| Mitophysics & Mitochondriac Fundamentals | 04 Sep 2025 | 00:54:45 | |
In this week’s solo episode of The Energy Code, Dr. Mike Belkowski takes listeners back to the fundamentals of mitochondrial health—laying down the foundation for why our environment, circadian alignment, and cellular strategies matter more than almost anything else when it comes to energy, longevity, and resilience.
Drawing from R.D. Lee’s newly released book, The Mitochondriac Manifesto 2, Dr. Mike unpacks the concept of mitophysics — the physics of the mitochondria and our connection to sun, earth, water, and magnetism. He explains why biophysics sits above food, exercise, and even genetics, and how ignoring these primary forces has led to widespread chronic disease and dysfunction. This episode also dives into the six mitochondrial pillars: light and circadian alignment, nutrition and molecules, stressors and adaptation, sleep and recovery, environmental inputs, and mind and nervous system. You’ll hear practical strategies to integrate morning sunlight, red and near-infrared light, clean water, EMF mitigation, breathwork, and more into a mitochondria-centered lifestyle. Expect both a big-picture paradigm shift and a toolkit of actionable health strategies designed to help you protect, support, challenge, and align your mitochondria for limitless vitality. Key Topics Covered:
00:00 – Welcome + why mitochondrial foundations matter 03:00 – Introducing Mitochondria Manifesto 2 14:00 – Biophysics as the “boss” of biology 20:00 – Metaphysics explained: light, water, magnetism & circadian rhythms 22:00 – Six environmental disruptors sabotaging mitochondrial health 26:00 – Why your body isn’t broken—it’s your environment 31:00 – Health is no longer a hobby in a 5G world 39:00 – The six mitochondrial pillars + practical tools 45:00 – Sleep, melatonin, and why supplementation may backfire 48:00 – EMF hygiene and mitochondrial protection 51:00 – Breathwork, vagus nerve, and stress management 53:00 – Closing philosophy: protect, support, challenge, align Resources & References:

| Top 10 Benefits of Methylene Blue | 19 Oct 2023 | 01:31:51 | |
Let's get blue on today's solosode of The Red Light Report! The last couple of weeks you have likely heard and/or learned about BioLight's newest innovative product, BioBlue, which is an enhanced methylene blue and mitochondrial supplement. Some of you are even using it right now! But I felt it would behoove all of us to take a deeper dive into this mysterious synthetic textile dye that happens to seemingly be one of the most profound health, wellness and mitochondrial-boosting substances available. And it is a major synergist when combined with red light therapy!
So today, I thought it would be great to review the top 10 uses for methylene blue, as professed by scientific research. And while I don't want to give away too much in this intro, I feel obliged to tell you a few of the things that I find most exciting and promising about methylene blue:1.) Secondary to its ease of crossing the blood-brain barrier, a vast majority of the methylene blue consumed concentrates in the brain, which is why it has virtually endless brain health benefits (i.e., reduced symptoms of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, dementia, depression, PTSD and improved cognition, mood and energy);2.) Methylene blue has an innate intelligence to help whichever cells are most sick, diseased and/or cancerous first before moving along and helping other healthier cells;3.) There are only two known interventions capable dissociating nitric oxide from the cytochrome c oxidase (which then allows oxygen into the mitochondria for more efficient energy production; remember, the more energy in a cell = less disease state/more vitality in cell): red light therapy and methylene blue.
Remember, none of this information is a substitute for medical advice. But just like when I learned about red light therapy for the first time and was in awe at its endless health benefits, I am equally impressed by the limitless potential of methylene blue. Both are safe, efficacious and likely have a pivotal role to play for anyone looking to optimize their health and longevity.
As always, (red) light up your (blue) health!

| Blue Light Blocking Glasses & The Light Diet w/ Ra Optics founder & CEO, Matt Maruca | 28 Sep 2023 | 02:18:30 | |
Today's guest on The Red Light Report has been a long time coming and a conversation that I have been candidly been looking forward to. For years and years, I have been following Matt Maruca; initially, indirectly through other podcasts with the likes of Ben Greenfield, Dr. Jack Kruse and Luke Storey and then more directly as I repeatedly heard his story and listened him speak so articulately and passionately about how light has impacted his life, literally inside and out. He is wise well beyond his years and our conversation in today's episode is brimming with energy, vibrations and information that is sure to resonate with you to your core.Matt is the founder and CEO of Ra Optics, a blue light blocking glasses company that teaches about the essential role that light plays in health and develops advanced light therapy-based products. He founded Ra Optics after a decade-long personal health journey that ultimately led him to light. The discovery that we are ultimately beings of light has led him to a profound interest in the nature of consciousness and existence itself.In this episode, Matt details his fascinating health journey that led him to founding Ra Optics, he educates us all on how blue-light blocking glasses impacts virtually all aspects of health, why clear lenses do not block blue light, why and when to wear yellow-tinted lenses and orange-/red-tinted lenses, and, a topic he is very wholehearted about, his journey with honing his inner light and why he values that aspect of health over all others. Of course, we talk about much, much more as well! This was easily one of my favorite conversations to date and I know Matt and I could have easily continued for another couple of hours. I have no doubt we will sometime in the near future, as he is so well-versed in light and health and is equally impassioned to share his knowledge with anyone interested in energetically optimizing their health.

| Elevate Your Health with Light, Water & Magnetism w/ Carrie Bennett | 14 Sep 2023 | 00:58:59 | |
Carrie Bennett was the most popular episode of 2022 on The Red Light Report, and I was lucky enough to get the chance to sit down with her again to geek out some more on the quantum side of biology and health. We dig a little deeper into the foundational tenants of quantum health: light, water and magnetism. It is within these three pillars that you must be concentrating the majority of your efforts in order to optimize mitochondrial health and bear the fruit of limitless energy and vitality. You simply need to understand the principles... which is where Carrie's expertise comes in!Carrie discusses some newer topics on today's episode, such as why she is no longer a fan of supplementing vitamin D, along with other analogous "supplements" that our hormones already produced in our body. She delves into the topic of hydration and why she thinks that is one of the most overlooked areas of health and one of the lowest hanging fruits from a quantum energetic perspective. Carrie also discusses how diluted ocean water may be one of the missing links to a more vibrant healthspan.For those of you that haven't listened to that first interview — and even those that have! — I highly recommend going back and listening to it, as Carrie is an absolute expert in quantum health and is an amazing source of information and education (the link for that episode is in the show notes). You can't help but get excited and energized when you hear Carrie talk. Her energy is infectious and her information and quantum education is unparalleled.

| Connecting the Dots with TCM and Mitochondria, Magnetism, & Gut Health w/ Dr. Chris Motley | 26 Jun 2025 | 01:22:20 | |
In this episode of The Red Light Report, Dr. Mike Belkowski sits down with Dr. Chris Motley, a renowned expert in frequency-based medicine and vibrational health. The conversation dives deep into how the body communicates through electrical and energetic signals, and how emotions, pathogens, and toxins disrupt these natural frequencies—ultimately impacting mitochondrial function, chronic illness, and overall health.Dr. Motley introduces the concept of biological resonance, where the body either syncs or falls out of harmony with its environment. He shares how frequency diagnostics and therapies—like sound therapy, Rife frequencies, and muscle testing—can help uncover and treat hidden imbalances. Together, they explore the Eastern and Western integration of medicine, highlighting the importance of energy meridians, the liver’s role in mitochondrial signaling, and how emotions like fear and anger are stored in organ systems.Key topics include:• The connection between mitochondrial dysfunction and trapped emotional energy• How pathogens like Lyme and mold distort biological frequency• Why liver and gallbladder imbalances often precede systemic mitochondrial stress• The use of vibrational therapies, including tuning forks and lasers, in clinical healing• The role of frequencies in detoxification, trauma healing, and bioenergetic coherenceThis episode is a fascinating blend of ancient wisdom and cutting-edge science, offering listeners a fresh lens through which to view energy, health, and longevity. If you found the information in today's episode with Dr. Chris Motley 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. Sharing is caring :)As always, light up your health!- Key Quotes from Dr. Chris Motley: “Mitochondria are like antennas. They pick up signals from pathogens, food, and emotions. If they’re overwhelmed, they stop sending coherent messages.” “The body remembers. If someone hasn’t processed grief, it might be stored in their lungs or colon, showing up as chronic inflammation or fatigue.”“If we can identify the frequency a pathogen or trauma emits, we can match or cancel it, just like noise-canceling headphones.” “Mold and Lyme don’t just infect—they distort your body’s frequency. That’s why they’re so hard to detect and treat with conventional methods.”“If we can identify the frequency a pathogen or trauma emits, we can match or cancel it, just like noise-canceling headphones.” -Key points: 00:00 – Introduction: Dr. Chris Motley Returns for Fourth Episode 01:44 – Building a Friendship Through Shared Health Passion 02:33 – Biohacking Conferences: Trends and Insights 03:09 – Blood Flow and Longevity in Biohacking 04:14 – Chronic Infections and Blood Clotting Issues 05:34 – Red Light’s Impact on Blood Health and Cardiovascular Benefits 06:56 – BioCharger: Light and Frequency Healing Technology 08:18 – Anecdotal Success with BioCharger for Parasites 10:03 – Genetic Testing for Personalized Health Solutions 13:46 – Genetic Testing for Hair and Skin Health 15:15 – Molecular Hydrogen: Benefits and Emerging Devices 18:29 – Challenges with Subpar Health Products in the Market 21:04 – Importance of Trustworthy Health Products and Testing 24:21 – BioLight’s Upcoming Scientific Studies on Products 27:34 – Red and Blue Light Toothbrush for Oral Health 31:12 – TCM: Teeth, Kidneys, and Meridian Connections 36:50 – Light Therapy’s Impact on Kidney and Adrenal Health 39:11 – Oral Health and Its Link to Brain Function 43:40 – Gut Health’s Role in Kidney and Bladder Issues 47:09 – Neti Pot and Red Light for Sinus Health 51:39 – Gut-Brain Connection and Glyphosate’s Impact 54:13 – TCM Approach to Healing Leaky Gut 58:58 – Glyphosate’s Effect on Copper and Joint Health 01:03:54 – Magnetism’s Role in Detox and Mitochondrial Health 01:07:06 – Schumann Resonance and Health Impacts of Low Magnetism 01:10:12 – Magnetic Sleep Pads for Regeneration and Health 01:14:15 – Environmental Toxins: EMF and Glyphosate Challenges 01:17:20 – Mitochondrial Function as Key to Immune Health 01:20:02 – Compounding Benefits of Daily Health Practices 01:21:34 – Future Discussion: Lymphatic System and TCM - Where to learn more from and about Dr. Chris Motley: DoctorMotley.com Instagram Ancient Health Podcast - Optimizing oral health may be the most efficient way to achieve systemic wellness...SAVE 20% this week only on BioLight Oral Care devices!

| The Invisible Rainbow, Pt. 1 | 10 Aug 2023 | 00:52:23 | |
This week we will take a dive into the world of invisible light and its impact on our health. And I'm not talking about infrared light, the wavelength we associate with red light therapy that has positive health benefits; but, rather, the other invisible light that makes up over 99% of the electromagnetic spectrum. In his book, The Invisible Rainbow: A History of Electricity and Life, Arthur Firstenberg chronicles the impact that the evolution of electricity, radiation and non-native electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs) has had on the health of humans and animals since its inception in the late 19th century. This well-written and strongly-cited book by Firstenberg makes a very strong case that the vast majority of health maladies and diseases of the last couple of centuries are actually directly tied to electricity and the iterations of that technology (i.e., the electrical power grid, radio waves, telecommunication, wireless technology, advancements from 3G to 4G to 5G, etc.) versus the paradigm, which we are all too familiar with, of exercise and diet.This book has completely transformed my perception of electricity, the advancement of any technology and its indisputable negative impact on our health. In a nutshell, any human-made, non-native EMF causes metabolic disease, which is tantamount to saying it causes mitochondrial dysfunction. Based on the information presented in the book, provided you are a health conscious individual, you quickly realize you need to start prioritizing EMF-mitigating tactics over diet/exercise tactics. I am not saying you need to get rid of one to include the other, but rather that you can't out-exercise or out-diet/out-supplement dysfunctional mitochondria; you need a strong motor (i.e. mitochondria) before you can get the benefits from the fuel (i.e. diet and exercise). In this episode, I cover one of the more profound chapters, Irritable Heart, in the sense that it clearly demonstrates the impact of electrical technology through various eras and how it has been a silent killer for countless cardiac conditions. In my opinion, 5G is further perpetuating and accelerating the issues outlined in this chapter. I hope you find this information as profound and paradigm-shifting as I do — knowledge is truly power. As always, light up your health (with EMFs from the earth/nature and sunlight)! - Key points: Advances in technology and its impact on health: (2:50) Positive and negative EMFs: (4:14) The environment affects the mitochondria: (7:55) Irritable heart: (8:37) Marconi and the invention of radio: (14:59) Heart issues and electricity exposure: (15:61) Heart disease and electricity correlation: (23:10) Animal fat and heart attacks: (26:26) Cholesterol and heart disease: (27:50) Coronary heart disease: (29:30) Fat consumption: (30:60) We can't metabolize fats like our ancestors could: (33:47) Increased heart attacks in zoo animals: (35:10) Radio-frequency radiation: (37:27) Politics vs science: (39:44) Illnesses from microwave radiation: (39:16) Symptoms of radio-wave exposure: (42:26) Hearing radar: (44:41) Modulating heart rhythm: (46:53) - Book referenced from the episode: The Invisible Rainbow: A History of Electricity and Life, Arthur Firstenberg - Check out BioLight's most innovative product yet: the Cocoon! - 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:

| Acupoints & Anecdotes: Red Light Therapy for Animals & Humans w/ Ros Maindok | 03 Aug 2023 | 00:58:58 | |
This week I am excited to welcome my first "fireside chat" with a red light therapy enthusiast! Calling in from Western Australia, Ros Maindok, first got illuminated by red light therapy back in 2010 when she took a course that was designed specifically for horses. This is back in the day when it was literally just red light and did not encompass the near-infrared light we are accustomed to with today's red light therapy devices. She began with a red light therapy torch and learned how to treat acupoints on horses, getting impressive results quickly. From there she was hooked on the healing capabilities of this simple, yet profound technology.
Of course, over time Ros's experiences and knowledge grew into treating other animals/pets and herself and her family. Similar to her results with horses, she realized some amazing results with her family, especially her husband. Ros highlights some fun anecdotes, which provides some great insight into "real life" results people are getting with red light therapy.
We also speak about how we see red light therapy expanding in the future and (hopefully) where it can get with more mainstream adoption. Like me, Ros is very impassioned and excited to share and spread her red light therapy knowledge; and with over a decade of experience, she comes from a place of know-how versus just reading a book or the research.
Sit back, relax and enjoy this fun conversation with Ros from the land down under (sorry, I couldn't help myself). And regardless of which side of the equator you are on, light up your health!

| Irlen Syndrome: Perceptual Challenges & Light Sensitivities w/ Terry Carlson | 20 Jul 2023 | 01:04:13 | |
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.

| Research: Fluoride & Mitochondrial Dysfunction, Amber vs. Red Light For Skin Health & Treating Rotator Cuff Surgical Repair | 06 Jul 2023 | 00:41:40 | |
It's been some time since we tackled some research, so in this week's solosode we're going to cover a wide variety of topics! Also, I wanted to reach out to my audience and let you know that I would like to start interviewing some of YOU (5 to 15 minutes segments) about your experiences and results with red light therapy. You would not have to disclose any personal information — simply share your story! I think it would be powerful for everyone to hear one another's stories and experiences. If you would be interested in participating please reach out here: podcast@biolight.shopWith the first article we will uncover fluoride's impact on mitochondrial health. If you remember from the last couple of episode's from Dr. Jerry Tennant's book, fluoride is an electron stealer and lowers your voltage (hint hint!). The second article looks at periocular skin health (i.e. skin around the eyes) and compares amber light versus red light in their abilities to decrease wrinkles. It turns out they are both great at doing so, but which one is superior?The last article looks at treating rotator cuff arthroscopic repair with red light therapy; specifically, self-treatment with lasers! It turns out, people are more than capable of accelerating their own recovery and rehab when given the proper tools and education. The protocol provided was also quite interesting and comprehensive, which is great to see from the research.
It's great to get back to some research and continue to broaden our red light therapy and mitochondrial knowledge. Enjoy the information and, as always, light up your health!

| Healing is Voltage, Pt. 2 | 29 Jun 2023 | 01:00:46 | |
All of our cellular membranes are battery packs and hold a charge? We will continue our journey down the path of energetic health as we work our way through a particularly profound chapter in the book, Healing is Voltage, by Dr. Jerry Tennant. In the second part of this pivotal chapter, we will learn how cells acquire voltage, the role of water in electron exchange, how food carries its own voltage and the common ways electrons are taken from our bodies and how cells store them.Dr. Tennant also discusses why removing hydrogenated oils from your diet is a non-negotiable, as the dangers of trans fats have a strong correlation to obesity and overall health. He also explores the wisdom of acupuncture meridians and their impact on well-being that provides a new perspective on the interconnectedness of our organs and the role of energy flow.Lastly, Dr. Tennant unravels the profound relationship between acupuncture and yin/yang organs and further shows us how our entire body is a massive circuit and battery with tesla coils related to all of our organs; the end result is that it explains how all disease/cancer can be traced directly back to any area of low voltage that correlates to that tissue/organ. When the dots are connected, it is mind-expanding.
This episode is chalk full of interesting perspectives and noteworthy concepts. Nothing but gratitude to Dr. Jerry Tennant for sharing all of this information with us for the betterment of our voltage (i.e., quality of life!). As always, light up your health!

| Healing is Voltage, Pt. 1 | 22 Jun 2023 | 00:40:00 | |
As you know, when I read a great book with profound information, I have to share it with you guys! Well, the most recent book I have been digging into continues to further my knowledge and reverence for how our body works and heals at an energetic level. In his book, Healing is Voltage, Dr. Jerry Tennant details in how our cells are meant to run at -20 to -25 millivolts (which means our bodies are electron-rich, so to speak) and that when we creep closer to zero and, God forbid, go into the positive territory, that's when our body becomes riddled with disease and cancer. It's as simple as that!So that begs the questions: how do we stay in the -20 to -25 millivolts range? What causes our cells to go above or below that and how to we return to that range? How does this ultimately affect our tissues, organs and body systems? What lifestyle habits pull us out of that range and what lifestyle habits can we adopt to stay in that range effortlessly? What about diet? What about medications? How do you measure it? This is all just the tip of the iceberg, as it relates to the book. But I will keep it simple and just stick to one chapter in the book to give you a taste of this paradigm-shifting information.Dr. Tennant has compiled relatively simple, yet profound information in the 550-page "handbook" that is just lurking in the archives of Amazon — just sitting there waiting to be read and applied to one's life. Why this information is not more prevalent and, in a perfect world, taught in school? Well, that's the beauty of this podcast. I can at least share it with you all and hopefully that begins a snowball effect to get this information spread to more and more people.
This will be at least a two-part series, as there is too much juicy information to put into one solosode. Sit back, accrue your electrons and enjoy the information.

| C60 vs. ESS60: The MUST KNOW Difference Between These Two Molecules w/ Chris Burres | 19 Jun 2025 | 01:23:17 | |
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). If you found the information in today's episode with Chris Burres 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. 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......

| Illuminating Truth: Navigating Ethical Practices in Red Light Therapy | 18 May 2023 | 00:50:44 | |
Step into the illuminating world of The Red Light Report as we embark on a journey to uncover the truth behind product integrity in red light therapy companies. In this eye-opening episode, I confront a startling truth: the entire industry has been either ignorantly or intentionally misrepresenting its device's light irradiance measurements.
An inconvenient truth in today's health, wellness, biohacking and anti-aging markets, the harsh reality is that consumers are being misled via marketing more than they would like to believe. Unfortunately, the red light therapy market is not immune to these charades. It is time that someone exposes the misinformation that has permeated the red light therapy landscape for far too long, unbeknownst to consumers. The gross embellishment of light irradiances on devices needs to end now and we must set a new standard for all red light therapy companies and products.
Third-party testing takes center stage, where we shed light on its crucial role in separating fact from fiction. Learn how independent assessments and verifiable data can provide the transparency needed to navigate the complex world of red light therapy. Many companies "claim" to have third party testing without any other verification. If so, it should be clearly posted on their website and provided to consumers with ease.Prepare to have your mind expanded and enlightened in this episode of The Red Light Report. Empower yourself with this information and please share it if you find it to be important for others to know. It's time to elevate the red light therapy market together and move in a positive direction.

| From Bioregulatory Medicine to Energetic Healing: Navigating Alternative Approaches to Health & Well-Being | 11 May 2023 | 01:10:44 | |
Today we explore the fascinating world of alternative health and well-being. In this episode, we cover a range of topics, from the origins of medical theories and the role of energy in healing to interesting readings from the book "Bioregulatory Medicine" and explore the many benefits of alternative approaches to healthcare.
I will cover my favorite insights from the first couple of chapters. Right off the bat, the book discusses the causes of diseases, including mitochondrial damage, and why we deserve better medicine than the allopathic model.
As we move on in the book, we will explore the differences between treating acute conditions versus chronic diseases, as well as the origins of medical theories and the role of nature's four elements. We delve into the history of medicine, discussing "the apothecary, the pharmacy, and homeopathy", and the opposing views of allopathy.
Moving along, we will learn the importance of the soil and how it impacts our health, as well as Einstein's theory of energy and quantum theory. We discuss the concept that everything is energy and the role of energetic medicine in healing. We also explore the impact of radiation and the need for light, energy, frequency, and vibration in maintaining our health.
We touch on the concept of biofields and the role of love as the noblest foundation for medicine. We also delve into the regeneration cycles of every organ and how natural methods can help cure disease. Finally, we discuss the benefits of cold-water exposure and the fascinating history of how medicine and dentistry were once one and the same.
I hope you find this information on bioregulatory medicine insightful, impactful and helps provide a better perspective of long history of holistic health and trials and tribulations that were involved that led us to where we are today (including red light therapy). As always, light up your health!

| Mechanisms of How Red Light Therapy Works | 27 Apr 2023 | 00:52:18 | |
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:

| BioLight Will Set the Standard in Red Light Therapy; Research: Spinal Cord Injury & Acute/Chronic Pain Relief | 20 Apr 2023 | 00:50:12 | |
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:

| Research: COVID-19 Brain Fog, Transvaginal RLT to Reduce Pain & Melanoma | 13 Apr 2023 | 00:31:42 | |
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.

| Research: Cancer & Red Light Therapy; Rabbit Hole: How Light Irradiance is Used as a Marketing Tactic | 06 Apr 2023 | 00:59:01 | |
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.

| Biological Dentistry & the Three Killers: Metals, Root Canals & Cavitations w/ Dr. Dominik Nischwitz | 30 Mar 2023 | 01:04:33 | |
In a world where leaky gums leads to leaky gut and amalgam fillings are literal antennas for your phones and other nearby EMF-producing devices, it's not difficult to become justifiably fervent that your entire health begins in your mouth. My view on oral health was completely transfigured when I listened to Dr. Dominik Nischwitz, today's guest on The Red Light Report, on Ben Greenfield's podcast three years ago. Up to that point, I was under the illusion that oral health meant keeping your teeth clean, free of plaque and cavities purely for the sake of having a healthy mouth and that's where it ended. But after reading Dr. Nischwitz's book this past week and then speaking with him personally, I have re-affirmed my belief that virtually any and all health truly begins with optimizing your oral health and oral care regimen. However, you'll learn from Dr. Dome that many of us may need to unfix some of traditional medicine's dental procedures in order to truly move forward with a strong foundation of oral health. Otherwise, the vast majority of us are walking around with perpetual, low-level inflammatory issues (that we ourselves or allopathic dentists won't be able to perceive!), never-ending mercury vapor being released from fillings and many other potential vitality killers. During our conversation today, Dr. Dome covers countless topics that are likely make your jaw drop, including the simplicity of his oral hygiene regimen, how he treats patients at his dental practice in Germany, the interplay of the oral and gut microbiome, the three health killers (metals, root canals, cavitations), how nutrition and your diet is more important than brushing your teeth and much more!Dr. Dominik Nischwitz (AKA Dr. Dome) is know as "worlds leading biological dentist" and one of the first ceramic implant specialists. Dr. Dome is an international speaker and Author of "It's All in Your Mouth", with the goal of establishing biological dentistry as the new standard for health optimization protocols for all health practitioners and dentists alike using the term: "health starts in your mouth." Dr. Nischwitz has exclusively used ceramic implants since 2013, placing more than 5000 to date, and is considered a pioneer in the field of biological and holistic dentistry. His other passions include functional medicine, holistic nutrition and competitive sports. Dr. Dome trains traditional dentists in proper biological dentistry practices, and believes that optimal health starts in the mouth. This is another conversation that could've gone on for hours upon hours, as Dr. Dome is truly a beast of knowledge when it comes to biological dentistry and oral health. This is an episode I will personally listen to a couple of times and, of course, I HIGHLY recommend you read his book that covers much more information. Enjoy listening and learning from Dr. Dome and, as always, light up your health!- Dr. Mike Belkowski & Dr. Dominik Nischwitz discuss the following: Intro: (0:16) How he became the world's leading biological dentist: (3:35) Read his book - It's All in Your Mouth: (7:29) His oral hygiene routine: (7:54) His dental practice: (11:46) Biofilm, the pellicle, and the saliva for oral health: (14:34) Gut vs oral microbiome importance: (19:18) #1 chronic disease worldwide is tooth decay: (20:08) Health Optimization Summit: (21:09) Wisdom teeth removal and its effects (23:45) We are a battery: (30:56) A 2008 study on antennas in the body: (31:10) Root canals and cavitations from a biological perspective: (33:34) Whether or not you should get wisdom teeth removed: (38:13) Nutrition and lifestyle are the most important: (40:55) His online course: (45:53) Red light therapy and grounding: (51:18) Teeth whitening strategies: (53:30) Toothpaste recommendations: (54:27) Water picks: (55:53) Flossing: (57:05) Hydrogen peroxide: (57:52) Ozone: (59:40) The biggest missing link to optimal health: (1:01:56) - Read Dr. Dome's book: It's All in Your Mouth - Watch this on YouTube - Where to Learn More From & About Dr. Dome: Find him on social media: Dr. Dome's Tap Bio Visit his website: DNA Health & Aesthetics - 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: | |||

| Chinese Medicine, Acupressure Points for Healing Organs/Emotions & Creating a New Red Light Therapy Treatment Paradigm w/ Dr. Chris Motley | 23 Mar 2023 | 01:05:13 | |
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.

| Research: Transcranial Photobiomodulation on Football Players w/ Potential Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) | 16 Mar 2023 | 00:45:07 | |
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. As always, light up your health (especially your brain)! -Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following:

| Healthcare in Italy, Biohacking, Nootropics & Red Light Therapy Anecdotes w/ Manuel Salvadori | 02 Mar 2023 | 00:57:11 | |
This week on The Red Light Report we are sticking with the Italian theme, as I had the pleasure to sit down and chat with mio amico, Manuel Salvadori, who is responsible for arranging me as a guest speaker at the School of Functional Medicine and Nutrition symposium in Rome last November. Manuel is a registered nutritionist in Italy, a passionate biohacker of ten-plus years and is especially focused on nootropics, sleep and lifestyle changes. Also, given that Italian is his first language, he speaks relatively flawless English... Molto bene!Manuel and I cover many interesting topics given that he lives in a different country and also a different continent; specifically, the contrast between the medical and healthcare landscape between Italy and America and how/why Europe is consistently years and years behind the US when it comes to learning and adopting health/biohacking/longevity information and technology. Given Manuel's interests and expertise, we also dive into nootropics where he has a very deep history with experimentation and, with that background, has an enlightened perspective and sage advice for those using and/or interested in beginning to use nootropics. Needless to say, be careful with how you proceed as it can be a slippery slope! And, of course, we have some great conversation about red light therapy and how he came to learn about and adopt it, how he utilizes RLT, what benefits he has noticed and more! Manuel brings some unique insight and wonderful perspective from across the pond. The only thing we forgot to talk about was Italian food (their pizza is unparalleled!) — we'll have to save that for his next interview. As always, enjoy the episode, learn lots and light up your health! -Dr. Mike Belkowski & Manuel Salvadori discuss the following: 1:28 - His foundation in functional medicine and light 1:59 - His passion for sleep 6:57 - Treatments and remedies he provides for his clients 8:25 - The biohacking room 9:26 - Lack of insurance coverage 10:04 - The typical wait time for health services in Italy 11:25 - Cost of healthcare 12:05 - Choice in healthcare 13:11 - Information and technology differences between US & Italy 17:48 - "Biohacking" as a new term in Italy 21:34 - Growing popularity of red light therapy 24:19 - Incentive to invest money into your health 27:40 - Being healthy in Italy is "not cool" 29:53 - Nootropics 33:40 - The placebo effect and nootropics 35:03 - Personal nootropic use 36:58 - Red light therapy and how he uses it 38:56 - Increasing HRV with red light therapy 40:33 - Improved muscle recovery with red light therapy 41:16 - Working focus and red light therapy 42:10 - Improving stretching with red light therapy 44:09 - Sunlight exposure 44:33 - Other benefits Manuel sees in red light therapy 47:35 - Biohacking he is excited about 50:51 - Over exposure to cold therapy (cryotherapy) 53:54 - Cold and hunger exposure 55:40 - Learn more about Manuel - Watch this on YouTube _ Where to Learn More From & About Manuel Salvadori: Instagram: @dr.perf0rmance Website: www.ManuelSalvadori.it Email: 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: | |||
| Dr. Mike Belkowski Presents Photobiomodulation Research & Benefits in Rome, Italy | 23 Feb 2023 | 00:48:50 | |
Ciao! For the 100th episode of The Red Light Report, we are traveling to Italy! In mid-November last year, I was one of three English-speaking guest speakers at a functional medicine and nutrition conference in Rome where I spoke on — you guessed it — red light therapy. It was a genuine honor and a fun experience to spread the word and knowledge on photobiomodulation overseas. In my presentation, I describe the fundamental tenants of red light therapy, the mechanisms of how it actually works at the cellular level, go over the wide array of photobiomodulation research and provide some tips and tricks as to how one can best utilize this amazing therapy.If you have been listening to this podcast for some time, most of the information you have heard before. But as you all know, repetition of important information leads to deep learning and empowerment. Even for myself, I personally love to revisit this information every so often as it is the foundation and cornerstone of what red light therapy is, the nuts and bolts of how it works and just some of the profound research that proves its efficacy.Enjoy the episode, learn (and re-learn) lots and light up your health... grazie! -Dr. Mike Belkowski presents the following:

| Research: Hair Loss w/ Vortex Beams, Fat Loss & Insulin Resistance via Red Light Therapy | 16 Feb 2023 | 00:34:02 | |
This week on The Red Light Report, we will continue to dive into more photobiomodulation research. However, this research will be looking at three unique topics that typically don't get as much attention. The first article investigates treating hair loss via red light therapy; not using "normal" light, but rather red light therapy via vortex beams. This is the first time I have heard of vortex beams, but apparently it led to more efficacious results! The second piece of research is an abstract of an article that tackled red light therapy for insulin resistance; the preliminary results look promising, which would be a massive win for those dealing with blood sugar and insulin-related diseases. Lastly, we take a deeper exploration into an article that utilizes red light therapy for fat loss in obese individuals. The researchers also have more insight into the mechanism of how photobiomodulation actually decreases fat adiposity on the body.Hair loss, insulin resistance and fat loss — seems like three major areas of the health market that consumers could greatly benefit from a non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical and more financially friendly option. Huzzah for red light therapy! As always, enjoy the episode, learn lots and light up your health! -Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following:

| Research: Treating Rosacea, Improving Sleep Quality, & Optimizing Short-Term Memory via Photobiomodulation | 09 Feb 2023 | 00:42:08 | |
On this week's solosode of The Red Light Report, we return to the photobiomodulation research and cover an array of fascinating topics. We first look into how red light therapy may be able to improve symptoms of rosacea in a mouse model. Secondly, we take a deep dive into a review article that analyzes the research on photobiomodulation for the brain at night, while sleeping, to improve the function of the glymphatic system. Lastly, we cover an article that uncovers some exciting potential between transcranial photobiomodulation for the brain and short-term memory. This is important, as short-term memory is the first to go with neurodegenerative diseases involving the brain.I hope you find this research illuminating and appreciate the promising implications it has for our health and wellness.

| Standardizing Red Light Therapy Methods, Informing Consumers, & The Future of Medicine w/ Alain Dijkstra | 02 Feb 2023 | 01:09:20 | |
For the first interview of 2023 on The Red Light Report, I welcome back a dear friend and repeat guest, Alain Dijkstra, who is the founder and CEO of Kaiyan Medical, one of the world's foremost LED light therapy producer and manufacturer. If you may recall, Alain started Kaiyan in a hotel room way back in 2009 and has built it into the juggernaut that it is today.Being thoroughly entrenched in the light therapy space for almost two decades, Alain has a very keen and insightful perspective on how much red light therapy industry has grown in a relatively short period of time. However, he is the first to admit that there are still many aspects that need to be improved upon, both on the product side of light therapy, but also with respect to the photobiomodulation research that is being produced. Alain offers up strategies that would help move the light therapy industry as a whole forward in a positive manner.Alain is also very savvy when it comes to understanding the nuances of product specifications, certifications, legal standards and so forth. He explains in detail what makes a medical device, what a 510k product is and more. This will help consumers and anyone interested in red light therapy products gain a better perspective of what all the regulation entails and what it actually means. Alain could write a textbook on red light therapy (and maybe he will someday), so you know you are listening and learning from one of the best in the industry. As always, light up your health! -Dr. Mike Belkowski and Alain Dijkstra discuss the following:

| Grounding, Pt. 4: Incredible Anecdotes & Earthing for Female Health, Athletic Performance & Pet Health | 26 Jan 2023 | 00:59:25 | |
The series finale on Earthing should be the episode that fully converts you into a full-fledged believer. This week on The Red Light Report you will hear from countless individuals, as they discuss how grounding helped improved their health, wellness, well-being and quality of life over an array of health conditions. The numerous anecdotes I cover will be the proof in the pudding that will take you off the fence, if that is where you are sitting, or just further drive home the point that grounding MUST become a part of your daily (in a perfect world, hourly and/or continuous) health regimen going forward. There are also a couple of enlightening sections towards the end of the book that cover grounding and its connection to ameliorating female health, athletic performance and pet health. These three sections clearly demonstrate how versatile and instrumental Earthing is to our wellness and the health of all living creatures on the planet. From an analytic perspective, it coherently substantiates how being disconnected from the very Earth we live on is potentially the most dastardly self-inflicted wound we impose on our health and wellbeing. In the end, I hope you all walk away from this solosode series with a greater reverence for the perpetual healing force that is just outside your door in the grass; that you are constantly surrounded by an overabundance of free electrons that your body can use to heal and thrive; and that it is typically just on the other side of the non-conductive rubber in your shoes and the sole of your feet. Enjoy, learn lots and light up your health! -Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following:

| Grounding, Pt. 3 - Earthing 101 & How it Regulates the Nervous System, Heart & Blood Pressure | 19 Jan 2023 | 01:02:10 | |
With cardiovascular disease continually on the rise and high blood pressure being one of the most important risk factors for the disease, hypertensive medications continue to skyrocket. While there is a type and place for pharmaceuticals, this does not address the issue at its root cause. This week on The Red Light Report we will learn how Earthing may be THE best anti-hypertensive remedy available; not to mention, it's 100% natural and has no negative side effects. Simply by connecting to the earth and it's perpetual source of free electrons, mother nature literally thins your blood (only if it's necessary to reach homeostasis), which automatically reduces the stress on your cardiovascular system and normalizes blood pressure. Again, that is sans medication!We will also continue to learn more specifics about grounding, such as how long it takes to see results, what types of mediums are conductive versus insulating, what zeta potential is (and why that is an important metric), other impacts of grounding on cardiovascular health along with a couple of anecdotes that put the proof in the proverbial (grounding) pudding.
Again, if you are interested in adding grounding to your indoor health regimen (and I firmly believe everybody should!), I highly recommend checking out grounding products from the company Earthing. It's a Clint Ober company and where I got my grounding mattress pad and mats for my desk and living room/dining room. And in less than two weeks, my body and mind are already reaping the benefits. To me, it's one of the best investments in your overall health...Brownie points if you listen to this episode while grounded. Enjoy, learn lots and light up your health!

| Grounding, Pt.2 — Connecting the Dots to How Earthing Heals Your Entire Body | 12 Jan 2023 | 00:53:03 | |
Are you feeling grounded yet?! If you haven't felt the gravitational pull to start Earthing (outdoors or indoors) just yet, perhaps this week's solosode on The Red Light Report will provide you with the conviction necessary to get your toes in the grass (or on a grounding mat, like me, if you are strapped to a desk for too many hours of the day). Last week was a great introduction to grounding/Earthing where we laid a great foundation on the basics and fundamentals. Hopefully, it got the wheels turning in your head and brought some awareness to how disconnected we are from the ground of the earth we walk on every single day. In today's episode, we will connect the dots and dig even deeper into the multitude of ways that grounding can have a profound impact on your health. As part of that, you will learn how grounding may be the best EMF protection you could ask for — and that's on top of filling you up with free electrons!Lastly, I have been getting inundated with which grounding products are best or which grounding products I love best. Personally, I purchased my products from the company Earthing and I undeniably felt (both mentally and physically) phenomenal results in less than five days of commencing my indoor grounding! So I highly, highly recommend their products. And, in my opinion, a grounded mattress pad is a must!Without further ado, learn lots and light up your health! -Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following:

| Grounding, Pt. 1 — Is Earthing the Best Anti-Inflammatory in the World? | 05 Jan 2023 | 00:55:12 | |
Happy New Year everybody and welcome to 2023! It feels nice to turn the page onto a new year and start fresh with a clean slate, revitalized and with endless possibilities. To begin this year on The Red Light Report, I am feeling pulled and magnetized into a slightly different direction than our usual red light therapy talk. But don't worry, the topic will still be light- and health-centric, albeit from a slightly different angle. Instead of looking above to our light source, we will be focusing towards the ground for this healing source of photonic and electromagnetic energy: grounding. Commonly called Earthing, grounding has been an available source of energy to our cells (from an evolutionary perspective) as long as the sun; perhaps, that is why is has such a powerful affect over our biology. Ironically, just as we have disengaged ourselves from consistent sun exposure (mal-illumination, anyone?) we have ignorantly disconnected ourselves from the very planet we live on. Consider this: the mere rubber between our feet and the surface of the earth may be the largest culprit of modern day chronic health diseases and cancer. Seem far-fetched?During this three-part solosode series, I will be unpacking some of the most important health information you can hear at this moment in time from the book, Earthing: The Most Important Health Discovery Ever. Throughout this series, you will learn that, like optimizing your light environment, it is the act of simply becoming aware and consistently applying this free "treatment" (of grounding) to your health regimen that could have life-changing results for you, family members and/or friends. Like red light therapy, the list of health conditions that can be mitigated, prevented and even reversed with grounding are endless.I couldn't be more excited to get this information out to you all and begin 2023 off on the right foot — preferably, both feet on the ground absorbing earth's free electrons. Brownie points if you listen to this episode while grounding...

| Optimizing Anti-Aging & Longevity via Supplements & Adjuvants w/ Sandra Kaufmann, MD [Top Interview of 2022!] | 29 Dec 2022 | 01:10:07 | |
Like last week, we are going to revisit one of the top two interviews from 2022. This conversation was with my most (personally) anticipated interview, Dr. Sandra Kaufmann. I fell in love with her first anti-aging book from several years ago and then fell in love again when she released her newest book this summer. She is a highly-respected expert in the longevity community and she didn't disappoint in this interview. Enjoy learning from Dr. Kaufmann... The author of one of my all-time favorite books recently released her second book, which was like Christmas coming early for me! Luckily, I had also met her before at an anti-aging conference and we have stayed in touch throughout the years. So I knew I had to Dr. Sandra Kaufmann on The Red Light Report for some amazing conversation about anti-aging and longevity strategies, especially as it relates to supplements and adjuvants — topics that she is considered a bonafide expert. In her newest book, Aging Solutions, Dr. Kaufmann covers 28 different agents that she has found to be the most efficacious and backed by science, according to her rigorous research. We cover many agents from both of her books along with Dr. Kaufmann's skincare routine and other longevity hacks she as implemented over the years, including red light therapy! Dr. Sandra Kaufmann began her academic career in the field of cellular biology, earning a Master’s Degree from the University of Connecticut in Tropical Ecology and Plant Physiology. Turning to medicine, she received her medical Degree at the University of Maryland, and completed a residency and fellowship at Johns Hopkins in the field of pediatric anesthesiology. She has been the Chief of Pediatric Anesthesia at the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital for 9 years, a nationally recognized center of excellence. Dr. Kaufmann's avid interest in the science of anti-aging begun many years ago as an intense hobby. Utilizing her knowledge in cell biology, human pharmacology and physiology, this hobby has now become a main focus. The project represents years of non-clinical research leading to the first ever, comprehensive theory of aging. She has now released two books on longevity: The Kaufmann Protocol: Why We Age and How to Stop it, and just recently in 2022, Aging Solutions. This conversation could have easily gone on for hours and hours, as Dr. Kaufmann is a wealth of knowledge in some of my favorite topics and is fun to listen and learn from. I know you will all enjoy learning from her like I did and, if so, I highly recommend you check out BOTH of her books. They are simply amazing resources of anti-aging/longevity information. As always, light up your health! - Dr. Mike Belkowski & Dr. Sandra Kaufmann discuss the following:
