How Light Therapy Can Heal the Brain | Dr. Michael Hamblin on Photobiomodulation (PBM)

Can light unlock the brain’s healing potential? In this episode of Wellness at the Speed of Light, Dr. Michael Hamblin—one of the world’s foremost experts in photobiomodulation (PBM)—explores how red and near-infrared light therapy can enhance brain function, promote healing, and transform the future of neurorehabilitation.

As a former Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School and researcher at the Wellman Center for Photomedicine, Dr. Hamblin has led groundbreaking studies on how PBM impacts brain health, cognitive performance, and recovery from injuries. His research has paved the way for non-invasive, light-based treatments for traumatic brain injuries, neurodegenerative diseases, and overall brain optimization.

💡 What is Photobiomodulation (PBM)? PBM is a cutting-edge therapy that uses low-level light therapy (LLLT) to stimulate cellular function. This process helps reduce inflammation, boost mitochondrial activity, and support tissue repair—making it a promising tool for brain health, mental clarity, and healing.

📌 In this episode, Dr. Hamblin discusses: ✔️ How red and near-infrared light affects brain function ✔️ The science behind light therapy and neuroplasticity ✔️ How PBM can support brain recovery after injury ✔️ The role of mitochondria and cellular energy in healing ✔️ The future of light-based therapies in medicine

Could light therapy be the future of brain health? Find out as Dr. Hamblin breaks down the science behind photobiomodulation and its potential to heal the brain.
