Podcast appearances and mentions of mike belkowski

In this in-depth conversation, Dr. Mike Belkowski reunites with Chris Burres, co-founder of SES Research and the original supplier of the carbon 60 (C60) used in the historic 2012 French longevity study where Wistar rats lived 90% longer than the control group. This episode centers around the rebranding of BioLight's C60 product to BioESS60, with an emphasis on scientific rigor, quality assurance, and consumer safety.   Chris and Dr. Mike unpack why the C60 supplement market has become compromised, how the name ESS60 (Elemental Safe Spheres) was created to separate quality-controlled, biologically safe carbon 60 from industrial or fraudulent versions, and what the latest science suggests about its mechanism of action inside the mitochondria.   Chris introduces the BOSS Theory — Buffering Oxidative Stress System — explaining how ESS60 functions as a selective antioxidant that targets negatively charged ROS without interfering with redox signaling. This distinguishes it from traditional antioxidants like vitamin C or E, which are non-selective and degrade after use. Chris compares ESS60 to a “molecular sponge” that protects the cell's internal “prairie” from the torrential stress “storms” of modern life.   Alongside that, the two discuss how ESS60 and methylene blue may have synergistic roles in mitochondrial optimization — MB enhances ATP production efficiency, while ESS60 buffers the resulting oxidative stress. The conversation also touches on the evolving understanding of nitric oxide (NO) signaling and how not all NO inhibition is necessarily harmful — especially when considering MB's selective inhibition of inducible NO synthase (iNOS).

Sharing is caring :)As always, light up your health! - Key Quotes: “ESS60 is a selective antioxidant — it buffers only the negatively charged reactive oxygen species that cause damage, while preserving the signaling functions of the others.” – Chris Burres   “Taking something in the morning and positively impacting sleep at night — that's not normal. But that's what people consistently report with ESS60.” – Chris Burres “The supplement industry is the Wild West. That's why we're creating separation between industrial-grade C60 and ultra-clean, biologically safe S60.” – Dr. Mike Belkowski - Key Points: 00:00 – Introduction: C60 vs. ESS60 and Mitochondrial Health Focus 01:17 – Guest Intro: Chris Burres and the 2012 Longevity Study 03:05 – Biohacking Conferences: Networking and New Tech Insights 05:36 – Nano Oxygen Bubbles: A Hyperbaric Alternative 17:35 – ESS60 Explained: Benefits and Mechanisms 30:06 – Buffering Oxidative Stress: The Boss Theory 44:41 – C60 vs. ESS60: Navigating the Supplement Market 48:43 – Exposing Fraud in the C60 Space: Safety Concerns 52:29 – The Switch to ESS60: Ensuring Consumer Safety 56:27 – Purity and Processing: Why ESS60 is Different 1:00:11 – Dosage and Long-Term Use of ESS60 1:06:19 – Cycling ESS60: Is It Necessary? 1:10:55 – ESS60 and Cancer: Preventative Potential 1:15:27 – Current Research: CRP Study and Future Directions 1:21:49 – Closing Thoughts: Integrity in Health and Wellness - Where to learn more from and about Chris Burres: Instagram LinkedInBook by Chris Burres:Living Longer and Better - Upcoming BioLight Events:   Returning to Nature (Quantum Health Retreat), June 26 - 27 (Franklin, TN) - Officially introducing......

Dr. Mike shares his journey into physical therapy and how dissatisfaction with the traditional medical system led him to explore alternative treatments like dry needling, cupping, blood flow restriction, and eventually red light therapy.He explains the science behind red light therapy, emphasizing its ability to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and boost mitochondrial health. Red light and near-infrared light both penetrate the body to stimulate energy production in mitochondria, which is key for overall health. Dr. Mike also touches on the importance of proper dosage, revealing that many popular red light therapy devices don't provide accurate power measurements, which can lead to ineffective treatments.The conversation dives into practical considerations, such as how red light therapy can improve skin health, treat pain, and even enhance cognitive function. Dr. Mike highlights the difference between using red light therapy for surface-level treatments (like skin) versus deeper tissues (like the brain and joints), and offers guidance on choosing the right devices depending on personal needs. He also addresses common misconceptions, such as the idea that more red light therapy is always better.Brad and Dr. Mike wrap up by discussing BioLite's products, including portable devices and more extensive full-body panels, and how users can incorporate red light therapy into their daily routines. Dr. Mike introduces his "protocol ecosystem," a free tool on the BioLite website that helps users determine the optimal duration for their red light therapy sessions based on the device's light irradiance and the condition being treated.Overall, the episode provides a thorough and engaging discussion about the science and practical applications of red light therapy, focusing on its potential to boost mitochondrial health, reduce inflammation, and support overall wellness.If you're interested in online personal training or being a guest on my podcast, "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," you can reach me at brad@over40fitnesshacks.com or visit my website at:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comAdditionally, check out my Yelp reviews for my local business, Evolve Gym in Huntington Beach, at https://bit.ly/3GCKRzV

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.

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.

For quite some time now, ever since entering the world of red light therapy  — but particularly when getting into the realm of methylene blue  — I've wondered what nitric oxide's true impact on our body and wellness is. For the vast majority of my life, I was under the belief that all nitric oxide = good. That was ingrained at an early age with the countless pre-workout supplements I was taking during my heavy lifting days during high school through college. But it didn't stop there. The message of nitric oxide = good and that "more is better" has been perpetuated in the wellness, and even longevity, industries by countless experts and influencers.But how is that possible if one of methylene blue's main actions is nitric oxide inhibition? How is that possible if nitric oxide is a free radical and an environmental pollutant and, thus, is effectively an "electron stealer"?For whatever reason, I have never been able to get a straight answer from anyone on this topic. But serendipitously, I was recently reading a book that provided the most clearcut and sensible explanation that would allow for nitric oxide to be both "good" and "bad". The book is Methylene Blue: Magic Bullet: The Ultimate Mitochondrial Support, by Dr. John Lieurance. As I learned from the book, it turns out that nitric oxide is quite similar to how inflammation can be both a positive and a negative for our physiology; but with some additional nuances through in there. Today's episode is about nitric oxide and the roles it plays in our wellness and what the best strategies are for best harnessing the "good" nitric oxide while downregulating the "bad" nitric oxide.  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.

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 goals.Part of the education process of learning about this new protocol ecosystem is about the profound importance of utilizing a third party tested RLT device. I cannot underscore the importance of this, which is why I emphasize it in the eBook in this section of the eBook. There is no way of getting around the significance of using a third party tested device, as one of the two main variables required to produce an effective protocol is light irradiance. Without third party testing, your device likely has an over-inflated light irradiance that will inherently throw off the accuracy of your protocol.During the latter part of this episode, we will begin diving into the various health conditions that have been scientifically been proven to be ameliorated via RLT. For each health and wellness condition, we will cover the mechanism(s) of action of how RLT can help improve a given condition and then, secondly, go over snippets of research that demonstrate the benefits of photobiomodulation for a given condition. In today's episode, we will cover the Anxiety, Stress and Depression section.

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 with a different light irradiance, you would have to do some clever calculations to recalibrate your RLT treatment protocol. Thankfully, that is no longer the case.With this newest eBook that is entitled, The Red Light Guide, you now have access to my innovative RLT Treatment Protocol Ecosystem. This ecosystem essentially allows anyone with any RLT device to develop an science-backed, individualized RLT protocol based on what they are trying to treat. Out with the old rigid protocol paradigm, in with the infinitely versatile ecosystem.In today's episode, I begin reading The Red Light Therapy Guide from the very beginning, essentially providing an audiobook version of the eBook. I wade through the Important Concepts and Important Considerations (as it relates to RLT) sections of the eBook, which covers the first ~15 pages of this 130+ page PDF eBook. I will continue reading through this eBook in future solosodes to complete this audio version of the eBook so that you RLT podcast junkies can get your fill of the newest information available.

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 powerful photodynamic capabilities with red light therapy and much more. Yet there is one anti-aging purview related to methylene blue we have not discussed yet: the skin! While it may seem counterintuitive that a blue dye could have such a positive influence on skin health, the research clearly demonstrates that it both improves skin thickness (our skin thins as we age) and skin hydration (likewise, decreases as we chronologically age and contributes to wrinkling). I will cover two different articles that articulate these amazing skin health benefits and more from topical methylene blue.During this episode, I will also review the cutting-edge anti-aging skin ing​redients that BioLight incorporates into our one-of-a-kind skin cream and the role those ingredients play into augmenting skin health. And with that being said, that cream is getting a major update and upgrade to its recipe and will be rebranded to BioCream. And for those that read this far, you'll be one of the first to know that the BioCream is being released this weekend!​​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.

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 known than MB. But trust me when I say that C60 is second place to no one when it comes to optimizing cellular energy and mitochondrial function, which, ultimately leads to efficient energy and biological water production.In today's episode, I want to take a deeper dive into C60 and discuss the science of how it can contribute to mitigating diseases while also markedly boosting healthspan and longevity. For that, we'll be reviewing some of Chris Campbell's book, C60 Science: The God Molecule Hypothesis. Quite the book title, right? But the theory posited by Chris it quite intriguing. Needless to say, after this discussion you will see why C60 earned its spot in The Mitochondrial Triad and should be highly considered for anyone that has a mitochondrion in their body.For the red light therapy side of things, I review an ahead of print photobiomodulation research article (it doesn't get officially published until June!) that looks at treating the gut and brain ​to help reduce chronic stress. The study produced positive results, including: "combined non-invasive photobiomodulation partially restores some gut microbiota dysbiosis induced by chronic stress." Combine this with the vagus nerve treatment via RLT that we learned last week from Abe and we have another triad — this one being a triad of RLT locations to help reduce stress. Non-invasive and non-pharmacological.

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 reach peak performance and/or improve their overall health status. This is one of the more interesting conversations I've had in quite some time!Abe and I met at the HYDRATE Summit that was put on by Tracy Duhs a couple of weekends ago. We were there to learn about water, but he and I got to talking and soon discovered that we shared countless other mutual interests. After hearing about his novel techniques for successfully helping his clients, some of which are seemingly beyond simplistic (but have deep neurological basis), I knew I had to have him on the podcast so that he could share his knowledge and stories with you all. He even walked me through a couple of quick assessments/treatments that I can use on myself, including how to treat my vagus nerve with red light therapy! Isn't that something we could all benefit from in this fast-paced, high-stress world we live in?Abe Al-Baba is the author of Fuel Your Performance™ and CEO of 3 in 1 Elite, a sports performance company. His absolute passion is paving the way to a healthy lifestyle through fitness and nutrition. Abe is one of San Diego's Top Trainer's by Discover/Pacific SD Magazine.

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.

Ever curious about what results people in the "real world" are achieving with red light therapy? Well this past week on BioLight's Instagram page, we had a feed post to elicit some responses and, oh boy, did it ever. So much that I felt compelled to highlight some of the comments left by people to showcase the variety of ways people are successfully utilizing red light therapy to benefit their health and wellness. From vision to numerous skin health benefits to excelling in exercise/lifting to improving children's sleep and more!The proverbial meat and potatoes of this episode is introducing and learning about methylene blue's reduced version, leucomethylene blue. This is what your body intrinsicly processes methylene blue into that is ingested, but there are some major advantages to taking leucomethylene blue. It's almost instantly bioavailable (as your body does not have to break it down, as it does with MB), the antioxidant effect is nearly immediate (for the same reason) and it has even less toxins than MB (since reducing the MB to leucoMB further removes any metals, toxins. etc; but keep in mind that pharmaceutical grade MB is already very pure. This is only to say the leucoMB is inherently more pure because of it being further reduced and, thus further purified).The above advantages have led to the following personal anecdotal responses since I started using leucomethylene blue: a more rapid cognitive/focus boost and enhanced exercise performance (I have found leucoMB to function essentially as a pre-workout, but without all the junk and jitters. Just clean energy!).After being introduced to leucoMB, I then cover a couple of studies that demonstrate its massive efficacy, particularly as it relates to neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's Disease. We already know that most of the methylene blue ingested ends up in the brain — which is no different for leucoMB — but it appears that leucoMB may have a more pronounced effect. I have no doubt that as time goes on, we'll more more and more about the advantages of methylene blue and leucomethylene blue.Lastly, I announce the release of BioLight's newest supplement: BioBlue Leuco. At the time of this solosode release, this product will be released within the next 24 hours, so stay tuned for more updates! I hope you enjoy the information in today's solosode.

Huzzah! Another week, another solosode and more research to delve into and learn from. Just what the doctor ordered...​​But before we cover research, I thought it would be worth our while to learn from the Finnish biohacking experts  — one of which is previous TRLR guest, Dr. Olli Sovijärvi  — in their massive tome, Biohacker's Handbook. Specifically, I thought it would be great provide you with some strategies and tactics for your sauna sessions via a sauna protocol they provide in the book. It's a protocol I've used myself over the years and works wonders for detoxing.On the research side of things, we first dive into an interesting study that looks at pretreatment with methylene blue in neonatals to reduce toxin-induced brain and cognitive deficits. While it may not seem like the most relatable topic, there are a lot of great take away points from the article that I discuss. The second article thoroughly addresses how the combination of our gut microbiome and dybiosis along with dysfunctional mitochondria and suppressed NAD+ levels set the stage for the dreaded milieu of chronic symptoms associated with Long COVID. While they don't provide solutions for the issues they highlight, it's safe to say that both red light therapy and methylene blue have a major role to play with the road to recovery from Long COVID, based on the root causes outlined in the article.

One of the more common questions I get asked, as it relates to red light therapy, is how is it different than infrared saunas? Do they elicit the same health benefits? Which one is "better"? If I had to choose one, which modality should I use? Understandably, the major hangup and confusion comes from both technologies integrating infrared light... granted of different flavors of infrared and, thus, different physiological responses.We cover the basics of what infrared saunas are, the difference between traditional vs. infrared saunas, discuss the ​top 10 benefits derived from consistent hyperthermia treatment and more. Possibly, most importantly, I delineate the differences between infrared saunas and red light therapy and emphasize the importance of not doing red light therapy and sauna simultaneously! This is especially important to understand and appreciate, as I have seen more and more often that infrared sauna companies are incorporating red light therapy (either for ambience lighting and/or actual red light therapy panels and other devices inside of the sauna). Long story short: the heat from the sauna inhibits the benefits you would otherwise obtain from red light therapy. ​​ Lastly, we will cover a very, very hot-off-the-press photobiomodulation research article that looks at red light therapy for treating children with premyopia. In a world with exponentially increased screen time, particularly in youths, any type of alternative modality to help prevent, stave off and reverse eye and vision issues ​is a massive deal. If you have eyes, this study has some groundbreaking results that you will want to learn about. I hope you enjoy the information in today's solosode. Please share this episode with family, friends and colleagues if you find the content especially interesting and/or impactful.​​ As always, light up (and sweat out) your health! - Introduction and Weather Update (00:00:00): Dr. Mike Belkowski welcomes listeners to another episode of the Red Light Report.

Did you know red light therapy is a hormetic stressor to our cells similar to exercise? This week on The Red Light Report, we are going to review some of the fundamentals of red light therapy that include the two proposed mechanisms of how red light therapy actually works. And while you may already understand some of the basic concepts, I think there will be plenty of new, in-depth information that will add some color to your current red light therapy knowledge.Especially living in the Information Age, we hear/read/listen to so much information all of the time, that we rarely ingrain any of it. That's why repetition of the same information, particularly when its presented in different ways will lead to a deeper understanding and application of the knowledge. In today's episode, I will cover the mechanisms for how red light therapy works; both the agreed upon mechanisms (boosting mitochondrial function and hormesis) and the theoretical mechanisms (water as a photoacceptor and chlorophyll metabolites in our blood leading to increased light absorption and energy production). All of it is very fascinating and speaks to the various ways that light, especially red and near-infrared light, can positively impact our physiology.While listening to the information in this episode, consider what lifestyle changes you could make to further optimize your mitochondrial health (structured water and green veggies/supplements, anyone?). As always, light up your health and enjoy! - Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following: Intro: (0:00) How red light therapy works: (1:54) The ultimate guide to red light therapy - Ari Whitten: (4:35) Two key mechanisms of red & near-infrared light therapy: (7:00) Mechanism #1 - stimulating mitochondrial production: (8:05) Where red light therapy does most "magic": (14:36) How red light therapy really works: (15:23) Red light therapy lets oxygen into the mitochondria: (22:41) Mechanism #2 - The hormetic response: (24:34) Red light therapy mimics exercise: (28:14) Potential mechanisms: (29:16) Capturing sunlight energy: (35:19) CoQ10: (36:01) Near-infrared penetrates deeper: (38:44) Benefits of consuming chlorophyll: (41:48) The scientific consensus: (43:55) - Book referenced in the episode: The Ultimate Guide To Red Light Therapy - Ari Whitten - Check out BioLight's newest device: the Glow! - 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 - Stay up-to-date on social media: Dr. Mike Belkowski: Instagram LinkedIn   BioLight: Instagram YouTube Facebook

A couple of weeks ago on a solosode, you heard me speak about how many red light therapy companies are misrepresenting (either intentionally or not) their product's light irradiance. This has been an ongoing issue in the industry that is much more rampant that you would want to believe. On this week's solosode of The Red Light Report, I will tell you how BioLight is going to set a new standard for product transparency in the red light therapy industry.​​Now this is not intended to be "calling out" other companies. More accurately, BioLight wants to raise the bar for its own standards and, ultimately, see a positive shift in the red light therapy industry as a whole as a ripple effect. In the end, this would only benefit consumer. I will also cover two exciting pieces of photobiomodulation research. This first study is the definition of "hot off the press," as it just dropped on 4/16! On top of that, it is a very compelling piece of research that looks into vascular photobiomodulation for spinal cord injury. ​So we get two discuss two novel topics relative to red light therapy: vascular RLT and spinal cord injuries.The second article is a review of the literature on photobiomodulation for inflammation and also acute and chronic. This ​goes into depth on a myriad of specific conditions related to pain (i.e., non-specific low back pain, post-surgical pain, knee osteoarthritis and much more). So it paints a great picture of just how much red light therapy can benefit pain of virtually all types.​Enjoy the information in this episode. My hope is that you continue to find the unfolding story of red light therapy as interesting and fascinating as I do. As always, light up your health and enjoy! - Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following: Intro: (0:00) Light irradiance: (7:33) Companies aren't reporting the correct light irradiance: (12:21) Red light therapy research: (15:28) Vascular red light therapy: (22:42) Two other studies on fibromyalgia and pain: (31:48) Inflammation: (33:09) Discussion portion of the article: (38:46) Knee osteoarthritis: (40:13) Fibromyalgia: (41:23) Oral pain and inflammation: (44:02) Post-surgery pain and swelling: (44:56) Conclusions of the article: (46:13) - Research article from the episode: Systemic vascular photobiomodulation accelerates the recovery of motor activity in rats following spinal cord injury Efficacy of Photobiomodulation Therapy in the Treatment of Pain and Inflammation: A Literature Review Learn more about these topics and on how RLT can be beneficial:Nerve Injury Pain - Check out BioLight's newest device: the Glow! - 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 - Stay up-to-date on social media: Dr. Mike Belkowski: Instagram LinkedIn   BioLight: Instagram YouTube Facebook

New research shows that you can treat COVID-19 brain fog with red light therapy by either treating the brain directly OR by doing full-body treatments. How cool is that?! On this week's solosode of The Red Light Report, we will dig into three separate photobiomodulation articles that cover an array of topics and continue to add to the depth of our understanding of red light therapy's potential and, equally important, its potential limitations. As I eluded to above, the first article I will report on comes from one of our good friends and former podcast guests, Praveen Arany, on how brain fog secondary to COVID-19 can be treated with red light therapy either transcranially or via full-body treatments. That's awesome to know, as that gives us options and some flexibility en route to positive benefits for this health malady; as far as I'm concerned, it's nice to have options!The second article is for the women out there and/or those that work in the women's health field: transvaginal red light therapy in order to help reduce pain related to interstitial cystitis/ bladder pain syndrome. For many of you, this may be the first time you have heard about red light therapy inside the vagina. However, this type of a treatment has been an option for women for quite some time with many potential health benefits. This is just the first time I have reported on it on the podcast.The last article is about red light therapy and its potential with treating skin cancer. There is a decent amount of overlap with the article we covered last week on RLT and cancer, but it's always great to hear the information from a slightly different vantage point and different researchers. ​​​​It's nice to cover several topics in a single episode to help convey red light therapy's many potentials and versatility. At the very least, it goes to show that darn near anyone and everyone can benefit from a little red light therapy in their lives​.

On this week's episode of The Red Light Report, I unveil BioLight's newest product, the Glow! I detail why the Glow was developed, what makes it special and why it is significantly different than any other handheld red light therapy device on the market. More importantly, I cover one photobiomodulation research article in detail on a topic that I constantly get questions about: cancer. One of the amazing features of red light therapy is that, according to the research, there are zero contraindications for implementing it for a given health condition; that includes cancer. Of course, that comes with the caveat that one should not directly irradiate the site of an active cancer, but can safely treat other parts of the body. And that is not necessarily because irradiating the active cancer site would lead to negative consequences (in some research it has, in others it has actually been beneficial), rather we simply do not know enough to confidently provide guidance on how to best yield red light therapy efficaciously. Said another way, better safe than sorry.With all of that being said, this WALT (World Association for Photobiomodulation Therapy; the "L" used to stand for Laser) paper provides some clarification on the topic of red light therapy and cancer; basically, highlighting what we do and don't know.  At the very least, this provides guide rails, much needed expert perspective on a delicate topic and informs us where we stand in the landscape of red light therapy and cancer. I also have a couple of impromptu rabbit holes I go down, one that includes how many red light therapy companies are inflating their light irradiance as a marketing tactic.With every piece of research we unearth, we only learn more about the amazing healing frequencies of red and near-infrared light. As always, light up your health and enjoy! - Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following: Intro: (0:00) Contraindications?: (2:27) BioLight's newest product The Glow: (5:27) Red light therapy and cancer: (12:45) Photobiomodulation research article: (13:31) Intro to the article out of the frontiers in oncology journal: (14:19) Photobiomodulation parameters: (17:27) Importance of consistent exposure: (22:17) LEDs for home use: (26:18) Light irradiance: (31:23) Red Light therapy and tumors: (35:58) Safety data: (37:44) Human clinical safety data: (39:38) Xerostomia and hyposalivation: (44:40) Bone necrosis: (48:40) Hand-foot syndrome: (49:08) Graft vs host disease: (49:29) Chemotherapy-induced alopecia: (50:59) Cancer treatment and quality of life: (52:29) - Research article from the episode:Photobiomodulation therapy in management of cancer therapy-induced side effects: WALT position paper 2022 Learn more about RLT's benefits for: Cancer - Check out BioLight's newest device: the Glow! - 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 - Stay up-to-date on social media: Dr. Mike Belkowski: Instagram LinkedIn   BioLight: Instagram YouTube Facebook

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.  It felt like this conversation went by in a couple of minutes and Dr. Motley and I could've easily talked for hours longer. However, I am always grateful for his time and the wisdom he is impassioned to share with anyone and everyone that is interested in improving their many aspects of health holistically. Enjoy learning from Dr. Motley and, as always, light up your health! - Dr. Mike Belkowski and Dr. Chris Motley discuss the following:  Intro: (0:16) What's new in his life: (2:57) His interactive membership: (6:12) Avoiding burnout: (8:22) Overworking: (10:31)  Chinese medicine and living by its rules: (12:12) Transitioning into spring out of winter: (15:01) How to know when Chinese medicine is working: (19:01) Being in tune with your body: (21:25)  Emotions tied to the gall bladder: (22:32) Negative gall bladder health and how it manifests in the body: (23:40) Releasing anger: (25:00) Cupping specific areas of the body: (29:03) How hard to press on pressure points: (31:17) Dry needling: (32:46) Taking your health into your own hands (36:48) Red light therapy and Chinese medicine: (39:54) Red light therapy and dry needling: (44:45) Fusing old-age knowledge with new-age technology: (45:58) Translucent needles that can transfer light: (46:59) Acupuncture on a consistent basis for maintaining health and wellness: (49:41) How oral health affects overall wellness: (52:21) - Watch this on YouTube - Listen to our previous conversation from the episode in September 2021, "Energy & Emotions, Frequency Therapy & Acupuncture vs. Dry Needling w/ Dr. Christopher Motley"Apple Podcasts Spotify - Where to Learn More From & About Dr. Chris Motley:   Find him on social media: Instagram @DoctorMotley Facebook @DoctorMotley   Go to his website: DoctorMotley.com - Check out BioLight's new, cutting-edge full-body product: The Adapt System - Save 20% via BioLight Bundles all year long! - 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 - Stay up-to-date on social media: Instagram

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. After that, we will spend the bulk of the episode on one piece of photobiomodulation research that looks at transcranial RLT for treating the brains of four ex-football players with possible chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE. And CTE has become a very hot topic in the NFL, especially ever since the movie, Concussion (starring Will Smith), was released back in 2015. However, the concern regarding CTE in football, other sports and other aspects of life has only grown and remains ever-present to this day.It is also appropriate to recognize that this particular study utilized only four participants, which is very low in the world of research. However, even with that in mind, the results ascertained in this study simply by directing near-infrared light to the brain is unequivocally profound... and the results were achieved in only six weeks!Hopefully you find this episode fascinating and insightful.

Dr. Mike Belkowski talks to us today about the healing effects of red light therapy and infrared light. We learn about the sun's natural infrared healing capacity and why our indoor lifestyle has contributed to our diminished exposure. We discuss the applications of red light therapy and how red light drives energy in the body. If you've been on the fence about trying this type of healing therapy you'll want to give this one a listen! More topics covered in this episode:-Potential of longevity based on genetics -Difference between red and near infrared light-Science of red light Dr. Jack Kruz (infrared researcher)-Are sunglasses harming your health-Near infrared for gut and brain health -Red light and oral health -Frequency of using red light therapy for physical improvements -Light radiance and therapy dosehttps://www.biolight.shop/Dr. Mike Belkowski IG: @dr.mikebelkowskiRed light report podcast: Dr. Mike BelkowskiGet 20% off our NEW Ancient Remedies course & community! https://bit.ly/Ancient-Remedies-Course

Did you know you might be mal-illuminated? If you're not getting enough exposure to full-spectrum UV light (aka soaking up some sun), your cells might not be working as well as they should. Here to *enlighten* us about how our bodies use UV light and how red light therapy can be beneficial is physical therapist and founder/CEO of BioLight, Dr. Mike Belkowski.  We'll go over how red light and infrared light therapy works, some of the things it can be used for, and why we all probably need to get outside more. Let's get juicy! PS - Thanks to Dr. Mike, I started using a travel-sized red light device from his line called the Shine. I became a believer when my digestion was off the day we filmed this podcast, and he told me to put it directly on my stomach for 10 minutes and see if I felt a difference. Not only did my stomach ache get better – my mind felt calmer too, which he explained is because red light therapy works on the gut-brain axis. I've truly loved this device ever since and keep it next to my bed in case I wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep (a few minutes on my forehead or stomach works like a charm to calm my mind down). I've also used it for headaches and a mood boost in the winter months!
