Summary
Do you want to have younger looking skin? How about more energy? Do you need relief from pain or arthritis? Maybe you suffer from Hashimoto's, diabetes, or are at risk of brain-related diseases (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s). Perhaps you have some stubborn fat or cellulite you can’t seem to shed. Believe it or not, there is a therapy scientifically proven in over 5,000 studies to do all that and more! It's red light therapy (and near-infrared light therapy). (You may be aware that I recently wrote a book on this subject, The Ultimate Guide to Red Light Therapy.)
In this episode, I speak with a researcher who is widely regarded as the world's top expert on this subject, Dr. Michael Hamblin, Ph.D., an associate professor at Harvard Medical School. He's a member of the affiliated faculty of the Harvard MIT Division of Health, Science, and Technology and has published more than 400 peer-reviewed papers. Dr. Hamblin will be sharing his knowledge about the science on the amazing benefits of red light therapy.

In this podcast, Dr. Hamblin will cover
- The astounding benefits of red light therapy for neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer’s and Parkinson's)
- What red and near-infrared light therapy (photobiomodulation) is
- How Hashimoto’s patients can treat hypothyroidism with red light therapy
- Why photobiomodulation is a popular research topic
- Are there any areas where manufacturers claim red light therapy benefits (without science to back it up)?
- How to use photobiomodulation for fat loss, and strength gain
- Can you overdose on red light therapy? If so, what are the side effects?
- Comparing LED and Laser devices
- Why photobiomodulation can help during cancer treatment
- And more...

| 0:00.0 | Hey there, this is Ari. Welcome back to the Energy Blueprint Podcast. Before we get into today's show, |
| 0:05.1 | I have an incredibly important announcement. This is something that I really haven't been more |
| 0:10.0 | excited to announce than all the way back in 2014 when I first started the Energy Blueprint. |
| 0:15.6 | After well over a year of development and testing, we are finally ready to officially launch our breakthrough |
| 0:23.7 | mitochondrial supplement to the world. This is a genuine game changer in the area of human |
| 0:29.5 | energy enhancement. And it's called Energenesis. This is actually the first no stimulant, no caffeine, |
| 0:36.2 | and no sugar energy formula that actually builds up |
| 0:40.4 | your own body's capacity to produce energy. Instead of working like caffeine and stimulants by giving |
| 0:46.4 | you a temporary boost of energy for a few hours, but ultimately making your energy levels |
| 0:50.9 | worse over time, energenesis actually builds up your own body's ability, |
| 0:56.0 | your cellular capacity to produce energy. Energenesis is for people looking for real answers |
| 1:02.1 | who want to address root causes, who want to build real energy. So hopefully you've been following |
| 1:07.8 | my work for a while now. And if so, you know that the real root of |
| 1:11.1 | most energy issues almost always comes back to the mitochondria. That's why mitochondria is such a central |
| 1:17.0 | fixture of so, so many of the podcasts that I've done on this show and so much of my own work as well |
| 1:24.3 | as far as the videos and the articles that I've put out into the world. Now, there's two really important layers to this story. I'm really simplifying a vast amount |
| 1:32.2 | of science here into something that's a fairly simple model, but trying to be succinct. The two |
| 1:37.1 | important layers of this, for most people, from the age of 20 to 40, their mitochondrial capacity, |
| 1:43.6 | the ability of their cells to produce energy, |
| 1:45.6 | decreases by about half. And then from 40 to 70, it decreases by another half. So, in other |
| 1:51.8 | words, from the ages of 20 to 70, the research shows that most people lose about 75% of their |
| 1:59.1 | mitochondrial capacity. So just that in and of itself is a massive problem. But there's |
