Angela is joined by special guests, Dr. Zulia Frost and Bjorn Ekberg, experts in photobiomodulation and red light therapy. They discuss the benefits of near-infrared and red light therapy, clarifying the differences between the two and how they affect cellular health.
The conversation also delves into the mechanics of photobiomodulation, focusing on the impact on mitochondria and energy production in the body. They explore the optimal timing and placement of red light therapy for various purposes, such as enhancing energy, improving sleep, aiding recovery from exercise, and addressing specific health conditions
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Red light therapy is effective for skin-related issues, while near-infrared light penetrates deeper for muscle and tissue benefits.
- Using the device one hour before exercise can enhance performance, while using it post-workout aids in recovery.
- Treating one area with the device can have systemic effects on the body, enhancing overall health and energy levels.
- To avoid diminishing returns, it's recommended to take breaks after consistent use and not overuse the device.
- FlexBeam offers targeted treatment, unlike ambient radiation from panels or saunas, making it more efficient and effective for specific conditions.
BEST MOMENTS
"I think panels have own goodness about them because you can create lots of photonic radiation in the room for systemic general effect."
"I recommend people to use it before they go to sleep to help to enable better sleep, better energy production in the body."
"The best red light therapy device is the one that you use the most."
"Pre-conditioning, when you use it before you exercise, is actually also accumulative and very good."
