So welcome to the Dr. Gundry Podcast. Over 20 years ago, scientists began experimenting

with this technique to see if they could actually grow plants in outer space.

And it worked.

Which got scientists thinking, maybe just maybe the same method could increase energy inside our cells. It's called red light

therapy and it's currently being used by thousands of elite athletes and other

high performers to improve their energy and recovery.

And there's emerging evidence that it could actually help you improve the complexion of

your skin, diminish wrinkles, reduce morning stiffness and soreness,

improved joint health and even regrow hair.

Well, my guest today is Scott Nelson, the co-founder of Juve, a company at the forefront of red light therapy.

We're going to talk about the science behind red light therapy, how it works, and how you can use red light therapy to

improve your energy. Scott, so glad to have you on the Dr. Gendry

podcast. It's a pleasure to be here. This is great. So let's start with red light therapy. What the

heck is it so our listeners at home can understand it and I know you brought a little baby red light therapy with you and you're going to have to

describe all about this for people who are listening rather than viewing.

How does it work?

So we'll start high level and then maybe have the opportunity to go a little bit deeper into the science as I'm sure you'll want to but the best analogy that I can use for red light therapy or in the world of academia it's referred to as photo

biomodulation is to use food as a parallel. Most people that are

watching or listening to the show are familiar with how our bodies metabolize or respond physiologically to different

macro nutrients, right?

Proteins, carbs, fats.

Well, the same sort of concept holds true when it comes to different wavelengths of light. So UV light versus bright white light
