Fighting the Winter Blues Naturally: Red Light Therapy for Mood, Anxiety & Seasonal Depression

What if the low energy, the flat mood, and the creeping anxiety that show up every winter aren't just in your head — they're in your cells? In this episode of the Red Light Therapy Podcast, Mike Volkin and longevity specialist Dr. Alan Inman tackle seasonal mood dips head-on, explaining how red and near-infrared light therapy supports the biological systems that take the biggest hit when sunlight disappears. Learn the biological mechanisms behind why shorter days tank your mood and what red light does about each of them, how mitochondrial energy production connects to emotional resilience and stress tolerance, what the parasympathetic nervous system shift from red light exposure feels like and why it matters for anxiety, whether serotonin is directly influenced by photobiomodulation or if the effect is indirect, and how to structure sessions across morning and evening for maximum mood benefit.
