Podcasts about irlen method

This week on The Red Light Report we are going to gain a novel perspective on light and learn just how much it can affect our perceptual processing. Known by many names, including Irlen Syndrome, visual stress, and scotopic sensitivity, the symptoms that can be helped with color are wide-ranging and appear in many different populations, including those with migraines, brain injury, concussion, ADHD, autism, and learning difficulties. Interestingly and luckily, this debilitating condition can be quickly and effectively reversed by colored overlays and spectral lenses. I was able to sit down with Terry Carlson, a seasoned Irlens diagnostician, to take a deep dive into Irlen Syndrome and how she goes about diagnosing and treating this condition with the science of color! Backed by over 40 years of research, Irlen is the pioneer and global leader in spectral filter color lens technology. This innovative, breakthrough solution has helped millions of adults and children around the world. With hundreds of certified providers in 46 countries around the world, Irlen is the original creator of colored lens treatment for light-based, visual processing difficulties.    The Irlen Method has earned millions of fans by providing a long-term, expertly-developed solution for reading problems, headaches, migraines, light sensitivity, ADD and ADHD, autism, and many other light-based difficulties–by directly addressing a core problem: the brain's inability to process visual information and specific wavelengths of light.   This is a very interesting conversation and will make you see light through a new lens and, perhaps, the signs and symptoms may be similar to what you are currently experiencing. Be sure to look into Irlen Syndrome via the links below and share this information with any family members/friends that may be dealing with. Take the self test, it's free and may put you on the right path to recovery. Enjoy this episode and, as always, light up your health! - Key points: Intro: (0:00) Terry's background: (2:27) Irlen Syndrome symptoms and treatments: (6:54) Diagnosing Irlen Syndrome: (7:46) The hereditary aspect of Irlen Syndrome: (10:36) Seeking out diagnosticians: (12:20) Depth perception: (19:36) Sample distortions of what the disorder looks like: (21:54) Perceptual processing disorder: (23:06) The "treatment process" and determining the right color to use: (24:32) What's going on in the brain for these patients: (33:36) How long the syndrome has been around: (35:09) The discovery of Irlen Syndrome treatments: (36:49) Synergistic treatments: (42:15) Light sensitivities: (46:04) Processing light correctly: (48:38) The number of clinicians worldwide: (51:05) Choosing the colors: (52:09) Being in tune with your body: (54:18) Attention issues in school: (55:10) Light and its role in health in general: (57:41) - Watch this episode on YouTube - Relevant Links:https://irlen.comhttps://www.irlensyndrome.org/ Irlen Syndrome Self Tests Irlen Syndrome Sample Distortions - Preorder the updated, upgraded ReCharge panel today! - Check out the Kindle version of Red Light Therapy Treatment Protocols eBook, 4th Edition - To learn more about red light therapy and shop for the highest-quality red light therapy products, visit https://www.biolight.shop - Dr. Mike's #1 recommendation for grounding products: Earthing.com - Stay up-to-date on social media: Dr. Mike Belkowski: Instagram LinkedIn   BioLight: Instagram YouTube Facebook

This week's guest is Dr. Helen Irlen, who is an expert in -- and the discoverer of -- Irlen Syndrome. This syndrome is a visual processing problem that can cause symptoms including headaches, difficulty reading, sleepiness while reading, a shortened attention span, and more. She, Irlen Syndrome, and the Irlen Method have been featured on 60 Minutes, The Doctors, Good Morning America, BBC, 60 Minutes Australia, and more. Find Out More About Helen Here: Irlen.comThe Irlen Institute @SeeIrlen on Twitter In This Episode: [02:17] - Helen explains why she likes talking about Irlen Syndrome. [03:23] - Irlen Syndrome is a kind of visual processing problem. In other words, the problem isn’t with the eyes themselves. [04:25] - Up to 48% of certain populations have Irlen Syndrome. In the general population, around 26% of people have it. [05:11] - What are some of the symptoms of Irlen Syndrome that show up in everyday life?

Don’t buy into what other people have said to you about yourself. 3. Give yourself a hug everyday and tell yourself how wonderful you are. Your Pre-Flight Checklist: Practice becoming a better listener. Do your best to set your own issues and thoughts aside to become a blank slate and listen to what the person you’re talking to is actually saying. Think about how you feel after you’ve been focused on reading for a while. If you experience physical symptoms, you may fall on the Irlen Syndrome continuum. Take the “Long Self-Test for Irlen Syndrome.” This test will help you determine whether you’re one of the many people unknowingly suffering from Irlen Syndrome.
