Red Light Therapy: Scam or Science? Here's What The Research Says | TUH #130
About this video
Brecka presents red light therapy, or photobiomodulation, as science-backed rather than a scam, arguing specific red and near-infrared wavelengths stimulate nitric oxide release, blood flow and cellular function. He claims benefits he associates with it include circulation, brain focus and memory, inflammation and recovery, and says a red light device would be his single choice among biohacking devices.
Key takeaways
- Brecka claims red light therapy improves vasomotion, the vessels’ own contribution to blood flow
- He cites research he interprets as linking red light therapy to arterial plaque prevention and brain blood flow
- Brecka presents photobiomodulation as now mainstream and accessible, not only for wealthy biohackers
- He states a red light bed would be his one-device choice at home
