Scott Chaverri: The Light Show—Understanding The Hormetic Benefits Of Red Light Therapy And Outdoor Light Too

Hey listeners, it's time for the Light Show with Scott Chaverri, founder of Mito Red Light! He is doing some amazing work with his therapeutic red light exposure and the familiar panels that you can find on mitoredlight.com, the most powerful and the most affordable red light panels on the market. But, he's also an inventor at heart who loves to spend his time tinkering with all kinds of different technology. And at the end of the show, you're gonna hear about some of his dreams and big picture ideas that are really fascinating—one of them has to do with how unhealthy our typical sources of indoor light are and the popularity of energy efficient LED lights, which are constantly flickering (120 times per second)—something that is not good for the brain. But as you will hear, Scott is actually working on a solution for that, and it could change the planet. In this episode you will learn about the wonderful story of how red light therapy can improve your health and the ways it improves your mitochondrial function will finally be explained in detail so you can really understand all the science and the research behind this and why red light panels work. You will hear some great takeaways from this show, such as why 10 minutes is the ideal exposure time and why more is not better with your red light practice. It was so interesting to hear Scott explain the whys behind the health practice of therapeutic red light exposure—a health practice I have been committed to for the past five years now. Every day, I devotedly stand in front of my panel, exposing my eyeballs and other important balls to the red lights for the optimal duration. If you want to know the science behind why I do this and why this works so efficiently, you will love listening to this informative show with Scott.   TIMESTAMPS: Scott Chaverri is here to talk about therapeutic red light exposure. Many of the indoor lights we have are not healthy.  [00:53] Scott started on this journey of exploring the scientific benefits of red light therapy when he himself was dealing with health problems. [03:15] Red light therapy helps with testosterone. [07:18] How does red light therapy benefit sleep? [10:32] So the safest and most beneficial parts of that UV spectrum are helping with mitochondrial function, cell repair, removal of waste products, that kind of thing. [14:12] If you're worried about photoaging your skin and you don't want to be in direct sunlight, go to a green space, sit in the shade. [20:59] Do we always need to wear sunglasses? [26:17] Spending too much time in the sun is counterproductive. How is red light therapy different? [30:47] So many people tend to trade their health for dollars. [36:11] Besides red light therapy, what else is going on in this area? [40:06] Some people might put green tea bags on their crow’s feet area for part of the red light therapy. Sometimes it helps with hair growth. [42:53] How does a hydrogen water bottle work? [48:26] The LED lights that we are exposed to so much have some drawbacks.
