Summary

In this episode, I’m back for the second part of my conversation with Dr. Mark Cronshaw, a highly respected expert in photobiomodulation (PBM), more commonly known as red light therapy.

The same warning applies to this episode as part 1! Again, this conversation is not a simple “how to” practical guide to photobiomodulation. It’s a continuation of going very deep into the scientific, technical, and even theoretical nuances of PBM based on Dr. Cronshaw’s vast research and clinical understanding of the topic.

Be prepared for lots of nerdy PBM science, along with a few practical pearls as our discussion unfolds.

Please listen to part 1 if you haven’t already, and leave any questions you have in the comments on YouTube…we’ll do our best to answer questions in future episodes.

0:00.0	Hey, this is Ari. Welcome back to the Energy Blueprint Podcast with me in this episode for part two of our conversation on photo biomarkation on the interaction of light and human biology, with a particular emphasis
0:23.5	on red light therapy and near end red light therapy, is Dr. Mark Cronshaw, who is one of the
0:31.3	world's foremost experts on photo biomodulation. He has an extraordinarily long list of credentials in this field that I went over in the first episode we did.
0:42.4	This is a very long conversation. I think very, very highly of him. Obviously, I'm doing a probably a four-part podcast series with him.
0:51.9	I think he's absolutely brilliant. I think he represents sort of the leading
0:56.1	edge of thought in this field. And this gets into part two, which I think this episode alone is
1:05.7	over two hours of conversation. So he's got a whole lot of knowledge and expertise to share in this field.
1:12.2	This episode gets into a number of lines of sort of the leading edge of progressive thought
1:20.9	within the PBM, the photo biomodulation research community and sort of the some of the newer theories and hypotheses, I should say,
1:31.2	of how light is interacting with our biology, different wavelengths, lots of aspects of
1:39.6	dosymmetry. Dr. Cronshaw is probably the leading expert in the world when it comes to PBM
1:47.0	dosymmetry. And what else can I share with you? We get into a lot of different, I ask him about a lot of
1:55.0	controversial areas, areas where different researchers and different thinkers in this field have different opinions and interpretations of the evidence.
2:04.6	I think he brings a lot of clarity to that.
2:07.6	And if you're interested in going deep into the science of photo biomodulation, I think you're going to absolutely love this conversation.
2:15.6	The last two things I want to share with you are, one, make sure you listen to part one first.
2:21.5	It might be hard to track some of the topics that are discussed in this episode if you haven't
2:26.9	listened to the initial episode that I did with Dr. Crenshaw.
2:31.2	And the last thing is just a warning. Again, this goes very, very deep into PBM photobiomodulation
2:39.4	science. There's a lot of technical aspects. There's a lot of jargon, things like millawatts per square
2:46.2	centimeters, jargony terms related to lasers versus LEDs.
2:51.6	It can be pretty technical at times to follow and to track what Dr. Cronshaw is explaining.
