![Mitochondrial Fundamentals]()
June 23, 2022
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!

June 16, 2022
It's a bittersweet moment on this week's episode of The Red Light Report, as we are finally concluding our adventure through the third edition of the Red Light Therapy Treatment Protocols eBook. As a quick reminder, this eBook is something I have developed over the past three-years plus based on everything I have read, heard, watched, listened to, etc. about red light therapy.
In the previous solosode, I covered the following three topics outlined in the eBook: skin health, sleep and thyroid health. For each health condition, I discuss how red light therapy can benefit that particular condition and then follow that up with what the photobiomodulation research has to say about that health condition.
In this solosode, I will be discussing the last several topics in the eBook: women's health, wound healing, safety and other considerations. Once again, there is a lot of fabulous information covered and will give you a well-rounded perspective on the healing potential of red light therapy.
