ABOUT THE EPISODE
What does red light therapy do to your body, and is it worth the hype? I sat down with Dr Carl Rothschild, a chiropractor of 46 years who has worked with red light for 25 of them, makes full body red light beds and wrote the book Illuminated Healing.

Carl walks through the two ways he says red light works: through the mitochondria that make your energy, and through tiny pores that let fat leave fat cells. We get into why near infrared differs from the far infrared in a sauna, why he calls heat the enemy, why he says 12 to 15 minutes is a full dose, and who he keeps out of the bed.

I also push him on the snake oil label and on whether a cheap home panel is worth your money, and he shows you how to check the research on Google Scholar.
