22:41Now PlayingDr. Martin Picard, Professor of Behavioral Medicine and Director of the Mitochondrial Psychobiology Group, explains how a form of light you can't even see may boost your body's energy, blunt your blood sugar spikes, and support the tiny power plants inside every one of your cells.
The conversation centers on red light therapy, now a booming field with hundreds of devices from helmets to hairbrushes. Picard explains the science in simple terms. Light is energy, and for light to do something in biology, something in the body has to resonate with it. The cellular antenna for red light appears to be the mitochondria, specifically an enzyme called cytochrome C oxidase. When red and infrared light penetrate your tissue (through skin, even through the skull and into the brain), they appear to help the mitochondria transform energy more efficiently.
He walks through a striking study on blood glucose. When researchers shined red light on people's backs as they consumed a large dose of glucose, the spike in blood sugar was smaller than normal. They measured energy metabolism through the breath (oxygen in, CO2 out) and found that the people under red light had slightly higher metabolism. The theory: the light helped the electrons from the glucose flow more efficiently through the mitochondria, so blood sugar didn't spike as high.
Discover:
• How red light appears to boost your mitochondria and your energy
• The study where red light on the back lowered blood sugar spikes
• Why red light therapy follows a bell curve and more is not better
• How too much red light can trigger cell damage instead of healing
• What holding your breath reveals about energy resistance in your body
• Why anxiety, depression, and PTSD may be energetic disorders of the brain
• Why the "science of averages" can hide who a treatment really helps
• Why the ketogenic diet has been life-changing for some treatment-resistant patients
