Episode notes
Red Light Can Boost VO2 Max
- VO2 max improvements have been recorded in controlled trials, linking red light to mitochondrial growth.
- One study showed roughly a 27% average increase in VO2 max parameters in athletes.
Circulation And Nitric Oxide Pathways
- Red/near-infrared increases local vasodilation, nitric oxide release, and improves reactive oxygen species handling.
- Those downstream effects explain improved circulation, oxygenation, and reduced inflammation.
Place Over Gut Or Spine For Systemic Boost
- For systemic energy boosts, place the device over the gut or alongside the spine to stimulate broad physiological responses.
- Targeting core areas triggers systemic circulation and microbiome improvements over time.
