Red Light Therapy for Healing Tendons & Applying The Mitochondrial Triad For Fertility

Every so often people reach out to me and request that I cover a particular topic, relative to our favorite subjects on this podcast. So today we are going to take a deep dive into some of those topics that were requested by some of your fellow TRLR listeners. The first topic is red light therapy (RLT) for tendinopathy ​(i.e. pain from overuse in tendons), where I discuss the mechanisms of how RLT​ has the potential to help heal this type of an injury, review the most relevant research and then provide some practical application for what a real treatment would look like with a RLT devce.The second topic is how to apply The Mitochondrial Triad for fertility.​​ I first examine the role that mitochondrial dysfunction plays in facilitating low fertility rates and then scrutinize how/why RLT, methylene blue and C60 may have efficacious, profound potential for improving and optimizing fertility — both from the female and male perspective. I also offer some practical application for each aspect of The Mitochondrial for women and men.​​ If you found the information in today's episode particularly interesting and/or compelling, please share it with a family member, friend, colleague and/or anyone that you think could benefit and be illuminated by this knowledge.
