The first topic is red light therapy (RLT) for tendinopathy (i.e. pain from overuse in tendons), where I discuss the mechanisms of how RLT has the potential to help heal this type of an injury, review the most relevant research and then provide some practical application for what a real treatment would look like with a RLT devce.
The second topic is how to apply The Mitochondrial Triad for fertility. I first examine the role that mitochondrial dysfunction plays in facilitating low fertility rates and then scrutinize how/why RLT, methylene blue and C60 may have efficacious, profound potential for improving and optimizing fertility — both from the female and male perspective. I also offer some practical application for each aspect of The Mitochondrial for women and men.
As always, light up your health!

I wanted to take to the mic and address some of this misinformation and concern head-on. One issue that I see arise is around the quality of MB and, more specifically, the fact that MB can be derived from petroleum substances. Notice how I said, "can be." Yes, different industrial use cases may obtain their MB from petroleum-based sources, but is not the same MB that would be considered safe for human consumption. Also, there is a notion going around that you can make "homemade" leucomethyene blue simply be adding vitamin C to MB. I explain why this is a half-truth and does not lead to the same quality, purity, stability, bioavailability or effectiveness in mitochondria.
The study covered in today's episode demonstrates how the mitochondria are being recognized as an integral therapeutic target for traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). That would mean a.) mitochondrial dysfunction is a large part of the brain damage (and, thus, recovery) associated with TBIs and, presumably, other head trauma, such as concussions; and b.) anything that can improve mitochondrial function, particularly things that can positively affect the brain, has a large potential role to play in the recovery from TBIs and other head trauma. The Mitochondrial Triad ticks all of those boxes.
As always, light up your health!

While Landon is a wildly successful entrepreneur today, which is a grind in its own right, his days as an NFL defensive lineman (and, of course, the years and year of collegiate and high school football) took a major toll on his body and, even more so, his mind and brain. This is secondary to the perpetual banging of pads and helmets every single play between the offensive and defensive lineman. Being drafted in 2008, Landon played in an era where the repercussions of concussions was not yet on the radar in football. Fast forward to early last year, Landon was recommended by a friend to try some BioBlue and red light therapy to see if it would help with his post-NFL body and mind. According to Landon, BioBlue played a major role in regaining his sharp mind and cognition/focus, while the red light therapy (combined with the BioBlue) helped reduce so lingering aches and pains. Needless to say, he is a massive advocate of both modalities.
Along with discussing his experience with MB and RLT, Landon talks about the differences between his health and wellness mindset as an NFL player vs. his mindset in his post-NFL life, his desire and motivation to live a "clean lifestyle", how/why he wakes up around 3 every morning to start his day, his viewpoints on diet/food and some other fun topics, such as crypto, blockchain, AI and much, much more!

I discuss my thoughts on the above, and more, when I dive into today's first study that looks at red light therapy for low-to-moderate myopia. I also discuss the physiology and pathology that leads to early onset (and, by nature, full blown) myopia. Hint, hint — blue light may play a critical role. I outline what I would do for an eye treatment and provide insight as to what someone should consider in a device if eye health is the main motivation.
In the second article that is hot sizzling off the press, we take a special detour to look at the impact of violet light and its photobiomodulation effects on depression. There is some fun rabbit holes secondary to this study, such as learning the impact of violet light for circadian rhythm, the role of OPN5 (a special neuropsin that plays a role in depression) and much more!

Every time I talk to biological dentists, I am always impressed with just how much our oral cavity impacts our entire system; and today's conversation with brother biological dentists from Smilebody, Dr. Ben Javid and Dr. Shawn Javid, is another insightful look into how and why we need to be taking our oral hygiene and health more seriously for overall wellness.
Countless people are dealing with brain fog, cardiac dysfunction, low back pain, hormonal issues and so much more than can be directly tied to an underlying root cause issue in their mouth that has never been considered. Many of the aforementioned issues are "patched up" with drugs, surgeries, and other modalities — even something like red light therapy — that may help stem the tide or provide temporary relief, but not attack the root cause of something like a cavitation, infected root canal, metal dental work in the mouth, an infected jaw bone or leaky gums.
The Javid brothers founded their renowned holistic dental practice, Smilebody, in Los Angeles where they have patients that fly in from all over the country because of their impeccable skillset as biological dentists and also because of their unique knowledge base and perspective that allows them to embody a whole-body paradigm versus treating the oral cavity in isolation. Their incorporation of effective, efficacious biohacking modalities also lends their clientele to receiving an unparalleled, comprehensive treatment.
If you found the information in today's episode with Dr. Ben & Shawn Javid 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 :)

Before we talk about the research in today's episode, I do review the newest, updated version of the BioBlue Capsules. While there are no changes relative to the recipe of those supplements, there has been an improvement with how the supplement is produced that drastically alters the color of the capsules and likely improves its delivery to the body.
Lastly, I wanted to cover an amazing testimonial that we received about our BioBlue Leuco products and how it completely abolished a customer's IBS symptoms. The interesting part is that they were initially using the supplement in an effort to mitigate and reverse eyesight issues. In the end, they were pleasantly surprised and pleased with the life-changing results they received when their chronic IBS disappeared. While there isn't much research on MB or leucoMB on gut health, it does makes sense that this person saw positive results, as we do have plenty of mitochondrion living in our gut. Mitochondria did evolve from bacteria after all!
As always, light up your health!

Perpetually working on a myriad of projects simultaneously amongst his companies, he has now (along with yours truly) put his efforts towards creating the world's best toothpaste! During our conversation in today's episode, he drops some teasers about the toothpaste and why it will be an unmatched product on the market.
David credits his mentor, whom he describes as a "savant physicist", that we worked with for 20 years for providing him not only with the incredible depth of knowledge that he possesses that allows him to create all of his amazing frequency innovations, but even more so for the way he thinks outside of the box; of as David put it: "I don't have a box."
David is the brilliant mind that helped me create what is now today the BioCream, as well as assisted me with the design and formulas of the BioBlue and BioC60 product lines. We have commenced our next venture together with a leading-edge toothpaste. Stay tuned about the toothpaste your teeth and oral cavity have been waiting for!

As much as I love reading the newest books and most up-to-date research to stay on the leading edge of wellness and longevity, I also believe that some of the most treasured information can be obtained from hidden gems from times of yore. Even some of the most prolific research on how light impacts our health originates from the 40s, 50s and 60s, thanks to John Ott (remember those solosodes, long-time listeners?!). Not to mention, some of the most reliable health and medical strategies were produced from our ancestors thousands of years ago via Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurvedic Medicine, to name a couple. The best techniques and approaches inevitably stand the test of time.
Enter Charles Atlas, "The World's Most Perfectly Developed Man," who was a veritable biohacker way back in the early 1900s — multiple generations before the term came into use. And don't worry, this episode isn't about bodybuilding or necessarily about perfecting our physique. Rather, Charles Atlas created a program in the 1920s - 1940s that consists of a dozen separate lessons where each lesson goes over various health and wellness strategies; ranging from the mental, to the physical, to diet, to the importance of "building magnetism" and much more. In today's episode, I want to go over those approaches that I felt would be interesting and relevant to you all.
Charles Atlas (born Angelo Siciliano; October 30, 1892 – December 24, 1972) was an Italian-American bodybuilder, entrepreneur, and fitness pioneer. He is best known for his mail-order fitness program and for being dubbed “The World’s Most Perfectly Developed Man.” Atlas claimed he was inspired to change his body after seeing statues of Greek and Roman gods at the Brooklyn Museum. His fitness philosophy emphasized health, strength, and self-confidence. Atlas is considered a pioneer in promoting fitness to the general public and is often credited with sparking the modern fitness culture. He was an advocate for a healthy diet and a clean lifestyle.
