Dr. Jason Sonners and I have traded notes off and on the past couple of years, but not necessarily about red light therapy. He is considered a top expert in hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) and I have been picking his brain about the best ways to use it both with my patients and for personal anti-aging reasons. On this week's episode of The Red Light Report, we take a deep dive into all things HBOT, mitochondrial health and, of course, red light therapy.   Dr. Sonners has always been fascinated by the machinery of the human frame and strives to learn everything and anything he can that might help even one of his patients. Always working to integrate new knowledge and practical experience, in addition to his Doctor of Chiropractic, he earned his Diplomate of the Chiropractic Board of Clinical Nutrition (DCBCN) and his Diplomate of the International Board of Applied Kinesiology (DIBAK). Dr. Sonners is one of only 250 professionals in the world with this distinction. He is currently enrolled at the University of Miami School of Medicine earning his PhD in molecular biology with a concentration in regenerative medicine. Dr. Sonners utilizes his combined training in various modalities to create comprehensive programs and help patients achieve their health goals. His patients are dealing with, among other conditions, a variety of autoimmune and neurological conditions, allergies, autism and cancer. He combines Chiropractic, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, Nutrition, Exercise, Detoxification programs and more to naturally support patients and guide them through their health challenges.If you're interested in learning about a new tool that can boost your mitochondrial health, you are in for a treat! - Dr. Mike Belkowski & Dr. Jason Sonners discuss the following: How he got into hyperbaric How hyperbaric helped him finally feel his foot How hyperbaric boosts the immune system How elevation effects our oxygen levels How hyperbaric increases oxygen absorption Physiological benefits of HBOT Atmospheric pressure, frequency of treatment, and how it affects treatment The pressure and amount of oxygen used to treat inflammatory conditions Anti-aging benefits for the mitochondria How safe hyperbaric is and items you can take into the chamber Conditions hyperbaric helps with Gut health and microbiome as it relates to hyperbaric Telomeres and how they affect lifespan Things you can stack with hyperbaric How hyperbaric helps diabetics require less insulin Red light therapy and how it interacts with hyperbaric How he personally uses hyperbaric and red light therapy  - Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/zV8Mu2WObW4 - - Check out his book: Oxygen Under Pressure: Using Hyperbaric Oxygen to Restore Health, Reduce Inflammation, Reverse Aging and Revolutionize Health Care   Find him on social media: Instagram - @hbotusa @drs_sonners  Facebook - @hbotusa @drs_sonners  YouTube - @hbotusa @drs_sonners    Check out his websites: www.hbotusa.com  www.coretherapies.net   For professionals, check out his certification courses: thehbotcourse.com   Contact him via email: Drjasonsonners@hbotusa.com - To learn more about red light therapy and shop for the highest-quality red light therapy products, visit www.biolight.shop Stay up-to-date on social media: Instagram YouTube Facebook

On this week's episode of The Red Light Report, I had the honor of sitting down with someone that is considered the top breath expert in the world, Patrick McKeown. During our conversation, Patrick filled me in on the many amazing -- and, sadly, forgotten -- benefits of nasal breathing, how to properly breath, the negative impacts of mouth breathing, why carbon dioxide is actually beneficial and necessary to our physiology and so much more!   Patrick McKeown was a chronic asthmatic for most of his life. When he applied the buteyko breathing method, he freed himself from his asthma condition. As a qualified Buteyko practitioner, he is now just one of a few Western experts accredited and authorised by Prof Konstantin Buteyko to teach this method. His three clinics – Asthma Care – are in Dublin, Galway, and Cork.  International best-selling author of The Oxygen Advantage and creator and master instructor of the Oxygen Advantage technique, Patrick McKeown is widely regarded as one of the world’s leading breathing re-education experts. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or an Olympic athlete, Patrick’s methods provide a fast, simple, scientific and certain way to revolutionize your sports performance and improve your daily wellbeing and health. Over the past two decades, Patrick has trained thousands of people around the world to safely challenge their bodies and produce positive changes through breathing re-education. He teaches a new way to breathe, combined with specific exercises designed to improve blood chemistry. The result is an increase of oxygen flow to all the body’s systems, meaning greater endurance, strength and power.  Patrick has also released two books this year: Atomic Focus and The Breathing Cure. - Dr. Mike Belkowski & Patrick discuss the following: His history with breathing and how he became an expert in the area How breathing techniques helped his asthma Nasal breathing, its history, & its impact on your health How lung capacity is an indicator of life expectancy Mouth breathing and its negative health ramifications The impact of breathing patterns on sleep and mental health How mouth breathing is synonymous with emergency and fight or flight How mouth breathing leads to brain developmental issues in children How to be more aware of your breathing habits A simple exercise that can improve your blood flow How to optimize oxygen and carbon dioxide Light, slow, and deep - the right way to breathe How to optimize breathing for athletic training Breathing exercises for kids CPAP machines for sleep apnea Improving air quality in your home - Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/K0XWQLo_HqM - Visit Patrick's websites: Buteykoclinic.com Oxygenadvantage.com   Instagram @oxygenadvantage and @buteykoclinic   Youtube @oxyathlete and @buteykoclinic   Check out Patrick's books on Amazon: The Breathing Cure / / Develop New Habits for a Healthier, Happier, and Longer Life The Oxygen Advantage / / Simple, Scientifically Proven Breathing Techniques to Help You Become Healthier, Slimmer, Faster, and Fitter Atomic Focus / / Harness the True Power of Your Brain, Develop Resilience Against Stress, and Get Focused with Simple Breathing Exercises to Change Your Mental and Physical State - To learn more about red light therapy and shop for the highest-quality red light therapy products, visit www.biolight.shop Stay up-to-date on social media: Instagram YouTube Facebook

When you're talking about energy and how it affects your emotions, it helps when you're listening and learning from someone that has a wealth of positive vibrations himself. And today's guest on The Red Light Report, Dr. Christopher Motley, has those vibrations in spades.   Dr. Motley appreciates the art and science of both eastern and western medicine. To say that one form of medicine is better than the other can only create tension and disharmony. He believes sickness comes from tension and disharmony. Alignment, ease, and detachment create a space for healing. When all forms of healthcare can fall into alignment, in their proper place, the greatest healing for a patient can occur. A practitioner that believes he or she has the only answer to one person's health only creates unhealthy attachments and disharmony.   Dr. Motley believes a healthcare practitioner should desire a space for healing as much as they want it for their patient.Like myself, Dr. Motley started his practice in a "hole in the wall" location, yet he was able to build up his clientele and establish himself as a healing expert with his alternative, holistic treatment techniques that includes Chinese medicine, frequency healing, acupuncture and red light therapy. We got into detail about he early health scares; how and why he decided to forge his unique path as a professional in the healthcare field; his unique and efficacious treatment techniques; his thoughts on energy, resonance, emotions, acupuncture/dry needling and so much more...   Dr. Motley is an absolute joy to listen and learn from. I know you will enjoy this episode! - Dr. Mike Belkowski talks with Dr. Christopher Motley about the following: Frequency therapy Healing with frequencies of light His history and how he got into clinical kinesiology, health scares he’s had, and how he has built up his practice How frequency medicine with sound and light has an effect on your body The difference between dry needling and acupuncture How dry needling is superior to acupuncture for reducing pain The nervous system and how needles interact with our body’s electricity Energy, resonance, and how your emotions are effected by the electromagnetic spectrum Chinese medicine and how the liver is associated with anger How every organ has a different emotion How your emotions can change your biochemistry 5G and its correlation to your body’s energy Red light therapy and his experience with it - Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/H9C_Kbjx7yQ - Find him on social media: Instagram @Doctormotley Facebook @Doctormotley   Go to his website: doctormotley.com - To learn more about red light therapy and shop for the highest-quality red light therapy products, visit www.biolight.shop Stay up-to-date on social media: Instagram YouTube Facebook
