At this point, hopefully you're a fan of the mitochondria, red light therapy and methylene blue... because we'll be digging into those topics today!The first article looks at red light therapy's impact on mitochondrial dynamics. Some of this may be review, but it's all part of putting the pieces of the puzzle together in this RLT-mitochondria waltz. I continue to be awestruck at the vast potential and efficacious results that can be accomplished with red and near-infrared light.The second article reviews the impact of methylene blue on COVID-19. Lo and behold, MB is a very powerful anti-viral so we know what the punchline is going to be with SARS-CoV-2. But the review still reveals the many potential mechanisms of action of how MB works to fight off COVID-19 and also provides many clinical studies that had profound results with MB (by itself or when combined with other molecules). Personally, MB is the first line of defense whenever I feel the slightest twinge of my body coming down with a sickness; MB works to completely disallow the sickness from ever manifesting or it helps drastically shorten the course of the virus. ​​​ 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.

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:

This week on The Red Light Report, I will cover two of the most popular topics as it relates to red light therapy: eye health and gut health. There is an abundance of information and research in these two areas — from being able to mitigate, prevent and even reverse eye pathologies to improving the diversity and balance of your beneficial bacteria to harmful bacteria in your gut. Let's shed some light on these two areas of health and wellness!

On the previous solosode, we covered the following topics in the eBook: Brain & Cognitive Health and Cancer.

  Eye health & gut health are undoubtedly two topics I consistently get a ton of questions about and, not coincidentally, these are two sections in the eBook with some of the most new information added to them (Gut Health is actually a brand new section in the eBook and on the BioLight website).Personally, I treat my gut and eyes with red light therapy at least once a week as prophylactic treatments. Time will tell how beneficial those treatments are!

Again, even thought there's only two topics covered this week, I think this is information anyone and everyone can benefit from. As always, light up your health!

Want to learn about some supplements that you have never heard of from The World's Greatest Formulator? That is only one of many intriguing topics covered on The Red Light Report with this week's guest, Shawn Wells. Shawn is highly respected in the biohacking, keto and supplement industries and, more recently, has explored psychedelics and spiritual journeys. We cover those aforementioned subjects as well as topics from the book that Shawn released last year, The ENERGY Formula. Always articulate with a calm demeanor, Shawn is a wealth of information that is easy to listen to and learn from. 

 

Shawn Wells, MPH, LDN, RD, CISSN, FISSN is a product formulator and expert in the fields of performance nutrition, longevity, fitness and supplementation. Shawn is a Registered Dietitian with a decade of experience as a Chief Clinical Dietitian in hospitals and skilled nursing facilities. He is also a Certified Sports Nutritionist and has worked with celebrity clients and professional athletes.Dubbed “The World’s Greatest Formulator”, Biohacktivitst, and Keto Authority, Shawn faced and overcame significant obstacles with his own health—weight issues, depression, autoimmune conditions (Epstein-Barr, Fibromyalgia, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), two cervical discs replacements, and a pituitary adenoma, which is a type of brain tumor. Shawn’s health problems ultimately led him to find science-based solutions, and they sparked his personal passion for biohacking.Shawn is a co-founder of the popular patented ingredients TeaCrine® and Dynamine®, which are featured or used in over 300 products worldwide. He also has worked on patents on exogenous ketones, glucose tolerance agents, amongst others. Shawn also is the CEO of Zone Halo Research, a consulting group for supplement formulations, sourcing, manufacturing, marketing, and regulatory/compliance work.Shawn was selected to be one of the internationally-recognized experts interviewed in the globally-recognized documentary series, The Real Skinny on Fat. Shawn has also spoken on stages all around the world at conferences and has been the guest on countless podcasts.

This is an episode I will personally go back and listen to multiple times, as Shawn drops countless knowledge bombs and grounded wisdom. I hope you enjoy and, as always, light up your health! -

This week on The Red Light Report, we will continue navigating through the fourth edition of the Red Light Therapy Treatment Protocols eBook that I released last week. The eBook almost doubled in size relative to the third edition, as I added a copious amount of information, research and protocols to this fourth edition.   On the previous solosode, we covered the following topics: Important Concepts; Anxiety, Depression & Stress; Athletic & Exercise Performance; and Bone & Joint Health. In this solosode, we will be covering two BIG topics: Brain & Cognitive Health and Cancer. This may be an episode you will want to share with someone you know that is going through one of these health conditions. The information outlined is invaluable. Even thought there's only two topics this week, I promise there is ample amount of juicy information to listen to and learn. As always, light up your health! - Dr. Mike Belkowski Discusses the following:

• Brain & cognitive health
• Mitochondrial dysfunction and how it leads to cognitive issues
• Ways red light therapy can be used trans-cranially
• Autism
• Aging and how it isn’t fully understood
• Treating the cognitive deficits from aging with red light therapy
• Reversing the aging process in the brain
• Concussions and traumatic brain injuries
• Treating gut health
• Treating Parkinson’s disease
• Treating cancer

On this solosode of The Red Light Report, we are going to commence digging into the fourth edition of the Red Light Therapy Treatment Protocols eBook. You heard correctly  — the FOURTH edition! I have gone ahead and added an abundance of new red light therapy information, research and protocols. I have even added new sections, such as Cancer, Gut Health and Stem Cells. In this solosode and subsequent solo episodes, I will be covering all of the new information that has been added to this updated edition of the eBook.

For those not familiar with the contents of this eBook, it was developed to help people enhance their experience and results with red light therapy by providing specific protocols that will help tailor treatment sessions based on your health and wellness goals. The protocols in the eBook are based on a comprehensive review of the current scientific research and will significantly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of your RLT treatment sessions.

The information and protocols should quickly help you achieve the many health benefits of red light therapy instead of relying on the overly-generalized "20 - 30 minutes per day" guideline that has needed updating for some time now. As you can imagine, the treatment protocol for skin health is much different than the protocol for treating joint pain, which is different from the protocol to improve sleep, reduce anxiety, enhance athletic performance, etc.

Regardless, we will be covering all of the new information in this newest version of the eBook. I think you will be as impressed as I am with the new photobiomodulation I was able to find in the research.

• An announcement of new BioLight products
• Important considerations of red light therapy
• Best practices 
• Mitochondria and how they work in “shifts”
• Timing red light therapy
• Treating multiple areas in the same day
• Treating infants, kids, & pets
• Pregnant women & red light therapy
• Anxiety, depression, & stress
• Improving brain function through trans-cranial photobiomodulation

For the second week in a row on  The Red Light Report, I have a repeat guest! This week's guest, Dr. Leland Stillman, you may remember is an integrative medical doctor that has been quite verbose and outspoken regarding his opinion on mandated vaccinations and wearing of face masks. He is also very well-versed on how light and one's light environment can impact health for better or for worse.Very recently he released a book called, Dying to Be Free. Here is an excerpt from the overview of the book: "I believe that if anything threatens the health of the American people, it is the evil agenda of these technocrats, whether they are pushing mask-wearing, vaccination, water-fluoridation, or even things as innocuous as hand washing. As much as it may surprise you to hear this from a doctor, my reasons for concern are based on an abundance of evidence and experience, and are shared by doctors and scientists all over the world." Dr. Stillman graduated with a degree in Environmental Health from Connecticut College and earned his medical degree from the University of Virginia. He trained in Internal Medicine at Maine Medical Center. He has worked in over a dozen hospitals and clinics as a traveling doctor. He spent the early part of COVID-19 working in a rural hospital and later on went viral for speaking out against the lockdown and mandate measures. Most importantly, Dr. Stillman just released a book called “Dying to Be Free.”On the previous episode with Dr. Stillman, we discussed how he analyzes his patients’ light environments, how he offers suggestions to optimize them, how and why he suggests heliotherapy (therapy from the sun), how a dim environment can lead to premature aging and much more! You can check out that episode by clicking here. This is not an episode you want to skip over. In fact, it is one you will likely want to listen to a couple of times and share with your family and friends. Dr. Stillman connects many dots and drops endless truth bombs that massive corporations and the government would rather you not know. Listen with an open, critical mind and you will be sure to walk away with a newfound perspective for what it means to have true freedom. Learns lots and light up your health! - Dr. Mike Belkowski and Dr. Leland Stillman discuss the following:

• Transitioning out of Covid
• The catalyst for writing his book, Dying to Be Free
• Waking up to the power of the sun
• Benefits of getting more sun exposure in the middle of the day
• His focus on improving lifestyle habits
• Problems with the government and regulating health
• Allowing doctors to do what they need to do
• How healthcare professionals aren’t incentivized to cure our ailments
• Negative ramifications of big food, big pharma, and big tech
• Replacing light loss with red light therapy
• Understanding how the “game” is being played
• How community reduces mortality rate
• Health insurance and why it’s one of the greatest scams in history
• How the market is rigged
• Healthcare sharing ministry and how it’s a better alternative to health insurance
• Hospital bills and how you can haggle them down
• Suicide rates of male and female physicians vs the general populous
• How the government is funneling the population to maximize corporate profits
• Crypto and giving power back to the people
• Minimizing costs

For the first time on The Red Light Report, I have a repeat guest — and for good reason! You may remember him as the guy that developed the Longevv anti-aging creams we sell at BioLight, but David Horinek is so much more. He has acquired an abundance of unique knowledge in so many areas, I had to pick his brain on another episode so we could all learn from him. He dives into countless topics, including health and wellness tactics, why you need to leave the big city and live a rural lifestyle, diet/nutrition tips, advice on financial and investing, why forest/nature bathing and hugging trees is important for health, why light and water are invaluable for vital health and so much more!

 

David is the founder and Chief Innovation officer at Hologenix that developed Celliant, a responsive infrared textile that transforms body heat into full-spectrum infrared energy and is clinically proven to increase local circulation and cellular oxygenation -- that means more energy, endurance, strength, stamina, comfort, quicker recovery, and better sleep. The world’s leading brands, such as Under Armour and Levi’s use Celliant, along with countless other textile companies -- from bedding to socks to underwear and more.David also co-developed a business to produce and distribute alkaline water: Designing a specific ratio of salt to water gives the water a higher pH (potential hydrogen) than tap water, which boosts hydration.

 

There is so much fascinating and practical information in this episode, you will surely want to listen to it a couple of times to absorb all of the great knowledge that David imparts. As always, light up your health and enjoy!

On this week's solosode of The Red Light Report, we are going to learn about light and its impact on health from a slightly different viewpoint. You man even consider it coming from a quantum perspective. But not to worry, there are many practical (and free!) takeaways that you can begin integrating into your daily routine as quickly as... now! (Cue: nasal breathing)   In the first part of the solosode, I will cover sunlight as a nutrient. This may seem blasé on the surface, but I will discuss in detail, the five bioactive forms of light and then make a legitimate argument that light nutrients are just as important, if not more important, than food nutrients. In the second part of the solosode, I will dive into the practical application side of things. A majority of these biohacks you will have likely heard of, yet you are in all likelihood not implementing them a consistent basis. I will go into detail about each of these "quantum hacks" and elucidate as to how and why it would be impactful for your mitochondrial health. The best part is that they are all simple and free to implement!   Enjoy the information and see what you notice just by implementing two or three of these simple hacks on a consistent basis. I am sure it will light up your health! - Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following:

• Sunlight as a nutrient
• The main bioactive spectra of light
• UV-B and how it creates free electrons
• UV-A
• Blue light
• Red light
• Infrared light - mid and far infrared vs near infrared
• Our light environment and how it’s as important as nutrition
• Fake food vs real food
• Small changes that can make a big impact
• Sunset, sunrise, and melatonin/cortisol levels
• Remineralizing water
• Nasal breathing vs mouth breathing
• Book recommendation: Breath - James Nester
• No food after sunset
• Screens, the light they emit, and their effects
• Blue light and how it increases addictiveness through dopamine
• Grounding in the earth and its anti-inflammatory effects
• Love and gratitude

I am excited because I get to return the favor to this week's guest on The Red Light Report. Years ago and well before BioLight became popular, Kayla Osterhoff, affectionately known as Biocurious Kayla, interviewed me about red light therapy on her podcast, BioCurious. So now I get to pick her brain about women's health, a topic where Kayla is a recognized authority on the subject, being that she is a women’s health science expert. The information that Kayla covers is absolutely fascinating and gave me a more well-rounded perspective of women's health. I can virtually guarantee that the females out there will gain some very valuable insight and strategies to thrive and live life to its fullest! Kayla is formally trained across the health sciences with a bachelor of science in health ecology, master of science in public health, and currently pursuing her doctoral degree in the field of neuropsychophysiology. Formerly, she served as a Health Scientist for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and spent several years prior working in the clinical setting.The last several years of her career have been dedicated to researching women's neuropsychology. Kayla's investigative efforts into the brains and minds of women led her to a major discovery about women's unique cognitive and leadership abilities. This discovery is the basis for the Her Biorhythm program and the foundation from which to build your new limitless life! ​Enjoy listening and learning from one of the top women's health experts in the industry — light up your health and enjoy! - Dr. Mike Belkowski and Kayla Osterhoff discuss the following:

• What she has learned In school about the female biorhythm
• The mystery of female biology
• Why women are difficult research subjects
• Differences between men and women that are being ignored
• Estrogen and progesterone
• The 4 stages women go through every month
• Ways women can optimize the monthly phases
• Dangers of low-carb and fasting diets for women
• How there’s a time and place for carbs
• Biohacking tools for women
• Tuning in and listening to our bodies
• Avoiding burnout
• Optimizing red light therapy timing during your monthly phases
• Her biorhythm certification program - herbiorhythm.com
• Understanding the female biology and physiology

Happy Summer to everyone! Summer means sun; sun means full-spectrum light; full-spectrum light means red and near-infrared light; red and NIR light means happy mitochondria! That was a long-winded way of saying that on this week's solosode of The Red Light Report, we will once again be reviewing the fundamentals of the mitochondria. This is quintessential to appreciating red light therapy, as red light therapy directly affects the mitochondria, which provides countless health, wellness and longevity benefits.

 

The first part of the episode covers why the mitochondria is vital for our health, wellness, and longevity. If you're into the science and how things work, Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses three of the most important names in the world of the mitochondria and water: Dr. Doug Wallace, Dr. Jack Kruse and Dr. Gerald Pollack.    In the second half of the episode, I cover more fundamentals of the mitochondria, the electron transport chain, how they kill themselves off, and how to best optimize your mitochondria.    Get outside in that summer sun and light up your health and enjoy!

The more I learn about frequency and energy medicine, the greater the appreciation and wonderment I have for its expansive potential for health and wellness. There may be no one more entrenched in learning, treating and spearheading energy medicine than today's guest, Geoffrey Montague-Smith.Geoffrey is an expert in sound therapy and is responsible for developing Holosonic Sound Therapy method to its current level. He works with an understanding of how frequencies can impact the body, mind and soul. He has developed his method of Interdimensional Medicine over many years.In today's conversation, Geoffrey enlightens the listeners on a myriad of energetic and frequency topics ranging from Holosonic Sound Therapy that includes his nuanced way of harnessing tuning forks for assessment and treatment, Electro-acupuncture for assessing and treating blockages, Interdimensional Medicine that treats both the physical body and the "light" body, understanding the impact of "generational taint" and how that can affect one's mental and physical health and so much more. Not only is Geoffrey a brilliant mind and practitioner, but he is an absolute dynamo teacher and  impeccable at articulating his knowledge.Geoffrey founded the Atman Clinic in 1995 as a centre of excellence for Holistic Osteopathic Medicine. Geoffrey’s unique holistic approach to his patients’ health means that although he is operating in an evidence based profession, he realizes the importance of a good connection to the more subtle levels of being. As a result of this philosophy his treatment often combines advanced osteopathic techniques with bio-resonance, vibrational medicine and spiritual psychotherapeutics for the treatment of a wide variety of conditions often succeeding where allopathic medicine may have failed.I hope you enjoy the conversation today with Geoffrey. Please share this episode with family, friends and colleagues if you find the content especially interesting and/or impactful.  

As always, learn lots and light up your health!

I know The Red Light Report isn't necessarily about highlighting nutrition, as there's thousands of those podcasts already. However, I did want to acknowledge National Vitamin C Day that occurred this week, so I take a quick dive into the history and benefits of one of the most popular vitamins in the world. Needless to say, you should be getting your daily vitamin C one way or another.Of course, I want to bring you the newest, cutting-edge photobiomodulation research available, so in this episode I will be highlighting three different articles. The first one, which I cover most in-depth, is about red light therapy (RLT) and how it can benefit the healing of tendons. Virtually 100% people on earth cross paths with a tendon injury at one point or another, with a high percentage eventually succumbing to chronic tendon injury/pain. So everyone will want to hear what this article has to say about RLT's benefits for tendon injuries.The subsequent two articles are so hot off the press that I could only get my hands on the abstracts. But regardless, the information and the results on what RLT can do to benefit Bell's palsy and temporomandibular joint disorder (i.e, jaw pain) is quite impressive — further uncovering more and more ways you can utilize red light therapy to your advantage.​​Learn lots, light up your health and enjoy!

On this week's solosode of The Red Light Report, I deliver a variety pack of information. One of the fun topics I randomly cover is about possibly my favorite non-negotiable adjuvant I take daily: astaxanthin. Ironically, the endless list of powerful benefits from this substance are secondary to sunlight exposure that stresses the algae, developing an orange goop — that goop is astaxanthin. So you could say the benefits derived from astaxanthin are thanks to the light from the sun!I also review the history of light therapy and the interesting ride it has been on over the centuries: from The Golden Age to the Era of Darkness to the New Age of Light. The pendulum has swung both ways and, luckily for us, it is swinging back to the side of evolution, utility and appreciation for the healing benefits of light therapy. This is why we have seen such a surge in photobiomodulation, namely red light therapy.Lastly, I cover the negative impact of light flicker, as it relates to our health. Decades and decades ago, it was thought that if light manufacturers increased the flicker rate so that it wasn't perceptible to the naked eye it wouldn't have a negative impact on our biology. However, we have learned that there can be insidious (or obvious) consequences of "invisible" light flicker, such as headaches/migraines, eye strain, decreased concentration and energy, mood and behavioral disorders and more. That is exactly why I made sure all BioLight panels have the lowest light flicker possible — the first red light therapy company to take that variable into consideration.Learn lots, light up your health and enjoy!

One of my favorite aspects of red light therapy is the benefits it has on oral health. The photobiomodulation research in this area is exhaustive, demonstrating countless ways that RLT can impact oral health — from infections to gum health to enamel erosion to orthodontic surgery to pain and more! On this week's solosode of The Red Light Report, I will review the many benefits of RLT as it relates to oral health, but then I will take a dive into the health and aesthetic benefits of blue light therapy for oral health and teeth.Blue light therapy is notorious ​for whitening teeth, especially when combined with hydrogen peroxide or carbomide peroxide gel; I will discuss which peroxide is superior for whitening teeth most efficiently. Not only that, blue light is equally effective at selectively killing harmful bacteria while leaving beneficial bacteria alive and thriving, which leads to an optimized oral microbiome. ​Towards the end of the episode, I may or may not have an exciting announcement about a new BioLight product that is about to be released... So listen to the entire episode to find out what it is!Learn lots, light up your health and enjoy!

It's time to dig back into the photobiomodulation research The Red Light Report! On this solosode, I will cover three new, unique scientific studies that investigate the ways that red light therapy can help with heart health, post-concussion symptoms and modifying the gut microbiome for positive health and wellness benefits! Not only that, but I will reveal how red light therapy virtually saved my dog from needing stitches, significantly accelerating the healing and recovery process from a massive cut that left him with a split lip.We all know that the heart is one of the most mitochondrial-dense tissues in the body, yet oddly enough, there is a dearth of photobiomodulation research in this area. Listen and learn how red light therapy is able to ameliorate symptoms and side effects from heart failure.One of the biggest areas on the rise in red light therapy research is transcranial photobiomodulation for neurodegenerative diseases and all types of brain injuries, including concussions. Listen and learn how a professional hockey player incorporated red light therapy into his post-concussion multimodal treatment approach. Lastly, the gut has been receiving a lot of attention in the research as well -- both on how red light therapy can directly improve the gut microbiome and also how brain health can be altered via the gut-brain axis with RLT to the gut. Listen and learn to what the newest research is showing on RLT improving gut health and the gut microbiome.Learn lots, light up your health and enjoy!

I always like learning about topics that can directly or indirectly affect mitochondrial function. At the end of the day, those are other potential strategies for optimizing mitochondrial health and the root cause of health, wellness and longevity. Redox biology fits that to a tee, meaning if you can improve your internal redox signaling you will inherently improve your mitochondrial function. I like that!We will gain a nice overview of exactly what redox is, why it matters and how it impacts all aspects of health. We will turn to Dr. Lee Ostler's book, Redox Matters, to learn the highlights of redox biology and signaling and why it is undoubtedly a foundational aspect of all health and wellness (which should be no surprise given its entanglement with mitochondrial function).For the second part of the episode I will introduce BioLight's fourth version of BioBlue, which certainly lives up to its name: BioBlue Calm. BioBlue Calm is a blend of six herbs and minerals combined with pharmaceutical grade methylene blue (USP >99.5%) to help promote relaxation and a sense of calm. This recipe includes all of the same ingredients as our flagship BioBlue product minus nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN). We decided to remove NMN because while is not a stimulant, it can be stimulating to our physiology given its properties for improving mitochondrial function and energy production. Between the removal of the NMN and the addition of: AshwagandhaValerianPassionflowerKavaMagnesium glycinateMagnesium L-threonate ...BioBlue Calm functions as a "weighted blanket" for your brain and your nervous system, providing a physiological tranquility in times of stress, anxiety and/or when falling asleep is difficult. All of the above herbs and minerals contribute to reducing cortisol levels and improved GABA activity in the brain. This alone promotes a deep sense of calm. 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. Sharing is caring :)As always, light up your health!

"Electrons! Electrons! Come get your electrons!" I love when I cross paths with someone that likes to nerd out on mitochondrial health, but especially from the quantum point of view! On this week's episode of The Red Light Report, I was lucky enough to sit down with the brilliant Carrie Bennett, who knows her quantum health inside and out. Not only that, but Carrie is able to take these complex topics and simplify them so anyone and everyone can understand. As you can see from the episode description below, we cover a smorgasbord of quantum health topics, especially how health is impacted by light, water and magnetism.Even though it can be intimidating, it behooves everyone to take a dive deep into health from a quantum perspective. This is truly where the root causes of disease are buried -- deep down at the subatomic level. But as Carrie acknowledges, even though the topics can get a little complex, the solutions are extremely straightforward. And who doesn't like simple, actionable strategies for optimizing wellness and bolstering one's healthspan?

 

As a college athlete, supposedly at the pinnacle of health, Carrie began suffering chronic joint issues and insomnia.  After her first child was born she developed debilitating stomach pain, adrenal fatigue, and brain fog.    Armed with a BS in Biology, an MS in Nutrition, certifications as a personal trainer, massage therapist, breathing coach, and faculty member of the Quantum Biology Collective, Carrie's mission is to teach her clients how to create a healing environment.   By applying quantum health strategies involving morning sunlight, circadian rhythm, grounding, mitochondrial support, cold therapy, sleep and intermittent fasting clients feel powerful healing and lasting benefits. ​ This episode is wall-to-wall full of incredibly profound health information. It may be an episode you want to listen to multiple times to fully grasp the knowledge that Carrie shares with us. In fact, I highly recommend you do, as the implications of applying these quantum health strategies are far-reaching. Carrie is sure to give you an entirely new perspective on what it means to be healthy. Enjoy and learn lots!

Believe it or not, it has almost been one year since I began The Red Light Report! And I want to thank each and every one of you that has tuned in for any of the episodes and supported me along the way. I am grateful that I have been able to provide you all with impactful information on light, especially red light therapy, and how you can best utilize it to your health's advantage. This is just the beginning...Speaking of the beginning — I wanted to revisit a couple of my very first solosodes on this podcast, specifically on the mitochondria, and continue to build on the foundational information that I've talked about so far in 2022 (i.e., energetic portion of the eye with Dr. Fritz Hollwich & the health benefits of UV light with Dr. Jacob Liberman).Most people haven't listened to these two episodes (and if you have it will be a fabulous review), which contains some of profound information as it pertains to the mitochondria "rubber meeting the (red light therapy) road."In essence, red light therapy works because of its ability to positively impact the mitochondria. So it's imperative to know how and why the mitochondria are import to our health and longevity, as that largely explains why red light therapy is such an amazing healing tool.Learn lots, light up your health and enjoy!

-

Pt. 1

This important episode covers why the mitochondria is vital for our health, wellness, and longevity. If you're into the science and how things work, Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses three of the most important names in the world of the mitochondria: Dr. Doug Wallace, Dr. Jack Kruse, and Dr. Gerald Pollack. 

Pt. 2

Dr. Mike Belkowski covers the fundamentals of the life of the mitochondria, the electron transport chain, how they kill themselves off, and how to best optimize your mitochondria.

For the better part of the last century, sunlight, and especially ultraviolet (UV) light, has been demonized and purported as a main instigator in many diseases and cancers. By the end of today's solosode on The Red Light Report, you will be exposed to the truth about UV light and understand the sad irony of those claims. As a kid, we were all told to put on our sunglasses, slather on that sunscreen and if all else fails, cover up with our hats, clothes, scarves, trench coats.... you get the point. It was drilled into us at a young age, that if you were going outside and to be exposed to the sunlight, you had to take precautions so the big bad sun didn't get you.​​Hindsight is 20/20, but how much nutrition via light did we deprive our biology from? How much better off would our health and wellness be today if we hadn't drank the kool-aid and become over-protective against the sun?Bear in mind, I am not saying that we all need to go outside and get sunburns. That is a real negative consequence to excessive UV exposure and can certainly instigate skin cancer. However, we have removed ourselves so far from nature that we have actually caused many of our own problems via mal-illumination. Between blocking UV light into our eyes with fancy sunglasses and UV radiation to our skin via sunscreen and clothing, multitudinous physiological benefits are being swept under the rug -- physiological benefits that have been built over ions by way of evolution. This solosode is largely thanks to Dr. Jacob Liberman and his book published in 1991, Light: The Medicine of the Future. The information in that books is as relevant and profound today as it was 30 years ago. I will cover one particular chapter from that book — UV or Not UV: That is the Question.Learn lots, light up your health and enjoy! - In this solosode, Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following:

• Quiz questions and answers about red light therapy
• An excerpt from Light: Medicine of the future by Jacob Liberman
• Misconceptions of UV light
• Radiation
• Sun bathing and UV therapy had become known as one of the most effective treatments for many infectious diseases
• Questioning the status quo
• Benefits of UV light
• Negative effects of the lack of UV light
• Recommendations for life changes and how you treat light

Parkinson’s disease is the second most common age-related neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer’s disease. An estimated seven to 10 million people worldwide have Parkinson’s disease. Men are 1.5 times more likely to have Parkinson’s than women. The disease affects patients’ quality of life, making social interaction more difficult and worsening their financial condition, due to the medical expenses associated with the disease.These are just the tip of the iceberg​, as it relates to sobering stats on Parkinson's disease...​On this week's solosode of The Red Light Report, I decided to report on some hot-off-the-press research about -- you guessed it -- red light therapy and Parkinson's disease. We typically associate Parkinson's as just a disease of the brain. But what if I told you that your gut microbiome may playing a larger role in the disease via the gut-brain axis?​​It turns out that most individuals with Parkinson's have the opposite desired ratio of bacteria ('good' vs. 'bad') that is seen in a healthy, vibrant gut environment. ​​This research article, which was published in early January, uncovers the amazing potential that red light therapy, specifically near-infrared light, has on improving the ratio of 'good' bacteria to 'bad' bacteria in the gut. ​This is a very exciting piece of research, as it further demonstrates the versatile healing abilities of red light therapy and just how resilient our bodies can be when given what it wants. In this case, the gut wanted some NIR light. Learn lots and enjoy!

This week's episode on The Red Light Report is the grand finale of the three-part solosode series about light and its influence on the "energetic portion" of our eyes. This rather old, yet profound information, comes from the research of German ophthalmologist Fritz Hollwich and other studies he collected from the late 1800s through the 1970s in his book, The Influence of Ocular Light Perception on Metabolism in Man and in Animal.We covered the following topics in last week's episode: light and body temperature, light and kidney function, light and blood count and light and metabolic functions. The research in these areas leave no doubt that we all possess another pathway in our eyes that leads to downstream effects in our physiology, for better and, certainly, for worse.This week, we will be learning the following topics: light and thyroid function, light and sexual function, light and adrenal and pituitary functions, natural sunlight and artificial fluorescent light, light pollution, and the importance of light in metabolism in man and animal: summary. The last three sections are of utmost importance and by far have the most applicable take-home points of this entire solosode series.While this information may be "old," given the book was published in 1979, it has never been more timely and relevant than now with our illuminated modern-day lifestyles. Ever since 1879, when Edison invented the lightbulb, the pendulum has been constantly swinging to the other side. And while there have been many advancements and benefits directly because of the lightbulb, virtually every aspect of our biology has paid the preverbal price.Fritz Hollwich was very aware of the fact that our lighting environments taxed our health -- even over 80 years ago! And thanks to him, we know definitively that the window into our eyes tells the entire story.

In the second part of this three-part series on The Red Light Report, we are going to continue learning from one of the top light pioneers and light researchers of all-time, Fritz Hollwich, via his book The Influence of Ocular Light Perception on Metabolism in Man and in Animal.For a quick review, we covered the following topics in last week's episode: the energetic portion of the optic nerve, light and the pineal gland and light and growth. That information laid the foundation for understanding the true impact that light has on our physiology. Backed by research from the early 1900s no less! This week, we will be learning the following topics: light and body temperature, light and kidney function, light and blood count and light and metabolic functions. We will continue to uncover powerful research demonstrating the impact of light, but now in different areas of our biology.​​This further proves just how profound the light environment you surround yourself on a consistent basis truly is. It doesn't just impact one area of your health and wellness, it virtually impacts ALL facets of health and wellness -- via the energetic pathway of your eye.

 

As always, buckle up for some learning and enjoy! -

It's a new year, which means this is a perfect time to learn some groundbreaking, foundational information regarding light and the eye from the early- and mid-1900s. That's correct, I said "groundbreaking" and the 1900s in the same sentence!  Beginning on this week's episode of The Red Light Report, we are embarking on a three-part solosode series that will (likely) change the way you think about light, your eyes and their impact on your overall health and wellness... and, believe it or not, I am not talking about your eyesight or vision. In fact, what if I told you that vision was the second most important aspect of your eyes?Ironically, the majority of the eye-opening research I will be citing during these episodes has been around for over fifty years -- and some, almost 100 years -- yet I can virtually guarantee that you have never heard this information before. It's curious how this all-important information about light and our eyes has been lying around in the archives of libraries and the annals of the internet for decades and decades, only to be ignored and/or never given the proper attention it sincerely deserves.... Hence, this three-part solosode series!   The book I will be referencing in these episodes is The Influence of Ocular Light Perception on Metabolism in Man and in Animal, by German researcher and ophthalmologist Fritz Hollwich. This guy was way before his time! In his book, Hollwich clearly demonstrates, through his and others research, the countless ways that light impacts health via our eye. Again, in this instance vision (or our "visual pathway") is not the key factor, as there is an alternate pathway that induces these physiological benefits; what Hollwich called an "energetic pathway."I am excited to be presenting this information to you, as the first time I read this book and the research presented, it left my jaw on the ground and my socks knocked off. These episodes are going to be jam-packed with cutting-edge information that you will assuredly find paradigm-shifting and will undoubtedly cause you to pause and reconsider your light environment for your health's sake. Buckle up and enjoy! - On this solosode, Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following:

• The profound effects sunlight has on our biology
• How light is a primal element of life
• An excerpt from Fritz Hollwich
• How artificial light cannot replace sunlight
• Grounding with the earth
• How the earth’s electromagnetic field is nourishing to our bodies
• The negative effects of fluorescent light
• The energetic portion of the optic nerve
• Light and the pineal gland
• Symptoms that receded after sufficient exposure to sunlight
• Our light environment and how it affects health conditions and diseases
• Blindness and its effect on benefits from light
• The third eye
• Melatonin and how light stimulates it
• Research done by Wimmer in 1856 on how light affects the blind

On the last episode of The Red Light Report this year, I decided it would be fun to take a slight deviation and learn about therapies that involve healing frequencies other than light. I will discuss the healing benefits of sound, specifically 528Hz that is also known as the "frequency of love" and the "frequency of health and longevity." We will then turn our attention to pulsed electromagnetic therapy, better known as PEMF therapy, and the many benefits that can be derived from these frequencies; interestingly, PEMF therapy shares many similar attributes to those found with red light therapy. Lastly, we will dive into two pieces of photobiomodulation research: one article looking at PEMF and red light therapy for reducing the hyper-inflammation associated with COVID-19 and another article looking at how transcranial red light therapy can assist with treating the core features of autism spectrum disorder.

 

I want to say thank you to every single one of you that listens to The Red Light Report. What started out as a spontaneous undertaking to help get the word out about red light therapy and the many benefits it possesses has turned into a passion project and a platform that has allowed me to share my and other experts' knowledge and experiences with red light therapy (along with the many topics within health, wellness and longevity) and also continuously disseminate the newest and best photobiomodulation research. My hope is that you find the podcast informational, thought-provoking and applicable.Even though there are countless ways to utilize red light therapy, I believe we are just beginning to harness the full potential it has to offer. I am excited to see what new research comes out in 2022 and you better believe I will be sharing that information with you all on the podcast. So I appreciate all of you for tuning in to the podcast and also for your patience as I grow as a podcast host and interviewer -- something I never planned on attempting before the beginning of this year, but has genuinely helped me grow as a person in many ways.To your health, wellness & longevity,Dr. Mike Belkowski - On this solosode, Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following:

This week we are going to cover a wide array of research:​

• ​Mitophagy's impact on aging (the mitochondria's process of selective degradation of mitochondria by autophagy). If you can't get rid of the garbage mitochondria, that's a rotten deal for your health.

 

• Methylene blue's role in combatting oral biofilm (a sticky film that coats teeth and contains bacteria). Our blue friend may actually be playing a beneficial role by temporarily staining your teeth blue. Who wouldn't trade tooth decay, receding gums and bad breath for that?

• Preconditioning your muscles for improved muscular strength, endurance and recovery. In reality, how beneficial is this strategy for the active population?

• Transcranial photobiomodulation for children with autism spectrum disorder. Is this an efficacious treatment for children to mitigate symptoms of ASD?

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. Sharing is caring :)As always, light up your health!

On this week's episode of  The Red Light Report, I thought it would be fun to revisit the most popular episode of 2021! It was the fun conversation I had with the great intellect, David Horinek, where we dive into various aspect of anti-aging, longevity, infrared energy, light and water -- many of which he brilliantly incorporated into the numerous innovative products he created over the years. Equally exciting, David is the creator of the Longevv Revivv and Longevv Recovvr cremes that I had him develop to specifically harness the healing benefits of red and near-infrared light. I have David go into detail and explain the amazing benefits of each ingredient -- which on their own possess potent health & anti-aging characteristics for the skin --  and why he included them in the Longevv cremes.

 

David is the founder and Chief Innovation officer at Hologenix that developed Celliant, a responsive infrared textile that transforms body heat into full-spectrum infrared energy and is clinically proven to increase local circulation and cellular oxygenation -- that means more energy, endurance, strength, stamina, comfort, quicker recovery, and better sleep. The world’s leading brands, such as Under Armour and Levi’s use Celliant, along with countless other textile companies -- from bedding to socks to underwear and more.

 

David also co-developed a business to produce and distribute alkaline water: Designing a specific ratio of salt to water gives the water a higher pH (potential hydrogen) than tap water, which boosts hydration.

Listen closely, as David drops a massive amount of knowledge on this episode! -
