Doctor Tries Red Light Therapy for 30 Days (Surprising Results)

Have you heard of red light therapy and its supposed superhuman benefits per Andrew Huberman and Joe Rogan. Well, as an investigator, I couldn't resist putting this therapy to the test for 30 days straight. I was skeptical at first, but what I discovered was truly mind-blowing. The effects were shockingly real and went beyond just physical improvements. Join me on this journey as I share my investigative findings and reveal whether red light therapy is the real deal or just another fad. You don't want to miss out on this one-of-a-kind experiment!

My 6-Month Transformation On Red Light Therapy - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqOuZqeompaaZqM

[@george6252]

I've been using a Red/Near Infra combo panel for maybe 5 years now. Never noticed a energy increase or better sleep. Would have been interesting to know what time of day he used it. I use mine in the early AM. Only thing I have noticed is my face looks much younger than my 72 years. People that have known me for a long time freak out when they see me. No wrinkles with smooth face at 72. "You haven't aged at all" is what I often hear.

[@manikmadaan]

[@george6252]

thank you@@manikmadaan

[@heidih3048]

do you think your skin looks better than it did 5 years ago before you started using the LED light?

[@Aurla-R2-D2]

Hi, Do you use the light panel every day? How many minutes do you use it for? Many thanks, All best wishes

[@george6252]

Often everyday in the early am before shower. 20-25 minutes. Seated very close facial (with goggles) 3 min. front 1min. head turned. Seated each side 1 min. Back up to panel 1-2 inches seated. Standing position very close (want the heart to be radiated) . 1 to 2 min each side standing as well the back. Standing on stool front sides and back of legs 1 min each. Lastly seated with head bowed to get top of head radiated (1-2 inches) for brain radiation. 5 minutes. Near infra red penetrates bone. I try to do this every morning. Hope this answers your inquiry . 🙂@@Aurla-R2-D2

[@shaylaster1607]

Mood benefits is priceless on its own!!!! I’ll be interested to see your year review on red light therapy. Nice video. Thank you.

[@joesmith8879]

glad to hear someone talk about the energy levels lol. I've been using my panel for years mainly during the winter. I work 60 to 80 hours a week always on my feet and use my panel every morning. My energy levels are always high after using it and my sleep is way better. I consider it as a tool to use in conjunction to a healthy diet and optimal Vit D levels

[@Miih94]

Hey , which one do you use? Pls , thanks

[@Miih94]

Is that good for winter time ? This is my third winter in Chicago , and I’m almost dying, I think I cant make it in the fourth winter 😂

Why is it that anytime someone makes these types of videos they talk about all the positive changes and add in "I've also started talking cold showers, no more alcohol, no more meat, I now do yoga 6x a day" etc. We can't ever just get one control

[@denisefowler8575]

[@johnnyx9659]

Great video. Very informative. I'm on the fence about this type of panel.

[@elsagrace3893]

We get more red and near infra red light from the sun and it’s FREE. It penetrates our clothing and sunscreen so no worries about aging or skin cancer.

Red light therapy has been working great for my recovery from a recent double jaw surgery. Swelling mostly subsided in a matter of two weeks.

[@steve00alt70]

Can you do a study with people that have rosacea on red light? And can you link a budget option for infra red light?

[@summerso4417]

OMG, watching less than 2 minutes of the video I already am in love with the information dense and well explanation of the science of this video 🙏🏼

[@alphaomega1351]

I experienced the same positive results. It's truly amazing 👏!!! Well worth the cost!!!!!! 😶

[@stephaniepardo5242]

Red light therapy is also being used for brain injury and they are testing it on dementia patients. It's amazing! A Canadian-based biotech company, Vielight, has developed a new headset that they hope can stop, or even reverse, some of the symptoms of dementia. I think so far it works as well as taking an anti depresant but I am sure it will advance soon.

[@marilunavamu4560]

Hi Stephanie is that the name of the company. I am interested to checkout I have brain injury. Thank you

[@margiestephens7281]

Mania, did you buy half or full body light? I just visited the website you recommended? Thank you

[@user-mt4xe6zg1e]

Gonna try it. What device did you buy and from where

[@es7990]

Hi Manik - thanks for the information. Cool it seems to be working for you. I’m currently in the market to get one. You remember which model you got - the Pro300 or Pro200?

[@bestqooltherapy]

Hi there, what Manik used in the video was Pro200.

[@user-ov5ib5nf5b]

You do look a lot better, healthier. Thanks very much for the video

[@boblossie3192]

I've been aware of the red light therapy for a while now, but I'm ready to make my move so I've been checking a lot of videos. This is by far my favorite one. Manik covers all aspects that concern me and this is the first that suggests books I can read. I had already ordered one from Amazon for just $50.00, but now I'm afraid I've wasted my money. I'll try it out, but might end up returning it and getting the smaller version of the brank Manik recommends. I can't swing the cost of the larger one right now. Is the $50.00 one useless ? ? ?

[@lernenderzukunft]

Half a year later, any updates? Great video 🙏👍

[@tadmarshall2739]

I settled in on 15 minutes per day as my sweet spot. More than some level reduces benefits, so it is worth playing with your exposure duration to see what gives you the most benefit. It may not be the same for everyone. Also, it looks like you use eye protection. This may cause you to miss one of red/NIR light's features ... improvements to vision. You might want to try hitting your face with eyes closed but no eye coverings and see if you notice anything different in your vision in the next few hours. It is quite noticeable for me. Sharpness and color intensity both improve and sometimes it seems like my presbyopia is reduced slightly. Worth a try, anyway, I think.

[@ppw8716]

I’ve ne heard of this. It’s interesting.

[@triciac1019]

I will tell my sister of this.

[@verawol3111]

Can a person with a pacemaker use this. I just got a hand held red light laser and the booklet say not to use if you have a pacemaker. So I wondered if the red light panel was different.

[@medicoboy165]

Hay bro I have a we regarding USMLE? I want to ask you that if someone apply for ECFMGE certification ( USMLE ID and form 186 only) and of he migrate to another medical school so does it effect hos USMLE journey.

[@mariabond26]

I had a few sessions in the clinic and can confirm about muscle pain relief

[@johnstobbscpa8081]

thanks for the video. what time of the day do you expose yourself to the redlight and for how long each time? I look forward to your 1 year update.

[@manikmadaan]

I do it once every other day. standing 9 inches away from the light. Front side of the body 5 minutes, back side of the body 5 minutes

[@mycow313]

Thank you for sharing!! Look forward to hear about your 1 year results. I got a panel recently to help with my mom’s rotator cuff tear. Do you have any recommendation in terms of dosage and duration? Is 6-12 inches away for 20 mins good for pain relief and healing? Appreciate any insight and tips you can share ❤

[@manikmadaan]

That sounds great, but you need to try different durations to see what fits you best.

[@HighMito317]

Could it work with like a led light stripe and change the color to red?? I’m excited to try this!

[@freebk161]

Which panel do you recommend for hair growth. I know that there are number of 'helmets' available in the market but I am confused, can you recommend one for me? ---Thanks!

[@TudorIrimescu]

I think the sleep improvement definitely is due to RLT, I tried RLT once using a very expensive Arri Skypanel light that is totally not made for this use but for high budget film productions, and my mood and sleep were amazing after.

[@pyroluv]

❤😅😮

[@verlatenwolf]

Thats a whole different beast. That is not near infra red.

[@theluckyman74]

Over the years have had serios shoudler pain liniting biking . I think its caused by calcific tendonitis. Will probably try this

[@inezzbeadz]

Thankyou for sharing. I just started red light, I kay n a bed n I felt relaxed n I thought more energy aswell. I go due to painful legs n shoulder. This 2nd time pain still exists

[@celestialstar8115]

Cold showers are effective for energising not for relaxing. Hence they don’t help for sleeping so much. Hot water is what relaxes the body and helps in sleeping. Usually hot water is best at bed time.

[@Bmount_35]

I’m not sure if this is really true for some people. Raising body temp before sleep is not ideal. Most people sleep better when they are cool. Not that you can’t prevent that but I’d say cool shower not ice cold

[@celestialstar8115]

@@Bmount_35 you could be absolutely correct. From my experience I have noticed a hot water bath or shower relaxes the body. Cold water just sends a shock to the body (hence the chills). Increase in blood circulation I guess. Refreshed with energy.This is not what you want before sleep. You need refreshed and relaxed.

[@CruzCreative]

Hot showers decrease internal body temperature and cold showers raise it. Y’all got it backwards lol

[@celestialstar8115]

@@CruzCreative not me. I also knew hot shower cools body temperature. But the other commenter could be right is all I said to them. Hot showers are very relaxing and cool the body. Hence they help before sleep. A cold shower is what one should avoid before sleeping (unless it’s too hot to handle weather)

[@kimberlyf4888]

@@Bmount_35 Hot water can actually decrease internal body temperatures (if not done for too long). This seems counterintuitive, but think of it like a hallway thermostat - if the air gets warm, the thermostat revs up the A/C to cool it down. So, when your outer body feels warmth, you system actually cools your internal temperature to counteract that. That's why warm baths before bed are so effective.

[@Wayinsworld]

I have as small hand held NIR unit and I've used it to almost immediately sooth and remedy oral inflammation in my gums. I was quite surprised at the effectiveness. Never had any dentist recommend NIR for this condition but I guess there is no money in it for him. Seems more focused on drillin, fillin and billin.

[@willbryant9297]

Update?

[@RodNeufeld]

I have to say I do see a difference in the appearance of my skin tone and certain blemishes seem to have gotten less pronounced. I have been working out regularly in the gym in an effort to get back into shape and have seen good progress on this front. That being said it is hard to attribute the the improved feeling of energy and sense of well being to RLT or Cardio and Strength training as anything but a whole and cannot credit a single element with this change. I will continue the 4 to 5 RLT sessions a week as I continue to go to the gym s it is included in the membership, but I couldn't say I would buy a RLT unit for my home use.

One is for my chin/arm and the other is for my waist/back or wherever I can wrap it around. So I am also am also eager to try it along with full body one.

Do not apply sunscreen. You want the light to penetrate through. Sunscreen protects you from UV (ultraviolet) rays. This is LED. Some even say to wear minimal clothing to bare skin. More skin exposure, the better.
