Join Dr. Pinkston and her esteemed guest, pharmacist and expert on anti-aging and metabolic health, Jim LaValle, as they dive into the science and benefits of Red Light Therapy, also known as photobiomodulation. They discuss how this non-invasive therapy works by utilizing specific wavelengths of light—ideally in the mid-600s and mid-800s—to stimulate collagen synthesis (for improved skin and anti-aging), boost nitric oxide production (for better circulation), and enhance ATP production (for increased cellular energy and mitochondrial health).

LaValle explains how the different wavelengths penetrate tissues, with the shorter waves targeting the skin and the longer, near-infrared waves (800s) penetrating deeper to help with inflammation, muscle soreness, and overall cellular repair. The discussion also covers:

• Optimal usage (timing and frequency) and best forms (whole-body beds/blankets vs. panels/masks).

• Potential benefits for conditions like fibromyalgia, post-exercise recovery, and skin issues like psoriasis.

• Crucial supplements to combine with red light therapy for maximized benefits, including NAD+ boosters (like Nicotinamide Riboside), CoQ10, Magnesium, collagen peptides (with Vitamin C), and Methylene Blue (USP grade).

• Important warnings, especially regarding photosensitizing medications and pre-existing conditions.

• New diagnostic tests, like the MeeScreen, for assessing mitochondrial health.
