“It differs from photobiomodulation—often called red-light therapy—which uses low-intensity light to stimulate cellular processes and promote healing and pain relief. Learn more about photobiomodulation in our overview article.”

“The highest concentrations of mitochondria in the body are found in the rods and cones of the eyes, where they support multiple aspects of vision. Findings from a new study indicate that viewing a red light restores mitochondrial function in the eyes of older adults.”

“Red light has the longest wavelengths on the visible spectrum, and previous research indicates that exposure to red light restores mitochondrial function in the eyes of older adults. The current study involved 20 adults between the ages of 34 and 70 years who had no eye disease.”

“A recent study in rats found that photobiomodulation (light-based therapy) enhanced recovery after a spinal cord injury. Researchers investigated two light-based therapy methods using a rat model of spinal cord injury. One method used transcutaneous (through the skin) red-light or laser-light treatment, while the other used an implantable device.”

“These cues signal safety and consistency to the brain, making sleep easier to access. Light is the master signal At night, avoid bright light whenever possible. If you can't, use orange or red-tinted blue-blocking glasses to reduce light's impact on melatonin.”

“###What’s so special about low solar-angle light? Dr. Huberman explains that humans are trichromatic – we have the ability to see blue, red, and green (short, medium, and long wavelength light) and sense differences or contrasts between these colors.”

“Your skin is a crucial barrier to the outside world – the first line of defense against environmental exposures, and the primary means by which the body retains fluids necessary for survival. Consequently, maintaining a healthy skin barrier is important for your overall health. In this Aliquot, Dr. Patrick describes some things you can do to protect your skin.”
