In this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks, Brad Williams interviews Dr. Mike Belkowski, the founder of BioLite, about the health benefits of red light therapy. Dr. Mike shares his journey into physical therapy and how dissatisfaction with the traditional medical system led him to explore alternative treatments like dry needling, cupping, blood flow restriction, and eventually red light therapy.

He explains the science behind red light therapy, emphasizing its ability to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and boost mitochondrial health. Red light and near-infrared light both penetrate the body to stimulate energy production in mitochondria, which is key for overall health. Dr. Mike also touches on the importance of proper dosage, revealing that many popular red light therapy devices don’t provide accurate power measurements, which can lead to ineffective treatments.

The conversation dives into practical considerations, such as how red light therapy can improve skin health, treat pain, and even enhance cognitive function. Dr. Mike highlights the difference between using red light therapy for surface-level treatments (like skin) versus deeper tissues (like the brain and joints), and offers guidance on choosing the right devices depending on personal needs. He also addresses common misconceptions, such as the idea that more red light therapy is always better.

Brad and Dr. Mike wrap up by discussing BioLite’s products, including portable devices and more extensive full-body panels, and how users can incorporate red light therapy into their daily routines. Dr. Mike introduces his "protocol ecosystem," a free tool on the BioLite website that helps users determine the optimal duration for their red light therapy sessions based on the device’s light irradiance and the condition being treated.

Overall, the episode provides a thorough and engaging discussion about the science and practical applications of red light therapy, focusing on its potential to boost mitochondrial health, reduce inflammation, and support overall wellness.
