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

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.
As always, light up your health!

We cover the basics of what infrared saunas are, the difference between traditional vs. infrared saunas, discuss the top 10 benefits derived from consistent hyperthermia treatment and more. Possibly, most importantly, I delineate the differences between infrared saunas and red light therapy and emphasize the importance of not doing red light therapy and sauna simultaneously! This is especially important to understand and appreciate, as I have seen more and more often that infrared sauna companies are incorporating red light therapy (either for ambience lighting and/or actual red light therapy panels and other devices inside of the sauna). Long story short: the heat from the sauna inhibits the benefits you would otherwise obtain from red light therapy.
Lastly, we will cover a very, very hot-off-the-press photobiomodulation research article that looks at red light therapy for treating children with premyopia. In a world with exponentially increased screen time, particularly in youths, any type of alternative modality to help prevent, stave off and reverse eye and vision issues is a massive deal. If you have eyes, this study has some groundbreaking results that you will want to learn about.
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.

The second article looks at methylene blue and a new, yet quite similar synthetic dye salt, blue compound called toluidine blue. The study looks at how when used together, they have a synergistic effect against oral squamous cell carcinoma. I need to know more about toluidine blue!
The third article looks at the effect of transcranial photobiomodulation on concussions. This study is a perfect example of a "non-result" not necessarily being a bad thing or that is should be taken at face value. I will discuss why.
The last, and likely most relevant, study I review is on red light therapy's impact on reducing pain and improving function with plantar fasciitis (PF). I've personally never dealt with PF, but I have treated it countless times as a physical therapist and know many other people that have dealt with it -- long story short, it is not fun in the slightest and is incredibly easy for it to become a chronic and/or recurring issue. Red light therapy certainly has a role to play with PF. And, based on my experience, cupping may be one of the BEST modalities in the fight against PF. Did anyone say ReVamp cupping system for combined red light therapy and cupping?

Some of you are likely familiar with cupping and may even be using it on yourself and/or clients/patients. Personally, I found it to be an indispensable tool with my patients and on myself, particularly in combination with dry needling and red light therapy. But it seems that it is still a highly underutilized tool, both by practitioners and the public alike. Perhaps some of that comes from its heavily holistic background that may give it an aura of being mystical. Others may think that it's a therapy you need to be certified in and/or heavily educated in. But I am hear to tell you that it is exceptionally similar to red light therapy in that it is extremely safe and a "very low risk, high reward" modality.
Listen to the end to hear about BioLight's newest product and how it seamlessly combines the advantages of the negative pressure vacuum mechanism of cupping and the mitochondrial-boosting properties of red light therapy into one simple and sleek modality. It's simply a game changer for athletes and health enthusiasts alike!

Top 10 Benefits of Methylene Blue [Top Episode of 2023!]
Sunday Dec 31, 2023
Sunday Dec 31, 2023
1.) Secondary to its ease of crossing the blood-brain barrier, a vast majority of the methylene blue consumed concentrates in the brain, which is why it has virtually endless brain health benefits (i.e., reduced symptoms of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, dementia, depression, PTSD and improved cognition, mood and energy);
2.) Methylene blue has an innate intelligence to help whichever cells are most sick, diseased and/or cancerous first before moving along and helping other healthier cells;
3.) There are only two known interventions capable dissociating nitric oxide from the cytochrome c oxidase (which then allows oxygen into the mitochondria for more efficient energy production; remember, the more energy in a cell = less disease state/more vitality in cell): red light therapy and methylene blue.
As always, (red) light up your (blue) health!

Mechanisms of How Red Light Therapy Works [Top Episode of 2023!]
Thursday Dec 28, 2023
Thursday Dec 28, 2023
For the second top episode of 2023, we are going back to the basics! That may sound boring to some, but for those that really want to understand how red light therapy can by modern day's "magic bullet," it's worth learning (and, for some of you, reviewing) the foundations of the mitochondria and the mechanisms of how red light therapy works. I'm a dork and I love this type of information. I hope you learn and enjoy it as well...
Did you know red light therapy is a hormetic stressor to our cells similar to exercise? This week on The Red Light Report, we are going to review some of the fundamentals of red light therapy that include the two proposed mechanisms of how red light therapy actually works. And while you may already understand some of the basic concepts, I think there will be plenty of new, in-depth information that will add some color to your current red light therapy knowledge.
Especially living in the Information Age, we hear/read/listen to so much information all of the time, that we rarely ingrain any of it. That's why repetition of the same information, particularly when its presented in different ways will lead to a deeper understanding and application of the knowledge.
While listening to the information in this episode, consider what lifestyle changes you could make to further optimize your mitochondrial health (structured water and green veggies/supplements, anyone?). As always, light up your health and enjoy!

"Commonly called Earthing, grounding has been an available source of energy to our cells (from an evolutionary perspective) as long as the sun; perhaps, that is why is has such a powerful affect over our biology. Ironically, just as we have disengaged ourselves from consistent sun exposure (mal-illumination, anyone?) we have ignorantly disconnected ourselves from the very planet we live on. Consider this: the mere rubber between our feet and the surface of the earth may be the largest culprit of modern day chronic health diseases and cancer. Seem far-fetched?
