We've all heard that "the eye is the window to the soul," but have you heard of strategically utilizing the visual system to get rid of pain, improve emotions and normalize countless health conditions that are otherwise difficult to treat? Today's conversation with Abe Al-Baba will knock your socks off with both the education he provides and the anecdotes he shares with how he helps his clients reach peak performance and/or improve their overall health status. This is one of the more interesting conversations I've had in quite some time!
Abe and I met at the HYDRATE Summit that was put on by Tracy Duhs a couple of weekends ago. We were there to learn about water, but he and I got to talking and soon discovered that we shared countless other mutual interests. After hearing about his novel techniques for successfully helping his clients, some of which are seemingly beyond simplistic (but have deep neurological basis), I knew I had to have him on the podcast so that he could share his knowledge and stories with you all. He even walked me through a couple of quick assessments/treatments that I can use on myself, including how to treat my vagus nerve with red light therapy! Isn't that something we could all benefit from in this fast-paced, high-stress world we live in?
Abe Al-Baba is the author of Fuel Your Performance™ and CEO of 3 in 1 Elite, a sports performance company. His absolute passion is paving the way to a healthy lifestyle through fitness and nutrition. Abe is one of San Diego’s Top Trainer’s by Discover/Pacific SD Magazine. Over the past decade, he has really embraced the power of neuroscience. With a thorough assessment he unravels specific components that hold you back, ultimately coming up with individualized drills that give your unique brain better input. Furthermore, his book, "Fuel Your Performance," helps any and all optimize their performance.
I hope you enjoy the conversation today with Abe. Please share this episode with family, friends and colleagues if you find the content especially interesting and/or impactful.

As it currently stands, people have been typically been provided with the archaic advice of, "Do red light therapy 20 - 30 minutes every day!" But what if one person has a higher-powered RLT panel or laser compared to someone that has a lower-powered RLT or handheld device? What if someone is utilizing RLT for anti-aging skin versus someone employing RLT for dementia or TBI? Let's not forget that every single person responds to a given treatment differently! So a blanketed statement of advice, such as the one above, never made sense to me.
Thus, I set out to develop protocols that you have all seen in the first four editions of the eBook. But it hit me last year that while that was a great step in the right direction, it still handcuffed a lot of people because those protocols are essentially centered around a particular light irradiance. So I set out to create the ecosystem that is being released today that, again, allows a person with any type of RLT device to produce an effective, nuanced protocol based on what they are trying to treat. Listen to the episode to learn more details!

In today's solosode, we will review two hot-off-the-press articles that happen to surround this very topic. The first article looks at the potential of methylene blue (MB) as a key substance that can effectively address three exceptionally varying brain conditions: traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), ischemia and Alzheimer's disease. At the end of the day, MB has a profound role to play in all of those ailments.
The second article hones in on TBIs and antioxidant therapeutics that specifically target the mitochondria. Based on the abundant information provided in the article (albeit they did not include MB or C60 as an antioxidant strategy; I imagine there results would be even more staggering if they did!), it is quite clear that even in an acute injury, such as TBI, the mitochondria play an ever central role — in this case, both the damage from the physical trauma and also the healing and recovery process.
Hint hint: we already know that red light therapy is becoming widely accepted as an effective modality for treating head traumas, such as concussions, TBIs, etc,. Now we have this new research looking at the impact of antioxidant therapeutics that target the mitochondria. Antioxidants donate electrons. Methylene blue and C60 are some of the best electron donors available as therapeutics. However, unlike most other antioxidants, both MB and C60 can actually get inside the mitochondria. The Mitochondrial Triad has a massive role to play here!

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

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.

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 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. She also has amazing free education and deeper dives via her courses that can be found on her website (link can be found in the podcast show notes).

For quite some time now, I have been working on a concept that is predicated on all of the information I have been absorbing for the past 5+ years about optimizing health, wellness and longevity. And based on my synthesis of all of this information, and information I continue to learn on a daily basis, it has become abundantly clear that the lowest hanging fruit and the ultimate root source of our health and vitality is (surprise, surprise): mitochondrial function.
With that being said, in today's episode I reveal my conceptualization: The Mitochondrial Triad. As the name implies, there are three pillars to this triad. Listen to find out what they are!
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.
