Red light therapy is everywhere. From LED masks to full-body panels, the technology is becoming increasingly popular. But how much do we really know about how it works, and how can we tell which devices are worth investing in?
In this episode of One Thirty Biohacks, Tine sits down with Dr. Erik Reis, a clinician with a background in chiropractic medicine and neurology, to explore the science behind photobiomodulation and its potential role in health and longevity.
Together, they discuss how different wavelengths of light interact with the body, the role of mitochondria in cellular energy production, and why factors such as dosage, intensity and distance matter when it comes to light therapy.
They also explore the differences between LED and laser treatments, what to look for when choosing a device, and why understanding the quality of scientific evidence is essential in an industry filled with bold claims.
Above all, the conversation is a reminder that emerging health technologies are most valuable when approached with curiosity, critical thinking and a strong foundation of everyday healthy habits.
Tune in for a thoughtful conversation about the science, possibilities and unanswered questions surrounding light therapy.
