th of May in the southern hemisphere and was responsible for a plasma wave across the surface of the Sun. The second filament eruption began in the northern hemisphere around 17:50 UTC to the northeast of AR 4079. A large amount of plasma was flung to the north. The filament eruptions on Tuesday, the 6th of May, did produce coronal mass ejections, but an Earth-directed component was not apparent. So we dodged a bullet! The solar wind speed remained high for most of last week which didn't help propagation. It did help to push the Kp index to five across the weekend of the 3rd and 4th of May. Things were more settled later in the week. On Thursday, the 8th of May, the solar wind speed was down to around 500 kilometres per second, the Kp index was three, but MUFs over a 3,000km path were still down at about 20 MHz. An Earth-facing coronal hole may add to the solar wind this weekend, the 10th and 11th of May. It looks like summer HF propagation is kicking in, with lower MUFs during the day but higher ones at night. Next week, NOAA predicts that the SFI will be in the range 155 to 165. Settled geomagnetic conditions are forecast for the beginning of this coming week, but unsettled geomagnetic conditions are expected for the 16th to the 19th of May. At that point, we could see the Kp index rise to five again, coupled with poorer propagation and reduced MUFs. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO Tropo has been a key propagation mode during the previous couple of weeks, but there have been variations in the location and timings of these conditions. Sometimes this will be due to increased moisture below the temperature inversion, so although the cloudier areas have been cool, they have probably done better for Tropo. This is due to the improved quality of the inversion, which performs better when there is a big moisture contrast across it, as you find with these layers of cloud. Otherwise, we find that the better conditions are driven by night-time cooling, forming a low inversion near the ground which tends to disperse during the morning as the Sun warms it away. This should still be beneficial for the 70cm UK Activity Contest on Tuesday, the 13th of May, over eastern areas, but perhaps less so farther west. Good conditions will last into next week, but not everywhere. The main change will see an area of showery rain, possibly thundery, moving north into western Britain this weekend and perhaps some central areas early next week. This raises the prospect of some GHz band rain scatter in the west. The Eta Aquariids meteor shower peaked last week. In the decaying tail of activity, together with other lesser showers, this should keep an enhanced meteor input for the coming week. The Sporadic-E season typically runs from May to mid-September and the daily jet stream blogs have started on www.propquest.co.uk. As usual, the main season offers two periods of activity, one in the morning and the second from late afternoon to the evening. Remember, Es is not guaranteed since it depends upon many factors, but jet streams help, and these are shown on the website maps. Use the map clusters to find out where any activity is starting on 10m and then follow it up in frequency through the lower VHF bands. EME path losses are at their maximum but falling after apogee on Friday, the 9th of May. Moon declination is negative, reaching a minimum this coming Thursday, so we'll have very short Moon windows and low peak elevation. 144MHz sky noise is moderate, increasing to high by next Friday. And that's all from the propagation team this week.
Is “biohacking” really the best path to optimal health—or are we missing something deeper?

In this information-packed episode of The Red Light Report, Dr. Mike Belkowski is joined by Josh Crawford, Clinical Director of Genoa Integrative Health & Wellness. Josh shares his transformational journey from emergency medicine to building one of the most robust red light therapy clinics in North America. Sparked by the tragic loss of his first wife to Crohn's disease and biologic-related cancer, Josh recounts how that experience ignited his pursuit of root-cause medicine, integrative therapies, and photobiomodulation. The episode dives deep into the clinical application of red light therapy and methylene blue — especially in combination — as tools for mitochondrial repair, anti-aging, and chronic disease recovery. Josh and Dr. Mike explore the synergistic effects of methylene blue and red light, optimal dosing strategies, and the importance of high-quality supplementation. They also address the challenges of consumer devices, the biohacker movement, and using light and energy to promote cellular regeneration. Topics include: • Josh's journey from paramedic to bioenergetic health leader • Why methylene blue + red light = mitochondrial magic • Dosing strategies, contraindications, and clinical applications • How to vet red light therapy devices and avoid snake oil • Real-world stories of healing from autoimmune, cancer, and neurodegeneration Whether you're a clinician, wellness entrepreneur, or biohacker, this episode is full of clinical pearls, personal insights, and practical protocols that highlight the future of medicine rooted in energy, light, and mitochondrial health. Josh Crawford is the Clinical Director of Genoa Integrative Health & Wellness, a leading clinic focused on root-cause healing, mitochondrial repair, and advanced integrative therapies. With a background in emergency medicine and paramedicine, Josh transitioned into the world of holistic health after the tragic loss of his first wife to complications from Crohn's disease and biologic treatment. This personal turning point fueled his mission to challenge conventional sick-care models and pursue modalities that restore cellular health—especially photobiomodulation (red light therapy) and methylene blue. Today, Josh blends clinical insight with cutting-edge technologies to help patients reverse chronic illness, restore vitality, and reclaim their lives. He is widely respected for his hands-on expertise, patient-first philosophy, and ability to bridge traditional medical training with bioenergetic and integrative solutions.

In this deep-dive episode of The Red Light Report, Dr. Mike Belkowski takes you beyond the basics to explore why mitochondrial function is the true driver of health—and disease. After contrasting centralized vs. decentralized health paradigms, he reveals the root causes and systemic effects of mitochondrial dysfunction, using vivid analogies like “rocks in a river” to explain electron leakage and oxidative stress. From there, Mike unpacks the Six Pillars of Mitochondrial Health: 1. Energy Production – ATP synthesis & structured “EZ” water batteries 2. Biogenesis – Growing new mitochondria via PGC-1α, NRF1/2, TFAM 3. Mitophagy – Recycling damaged mitochondria through PINK1/Parkin 4. Fusion/Fission – Dynamic balancing of mitochondrial networks 5. Oxidative Stress Protection – Internal and supplemental antioxidants 6. Light Interaction – How red/NIR light supercharges bioenergetics Along the way, learn why methylene blue and red light therapy are synergistic brain- and mitochondria-boosters, why proper breathing and oxygen availability are non-negotiable, and how lifestyle tactics—from grounding to sun exposure—tie back to cellular power. Mike closes with a sneak peek at an upcoming all-in-one mitochondrial optimization product designed to tackle all six pillars at once.

// Du kennst sicher das herrliche Gefühl, nach einer langen Wanderung die Schuhe auszuziehen und ein Stück barfuß zu laufen. Oder die Füße in einen Bach zu halten. Mit nackten Füßen im tiefen Sand ist auch nicht schlecht, oder? Vorausgesetzt der Sand ist nicht zu heiß. In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Malte Denz darüber, woran es liegen könnte, dass der direkte körperliche Kontakt zur Erdoberfläche, zur Natur so wohltuend ist. Earthing und Grounding sind zwei der Bergriffe, die er in diesem Zusammenhang erklärt. Du erfährst auch, auf welche Kriterien du bei der Schuhwahl achten solltest (wenn du denn nach dem Hören überhaupt noch welche tragen möchtest) und wie du in Zukunft die Zeit an der Bushaltestelle besser nutzen kannst.

你有多久,沒有真正接觸地面了? 不是穿著鞋走在地板上的那種,而是赤腳踩在沙灘、草地或泥土上,讓腳底去感受土壤的溫度與濕氣。這樣的「接地」行為,在身心療癒領域有一個專有名詞:Grounding。 有研究指出,只要25分鐘的身體接地,就能減少體內發炎反應、放鬆神經系統、改善睡眠品質。而更多支持者相信,Grounding 不只是身體的放鬆,更是一種心理穩定力的練習——在資訊爆炸、情緒翻湧的時代,讓自己「回到此刻」。 本集《How to人生學》邀請到人生引導師 CC,從 Grounding 談到能量共振、自我催眠、舒曼波與腦波科學,也探討如何透過「心腦同步」讓身體進入修復與再生的節奏。她也分享自己正在籌備的「全球能療網」協會,希望搭起醫療與療癒之間的對話橋樑,讓更多看似「另類」的療法,能被以科學與經驗共同驗證的方式,好好看見。 也許療癒,不只是少數人的奇蹟,而是每個人都能練習的日常。
In this episode of The Red Light Report, Dr. Mike Belkowski returns fresh from the Health Optimization Summit in Austin, Texas, where he reconnected with the vibrant biohacking community. While the event buzz was exciting, Dr. Mike dives right back into what he does best: breaking down cutting-edge research in mitochondrial health and red light therapy. Key Topics Covered: 1. The Mitochondria–Gut Microbiota–Cardiovascular Axis Dr. Mike reviews a pre-release study that uncovers the two-way relationship between our gut microbes and mitochondrial function. Disruptions here may fuel inflammation and oxidative stress, leading to cardiovascular disease. The fix? Support both systems with red light therapy, methylene blue, probiotics, and lifestyle upgrades. 2. Phytochemicals & Gut Health A second study emphasizes how plant compounds like polyphenols and phytochemicals can rebalance gut flora and reduce inflammation. The takeaway: what we eat shapes our gut — and therefore our aging process and mitochondrial efficiency. 3. Red Light Therapy for the Gut-Brain Axis Dr. Mike explores three new studies showing that red and near-infrared light applied to the abdomen can: • Boost beneficial gut bacteria • Improve cognitive and motor function (even in Parkinson's patients) • Decrease harmful microbes He shares exact dosages and frequencies from the research — including exciting applications of pulsed frequencies (e.g., 700Hz) and intranasal photobiomodulation. 4. BioLight's New Methylene Blue Blend – BioBlue Mike reintroduces his company's enhanced methylene blue product, BioBlue, which includes NMN, colloidal gold/silver, and fulvic acid for boosted mitochondrial absorption and synergy with red light therapy. 5. Mitochondrial Inheritance Bombshell To close the episode, Dr. Mike unpacks a groundbreaking (but still early-stage) study suggesting that mitochondria might not be passed down exclusively from mothers. Some animal studies hint that paternal mitochondrial inheritance might occasionally occur — a potential paradigm shift in mitochondrial genetics.

Text me your thoughts/questionsHello Magical Human & welcome back to Madison Mindset the Podcast
Methylene blue has been going viral recently and not always for the right reasons.... or so their claimers make it seem. The most recent example of this is Dr. Paul Saladino's video he posted on social media he states that methylene blue actually "decreases ATP production" amongst other rationales for why people should not be consuming this mitochondrial-boosting agent. In the beginning of todays episode, I thoroughly and clearly state my thoughts on Dr. Saladino's hot take.The second topic entails a prelude about deuterium: what it is, how it impacts our mitochondrial function and some strategies to help mitigate its negative effects. We first discuss deuterium, because the research article we cover today is about taurine and its implications for helping the body produce deuterium-depleted water and/or helping the body decrease its deuterium content altogether. This not only has implications for overall health, but countless diseases and cancers as well.

Every so often people reach out to me and request that I cover a particular topic, relative to our favorite subjects on this podcast. So today we are going to take a deep dive into some of those topics that were requested by some of your fellow TRLR listeners. The first topic is red light therapy (RLT) for tendinopathy (i.e. pain from overuse in tendons), where I discuss the mechanisms of how RLT has the potential to help heal this type of an injury, review the most relevant research and then provide some practical application for what a real treatment would look like with a RLT devce.The second topic is how to apply The Mitochondrial Triad for fertility. I first examine the role that mitochondrial dysfunction plays in facilitating low fertility rates and then scrutinize how/why RLT, methylene blue and C60 may have efficacious, profound potential for improving and optimizing fertility — both from the female and male perspective. I also offer some practical application for each aspect of The Mitochondrial for women and men. If you found the information in today's episode particularly interesting and/or compelling, please share it with a family member, friend, colleague and/or anyone that you think could benefit and be illuminated by this knowledge.

Methylene blue (MB) has gained some massive exposure the last couple of months and is seemingly one of the hottest topics; and not just in biohacking and longevity circles, but even amongst general health and wellness enthusiasts. This exponential rise in MB is largely due to a handful of viral social media posts the last couple of months, which then prompted many influencers and/or medical professionals to voice their opinions and/or concern surrounding MB. There is some great info being circulated, but, needless to say, there is also a lot of misinformation being propagated.I wanted to take to the mic and address some of this misinformation and concern head-on. One issue that I see arise is around the quality of MB and, more specifically, the fact that MB can be derived from petroleum substances. Notice how I said, "can be." Yes, different industrial use cases may obtain their MB from petroleum-based sources, but is not the same MB that would be considered safe for human consumption. Also, there is a notion going around that you can make "homemade" leucomethyene blue simply be adding vitamin C to MB. I explain why this is a half-truth and does not lead to the same quality, purity, stability, bioavailability or effectiveness in mitochondria.The study covered in today's episode demonstrates how the mitochondria are being recognized as an integral therapeutic target for traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). That would mean a.) mitochondrial dysfunction is a large part of the brain damage (and, thus, recovery) associated with TBIs and, presumably, other head trauma, such as concussions; and b.) anything that can improve mitochondrial function, particularly things that can positively affect the brain, has a large potential role to play in the recovery from TBIs and other head trauma. The Mitochondrial Triad ticks all of those boxes.

I thoroughly enjoy taking deep dives with experts in the realm of quantum and circadian biology. It's one of the few times I get to truly geek out on some of the nuances of mitochondria and how light, water and magnetism impacts our wellness and longevity. Today's guest, Oksana Hansen, ticks all of those boxes and then some, as she has quite the origin story and health journey that led her to becoming a quantum and circadian health expert and, ultimately, a quantum clinician. So not only can she speak from didactic knowledge, but she can also pull from her experience treating clients.Oksana's personal health challenges, including a cancer diagnosis, led her to become an advocate for her own health. This experience propelled her into extensive research, focusing on understanding the root causes of health issues rather than merely addressing symptoms. Her exploration into quantum and circadian biology highlighted the significance of aligning with natural biological rhythms for overall well-being.In addition to her role at Quantum Lens Wellness, Oksana hosts the “Quantum Lens Podcast,” where she discusses topics related to quantum biology, circadian rhythms, and holistic health practices.Through her work, Oksana Hansen continues to inspire and guide individuals towards achieving optimal health by harmonizing with the natural elements of light, water, and magnetism. If you found the information in today's episode with Oksana Hansen particularly interesting and/or compelling, please share it with a family member, friend, colleague and/or anyone that you think could benefit and be illuminated by this knowledge.

They discuss their childhood experiences with nature, the healing power of the natural world, and how these elements intertwine with heartbreak and transformation. The dialogue emphasizes the importance of grounding and earthing, as well as the lessons learned from nature in navigating life's challenges and finding authentic love beyond romantic relationships. In this engaging conversation, Jane Garnett and Alex explore the profound themes of listening, self-discovery, and the importance of connecting with nature. They discuss the art of listening as a means of personal growth, the necessity of facing discomfort and emotions, and the role of kindness in human relationships. The dialogue also delves into practical ways to connect with nature, even in urban settings, and concludes with Alex's aspirations for his future work and a whimsical vision of a heartfelt celebration. takeaways Intimacy is a central theme in personal connections.

More often than not on this podcast, we have the privilege of listening to and learning from health, wellness, biohacking, longevity experts talk about the latest research, health hacks, books, projects, conferences, stories/anecdotes, clinical experience, etc. And there is so much to glean from those episodes and practical applications for your own wellness regimens. Today's episode with former NFL player, Landon Cohen, provides a very well-rounded conversation on health and wellness from a very unique perspective and from someone that was literally in the trenches as a pro football player.While Landon is a wildly successful entrepreneur today, which is a grind in its own right, his days as an NFL defensive lineman (and, of course, the years and year of collegiate and high school football) took a major toll on his body and, even more so, his mind and brain. This is secondary to the perpetual banging of pads and helmets every single play between the offensive and defensive lineman. Being drafted in 2008, Landon played in an era where the repercussions of concussions was not yet on the radar in football. Fast forward to early last year, Landon was recommended by a friend to try some BioBlue and red light therapy to see if it would help with his post-NFL body and mind. According to Landon, BioBlue played a major role in regaining his sharp mind and cognition/focus, while the red light therapy (combined with the BioBlue) helped reduce so lingering aches and pains. Needless to say, he is a massive advocate of both modalities. Along with discussing his experience with MB and RLT, Landon talks about the differences between his health and wellness mindset as an NFL player vs. his mindset in his post-NFL life, his desire and motivation to live a "clean lifestyle", how/why he wakes up around 3 every morning to start his day, his viewpoints on diet/food and some other fun topics, such as crypto, blockchain, AI and much, much more!If you found the information in today's episode with Landon Cohen particularly interesting and/or compelling, please share it with a family member, friend, colleague and/or anyone that you think could benefit and be illuminated by this knowledge.

Red light therapy and eye health always seems to be a hot topic and somewhat polarizing. On one side, there is all of this amazing photobiomodulation research demonstrating the eye health benefits via RLT. On the other hand, aren't you supposed to wear protective goggles when you do your red light therapy?I discuss my thoughts on the above, and more, when I dive into today's first study that looks at red light therapy for low-to-moderate myopia. I also discuss the physiology and pathology that leads to early onset (and, by nature, full blown) myopia. Hint, hint — blue light may play a critical role. I outline what I would do for an eye treatment and provide insight as to what someone should consider in a device if eye health is the main motivation.In the second article that is hot sizzling off the press, we take a special detour to look at the impact of violet light and its photobiomodulation effects on depression. There is some fun rabbit holes secondary to this study, such as learning the impact of violet light for circadian rhythm, the role of OPN5 (a special neuropsin that plays a role in depression) and much more!

Did you know that the metal filling in your mouth essentially functions as an antenna for nnEMFs (i.e. cell phones)? That's not good for your mitochondria. And if you have a mercury filling, did you know that every time you chew food you are causing mercury vapor to be released that you then breathe in? Think of all the deleterious effects from those two instances along.Every time I talk to biological dentists, I am always impressed with just how much our oral cavity impacts our entire system; and today's conversation with brother biological dentists from Smilebody, Dr. Shawn Javid and Dr. Shawn Javid, is another insightful look into how and why we need to be taking our oral hygiene and health more seriously for overall wellness.Countless people are dealing with brain fog, cardiac dysfunction, low back pain, hormonal issues and so much more than can be directly tied to an underlying root cause issue in their mouth that has never been considered. Many of the aforementioned issues are "patched up" with drugs, surgeries, and other modalities — even something like red light therapy — that may help stem the tide or provide temporary relief, but not attack the root cause of something like a cavitation, infected root canal, metal dental work in the mouth, an infected jaw bone or leaky gums. The Javid brothers founded their renowned holistic dental practice, Smilebody, in Los Angeles where they have patients that fly in from all over the country because of their impeccable skillset as biological dentists and also because of their unique knowledge base and perspective that allows them to embody a whole-body paradigm versus treating the oral cavity in isolation. Their incorporation of effective, efficacious biohacking modalities also lends their clientele to receiving an unparalleled, comprehensive treatment.

In the first half, filmmaker Max Lebow joined Richard Syrett (Twitter) to discuss The Final War, a gripping podcast series chronicling Lebow's experience being targeted, stalked, and manipulated by a shadowy group claiming to be dissidents of the Chinese Military. While struggling to find work as an actor, Lebow began receiving unsettling Instagram messages suggesting he was being surveilled. These bizarre communications asked him to act as a mole and gather sensitive information. Feeling pressured and lacking a clear sense of purpose at the time, he agreed.As the requests escalated, he found himself gathering information from a COVID testing site, feeling torn between the thrill involved and the looming threat of serving hard time. "I started to think, could this be a crime?" he reflected. Lebow recounted the moment he decided to push back against their demands, prompted by a conversation with his girlfriend, Julia. She challenged him by asking, "Don't you want to know the answers?"This pivotal moment led him to contact the FBI, fearing he might be committing treason. Lebow described the anxiety of being interviewed by federal agents. "I was shaking in my boots," he admitted. He asked them directly if he had done something wrong, to which they reassuringly replied, "It's a good thing you brought this to us, and not the other way around."According to Lebow, his podcast The Final War provides a detailed, first-person account of his ordeal, featuring reenactments of his conversations with a hacker and interviews with friends and experts. "I wanted the audience to kind of have my experience," he explained. Listeners can find The Final War on all major podcast platforms.------------------In the second half, philanthropist Elisabeth Carson shared her research into the transformative power of earthing and trauma healing. Earthing, or grounding, involves connecting directly with the Earth's surface to improve health. "When you connect to the earth, you feel your body shift out of a stress state and go into a more calm, relaxed state," Carson explained. She claimed the practice is based on the absorption of negative ions—electrons that she said help reduce chronic inflammation and promote overall wellbeing.Carson traced the decline in people's health back to the 1970s, coinciding with the widespread adoption of rubber-soled shoes that disconnect individuals from the Earth. She stressed the importance of reconnecting with nature, suggesting that even 20 to 30 minutes of grounding daily can lead to significant improvements in mood and stress levels.Carson also shared her personal journey into earthing, which began with her own struggles with chronic pain and stress. After experimenting with grounding products, she experienced remarkable benefits, including improved sleep and reduced anxiety. "I woke up with zero pain in my body," she recounted.Another striking story involved her friend Brisa, who had suffered a severe stroke and was locked in her body for 11 months. During a meeting with other earthing experts, Brisa was grounded using a patch. Carson described the immediate change in Brisa's voice and color as "astonishing", saying that "for the first time, she was able to eat solid food and sleep through the night."

He asked them directly if he had done something wrong, to which they reassuringly replied, "It's a good thing you brought this to us, and not the other way around."According to Lebow, his podcast The Final War provides a detailed, first-person account of his ordeal, featuring reenactments of his conversations with a hacker and interviews with friends and experts. "I wanted the audience to kind of have my experience," he explained. Listeners can find The Final War on all major podcast platforms.------------------In the second half, philanthropist Elisabeth Carson shared her research into the transformative power of earthing and trauma healing. Earthing, or grounding, involves connecting directly with the Earth's surface to improve health. "When you connect to the earth, you feel your body shift out of a stress state and go into a more calm, relaxed state," Carson explained. She claimed the practice is based on the absorption of negative ions—electrons that she said help reduce chronic inflammation and promote overall wellbeing.Carson traced the decline in people's health back to the 1970s, coinciding with the widespread adoption of rubber-soled shoes that disconnect individuals from the Earth. She stressed the importance of reconnecting with nature, suggesting that even 20 to 30 minutes of grounding daily can lead to significant improvements in mood and stress levels.Carson also shared her personal journey into earthing, which began with her own struggles with chronic pain and stress. After experimenting with grounding products, she experienced remarkable benefits, including improved sleep and reduced anxiety. "I woke up with zero pain in my body," she recounted.Another striking story involved her friend Brisa, who had suffered a severe stroke and was locked in her body for 11 months. During a meeting with other earthing experts, Brisa was grounded using a patch. Carson described the immediate change in Brisa's voice and color as "astonishing", saying that "for the first time, she was able to eat solid food and sleep through the night."
In the first half, filmmaker Max Lebow joined Richard Syrett (Twitter) to discuss The Final War, a gripping podcast series chronicling Lebow's experience being targeted, stalked, and manipulated by a shadowy group claiming to be dissidents of the Chinese Military. While struggling to find work as an actor, Lebow began receiving unsettling Instagram messages suggesting he was being surveilled. These bizarre communications asked him to act as a mole and gather sensitive information. Feeling pressured and lacking a clear sense of purpose at the time, he agreed.As the requests escalated, he found himself gathering information from a COVID testing site, feeling torn between the thrill involved and the looming threat of serving hard time. "I started to think, could this be a crime?" he reflected. Lebow recounted the moment he decided to push back against their demands, prompted by a conversation with his girlfriend, Julia. She challenged him by asking, "Don't you want to know the answers?"This pivotal moment led him to contact the FBI, fearing he might be committing treason.

David Horinek has become a resident guest on the podcast — and for good reason. He is one of the most brilliant minds when it comes to creating and innovating technologies centered around utilizing frequencies for healing and manipulating light to positively impact other aspects of our world. He is the definition of "thinking outside the box".Perpetually working on a myriad of projects simultaneously amongst his companies, he has now (along with yours truly) put his efforts towards creating the world's best toothpaste! During our conversation in today's episode, he drops some teasers about the toothpaste and why it will be an unmatched product on the market. David credits his mentor, whom he describes as a "savant physicist", that we worked with for 20 years for providing him not only with the incredible depth of knowledge that he possesses that allows him to create all of his amazing frequency innovations, but even more so for the way he thinks outside of the box; of as David put it: "I don't have a box."David is the brilliant mind that helped me create what is now today the BioCream, as well as assisted me with the design and formulas of the BioBlue and BioC60 product lines. We have commenced our next venture together with a leading-edge toothpaste. Stay tuned about the toothpaste your teeth and oral cavity have been waiting for!If you found the information in today's episode with David Horinek particularly interesting and/or compelling, please share it with a family member, friend, colleague and/or anyone that you think could benefit and be illuminated by this knowledge.

Now that we have flipped the calendar to 2025, it's traditional to make resolutions — or more so, well-intentioned goals that fizzle out by the end of the first or second month of the year. Sound familiar? In fact, researchers suggest that only 9% of Americans that make resolutions complete them. Not surprisingly, about 50% of New Year's resolutions are centered around weight loss goals.Weight loss any time of the year can be a difficult, seemingly elusive aspiration. And with as many diet and health books that are published yearly, you would expect someone to have cracked the code to the holy grail of simple weight loss. Unfortunately, rates of being overweight and obese continue to trend up, up and away, particularly in the US. Is this a health problem that can be tackled by optimizing mitochondrial function? The answer is.... a resounding, YES!From a mitochondrial health perspective, effective weight loss strategies focus on enhancing mitochondrial function, increasing energy production, and improving metabolic flexibility. Healthy mitochondria play a crucial role in fat oxidation, energy efficiency, and metabolic balance.In today's episode, I review the mitochondrial benefits of a 24-hour fast, take a deep dive into (the virtually unknown hormone) leptin and its profound impact on weight management and then finish with the top 10 weight loss strategies from a mitochondrial perspective.

Here is another top episode from this past amazing year of podcast guests on The Red Light Report! - As methylene blue becomes more and more popular, it becomes paramount to seek out and learn from trusted sources and experts in the area. Luckily, I was able to sit down and have a fireside chat with the highly-respected and sought out osteopathic family physician, Dr. Yoshi Rahm. What I appreciate about Dr. Yoshi is that he not only speaks about methylene blue from a high-level, didactic perspective, but he can offer invaluable insight and wisdom since he utilizes IV methylene blue with his patients in his clinic. What Dr. Yoshi really drives home about methylene blue is really just how safe it is, even at doses much higher than you would expect!Thanks to our mutual connection of Dr. Katie Carter, whom plays host in this episode and suggested that Dr. Yoshi and I meet and discuss all things methylene blue, we have an engaging and spirited discussion about methylene blue and also leucomethylene blue, which Dr. Yoshi was less familiar with due to their being a lack of available product on the market (until BioBlue Leuco!). We also cover other topics, such as the new RLT treatment protocol ecosystem I am about to release and why I believe it will become a ubiquitous tool and resource for anyone and everyone that utilizes red light therapy. My hope is that you come away from this conversation with more excitement, belief and/or trust in methylene blue after listening and learning from Dr. Yoshi. He is a wealth of knowledge and I have no doubt we will be having more of these conversations on the podcast in the future.I hope you enjoy the conversation today with Dr. Yoshi Rahm.

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 purposesI hope you enjoy the conversation today with Dr. Motely.
