"Electrons! Electrons! Come get your electrons!" I love when I cross paths 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 Repor t , 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 desc...

For the better part of the last century, sunlight, and especially ultraviolet (UV) light, has been demonized and purported as a main instigator in many diseases and cancers. By the end of today's solosode on The Red Light Repor t , you will be exposed to the truth about UV light and understand the sad irony of those claims. As a kid, we were all told to put on our sunglasses, slather on that sunscreen and if all else fails, cover up with our hats, clothes, scarves, trench coats.... you get the p...

Parkinson’s disease is the second most common age-related neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer’s disease. An estimated seven to 10 million people worldwide have Parkinson’s disease. Men are 1.5 times more likely to have Parkinson’s than women. The disease affects patients’ quality of life, making social interaction more difficult and worsening their financial condition, due to the medical expenses associated with the disease. These are just the tip of the iceberg, as it relates to soberin...

This week's episode on The Red Light Repor t is the grand finale of the three-part solosode series about light and its influence on the "energetic portion" of our eyes. This rather old, yet profound information, comes from the research of German ophthalmologist Fritz Hollwich and other studies he collected from the late 1800s through the 1970s in his book, The Influence of Ocular Light Perception on Metabolism in Man and in Animal . We covered the following topics in last week's episode: light a...

It's a new year, which means this is a perfect time to learn some groundbreaking, foundational information regarding light and the eye from the early- and mid-1900s. That's correct, I said "groundbreaking" and the 1900s in the same sentence! Beginning on this week's episode of The Red Light Repor t , we are embarking on a three-part solosode series that will (likely) change the way you think about light, your eyes and their impact on your overall health and wellness... and, believe it or not, I ...

On the last episode of The Red Light Repor t this year, I decided it would be fun to take a slight deviation and learn about therapies that involve healing frequencies other than light. I will discuss the healing benefits of sound, specifically 528Hz that is also known as the "frequency of love" and the "frequency of health and longevity." We will then turn our attention to pulsed electromagnetic therapy, better known as PEMF therapy, and the many benefits that can be derived from these frequenc...

On this week's episode of The Red Light Repor t , I thought it would be fun to revisit the most popular episode of 2021! It was the fun conversation I had with the great intellect, David Horinek, where we dive into various aspect of anti-aging, longevity, infrared energy, light and water -- many of which he brilliantly incorporated into the numerous innovative products he created over the years. Equally exciting, David is the creator of the Longevv Revivv and Longevv Recovvr cremes that I had hi...

I remember when I was first seeking a way for BioLight to somehow become involved in a scientific study and have our products validated by research. It didn't take long for my path to entangle with today's guest, Elias Arjan. At the time, Elias was overseeing an arm of Biostrap called Biostrap Labs, which he himself developed to help biohacking and wellness brands run their products through a valid research protocol -- utilizing the biometric data from Biostrap wearables -- to provide scientific...

On this week's episode of The Red Light Repor t , we are keeping with the biohacking theme and staying on "the other side of the pond," with the UK's leading biohacker, Tim Gray. Tim has a seemingly typical story of someone that was stricken with health issues, turned to traditional medicine to no avail and, thus, sought out alternative, holistic solutions. But he didn't stop there -- not by a long shot. Because the biohacking scene was vitrually non-existent in London, or the UK altogether for ...

Last month in Miami, I had the privilege of speaking to biohacking enthusiasts about red light therapy at Biohacking Congress. It was a fun challenge for me in terms of trying to divulge the red light therapy knowledge I accumulated over the years -- from countless books about light to hundreds of hours of reading the scientific research to attending photobiomodulation courses -- and distill it into a presentation under 40 minutes. Luckily for you, on this week's episode of The Red Light Repor t...

Sometimes you just need to recalibrate and get back to the basics; work on the fundamentals of health versus looking for the newest, coolest thing out there. There is a time and place for utilizing new adjuvants and pieces of technology to help optimize your well-being, but what is the point of adding more if your foundation isn't solid and resilient to begin with? That is what I admire about today's guest from Finland, Dr. Olli Sovijärvi. As someone who is deeply entrenched in the biohacking an...

It is always a treat when you cross paths with like-minded individuals and engage in stimulating conversations. Not for the sake of being inside an echo chamber with one another, but more so to learn and grow from divergent viewpoints within the same topic and garnering new information from each other.

On this week's episode of The Red Light Repor t , I had the honor of sitting down with someone that is considered the top breath expert in the world, Patrick McKeown. During our conversation, Patrick filled me in on the many amazing -- and, sadly, forgotten -- benefits of nasal breathing, how to properly breath, the negative impacts of mouth breathing, why carbon dioxide is actually beneficial and necessary to our physiology and so much more! Patrick McKeown was a chronic asthmatic for most of h...

When you're talking about energy and how it affects your emotions, it helps when you're listening and learning from someone that has a wealth of positive vibrations himself. And today's guest on The Red Light Repor t , Dr. Christopher Motley, has those vibrations in spades. Dr. Motley appreciates the art and science of both eastern and western medicine. To say that one form of medicine is better than the other can only create tension and disharmony. He believes sickness comes from tension and di...
