In today's episode, I review that very study on C60 and also discuss how different types of oils (i.e., MCT oil vs. avocado oil vs. olive oil) allow for different concentration levels of C60. Do you know which oil allows for maximal C60 concentration? That same article also looks at C60 for skin health and demonstrates many ways that carbon 60 can augment our integumentary system.
I also review two photobiomodulation studies that are hot off the press and published this year: one that looks at how red light therapy can reduce the stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) by 30% and another that provides compelling evidence for red light therapy to reduce pain associated with dysmenorrhea.
Lastly, I cover a german article published last month that suggests that dysfunctional mitochondria may play a large role in individuals dealing with migraines. And if that is truly the case, it would make sense that methylene blue would have a major role to play by reversing the energy crisis caused by dysfunctional mitochondria

A Methylene Blue (and Leucomethylene Blue) Conversation w/ Dr. Yoshi Rahm
Thursday Mar 21, 2024
Thursday Mar 21, 2024
As methylene blue becomes more and more popular, it becomes paramount to seek out and learn from trusted sources and experts in the area. Luckily, I was able to sit down and have a fireside chat with the highly-respected and sought out osteopathic family physician, Dr. Yoshi Rahm. What I appreciate about Dr. Yoshi is that he not only speaks about methylene blue from a high-level, didactic perspective, but he can offer invaluable insight and wisdom since he utilizes IV methylene blue with his patients in his clinic. What Dr. Yoshi really drives home about methylene blue is really just how safe it is, even at doses much higher than you would expect!
Thanks to our mutual connection of Dr. Katie Carter, whom plays host in this episode and suggested that Dr. Yoshi and I meet and discuss all things methylene blue, we have an engaging and spirited discussion about methylene blue and also leucomethylene blue, which Dr. Yoshi was less familiar with due to their being a lack of available product on the market (until BioBlue Leuco!). We also cover other topics, such as the new RLT treatment protocol ecosystem I am about to release and why I believe it will become a ubiquitous tool and resource for anyone and everyone that utilizes red light therapy.
My hope is that you come away from this conversation with more excitement, belief and/or trust in methylene blue after listening and learning from Dr. Yoshi. He is a wealth of knowledge and I have no doubt we will be having more of these conversations on the podcast in the future.
I hope you enjoy the conversation today with Dr. Yoshi Rahm. Please share this episode with family, friends and colleagues if you find the content especially interesting and/or impactful.

Imagine being able to wrap your produce in a biophotonic wrap that increases the longevity and quality of whatever is being bundled up. How about the same application, but now apply it to bandaids in order to accelerate wound healing and help reduce harmful bacteria and infections. Next let's move to thin biophotonic textiles that can dissipate heat to effectively cool you down and a variation of that thin textile utilizes your body's own infrared heat to advantageously keep you warm. How about another iteration of those textiles that are efficacious for blocking harmful radiation and non-native EMFs... These are just some of the amazing biophotonic technologies David Horinek has been working on the last handful of years, some of which are already coming to market.
Along with learning about what David has been up to since he was last on the podcast, we unveil what the elusive Third Pillar is of The Mitochondrial Triad! We talk about David's history and experience with this item and why he feels its an invaluable tool for anyone and everyone looking to optimize their mitochondrial health. We further detail its many benefits, its safety, its efficacy and the important variables to consider when looking for a safe and effective product.
Lastly, David and I reveal BioLight's newest creation that he helped engineer and develop. It is yet another cutting-edge product with unparalleled quality that is a must have for those wanting to optimize mitochondrial function and overall health and longevity!
I hope you enjoy the conversation today with David. Please share this episode with family, friends and colleagues if you find the content especially interesting and/or impactful.

Thursday Mar 07, 2024
For decades, the primary thesis for why we age was The Free Radical Theory of aging. However, this doesn't hold up in instances where someone consistently exercises (and, thus, produces more ATP that inherently produces more of the natural byproduct of free radicals) that leads to health- and longevity-promoting benefits. That's where The Mitochondrial Theory of Aging emerges and is currently the most respected postulation on why we age. However, the first rendition of this theory still included free radicals as a main culprit for aging; this was remedied in the second version, which removed free radicals as the central causation for aging and suggested the main source was in the numerous mechanisms lying within the mitochondria. Ultimately, this is the genesis that fuels the importance of The Mitochondrial Triad.
After a thorough discussion on The Mitochondrial Theory of Aging, I cover the third pillar of The Mitochondrial Triad! I dive into the top 10 health benefits and numerous other health benefits that have been proven out in the research. Disclaimer: I never say the actual name of the third pillar and refer to it in this portion of the episode as, "the thing." Yes, I know... very descriptive. But you didn't think I would actually reveal it yet, did you?! We'll save that for next week's episode...
I hope you enjoy the information in today's solosode. Please share this episode with family, friends and colleagues if you find the content especially interesting and/or impactful.

Circadian Health, Quantum Biology & Leptin Sensitivity w/ Sarah Kleiner
Thursday Feb 29, 2024
Thursday Feb 29, 2024
I jump at any chance I get to listen, learn and converse with an expert in the area of circadian and quantum health. Luckily, one of my favorite educators in this domain, Sarah Kleiner, was available to sit down for an engaging chat. Sarah is phenomenal at breaking down rather complex subjects and lucidly explaining the "low hanging fruit" of quantum health with such simplicity, even a cave man could do it! Yes, pun intended.
In today's conversation, we cover an array of topics ranging from morning routines and sun exposure to the importance of eating breakfast and leptin sensitivity to red light therapy's impact on wellness to the role of mitochondria in quantum health to a relatively new theory showing that deuterium-depleted water may be a more important end-product of oxidative phosphorylation than ATP (yes, that token of energy)... and much, much more!
Sarah Kleiner is a Quantum Health Coach with the Quantum Biology Collective (levels 1 & 2), a Certified Nutrition Coach with NASM, and just completed the New Biology Curriculum with Dr. Tom Cowan. Sarah has over 14 years of experience working one on one with clients to optimize nutrition, lifestyle & mindset. Her goal is to shift the paradigm when it comes to circadian rhythms, health & light, and help people integrate these principles into their lives in a modern world.
As I mention in this episode, Sarah has a monumental archive of quantum and circadian health education on her Instagram feed (@sarahkleinerwellness) that you could spend days and days sifting through and learning to your heart's content.... which I highly, highly recommend you do.

The more and more I learn about Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and acupuncture, the more I am intrigued and it just makes intuitive sense. It also helps when you learn this deep and complex knowledge from someone as intelligent and articulate as (now) three-time guest, Dr. Chris Motley. Long-time listeners of the show are familiar with Dr. Motley and his amazing command and intuition when it comes to TCM and other holistic modalities; new listeners.... you are in for a treat! He is by far one of my favorite humans to talk with, on and off the mic.
Dr. Motley not only speaks from his depth of learning the information, but even more so from hands-on experience from his full day's of treating patients. During our conversation today, he details some fascinating discoveries he's made via experimenting with red light therapy and acupuncture points; he has observed some profound results particularly with viruses!
We also take a deep dive into the importance of our fascial system and why it is a crucial (and, unfortunately, a highly underrated and overlooked organ system) facet of our overall wellbeing. Most commonly known for playing a major role in our mobility and flexibility, the fascia plays a much deeper role in our vitality. Dr. Motley and I also discuss the invaluable role that cupping plays in optimizing fascial health, which leads to innumerable benefits that we detail during our talk.
We also delve into some intriguing topics that are of special interest to Dr. Motley currently, including psychological aspect of physiological growth, the connection between psychological stress and organ growth patterns and the exploration of devices that detect static charges on the skin for diagnostic purposes

You just never know who might cross your path in life and when you'll meet someone that you instantly resonate with. Today's guest, who goes by the name of Mito, reached out to me recently to talk about red light therapy and mitochondrial health. After having a couple of intriguing phone calls with him (both of which I wish were recorded as episodes themselves) I knew I needed to get him on the podcast to talk some shop.
What I find compelling about Mito is that he not only speaks from a place of great knowledge, based on his countless hours of personal research into various topics, but he also expounds from a place of experience. It's great when you can regurgitate what a book says or a piece of research, but being able to come from a place of grounded knowledge via direct experiences is priceless.
During our conversation, Mito discusses a multitude of topics ranging from how he holistically saved his daughter from cancer to various red light therapy anecdotes to mitochondrial health tactics to why he's been taking methylene blue for quite some time to passionately advocating for everyone to be curious and learn and become your own best doctor and much more!

Red Light Therapy Anecdotes & Leucomethylene Blue
Thursday Feb 01, 2024
Thursday Feb 01, 2024
The proverbial meat and potatoes of this episode is introducing and learning about methylene blue's reduced version, leucomethylene blue. This is what your body intrinsicly processes methylene blue into that is ingested, but there are some major advantages to taking leucomethylene blue. It's almost instantly bioavailable (as your body does not have to break it down, as it does with MB), the antioxidant effect is nearly immediate (for the same reason) and it has even less toxins than MB (since reducing the MB to leucoMB further removes any metals, toxins. etc; but keep in mind that pharmaceutical grade MB is already very pure. This is only to say the leucoMB is inherently more pure because of it being further reduced and, thus further purified).
The above advantages have led to the following personal anecdotal responses since I started using leucomethylene blue: a more rapid cognitive/focus boost and enhanced exercise performance (I have found leucoMB to function essentially as a pre-workout, but without all the junk and jitters. Just clean energy!).
After being introduced to leucoMB, I then cover a couple of studies that demonstrate its massive efficacy, particularly as it relates to neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's Disease. We already know that most of the methylene blue ingested ends up in the brain — which is no different for leucoMB — but it appears that leucoMB may have a more pronounced effect. I have no doubt that as time goes on, we'll more more and more about the advantages of methylene blue and leucomethylene blue.
Lastly, I announce the release of BioLight's newest supplement: BioBlue Leuco. At the time of this solosode release, this product will be released within the next 24 hours, so stay tuned for more updates!
I hope you enjoy the information in today's solosode. Please share this episode with family, friends and colleagues if you find the content especially interesting and/or impactful.

Thursday Jan 25, 2024
But before we cover research, I thought it would be worth our while to learn from the Finnish biohacking experts — one of which is previous TRLR guest, Dr. Olli Sovijärvi — in their massive tome, Biohacker's Handbook. Specifically, I thought it would be great provide you with some strategies and tactics for your sauna sessions via a sauna protocol they provide in the book. It's a protocol I've used myself over the years and works wonders for detoxing.
On the research side of things, we first dive into an interesting study that looks at pretreatment with methylene blue in neonatals to reduce toxin-induced brain and cognitive deficits. While it may not seem like the most relatable topic, there are a lot of great take away points from the article that I discuss.
The second article thoroughly addresses how the combination of our gut microbiome and dybiosis along with dysfunctional mitochondria and suppressed NAD+ levels set the stage for the dreaded milieu of chronic symptoms associated with Long COVID. While they don't provide solutions for the issues they highlight, it's safe to say that both red light therapy and methylene blue have a major role to play with the road to recovery from Long COVID, based on the root causes outlined in the article.
I hope you enjoy the information in today's solosode. Please share this episode with family, friends and colleagues if you find the content especially interesting and/or impactful.
