my partner brought me one of those big red light panels for Christmas it was my Christmas present and funnily enough guess what my Christmas present to her was as well yeah you get a bed or did you get the panels the panels it so funny you get like juo or I have no idea what' you get okay I have no idea the brand but but she brought me one it's like a small one and then I was like babe open your present and then I opened she opened hers and hers was like a big one she's like literally half the size of me so it's was quite sweet swap um but we now both use it it's a bit of a routine in the morning we wake up we go and sit down by it and I'm not really sure what's it's doing I've just heard a lot of positive things I've done a little bit of my own research on it and how to use it to make sure I'm not like killing myself somehow but um what is it doing and why should everyone consider getting one so it's it's referred to in the literature it's photobiomodulation photobiomodulation so if you want to look up any of the clinical studies put photobiomodulation and then put and dementia and Alzheimer's and skin and um inflammation and and the studies will come up but basically different nanometers of of of Light have different effects in the body and um so they are um well researched and and publicized to reduce inflammation um increase microvascular circulation so the smallest of the capillaries in our body are affected by light um they have a very very specific effect in the mitochondria the PowerHouse of the cell so if you actually went through the wall of a cell and into the cytoplasm and found the mitochondria and you went into the mitochondria you'd see that there's a motor in there that's spinning around it's called the KB cycle and this motor when it spits out energy called ATP um you know essentially it has two choices every time it makes a revolution right it it can either create two units of energy or it creates 36 units of energy it's either 16 times more efficient or 16 times less efficient and what determines that is whether or not oxygen enters that cycle so one of the things that red light does is it goes through the wall of the mitochondria and it kicks out a gas called mitochondrial nitric oxide and forces oxygen to dock so when you get into a red light therapy bed or use red light therapy panels one of the things that's happening is you're essentially forcing oxygen into the mitochondria you're forcing the oxygen to use mitochondria and release a gas called mitochondrial nitric oxide this is also measurable by the way you can get saliva nitric oxide strips you could put it in your mouth and before you got in a red light therapy bed you could look at the saliva um the amount of nitric oxide in your saliva you'd see it's like a pale kind of yellowish pink then you get in one of those red light therapy beds for 20 minutes and about 10 minutes after you get out test it again you'll see that your Nitro oxide levels are through the roof that's a positive sign that the mitochondria has thrown this gas out and brought oxygen in and it's imagine what happens in a cell when you give it 16 times the amount of energy so imagine upstaging trillions of cells to allow them to eliminate waste repair detoxify regenerate just by using light it also has a very positive effect on collagen elastin fibrin um it's known to improve angiogenesis the new blood vessel formation I was I was on the uh Joe Rogan's podcast a few months ago and um he ended up buying one of these red light um beds uh from me and we installed it in his house and he told me about four or five weeks ago that he's no longer wearing wearing readers anymore like his his eyesight has improved that much and he said he's starting to really notice the changes in his skin so photobiomodulation is very real and it absolutely works but um you know without people having to think that they have to spend that kind of money on a red light therapy bed you can also just expose your skin to sunlight especially during first light the first 45 minutes of the day when there's no UVA there's no UVB there's high amounts of healthy blue light um you can still generate vitamin D3 let me just run that back so I'm clear um on the point about Rogan's eyesight I did some I was looking through some research about the impact of red light on eyesight and it said that it's good for eyesight and so incredibly good for eyesight because I was wondering whether I should be looking at this thing while it's on yes and then I went online Googled it had a rumage around and it said you can look at it you can stare at it you can yeah you can because remember there's no UVA there's no UVB um and and and some of the marginal information that comes com out about red light being damaging to you you you have to remember that red light is a spectrum infrared for example is a spectrum most most red light therapy beds run from 600 um nanometers to about a th000 nanometers wavelength of light as you get above that you're you're in the infrared Spectrum but you're going all the way to 1,00 maybe even above so so in other words when you say infrared light this is a non-visible spectrum of light but there's a there's a broad number of wavelengths right so an infrared um red light bed will have infrared light but it will be very low in the Spectrum so it doesn't create heat doesn't excite a chromophor that creates vibration and makes you sweat when you get an infrared sauna you're getting very high into those wave lengths you're exciting a different chromophor in the body and your water water to be specific and it vibrates and creates heat and you start to sweat so you don't sweat in a red light therapy bed even though it's infrared low in the Spectrum but you do sweat in and infed sauna um even though it's infrared light it's high in the Spectrum so the infrared light in the red light that comes from Red um red light beds and red light panels and face masks is incredibly beneficial for you I mean I I would be scared to even tell you all the the positive outcomes that we've SE in people that regularly use red light therapy because you can't really make medical claims around them but I can tell you firsthand we have seen just astounding things that people would probably consider Miracles with red light therapy you mentioned the first 45 minutes of sunlight mhm first light because I'm try I always trying to try and figure out the sort of evolutionary backstory to red light and where it came from in nature and why it was good for us as humans and why we've lost it those are the three sort of questions we're really photovoltaic beings I mean we're very tied to the Circadian cycle of the sun I mean light causes the body to behave in very special ways I mean you know you probably heard that getting first light can actually res set your circadian cycle and do more for you to sleep that night than probably just about any other sleep habit so your sleep routine really starts with your morning routine and it has a an effect on cortisol receptors it has effect on dopamine I mean on on melatonin receptors remember cortisol is a hormone that responds to light right I mean um when our light when our eyes are closed and light is passing through our eyelids it has a tendency to raise our cortisol levels which is why they tell you not to use blue light at night right you're stimulating cortisol and you're stimulating a waking hormone when you actually trying to go to sleep so by getting first light you're you're you're telling the body that it's that it's morning you know you're you're raising cortisol you're downregulating your melatonin receptors you're getting healthy blue light into your eyes you're getting healthy light onto your skin there's no UVA there's no UVB none of the damaging rays of of the Sun and in 15 or 20 minutes if if you stack them all together you can ground get do breath work and get sunlight just try for seven days what if I have the red light at night time is that going to check my body into thinking it's the morning no the red light won't won't do that it's completely different it's not the it's not the blue light spectrum that we're talking about so I can have red light anytime day you can have red light anytime in fact red light I find it very relaxing I sometimes will do my um my red light bed right before bed sleep like a baby we've been doing that as well at home so I was just checking I did Google to to see if it was something that would wake me up but no you're right blue light is the thing that wakes us if you love the dver CEO brand and you watch this Channel please do me a huge favor become part of the 15% of the viewers on

  1. Listening to this while sitting in front of my panel. Besides the genuine benefits, placebo effect is a real thing too – might as well use it.

  2. Can this be used with known cancers?

  3. I had carpal tunnel and two trigger fingers surgery all at the same time and I use red light therapy that’s design pull your foot but I put my hand in it an hour three times a day after the surgery and within two weeks I’ve received about probably a month and a half of healing and I’m not joking. There is something to it that speeds up healing and actually helps with pain.

  4. What are some good red light panels that are least under $1000 that I can use daily? I wish I had a full body panel, but I might just have to get a smaller one and use it on different parts of my body.

  5. What device i should use to heal stubborn sinus congestion with no mucus

  6. Great stuff mire awareness is needed. Have been using for over 12 years it fantastic

  7. Please help-Which full body lights for inflammation and cognitive benefits does he recommend?

  8. FYI Your mitochondria go to sleep in the evening so it is best to do red light therapy in the mornings!

  9. So a hyperbaric session after infared/red light sauna should work wonders uptakin even more oxygen

  10. 1:40 The Krebs Cycle is not a motor inside the mitochondria. It is a series of reactions that create the precursors for the Electron Transport Chain reactions that produce ATP.

  11. so many red lights out there…. what's recommended ( brand names and model numbers in UK would be VERY useful) thanks

  12. What frequency or wavelength or whatever:

  13. I ordered a red light panel today, can®t wait to see the benefits of this! 😌

  14. Why am I unsubscribed?
    đŸ€”đŸ§đŸ€š

  15. Anytime I watch tv ( a couple times a week) I just set up the red lights on me. It’s impossible not to do!

    I use to set time aside to do it alone but that’s a waste. Now it’s either with the tv or when mediating or red lights above my treadmill. All done shirtless.

  16. how long should one stay in front of a standard panel, five or 10 minutes?

  17. Sorry. You’d didn’t include the number one problem that causes weight gain. Insulin. You can’t gain weight if you don’t trigger I insulin so you must reduce carbohydrates so insulin isn’t triggered. With less carbs you’ll loose weight and maintain weight loss. Follow Ben Bikman to learn about this.

  18. Can you use a red light bulb

  19. Can i use this for both red and NIR without eye protection?

  20. If you have a smaller red light device – where’s the most effective place to put the device
 facing what part of your body? Presuming you don’t have any known injuries or health concerns.

  21. I’m new to red light therapy and the panel I bought came with glasses and a warning to not look at the lights. Anyone know why?

  22. thank you so much.. very informative..

  23. In a few days it'll be 2 months since I started my therapy for my neuropathy on my feet and my diabetic ulcers have healed.

  24. Think we know why they are spraying the skies now, will do the complete opposite of what this does.

  25. how does one figure out the dosage? distance, and time?

  26. What are the better brand of red light panels in the uk? I’m making a wellness cabin in my garden I’m looking to add them in there. Thanks

  27. I’ve been using red light therapy for about a week. I am not joking when I say my chicken skin, the irritating ugly hard red bumps all over my arms and legs are 90% GONE for the first time in my entire life. I haven’t seen any anti aging yet and can’t really say I feel better energy wise or mods wise yet or maybe I don’t realize it but my skin has never been this smooth. I’m sold. I use it for at least an hour a day though and just lay in the red light and watch a movie. It’s so relaxing!

  28. I love ur shows. Amazing guests !

  29. How
    Long can u look into the red light therapy for your eyes ?

  30. Another great post. Prof Glen Jeffrey has done some very thourgh trials on Photobiomodulation. He comes to a few surprising conclusions.

  31. LOL @ the Joe Rogan bullshit. He sells ‘brain pills’ too. Huge red flag for this guy.

  32. Always BUGS me when they start with evolutionary scale etc' Bye bye am not related to apes

  33. The best Red Light therapy products are from REDLIGHTMAN in the UK

  34. I bought a panel a year ago. It has smoothed my face and my stomach is flatter because I wrap it a few times a week. Game changer.

  35. Ive been using it for a year. I started going to the Red Light District

.I think im sick now. It doesnt work😊

  36. Doesn’t mention the reactive oxygen species that are a byproduct of increased oxidative phosphorylation in ATP generation.

  37. Krebs “spits out” very little ATP, it’s the downstream process of oxidative phosphorylation that generates most of the ATP in mitochondria and hence cells in our body.
