This week on The Red Light Report, I had the chance to catch up with someone that reveres the miraculous benefits of light as much as I do and has an even higher regard for the impact of circadian rhythm.

Bastian is a former project manager, self-taught wood worker and handyman, long-time dog trainer, spiritual explorer, ambassador for regenerative agriculture, circadian rhythms, natural light and reconnecting with nature.

The author of one of my all-time favorite books recently released her second book, which was like Christmas coming early for me! Luckily, I had also met her before at an anti-aging conference and we have stayed in touch throughout the years. So I knew I had to Dr. Sandra Kaufmann on The Red Light Report for some amazing conversation about anti-aging and longevity strategies, especially as it relates to supplements and adjuvants —  topics that she is considered a bonafide expert. In her newest book, Aging Solutions, Dr. Kaufmann covers 28 different agents that she has found to be the most efficacious and backed by science, according to her rigorous research. We cover many agents from both of her books along with Dr. Kaufmann's skincare routine and other longevity hacks she as implemented over the years, including red light therapy!Dr. Sandra Kaufmann began her academic career in the field of cellular biology, earning a Master’s Degree from the University of Connecticut in Tropical Ecology and Plant Physiology. Turning to medicine, she received her medical Degree at the University of Maryland, and completed a residency and fellowship at Johns Hopkins in the field of pediatric anesthesiology. She has been the Chief of Pediatric Anesthesia at the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital for 9 years, a nationally recognized center of excellence.Dr. Kaufmann's avid interest in the science of anti-aging begun many years ago as an intense hobby. Utilizing her knowledge in cell biology, human pharmacology and physiology, this hobby has now become a main focus. The project represents years of non-clinical research leading to the first ever, comprehensive theory of aging. She has now released two books on longevity: The Kaufmann Protocol: Why We Age and How to Stop it, and just recently in 2022, Aging Solutions. This conversation could have easily gone on for hours and hours, as Dr. Kaufmann is a wealth of knowledge in some of my favorite topics and is fun to listen and learn from. I know you will all enjoy learning from her like I did and, if so, I highly recommend you check out BOTH of her books. They are simply amazing resources of anti-aging/longevity information.

This week on The Red Light Report, I will cover two of the most popular topics as it relates to red light therapy: eye health and gut health. There is an abundance of information and research in these two areas — from being able to mitigate, prevent and even reverse eye pathologies to improving the diversity and balance of your beneficial bacteria to harmful bacteria in your gut. Let's shed some light on these two areas of health and wellness! On the previous solosode, we covered the following topics in the eBook: Brain & Cognitive Health and Cancer.   Eye health & gut health are undoubtedly two topics I consistently get a ton of questions about and, not coincidentally, these are two sections in the eBook with some of the most new information added to them (Gut Health is actually a brand new section in the eBook and on the BioLight website).Personally, I treat my gut and eyes with red light therapy at least once a week as prophylactic treatments. Time will tell how beneficial those treatments are! Again, even thought there's only two topics covered this week, I think this is information anyone and everyone can benefit from.

This week on The Red Light Report, we will continue navigating through the fourth edition of the Red Light Therapy Treatment Protocols eBook that I released last week. The eBook almost doubled in size relative to the third edition, as I added a copious amount of information, research and protocols to this fourth edition.   On the previous solosode, we covered the following topics: Important Concepts; Anxiety, Depression & Stress; Athletic & Exercise Performance; and Bone & Joint Health. In this solosode, we will be covering two BIG topics: Brain & Cognitive Health and Cancer. This may be an episode you will want to share with someone you know that is going through one of these health conditions. The information outlined is invaluable. Even thought there's only two topics this week, I promise there is ample amount of juicy information to listen to and learn. As always, light up your health! - Dr. Mike Belkowski Discusses the following: Brain & cognitive health Mitochondrial dysfunction and how it leads to cognitive issues Ways red light therapy can be used trans-cranially Autism Aging and how it isn’t fully understood Treating the cognitive deficits from aging with red light therapy Reversing the aging process in the brain Concussions and traumatic brain injuries Treating gut health Treating Parkinson’s disease Treating cancer - Check out the Red Light Therapy Treatment Protocols eBook, 4th Edition - Invest in BioLight:There is only a week left in our crowdfunding campaign on Republic!

On this solosode of The Red Light Report, we are going to commence digging into the fourth edition of the Red Light Therapy Treatment Protocols eBook. You heard correctly  — the FOURTH edition! I have gone ahead and added an abundance of new red light therapy information, research and protocols. I have even added new sections, such as Cancer, Gut Health and Stem Cells. In this solosode and subsequent solo episodes, I will be covering all of the new information that has been added to this updated edition of the eBook. For those not familiar with the contents of this eBook, it was developed to help people enhance their experience and results with red light therapy by providing specific protocols that will help tailor treatment sessions based on your health and wellness goals. The protocols in the eBook are based on a comprehensive review of the current scientific research and will significantly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of your RLT treatment sessions. The information and protocols should quickly help you achieve the many health benefits of red light therapy instead of relying on the overly-generalized "20 - 30 minutes per day" guideline that has needed updating for some time now. As you can imagine, the treatment protocol for skin health is much different than the protocol for treating joint pain, which is different from the protocol to improve sleep, reduce anxiety, enhance athletic performance, etc. Regardless, we will be covering all of the new information in this newest version of the eBook. I think you will be as impressed as I am with the new photobiomodulation I was able to find in the research.  - Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following: An announcement of new BioLight products Important considerations of red light therapy Best practices  Mitochondria and how they work in “shifts” Timing red light therapy Treating multiple areas in the same day Treating infants, kids, & pets Pregnant women & red light therapy Anxiety, depression, & stress Improving brain function through trans-cranial photobiomodulation BioLight’s research study Improving muscle recovery Lasers vs LEDs for red light therapy Bone and joint health Research on bone and joint health - Check out the Red Light Therapy Treatment Protocols eBook, 4th Edition - Invest in BioLight:Our crowdfunding campaign on Republic is LIVE!

For the second week in a row on  The Red Light Report, I have a repeat guest! This week's guest, Dr. Leland Stillman, you may remember is an integrative medical doctor that has been quite verbose and outspoken regarding his opinion on mandated vaccinations and wearing of face masks. He is also very well-versed on how light and one's light environment can impact health for better or for worse.Very recently he released a book called, Dying to Be Free. Here is an excerpt from the overview of the book: "I believe that if anything threatens the health of the American people, it is the evil agenda of these technocrats, whether they are pushing mask-wearing, vaccination, water-fluoridation, or even things as innocuous as hand washing. As much as it may surprise you to hear this from a doctor, my reasons for concern are based on an abundance of evidence and experience, and are shared by doctors and scientists all over the world." Dr. Stillman graduated with a degree in Environmental Health from Connecticut College and earned his medical degree from the University of Virginia. He trained in Internal Medicine at Maine Medical Center. He has worked in over a dozen hospitals and clinics as a traveling doctor. He spent the early part of COVID-19 working in a rural hospital and later on went viral for speaking out against the lockdown and mandate measures. Most importantly, Dr. Stillman just released a book called “Dying to Be Free.”On the previous episode with Dr. Stillman, we discussed how he analyzes his patients’ light environments, how he offers suggestions to optimize them, how and why he suggests heliotherapy (therapy from the sun), how a dim environment can lead to premature aging and much more! You can check out that episode by clicking here. This is not an episode you want to skip over. In fact, it is one you will likely want to listen to a couple of times and share with your family and friends. Dr. Stillman connects many dots and drops endless truth bombs that massive corporations and the government would rather you not know. Listen with an open, critical mind and you will be sure to walk away with a newfound perspective for what it means to have true freedom. Learns lots and light up your health! - Dr. Mike Belkowski and Dr. Leland Stillman discuss the following: Transitioning out of Covid The catalyst for writing his book, Dying to Be Free Waking up to the power of the sun Benefits of getting more sun exposure in the middle of the day His focus on improving lifestyle habits Problems with the government and regulating health Allowing doctors to do what they need to do How healthcare professionals aren’t incentivized to cure our ailments Negative ramifications of big food, big pharma, and big tech Replacing light loss with red light therapy Understanding how the “game” is being played How community reduces mortality rate Health insurance and why it’s one of the greatest scams in history How the market is rigged Healthcare sharing ministry and how it’s a better alternative to health insurance Hospital bills and how you can haggle them down Suicide rates of male and female physicians vs the general populous How the government is funneling the population to maximize corporate profits Crypto and giving power back to the people Minimizing costs - Watch this episode on YouTube - Check out Dr. Stillman's new book, Dying to Be Free - Where to Learn More From & About Dr. Leland Stillman: Website: StillmanMD.com Substack: Leland Stillman, MD Instagram: @StillmanMD - Invest in BioLight:Our crowdfunding campaign on Republic is LIVE!
