059. Red Light Therapy: Hacking Pain, Inflammation, Circulation, & Viruses - Dr Mike Belkowski
In this show, I dive deep with the CEO and founder of Biolight, Dr Mike Belkowski. BioLight is the preeminent red/near-infrared light therapy (RLT) company, predicated on providing premier RLT devices & unparalleled RLT education & information so that everyone can receive the health, wellness & longevity benefits of RLT.
What is red light therapy (RLT)? Red light therapy is an innovative technique that utilizes specific red and near-infrared wavelengths from the light spectrum to promote health, wellness and longevity. These amazing benefits are achieved through modulation of inflammation in your body and by reversing and mitigating countless health conditions as a result of boosting the effectiveness of your mitochondria.
Dr Mike has extensive background in the health and wellness world, specializing in chiropractic and dry needling. Dr Mike shares in this episode how learning the practice of dry needling changed his career for the better. He was noticing patients come in and get up to 80% better in just one treatment, and many having no more pain symptoms with long lasting effects. By quelling inflammation and improving circulation, he was able to get to the root cause of all pain. Red light therapy, he discovered had some of the same effects as dry needling as it could do both those things.
I was amazed how many downstream effects that RLT could have on one's body, as it is effecting the mitochondria, and therefore, the systemic health benefits are huge. Everything from weight loss, fighting viruses, reducing pain & inflammation, and much more.
Dr Mike will also be speaking at the Biohacking Congress Event in Miami this year. I'll be there as well and hope that you guys join us. The Biohacking Congress, Miami on Oct 16-17.
