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.
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... Sit back, learn lots and light up your health!

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...
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!

For the last two episodes of the year I thought it would be fun to revisit the top two interviews of 2022! And they are not the top two because I said so, but rather because they were the two most downloaded episodes — you, the audience, have spoken! Genuinely, my conversation with Carrie Bennett was easily one of my favorites, so it is always nice when that resonates with the listeners as well. Enioy learning (or reviewing) health from a quantum perspective...
"Electrons! Electrons! Come get your electrons!" I love when I path crosses 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?
Dr. Mike Belkowski and Carrie Bennett discuss the following:
- How she initially got into the quantum field
- Dr. Jack Kruse and how Carrie has been influenced by him
- Inflammation from a quantum perspective
- Chronic inflammation from daily life and how we get it
- Getting free electrons from nature
- How we are destroying our mitochondria
- Health, wellness & longevity via nutrition

- Melatonin production and how we are deficient
- Cold therapy and its benefits for protein production
- Supplementing melatonin
- Chasing the sun based on seasons and where you live
- Thriving in cold environments with infrared light
- How all disease is preceded by a loss of “EZ water”
- ATP production in the mitochondria

I hope you all had a wonderful past week celebrating the holidays with family and friends! This week on The Red Light Report, I am going to review two interesting pieces of photobiomodulation research: one on RLT for cancer (specifically, melanoma) and another on RLT's impact on CrossFit for strength, endurance and recovery (specifically looking at the impact of treatment timing — is before, after or before and after lead to superior results).
So please bear with me for this episode, but I believe you will find the information covered quite interesting and exciting, per usual. As always, light up your health and enjoy this solosode!

Earlier this month I had a consultation call with a couple of gentleman from Germany that wanted more detailed information on how to best utilize the red light therapy beds they had recently purchased. I figured we may as well hit the record button and capture the conversation since the topics discussed would be interesting for others to listen to. Thus, we recorded an impromptu episode of The Red Light Report!
For this episode, you get to be a fly on the wall and listen to some back-and-forth on how others are using their red light therapy devices, what other health modalities or biohacks they are using to compliment their RLT treatments and also my thoughts and knowledge on how to best adapt protocols in from the Red Light Therapy Treatment Protocols eBook for their RLT beds. As you can imagine, the protocols in the eBook I developed are for 2-D treatments (i.e., flat panels) whereas they need protocols for treating 360° with their RLT beds.
Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following during the consult call:
- 2:28 - Initial interest in red light therapy
- 4:38 - 360-degree treatment and the dosage involved
- 8:34 - The term “biohacking” and why it’s not his favorite
- 9:30 - Cryo chambers and difficulties owning them

Let's dive into some more research on this week's solosode of The Red Light Report. I cover two pieces of research more thoroughly this week, as both of the topics are quite interesting and the information within each article contains valuable red light therapy principles that everyone can apply to their RLT treatments and strategies.
The first article deals with the side effects of cancer treatments (i.e. radiotherapy), while the second article is about using phototherapy for improving cognition in those dealing with dementia. I have a hunch that boosting mitochondrial health is involved with both of these!
I know the info in this solosode will either be great reminders and/or help continue to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the capabilities of RLT and how to best utilize it. As always, light up your health and enjoy this solosode!

Have you heard of the gut-kidney axis? On this week's solosode of The Red Light Report, I'll review some of the newest photobiomodulation research — from chronic kidney disease to bone healing in the mouth to eye health with invisible light.
While some of the research topics seems rather specific (i.e., chronic kidney disease), the information in each article and their findings are quite profound and have far-reaching implications. Furthermore, the details outlined in this research continues to reinforce vital principles of red light therapy along with fortifying the countless ways that red and near-infrared light can heal our cells, tissues, organs and beyond.
We all have kidneys (and, thus, gut-kidney axes), bones and eyes, so the information in this episode applies to anyone and everyone. As always, light up your health and enjoy this solosode!
