Episode notes
Transcranial Red Light Boosts Brain Mitochondria
- Transcranial red light can penetrate the skull to boost brain mitochondria and perfusion.
- V-Lite NeuroGamma (pulsed 10–40 Hz) shows published penetration and improvements in working memory and executive function.
Dr Ruscio's Personal Experience With V-Lite
- Dr. Michael Ruscio reports personal cognitive effects using the V-Lite during 20-minute sessions.
- He notices warmth and heightened mental energy around 15 minutes and uses treatments 3–6 days weekly for 10–20 minutes.
Thyroid Protocol That Lowered TPO Antibodies
- Use red light for thyroid with 800–850 nm wavelengths, 2–3 times weekly for ~3 months, then repeat a course yearly to maintain benefits.
- Studies used contact or close application (160s to 14 min windows) and showed large TPO antibody drops and medication reductions.
