Summary
Scott Chasen joins Dr. Jockers to discuss how red light therapy supports mitochondrial function, skin health, inflammation reduction, and sleep quality. They cover the science of photobiomodulation, optimal wavelengths, dosing protocols, and practical implementation strategies.
Key Points
- Red light (630-670nm) and near-infrared (810-850nm) stimulate cytochrome c oxidase
- Photobiomodulation increases ATP production and reduces oxidative stress
- Regular red light exposure can improve skin collagen synthesis and wound healing
- Near-infrared light stimulates melatonin production in mitochondria
- Optimal session duration is 10-20 minutes at appropriate distance from the panel
