Beschreibung

In this episode 50 of the Uncommon Living podcast, Thomas Seager, PhD describes the science of photobiomodulation (PBM), explaining that red light therapy and infrared light therapy are becoming popular for their effects on boosting mitochondrial health. However, he also suggests that the big gains in photobiomodulation may still be yet to come.While red/NIR therapy devices typically target the cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) enzyme in the mitochondria to boost production of ATP, Seager suggests that wavelengths targeting melanin are more powerful for promoting skin health. In particular, he emphasizes the potential of green light at 532 nm to energize melanin and promote healing of skin lesions, as well as relieve headache pain anr promote relaxation.Seager also reviews the interaction between different wavelengths of light, such as how red/NIR will protect the skin from the risks of ultraviolet.Finally, Seager reveals that during cold thermogenesis, mitochondria make sunlight inside the body called biophotons, and that light will stimulate production of Vitamin D inside brown fat cells, where it can be stored until other cells in the body need it.
