    Red Light Therapy & Acupuncture, Fascia & Cupping: A Deep Dive into Health Strategies w/ Dr. Chris Motley [Top Episode of 2024!]

    Over the next week or so, I wanted to reshare the top several episodes of 2024! These are essentially "voted on" by you, the listeners, based on the episodes that had the most downloads over the course of the past calendar year.​​For longtime listeners of the podcast, I think this will be a welcomed revisit of the compelling, invigorating conversations had with these guests; for newer listeners of The Red Light Report, you are undoubtedly in for a treat. Sit back, relax and enjoy learning from some of the best minds and thought leaders in the wellness and longevity spaces!- 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 purposesI hope you enjoy the conversation today with Dr. Motely. Please share this episode with family, friends and colleagues if you find the content especially interesting and/or impactful.   As always, learn lots and light up your health! - Key points: 0:26 - 1:43 Recap of the previous episode.

    The Mitochondrial Triad Presentation, Pt. 3 (Carbon 60)

    We have finally arrived at the third and concluding segment of The Mitochondrial Presentation, which covers carbon 60 (i.e., C60, Buckminsterfullerene, & ESS60). Compared to our two preceding mitochondrial modalities of red light therapy and methylene blue, C60 has been in the human purview for a far shorter timeline. However, don't let that short duration fool you, as C60 has been the focal point of the most sensational longevity study in scientific history. If a molecule or a health habit improves lifespan by 10 or 20%, that is considered quite impressive and noteworthy. In that pivotal 2012 Paris study, C60 improved the lifespan of rats by an unprecedented 90%! Last week, I covered one of my favorite mitochondrial topics at length: methylene blue (MB). The deep dive covered the history of MB, along with the mechanisms, benefits and considerations surrounding MB. In a similar arrangement, I will be covering the same topics of history, mechanisms, benefits and considerations relative to C60. Also, I provide some exclusive information, revealing just how unfortunate and disconcerting the quality of C60 supplements are that you will find on the market. Some contain ZERO carbon 60! That's why quality and buying from a trusted source is a must.

    The Mitochondrial Triad Presentation, Pt. 2 (Methylene Blue)

    In today's episode, we will pick up where we left off last week during my "podcast" presentation of The Mitochondrial Triad lecture I gave last month in Rome. Undoubtedly, you are getting more nuggets of wisdom in this podcast version, as I am able to go down various rabbit holes and dig deeper into the details since there are no time constraints. For example, today's episode that is entirely on the topic of methylene blue is longer in duration than my entire presentation at the symposium in Rome. Last week, I covered the first two topics of my talk: mitochondria (i.e., why they are important for health and why mitochondrial dysfunction is the bane of wellness and healthspan) and red light therapy. This week, again, we will cover the topic of methylene blue (MB) in great depth; including the history of MB, the mechanisms of MB, the health benefits and correlative research on MB, and considerations surrounding MB for those deliberating the potential use of MB for their health and wellness goals. ​​With that being said, make sure your brain is full of flowing electrons and buckle up for an information-packed episode!

    The Mitochondrial Triad Presentation, Pt. 1 (Mitochondria & Red Light Therapy)

    Last month I was invited to speak at a functional medicine symposium in Rome, Italy. This is the same conference where I gave an in-depth presentation explicitly on photobiomodulation two years prior. This time around, I spoke on the term/theory I have coined: The Mitochondrial Triad.​​As many of you know by this point, this Triad is, what I believe to be at this point in time based on the information I have gathered, the three most efficient and efficacious ways to boost your mitochondrial function: red light therapy, methylene blue and carbon 60. The presentation I gave first explained why the mitochondria are the focal point of this Triad and justified why the crux of modern health and disease is predicated on mitochondrial function; or said another way, why mitigating and preventing mitochondrial dysfunction is the ultimate goal of wellness and longevity. The subsequent sections of the presentation are on RLT, MB and C60 and how they positively impact the mitochondria and, thus, can positively affect the vast majority of diseases and cancers.So for today's episode, I decided to provide you with a front row seat to my presentation. Not a recording of the one I gave in Rome, but a personal The Red Light Report rendition, which has ended up being more comprehensive and detailed. Sit back and enjoy the first half of my presentation, which covers the impact of mitochondria on our overall health and red light therapy.​ If you found the information in today's episode particularly interesting and/or compelling, please share it with a family member, friend, colleague and/or anyone that you think could benefit and be illuminated by this knowledge.

    C60 Science: The God Molecule Hypothesis w/ Chris Campbell

    When you jump into the world of carbon 60 (C60), you quickly become hooked because of its many health benefits and positive impact on mitochondrial function; however, the proverbial hook, line and sinker that perks up people's ears are its profound potential for longevity. Look no further than my previous discussion with C60 manufacturer and leading expert, Chris Burres, where he details the unprecedented longevity research results where rats lived 90% longer when consuming C60 mixed in olive oil!If you're like me, you look for high-quality information on such an exciting topic  —  particularly well written books. Long story short, there is a dearth of texts on C60 out there. But today's guest, Chris Campbell, is the author of one of those books: C60 Science: The God Molecule Hypothesis. And it's not just "another" book, Chris's take on C60 is very unique, yet exceptionally compelling. In his book, he takes deep rabbit holes into the history of C60 not just on earth, but in outer space where he posits C60 may have played a role in brining life to our planet. He also has unique insights into the special geometry of buckminsterfullerene (i.e., C60) and its potential quantum biology characteristics. During today's conversation, Chris discusses the many topics from his book, including what The God Molecule Hypothesis means, the various properties and potentials of C60, his thoughts on C60 supplements, the potential of safely integrating C60 into water and much more!If you found the information in today's episode with Chris Campbell particularly interesting and/or compelling, please share it with a family member, friend, colleague and/or anyone that you think could benefit and be illuminated by this knowledge.

    Understanding How Nitric Oxide Affects Our Health

    For quite some time now, ever since entering the world of red light therapy  — but particularly when getting into the realm of methylene blue  — I've wondered what nitric oxide's true impact on our body and wellness is. For the vast majority of my life, I was under the belief that all nitric oxide = good. That was ingrained at an early age with the countless pre-workout supplements I was taking during my heavy lifting days during high school through college. But it didn't stop there. The message of nitric oxide = good and that "more is better" has been perpetuated in the wellness, and even longevity, industries by countless experts and influencers.But how is that possible if one of methylene blue's main actions is nitric oxide inhibition? How is that possible if nitric oxide is a free radical and an environmental pollutant and, thus, is effectively an "electron stealer"?For whatever reason, I have never been able to get a straight answer from anyone on this topic. But serendipitously, I was recently reading a book that provided the most clearcut and sensible explanation that would allow for nitric oxide to be both "good" and "bad". The book is Methylene Blue: Magic Bullet: The Ultimate Mitochondrial Support, by Dr. John Lieurance. As I learned from the book, it turns out that nitric oxide is quite similar to how inflammation can be both a positive and a negative for our physiology; but with some additional nuances through in there. Today's episode is about nitric oxide and the roles it plays in our wellness and what the best strategies are for best harnessing the "good" nitric oxide while downregulating the "bad" nitric oxide.  If you found the information in today's episode particularly interesting and/or compelling, please share it with a family member, friend, colleague and/or anyone that you think could benefit and be illuminated by this knowledge.

    Updates & New Perspectives in the Worlds of Photobiomodulation & Red Light Therapy w/ Dr. Praveen Arany

    One of my favorite guests that I have the pleasure of speaking with all year is Dr. Praveen Arany. This episode now makes it three years running that he has jumped on the podcast to have a highly informative conversation centered around photobiomodulation (PBM). Being one of the most respected researchers and worldwide experts in the PBM field, these episodes with Dr. Arany are always gems. They feel like we (the audience) are receiving the combination of some tantalizing scuttlebutt from the PBM world while also having some FAQs and concepts clarified, which I've been accruing over the past year since our last conversation. During today's conversation, Dr. Arany provides his insight and perspective on the PBM Conference that took place in London back in late August. We also cover an array of red light therapy topics (i.e., PBM), such as the importance of correct dosage when carrying out treatments, clarification on the issue surrounding sauna use with PBM, the role of various color and wavelengths, blue light and its  biological impact and use cases in PBM, red light therapy's potential use for seasonal affective disorder, how PBM can affect oral health and much more!   Dr. Praveen Arany is trained as a dentist and an oral pathologist. He completed a joint PhD-Residency program at Harvard University as a Harvard Presidential Scholar. He has two certificates in clinical translational research from Harvard Medical School and the National Institute of Health. He has over 100 scientific publications with several well cited papers to his credit. A complete list of his publications on Pubmed is available here. He is a recipient of numerous awards and has been invited to speak in various national and international forums, reviews for over 50 scientific journals, serves on 9 journal editorial boards.

    Quality of Methylene Blue is Imperative; Research: Red Light Therapy's Effect on Vitamin D & Blood Glucose Levels

    There are undeniable health benefits when it comes the methylene blue; most notably, its profound impact on the mitochondria. Secondary to that, people are understandably going to be excited and compelled to seek out a methylene blue supplement to start accruing those advantages. And as with any supplement... the quality matters!​​When it comes to the quality of methylene blue for human consumption, it is incredibly imperative. The fact of the matter is that supplements can say that they utilize USP grade methylene blue, yet the lab results still show heavy metals — like mercury, lead and others — can still be higher than what you want to put in your body. I discuss this issue, which is likely more prevalent than we would all like to believe. However, it does verify the high-quality, ultra-pure methylene blue and leucomethylene blue that is sourced for BioBlue products. I also cover two very interesting photobiomodulation research articles that look at unique aspects, and potential benefits, of red light therapy that have not been discussed before.The first article looks at osteoporosis in individuals with complete spinal cord injuries. However, the profound takeaway from that study is ​about serum vitamin D levels. The second study sheds light on photobiomodulation's impact on blood glucose levels. If more research can verify what was found, the demand for red light therapy will skyrocket (via pre-diabetics and diabetics).​​ If you found the information in today's episode particularly interesting and/or compelling, please share it with a family member, friend, colleague and/or anyone that you think could benefit and be illuminated by this knowledge.
