How Red Light Therapy Improves Cellular Function

Photobiomodulation is the scientific term for light hacking. PBM for short, photobiomodulation extends beyond avoiding blue light after dark...

Volumes of scientific literature show that red and infrared light therapy improve cellular health, leading to a long list of health benefits including wound healing, tissue repair, muscle recovery, skin clarification and more.

OPP host Ryan Munsey caught up with Scott Nelson and Justin Strahan of Joovv at the Bulletproof Conference to explore the science behind these benefits of red and near infrared light therapy, along with everything else we need to know about red light and PBM.
