Description: Have you ever considered that the secret to healing your body might be as simple as flipping a switch? Today, we're joined by Scott Kannedy, an authority in photobiomodulation, who enlightens us on the power of red and near-infrared light in catalyzing the body's own healing process. Listen in as we navigate the fascinating world of light therapy, and how it aids in enhancing our body's energy production, thereby balancing our systems and helping manage an array of health concerns. In our journey of discovery with Scott, we delve into the wonders of nitric oxide and reactive oxygen species, learning about their significant roles in our bodily functions. We also explore the intriguing concept of how stress can actually impel our bodies to become stronger and more efficient. Unravel the relationship between red light therapy, photobiomodulation, and inflammation, and how these can bolster the efficiency of the microbiome for weight loss. As the discussion unfolds, we learn about the use of methylene blue in photobiomodulation and its intriguing photosensitivity to red light. And if you've ever wondered about the efficacy of light therapy devices, Scott gives us a balanced view of the pros and cons, along with some practical advice on budget considerations, consistency, and the best timing for therapy sessions.

It's not often just the surface of the skin that's responding to something. It's a systemic issue that's expressing itself through the skin. The best time to use red light therapy is whenever you can. In order to fully benefit from it, you need to use it consistently. There is a difference between red light and infrared light. Red light only goes a bit beyond skin deep and that's because it's absorbed mainly by the blood. Once it hits that capillary bed under the skin, that's about as far as it goes. Now there's always systemic effects, because we get all the benefits of increased ATP, and that information gets delivered to deeper parts of the body. However, infrared light goes significantly deeper than red.
