Recover Faster, Fight Neurological Issues & Reverse Signs of Aging with Red Light Therapy | TUH #012

About this video

In this short solo episode Brecka reviews red light therapy, also called photobiomodulation. He summarises studies he cites on depression, exercise recovery, skin, collagen and hair, and explains his theory that certain wavelengths act on mitochondria by affecting nitric oxide and oxygen use, which he claims raises cellular energy. Brecka notes cautions he raises for people on immunosuppressants, says many benefits overlap with morning sunlight, and describes red light as the final stage of a protocol he promotes combining magnetism, oxygen and light.

Key takeaways

• Brecka claims red light therapy improved muscle performance and recovery in a study he cites
• Brecka argues the core mechanism, in his account, is mitochondrial and linked to oxygen use
• Brecka says red light products vary widely, from masks and panels to full beds
• Brecka states sunlight exposure can provide many of the same benefits he attributes to devices
