Speaker:

Rob

Welcome to the VP Life podcast, the show

2

00:00:03,125 --> 00:00:04,166

Rob

where we bring you actual

3

00:00:04,166 --> 00:00:05,875

Rob

health advice from leading minds.

4

00:00:06,791 --> 00:00:07,666

Rob

I'm your host, Rob.

5

00:00:08,333 --> 00:00:10,666

Rob

My guest today is Brian Gull, an

6

00:00:10,666 --> 00:00:12,458

Rob

ex-carpenter turned health enthusiast.

7

00:00:13,250 --> 00:00:15,000

Rob

Brian is on a mission to educate people

8

00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,208

Rob

on how red light therapy can help improve

9

00:00:17,208 --> 00:00:18,750

Rob

mitochondrial function and

10

00:00:18,750 --> 00:00:20,250

Rob

support health and wellness.

11

00:00:21,583 --> 00:00:23,666

Rob

Expect to learn the differences between

12

00:00:23,666 --> 00:00:26,500

Rob

red and near-infrared light, why red

13

00:00:26,500 --> 00:00:28,416

Rob

light therapy isn't a replacement for

14

00:00:28,416 --> 00:00:30,750

Rob

sunlight, and how red light works to

15

00:00:30,750 --> 00:00:31,875

Rob

support your mitochondria.

16

00:00:32,791 --> 00:00:33,750

Rob

Now, on to the

17

00:00:33,750 --> 00:00:35,541

Rob

conversation with Brian Gull.

18

00:00:36,166 --> 00:00:37,041

Rob

Good morning, Brian, and

19

00:00:37,041 --> 00:00:38,041

Rob

thank you for joining us.

20

00:00:38,041 --> 00:00:40,375

Rob

I've been wanting to have someone in this

21

00:00:40,375 --> 00:00:42,500

Rob

space now who's an expert on red light

22

00:00:42,500 --> 00:00:45,166

Rob

therapy for a while, so I'm excited to

23

00:00:45,166 --> 00:00:46,083

Rob

have this conversation.

24

00:00:47,375 --> 00:00:50,208

Rob

In all honesty, I've not yet woken up,

25

00:00:50,208 --> 00:00:52,625

Rob

and I'm honestly abusing the living

26

00:00:52,625 --> 00:00:54,791

Rob

daylights of my identity and receptors

27

00:00:54,791 --> 00:00:55,791

Rob

with a bunch of caffeine.

28

00:00:56,625 --> 00:00:58,875

Rob

So while that kicks in, would you be so

29

00:00:58,875 --> 00:01:00,500

Rob

kind as to introduce

30

00:01:00,500 --> 00:01:01,375

Rob

yourself to the audience?

31

00:01:02,500 --> 00:01:04,083

Rob

I may have stalked you a little on your

32

00:01:04,083 --> 00:01:05,458

Rob

website and Instagram in

33

00:01:05,458 --> 00:01:06,916

Rob

preparation for this podcast.

34

00:01:07,916 --> 00:01:11,458

Rob

And yeah, I know you subsequently have a

35

00:01:11,458 --> 00:01:12,291

Rob

bit of a story there.

36

00:01:12,958 --> 00:01:14,541

Rob

So yeah, I'll hand the floor over to you,

37

00:01:14,541 --> 00:01:15,291

Rob

and we can go from there.

38

00:01:16,291 --> 00:01:17,458

Bryan Gohl

Of course, Rob.

39

00:01:17,458 --> 00:01:19,000

Bryan Gohl

Thank you so much for inviting me and

40

00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,125

Bryan Gohl

having me on, of course.

41

00:01:21,458 --> 00:01:22,500

Bryan Gohl

Always happy to have a chat.

42

00:01:23,083 --> 00:01:25,750

Bryan Gohl

Yeah, so my name is Brian, and I am one

43

00:01:25,750 --> 00:01:27,916

Bryan Gohl

of the co-founders of a company in the

44

00:01:27,916 --> 00:01:29,458

Bryan Gohl

UK, based in the UK,

45

00:01:29,458 --> 00:01:31,250

Bryan Gohl

called Red Light Rising.

46

00:01:31,541 --> 00:01:34,541

Bryan Gohl

And we specialize in red light therapy

47

00:01:34,541 --> 00:01:37,750

Bryan Gohl

devices of all sorts of shapes and sizes

48

00:01:37,750 --> 00:01:40,666

Bryan Gohl

for all sorts of budgets, but also for

49

00:01:40,666 --> 00:01:43,000

Bryan Gohl

all sorts of health benefits as well.

50

00:01:44,375 --> 00:01:44,625

Rob

Perfect.

51

00:01:45,208 --> 00:01:48,750

Rob

And specifically, what led you to sort of

52

00:01:48,750 --> 00:01:51,250

Rob

get into this field of red lights?

53

00:01:51,416 --> 00:01:54,666

Rob

Obviously, it's part of the biohacking

54

00:01:54,666 --> 00:01:55,958

Rob

community at the

55

00:01:55,958 --> 00:01:57,000

Rob

moment, which is exploding.

56

00:01:57,875 --> 00:01:58,708

Rob

But you could have gone in

57

00:01:58,708 --> 00:02:00,125

Rob

any number of directions.

58

00:02:00,125 --> 00:02:01,125

Rob

It could have been called

59

00:02:01,125 --> 00:02:02,333

Rob

tubs, called thermogenesis.

60

00:02:03,500 --> 00:02:04,916

Rob

You could have gotten into supplements.

61

00:02:05,500 --> 00:02:07,791

Rob

What specifically sort of fueled your

62

00:02:07,791 --> 00:02:10,833

Rob

desire to get into red light?

63

00:02:11,791 --> 00:02:13,208

Bryan Gohl

Well, it was exactly that.

64

00:02:13,791 --> 00:02:16,291

Bryan Gohl

I've always been kind of exploring health

65

00:02:16,291 --> 00:02:18,708

Bryan Gohl

and wellness just as a personal interest.

66

00:02:19,083 --> 00:02:21,791

Bryan Gohl

You know, unfortunately, my parents were

67

00:02:21,791 --> 00:02:23,583

Bryan Gohl

pretty sick growing up.

68

00:02:23,583 --> 00:02:27,000

Bryan Gohl

We had a very normal lifestyle, standard

69

00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,458

Bryan Gohl

Western diet, eating a

70

00:02:28,458 --> 00:02:29,583

Bryan Gohl

lot of processed food.

71

00:02:31,416 --> 00:02:34,541

Bryan Gohl

And I just kind of started becoming aware

72

00:02:34,541 --> 00:02:38,333

Bryan Gohl

of, at quite a young age, what you do

73

00:02:38,333 --> 00:02:40,666

Bryan Gohl

actually affects your health, which is

74

00:02:40,666 --> 00:02:42,583

Bryan Gohl

something that, even to this day, it

75

00:02:42,583 --> 00:02:44,416

Bryan Gohl

blows my mind that there's so many people

76

00:02:44,416 --> 00:02:46,666

Bryan Gohl

that can still engage in unhealthy

77

00:02:46,666 --> 00:02:49,250

Bryan Gohl

habits, even with all the information

78

00:02:49,250 --> 00:02:50,958

Bryan Gohl

that we have about what makes you

79

00:02:50,958 --> 00:02:51,958

Bryan Gohl

unhealthy and still

80

00:02:51,958 --> 00:02:53,833

Bryan Gohl

choose to do those habits.

81

00:02:54,625 --> 00:02:56,875

Bryan Gohl

So I was just, for whatever reason, kind

82

00:02:56,875 --> 00:02:58,416

Bryan Gohl

of obsessed with health and wellness.

83

00:02:59,500 --> 00:03:00,958

Bryan Gohl

I was working in another career.

84

00:03:00,958 --> 00:03:02,083

Bryan Gohl

I was a trained carpenter.

85

00:03:02,791 --> 00:03:05,083

Bryan Gohl

So I was working away on building sites

86

00:03:05,083 --> 00:03:06,958

Bryan Gohl

and building furniture and

87

00:03:06,958 --> 00:03:08,041

Bryan Gohl

doing whatever else you do.

88

00:03:08,666 --> 00:03:10,208

Bryan Gohl

All the while, I was listening to

89

00:03:10,208 --> 00:03:12,291

Bryan Gohl

podcasts and audio books about health.

90

00:03:12,666 --> 00:03:14,666

Bryan Gohl

And just self-educating.

91

00:03:14,666 --> 00:03:17,708

Bryan Gohl

And then I discovered Bulletproof Coffee,

92

00:03:18,541 --> 00:03:20,500

Bryan Gohl

Dave Asprey, The High Fat Diet.

93

00:03:21,416 --> 00:03:23,166

Bryan Gohl

And Dave Asprey was actually the first

94

00:03:23,166 --> 00:03:26,541

Bryan Gohl

person that exposed me to this practice

95

00:03:26,541 --> 00:03:28,750

Bryan Gohl

or this subculture called biohacking,

96

00:03:29,500 --> 00:03:34,375

Bryan Gohl

where it's mostly very scientific-based

97

00:03:34,375 --> 00:03:36,083

Bryan Gohl

practices that you can

98

00:03:36,083 --> 00:03:37,958

Bryan Gohl

choose to do that make you better.

99

00:03:38,833 --> 00:03:41,708

Bryan Gohl

And like you mentioned in our

100

00:03:41,708 --> 00:03:44,208

Bryan Gohl

conversation offline, there's certain

101

00:03:44,208 --> 00:03:47,125

Bryan Gohl

things that start to trend in the

102

00:03:47,125 --> 00:03:49,541

Bryan Gohl

zeitgeist, along social media.

103

00:03:49,541 --> 00:03:51,750

Bryan Gohl

For example, we've just come through the

104

00:03:51,750 --> 00:03:54,375

Bryan Gohl

ice bath trend, where everybody and his

105

00:03:54,375 --> 00:03:55,958

Bryan Gohl

uncle was suddenly getting into ice

106

00:03:55,958 --> 00:03:57,583

Bryan Gohl

therapy or cold water therapy.

107

00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,833

Bryan Gohl

That's an example of biohacking.

108

00:04:00,416 --> 00:04:02,500

Bryan Gohl

So you temporarily jump in

109

00:04:02,500 --> 00:04:03,666

Bryan Gohl

an ice bath and you freeze.

110

00:04:04,333 --> 00:04:06,208

Bryan Gohl

But what you're forcing your biology to

111

00:04:06,208 --> 00:04:09,541

Bryan Gohl

do is to become more robust, to become

112

00:04:09,541 --> 00:04:10,958

Bryan Gohl

stronger, to become healthier.

113

00:04:11,458 --> 00:04:13,708

Bryan Gohl

And then therefore, the long-term effect

114

00:04:13,708 --> 00:04:15,000

Bryan Gohl

of you taking the ice

115

00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,500

Bryan Gohl

bath makes you healthier.

116

00:04:17,541 --> 00:04:18,333

Bryan Gohl

That's hormetic stress.

117

00:04:19,041 --> 00:04:20,166

Bryan Gohl

Hormetic stress, exactly.

118

00:04:20,416 --> 00:04:22,333

Bryan Gohl

So I was very interested in that stuff.

119

00:04:22,333 --> 00:04:24,416

Bryan Gohl

I've been going to the gym for a couple

120

00:04:24,416 --> 00:04:25,625

Bryan Gohl

of decades at that point.

121

00:04:25,625 --> 00:04:27,125

Bryan Gohl

So I was very familiar with the sauna.

122

00:04:27,875 --> 00:04:29,625

Bryan Gohl

Most gyms have a sauna.

123

00:04:30,291 --> 00:04:31,833

Bryan Gohl

So I knew it was healthy.

124

00:04:31,833 --> 00:04:34,333

Bryan Gohl

And that's also another trending biohack,

125

00:04:34,541 --> 00:04:35,416

Bryan Gohl

getting into saunas.

126

00:04:36,083 --> 00:04:38,916

Bryan Gohl

And then there's intermittent fasting and

127

00:04:38,916 --> 00:04:41,625

Bryan Gohl

the high-fat diet or the carnivore diet.

128

00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:48,083

Bryan Gohl

And then part of that family of biohacks

129

00:04:48,083 --> 00:04:50,666

Bryan Gohl

that Dave Asprey used to talk about back

130

00:04:50,666 --> 00:04:52,500

Bryan Gohl

in the day was red-like therapy.

131

00:04:53,166 --> 00:04:54,833

Bryan Gohl

Now, I had got to a point in my own

132

00:04:54,833 --> 00:04:56,500

Bryan Gohl

journey where I was taking saunas

133

00:04:56,500 --> 00:04:57,666

Bryan Gohl

whenever I could at the gym.

134

00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,375

Bryan Gohl

I was taking cold showers or jumping in a

135

00:05:00,375 --> 00:05:01,625

Bryan Gohl

cold river whenever I could.

136

00:05:02,083 --> 00:05:03,916

Bryan Gohl

I was fasting very often.

137

00:05:03,916 --> 00:05:04,958

Bryan Gohl

I was on a low-carb diet.

138

00:05:05,166 --> 00:05:07,916

Bryan Gohl

So I was kind of starting to do all the

139

00:05:07,916 --> 00:05:09,208

Bryan Gohl

things that I was learning about.

140

00:05:09,916 --> 00:05:10,666

Bryan Gohl

And then it was time

141

00:05:10,666 --> 00:05:11,666

Bryan Gohl

for red-like therapy.

142

00:05:12,333 --> 00:05:15,458

Bryan Gohl

This was like late 2016, 2017.

143

00:05:16,375 --> 00:05:17,791

Bryan Gohl

And you just couldn't get red-like

144

00:05:17,791 --> 00:05:19,416

Bryan Gohl

therapy in the UK at that point.

145

00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,250

Bryan Gohl

Your only option was to bring

146

00:05:21,250 --> 00:05:22,541

Bryan Gohl

something in from the States.

147

00:05:22,541 --> 00:05:24,250

Bryan Gohl

And that was just crazy expensive.

148

00:05:25,250 --> 00:05:27,083

Bryan Gohl

So I carried on learning about red-like

149

00:05:27,083 --> 00:05:28,958

Bryan Gohl

therapy anyway, because it turns out

150

00:05:28,958 --> 00:05:31,083

Bryan Gohl

there's thousands and thousands of

151

00:05:31,083 --> 00:05:34,166

Bryan Gohl

scientific research papers about red-like

152

00:05:34,166 --> 00:05:36,958

Bryan Gohl

therapy showing how it works, why it

153

00:05:36,958 --> 00:05:39,041

Bryan Gohl

works, what it can be useful for.

154

00:05:39,833 --> 00:05:41,750

Bryan Gohl

So logically, I was convinced.

155

00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,708

Bryan Gohl

Intellectually, I was convinced of the

156

00:05:43,708 --> 00:05:45,375

Bryan Gohl

science, of the protocol.

157

00:05:46,708 --> 00:05:48,625

Bryan Gohl

And then myself and my business partner,

158

00:05:48,625 --> 00:05:50,041

Bryan Gohl

James, we decided, well,

159

00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,333

Bryan Gohl

we know so much about it.

160

00:05:52,333 --> 00:05:53,708

Bryan Gohl

Now let's try and build something.

161

00:05:54,458 --> 00:05:57,500

Bryan Gohl

Let's research what the power has to be,

162

00:05:57,500 --> 00:05:59,250

Bryan Gohl

what the size has to be, what kind of

163

00:05:59,250 --> 00:06:00,333

Bryan Gohl

wavelengths we can get.

164

00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:01,875

Bryan Gohl

And we teamed up with

165

00:06:01,875 --> 00:06:03,583

Bryan Gohl

some electrical engineers.

166

00:06:03,958 --> 00:06:05,666

Bryan Gohl

And together, we built our first few

167

00:06:05,666 --> 00:06:08,166

Bryan Gohl

panels back in 2017.

168

00:06:09,375 --> 00:06:09,875

Bryan Gohl

I got one.

169

00:06:10,166 --> 00:06:10,833

Bryan Gohl

James got one.

170

00:06:10,833 --> 00:06:12,291

Bryan Gohl

And a couple of other friends had one.

171

00:06:12,583 --> 00:06:15,041

Bryan Gohl

And just kind of thought nothing of it

172

00:06:15,041 --> 00:06:16,375

Bryan Gohl

and went on with our day.

173

00:06:16,958 --> 00:06:19,041

Bryan Gohl

Started using red-like therapy every day.

174

00:06:19,416 --> 00:06:20,250

Bryan Gohl

And that was actually

175

00:06:20,250 --> 00:06:22,583

Bryan Gohl

around December in 2017.

176

00:06:23,708 --> 00:06:24,708

Bryan Gohl

I was living in London.

177

00:06:24,958 --> 00:06:25,958

Bryan Gohl

And I was depressed.

178

00:06:26,500 --> 00:06:27,791

Bryan Gohl

I was hating my job.

179

00:06:28,750 --> 00:06:30,541

Bryan Gohl

It was coming to a point where I was

180

00:06:30,541 --> 00:06:33,416

Bryan Gohl

like, something massive has to change.

181

00:06:33,416 --> 00:06:35,083

Bryan Gohl

Like, I can't continue to live like this.

182

00:06:35,583 --> 00:06:37,083

Bryan Gohl

I didn't want to be in the UK, because

183

00:06:37,083 --> 00:06:40,625

Bryan Gohl

the weather had just beat me to a pulp.

184

00:06:40,833 --> 00:06:41,916

Bryan Gohl

Like, I was depressed and

185

00:06:41,916 --> 00:06:43,500

Bryan Gohl

miserable and cold all the time.

186

00:06:44,083 --> 00:06:46,166

Bryan Gohl

I was living in London, absolute chaos,

187

00:06:46,416 --> 00:06:49,541

Bryan Gohl

such a busy city, doing carpentry, which

188

00:06:49,541 --> 00:06:52,333

Bryan Gohl

I was becoming acutely aware

189

00:06:52,333 --> 00:06:53,916

Bryan Gohl

was not good for my health.

190

00:06:54,333 --> 00:06:56,041

Bryan Gohl

Not only are you breathing in the dust

191

00:06:56,041 --> 00:06:58,333

Bryan Gohl

and the fumes and the chemicals, but

192

00:06:58,333 --> 00:07:00,791

Bryan Gohl

sometimes you can be bent over all day on

193

00:07:00,791 --> 00:07:01,666

Bryan Gohl

your hands and knees

194

00:07:01,666 --> 00:07:03,125

Bryan Gohl

crawling around doing stuff.

195

00:07:03,916 --> 00:07:05,666

Bryan Gohl

The noise, it was just a

196

00:07:05,666 --> 00:07:07,625

Bryan Gohl

very unhealthy career path.

197

00:07:08,333 --> 00:07:09,541

Bryan Gohl

And I needed something to change.

198

00:07:09,833 --> 00:07:12,291

Bryan Gohl

And I'd been using my first red-like

199

00:07:12,291 --> 00:07:13,291

Bryan Gohl

therapy panel for about

200

00:07:13,291 --> 00:07:14,250

Bryan Gohl

two weeks at that point.

201

00:07:14,833 --> 00:07:16,333

Bryan Gohl

And suddenly, one day, I

202

00:07:16,333 --> 00:07:17,708

Bryan Gohl

realized I was happy again.

203

00:07:18,416 --> 00:07:19,166

Bryan Gohl

I was cheerful.

204

00:07:19,875 --> 00:07:20,875

Bryan Gohl

I was walking down the

205

00:07:20,875 --> 00:07:22,083

Bryan Gohl

road and I felt amazing.

206

00:07:22,083 --> 00:07:23,583

Bryan Gohl

And I was like, could

207

00:07:23,583 --> 00:07:25,000

Bryan Gohl

this be the red-like therapy?

208

00:07:25,208 --> 00:07:27,125

Bryan Gohl

Because one of the benefits of red-like

209

00:07:27,125 --> 00:07:30,041

Bryan Gohl

therapy is mood optimization or hormonal

210

00:07:30,041 --> 00:07:32,083

Bryan Gohl

optimization, the feel-good hormones.

211

00:07:32,791 --> 00:07:33,250

Bryan Gohl

I was like, oh my

212

00:07:33,250 --> 00:07:34,875

Bryan Gohl

gosh, is it working for me?

213

00:07:34,875 --> 00:07:35,541

Bryan Gohl

I feel amazing.

214

00:07:35,750 --> 00:07:36,291

Bryan Gohl

I feel happy.

215

00:07:37,750 --> 00:07:39,541

Bryan Gohl

And soon after that, I started tracking

216

00:07:39,541 --> 00:07:40,750

Bryan Gohl

my sleep and I noticed my

217

00:07:40,750 --> 00:07:41,708

Bryan Gohl

sleep was getting better.

218

00:07:41,875 --> 00:07:45,583

Bryan Gohl

I started noticing that all the cuts and

219

00:07:45,583 --> 00:07:47,791

Bryan Gohl

the scrapes that I had on my hands from

220

00:07:47,791 --> 00:07:50,250

Bryan Gohl

being a carpenter were healing up so much

221

00:07:50,250 --> 00:07:51,500

Bryan Gohl

faster than they normally would.

222

00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,208

Bryan Gohl

My hands weren't constantly in pain.

223

00:07:54,958 --> 00:07:56,541

Bryan Gohl

And that's when I personally realized,

224

00:07:56,541 --> 00:07:57,708

Bryan Gohl

I'm like, oh my gosh, like everything

225

00:07:57,708 --> 00:07:59,208

Bryan Gohl

I've been reading about with red-like

226

00:07:59,208 --> 00:08:00,500

Bryan Gohl

therapy, like it's working.

227

00:08:00,875 --> 00:08:02,041

Bryan Gohl

It's working for me.

228

00:08:02,750 --> 00:08:04,083

Bryan Gohl

Contacted James and a

229

00:08:04,083 --> 00:08:04,916

Bryan Gohl

couple of the other guys.

230

00:08:04,916 --> 00:08:06,250

Bryan Gohl

And I said, well, how's the panel going?

231

00:08:06,250 --> 00:08:06,875

Bryan Gohl

How are you doing?

232

00:08:07,208 --> 00:08:08,541

Bryan Gohl

And everybody said they love it.

233

00:08:08,541 --> 00:08:09,625

Bryan Gohl

You know, everybody was getting slightly

234

00:08:09,625 --> 00:08:10,375

Bryan Gohl

different benefits, but

235

00:08:10,375 --> 00:08:12,666

Bryan Gohl

everybody said they loved it.

236

00:08:13,125 --> 00:08:14,708

Bryan Gohl

And that's when James and I decided like,

237

00:08:14,708 --> 00:08:16,041

Bryan Gohl

okay, you know, red-like

238

00:08:16,041 --> 00:08:17,208

Bryan Gohl

therapy is definitely a thing.

239

00:08:17,625 --> 00:08:20,000

Bryan Gohl

Let's make a red-like therapy for the UK.

240

00:08:20,583 --> 00:08:21,291

Bryan Gohl

And that's where

241

00:08:21,291 --> 00:08:23,041

Bryan Gohl

red-like rising was born.

242

00:08:23,916 --> 00:08:25,166

Rob

Yeah, well, that's an amazing story.

243

00:08:25,833 --> 00:08:26,416

Rob

Thank you for that.

244

00:08:27,541 --> 00:08:29,875

Rob

And it's great to hear that you didn't

245

00:08:29,875 --> 00:08:31,958

Rob

just sort of do what so many companies

246

00:08:31,958 --> 00:08:34,416

Rob

do, which is to sort of hop onto Alibaba

247

00:08:34,416 --> 00:08:37,208

Rob

and or the other team or whatever they're

248

00:08:37,208 --> 00:08:38,083

Rob

called and just find an existing panel.

249

00:08:38,125 --> 00:08:41,208

Rob

The fact that you are able to sort of

250

00:08:41,208 --> 00:08:43,291

Rob

engineer it from scratch and actually

251

00:08:43,291 --> 00:08:47,208

Rob

design something from the ground up, it

252

00:08:47,208 --> 00:08:50,500

Rob

speaks to your sort of, well, your ethics

253

00:08:50,500 --> 00:08:52,166

Rob

as a business owner, of course, but also

254

00:08:52,166 --> 00:08:53,791

Rob

your ability to create

255

00:08:53,791 --> 00:08:55,708

Rob

something that undoubtedly works.

256

00:08:57,291 --> 00:08:59,708

Rob

So to just, while we're on that topic,

257

00:09:01,208 --> 00:09:03,333

Rob

what makes red-like rising panels

258

00:09:03,333 --> 00:09:04,166

Rob

different from other panels on the market?

259

00:09:04,208 --> 00:09:10,625

Rob

I mean, since 2017, the market in the UK

260

00:09:10,625 --> 00:09:12,208

Rob

has definitely exploded.

261

00:09:13,666 --> 00:09:15,166

Rob

And there are a number of brands out

262

00:09:15,166 --> 00:09:17,000

Rob

there now with

263

00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,833

Rob

pricing all over the place.

264

00:09:19,833 --> 00:09:21,833

Rob

I mean, yours, to be honest, is still,

265

00:09:21,833 --> 00:09:23,625

Rob

relatively speaking, affordable.

266

00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,250

Rob

I mean, you get panels out there that

267

00:09:26,250 --> 00:09:28,541

Rob

cost thousands and thousands and

268

00:09:28,541 --> 00:09:30,708

Rob

thousands, where yours still seem to be,

269

00:09:30,708 --> 00:09:31,208

Rob

yeah, that happy medium as it were.

270

00:09:31,541 --> 00:09:36,791

Rob

At a panel level, what makes your

271

00:09:36,791 --> 00:09:39,125

Rob

products different from

272

00:09:39,125 --> 00:09:40,416

Rob

what else is out there?

273

00:09:41,166 --> 00:09:43,583

Bryan Gohl

Well, back in the day, it was really

274

00:09:43,583 --> 00:09:44,416

Bryan Gohl

difficult to make

275

00:09:44,416 --> 00:09:45,666

Bryan Gohl

red-like therapy products.

276

00:09:46,791 --> 00:09:49,208

Bryan Gohl

You mentioned Alibaba and Timu, when we

277

00:09:49,208 --> 00:09:50,916

Bryan Gohl

started red-like therapy, there were

278

00:09:50,916 --> 00:09:52,041

Bryan Gohl

almost no

279

00:09:52,041 --> 00:09:53,708

Bryan Gohl

manufacturers of red-like therapy.

280

00:09:53,958 --> 00:09:56,250

Bryan Gohl

Obviously, there was two companies in the

281

00:09:56,250 --> 00:09:58,250

Bryan Gohl

States that already existed, and they have their manufacturers in China.

282

00:09:58,250 --> 00:10:02,500

Bryan Gohl

We also manufacture in China. Now everybody does.

283

00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:03,208

Bryan Gohl

Of course.

284

00:10:03,875 --> 00:10:05,875

Bryan Gohl

But back then, there was no way, you

285

00:10:05,875 --> 00:10:07,583

Bryan Gohl

couldn't buy red-like therapy of Alibaba.

286

00:10:07,791 --> 00:10:08,333

Bryan Gohl

It didn't exist.

287

00:10:09,625 --> 00:10:11,750

Bryan Gohl

So it was really difficult to make

288

00:10:11,750 --> 00:10:14,000

Bryan Gohl

powerful panels, because you had to get

289

00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,666

Bryan Gohl

very certain parts for the inside, very

290

00:10:16,666 --> 00:10:17,916

Bryan Gohl

certain kinds of LEDs,

291

00:10:18,458 --> 00:10:19,750

Bryan Gohl

very certain kinds of drivers.

292

00:10:20,416 --> 00:10:22,416

Bryan Gohl

But now, because the scene has exploded

293

00:10:22,416 --> 00:10:24,916

Bryan Gohl

so much, of course, there's probably at

294

00:10:24,916 --> 00:10:27,208

Bryan Gohl

least 30 factories now in China, that

295

00:10:27,208 --> 00:10:29,583

Bryan Gohl

have the ability to make

296

00:10:29,583 --> 00:10:30,833

Bryan Gohl

red-like therapy products.

297

00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,458

Bryan Gohl

And from the ones that I've seen, most of

298

00:10:35,458 --> 00:10:36,458

Bryan Gohl

them are very good now.

299

00:10:37,500 --> 00:10:38,250

Bryan Gohl

So the technical--

300

00:10:39,291 --> 00:10:40,625

Bryan Gohl

that's actually what I tell people.

301

00:10:40,625 --> 00:10:41,041

Bryan Gohl

They're like, well,

302

00:10:41,250 --> 00:10:42,416

Bryan Gohl

which company is reputable?

303

00:10:42,625 --> 00:10:43,708

Bryan Gohl

Which one should I buy from?

304

00:10:43,708 --> 00:10:44,500

Bryan Gohl

Which one is the best?

305

00:10:44,833 --> 00:10:46,750

Bryan Gohl

And the truth of the matter is, if you're

306

00:10:46,750 --> 00:10:49,166

Bryan Gohl

looking at the top five brands, including

307

00:10:49,166 --> 00:10:51,833

Bryan Gohl

my own, when you do a web search, any of

308

00:10:51,833 --> 00:10:52,750

Bryan Gohl

those brands are going to have panels that are good enough, in terms of the way that they're going to be.

309

00:10:52,791 --> 00:10:53,333

Bryan Gohl

And they're going to have panels that are

310

00:10:53,333 --> 00:10:55,833

Bryan Gohl

good enough, in terms of power,

311

00:10:56,916 --> 00:10:59,916

Bryan Gohl

the wavelengths, and the actual dose of

312

00:10:59,916 --> 00:11:00,833

Bryan Gohl

light you're going to get.

313

00:11:01,541 --> 00:11:03,500

Bryan Gohl

Because it's easier to make them now,

314

00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,500

Bryan Gohl

everybody-- or most people

315

00:11:05,500 --> 00:11:06,958

Bryan Gohl

are making good products.

316

00:11:07,958 --> 00:11:10,708

Bryan Gohl

But what sets ours apart right now is, we

317

00:11:10,708 --> 00:11:14,791

Bryan Gohl

have the most state-of-the-art panels on

318

00:11:14,791 --> 00:11:15,791

Bryan Gohl

the market right now.

319

00:11:16,083 --> 00:11:18,291

Bryan Gohl

It won't be like that for long, because

320

00:11:18,291 --> 00:11:20,416

Bryan Gohl

as soon as someone makes something great,

321

00:11:20,833 --> 00:11:22,208

Bryan Gohl

everybody else copies it.

322

00:11:22,208 --> 00:11:23,541

Bryan Gohl

And then that's what's been

323

00:11:23,541 --> 00:11:24,750

Bryan Gohl

happening to us since day one.

324

00:11:25,291 --> 00:11:27,000

Bryan Gohl

We're back in the top spot now.

325

00:11:27,416 --> 00:11:29,875

Bryan Gohl

But before the end of the year, I'm sure

326

00:11:29,875 --> 00:11:30,625

Bryan Gohl

we're going to be copied.

327

00:11:31,291 --> 00:11:33,291

Bryan Gohl

But basically, our newest panels, the

328

00:11:33,291 --> 00:11:35,041

Bryan Gohl

Advantage panels, they

329

00:11:35,041 --> 00:11:36,083

Bryan Gohl

have five wavelengths.

330

00:11:37,458 --> 00:11:39,500

Bryan Gohl

Three of them are near infrared light,

331

00:11:39,833 --> 00:11:41,083

Bryan Gohl

and two of them are red light.

332

00:11:41,583 --> 00:11:43,333

Bryan Gohl

There's nothing terribly special about

333

00:11:43,333 --> 00:11:44,083

Bryan Gohl

that, because other

334

00:11:44,083 --> 00:11:45,291

Bryan Gohl

companies have the same thing.

335

00:11:45,708 --> 00:11:47,458

Bryan Gohl

We have a beautiful touchscreen, which

336

00:11:47,458 --> 00:11:48,916

Bryan Gohl

makes it really easy to use.

337

00:11:49,708 --> 00:11:52,791

Bryan Gohl

Because red light therapy, on the

338

00:11:52,791 --> 00:11:55,000

Bryan Gohl

surface, when you first get into it, it

339

00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:55,916

Bryan Gohl

seems awfully

340

00:11:55,916 --> 00:11:57,958

Bryan Gohl

complicated and overwhelming.

341

00:11:58,333 --> 00:12:00,250

Bryan Gohl

And then you go on Reddit, and you go on

342

00:12:00,250 --> 00:12:01,166

Bryan Gohl

the forums, whatever,

343

00:12:01,166 --> 00:12:02,333

Bryan Gohl

and you try to understand.

344

00:12:03,541 --> 00:12:04,333

Bryan Gohl

Everybody's got a

345

00:12:04,333 --> 00:12:05,500

Bryan Gohl

slightly different opinion.

346

00:12:05,500 --> 00:12:06,958

Bryan Gohl

Everybody's saying something slightly

347

00:12:06,958 --> 00:12:08,500

Bryan Gohl

different, so it's very confusing.

348

00:12:09,458 --> 00:12:12,000

Bryan Gohl

So what I wanted to do, what I needed to

349

00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,083

Bryan Gohl

do, was to make red light

350

00:12:13,083 --> 00:12:15,375

Bryan Gohl

therapy as easy as possible to use.

351

00:12:15,875 --> 00:12:18,541

Bryan Gohl

Even if you know nothing about it, you

352

00:12:18,541 --> 00:12:20,625

Bryan Gohl

should be able to switch it on and get a

353

00:12:20,625 --> 00:12:24,958

Bryan Gohl

good dose of red light for your needs,

354

00:12:24,958 --> 00:12:25,916

Bryan Gohl

whatever they may be.

355

00:12:26,500 --> 00:12:30,000

Bryan Gohl

And so with that in mind, I created what

356

00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,708

Bryan Gohl

I call six smart modes, or six

357

00:12:32,708 --> 00:12:34,375

Bryan Gohl

pre-programmed modes.

358

00:12:34,875 --> 00:12:36,166

Bryan Gohl

So basically, when you look at the

359

00:12:36,166 --> 00:12:38,375

Bryan Gohl

control panel, or the remote, because

360

00:12:38,375 --> 00:12:39,916

Bryan Gohl

there is a remote as well, which is

361

00:12:39,916 --> 00:12:41,375

Bryan Gohl

another advancement.

362

00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,166

Bryan Gohl

But when you look at the control panel or

363

00:12:44,166 --> 00:12:45,625

Bryan Gohl

the remote, there's six different

364

00:12:45,625 --> 00:12:47,041

Bryan Gohl

programs you can choose from.

365

00:12:47,666 --> 00:12:50,416

Bryan Gohl

Face and eyes, joint care, sports

366

00:12:50,416 --> 00:12:52,083

Bryan Gohl

performance, wellness and

367

00:12:52,083 --> 00:12:54,208

Bryan Gohl

mood, all over skin, and sleep.

368

00:12:55,125 --> 00:12:57,541

Bryan Gohl

So the layman, someone who doesn't have

369

00:12:57,541 --> 00:13:00,250

Bryan Gohl

hours and hours to research all the

370

00:13:00,250 --> 00:13:02,291

Bryan Gohl

different nuances of how to use red light

371

00:13:02,291 --> 00:13:05,250

Bryan Gohl

therapy, you just press the button, the

372

00:13:05,250 --> 00:13:07,958

Bryan Gohl

device will automatically set the

373

00:13:07,958 --> 00:13:10,458

Bryan Gohl

intensity and the wavelength to the most

374

00:13:10,458 --> 00:13:12,125

Bryan Gohl

optimal that we know of so

375

00:13:12,125 --> 00:13:13,541

Bryan Gohl

far, according to the science.

376

00:13:14,125 --> 00:13:15,833

Bryan Gohl

It'll even tell you where to stand.

377

00:13:16,291 --> 00:13:18,416

Bryan Gohl

You just press go and it automatically

378

00:13:18,416 --> 00:13:20,875

Bryan Gohl

times and doses your session, and you

379

00:13:20,875 --> 00:13:22,000

Bryan Gohl

don't have to think at all.

380

00:13:22,916 --> 00:13:26,208

Bryan Gohl

So that is the most advanced state of red

381

00:13:26,208 --> 00:13:27,541

Bryan Gohl

light therapy right now.

382

00:13:28,833 --> 00:13:30,458

Bryan Gohl

But like I say, I'm sure over the next

383

00:13:30,458 --> 00:13:31,250

Bryan Gohl

couple of months, there's

384

00:13:31,250 --> 00:13:32,208

Bryan Gohl

going to be more advancements.

385

00:13:32,458 --> 00:13:34,041

Bryan Gohl

Technology is always moving forward.

386

00:13:34,041 --> 00:13:35,041

Bryan Gohl

So it's pretty exciting.

387

00:13:36,375 --> 00:13:37,708

Bryan Gohl

I hope that answers the question there.

388

00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:38,750

Rob

Oh, yeah, no, definitely.

389

00:13:39,541 --> 00:13:42,958

Rob

And then just to sort of jump back on

390

00:13:42,958 --> 00:13:44,416

Rob

from onto the sort of the

391

00:13:44,416 --> 00:13:45,791

Rob

biohacking wagon for a second.

392

00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,500

Rob

I don't know what your thoughts are on

393

00:13:48,500 --> 00:13:50,833

Rob

EMF and non-native EMFs.

394

00:13:52,291 --> 00:13:53,666

Rob

There's a lot of sounds on both.

395

00:13:53,875 --> 00:13:55,541

Rob

And we recently had Tristan Scott on the

396

00:13:55,541 --> 00:13:58,541

Rob

podcast from Daylight Computer to sort of

397

00:13:58,541 --> 00:14:00,916

Rob

give us a fairly deep dive into that.

398

00:14:02,125 --> 00:14:04,791

Rob

Do you manufacture your panels taking

399

00:14:04,791 --> 00:14:06,250

Rob

EMFs into consideration?

400

00:14:06,583 --> 00:14:08,000

Rob

Do you personally think it's an issue?

401

00:14:08,583 --> 00:14:09,583

Rob

Of course, if you don't

402

00:14:09,583 --> 00:14:10,541

Rob

believe it is, that's fine.

403

00:14:10,750 --> 00:14:12,500

Rob

Again, like I said, it's a large amount

404

00:14:12,500 --> 00:14:13,916

Rob

of speculation as to

405

00:14:13,916 --> 00:14:15,208

Rob

whether they're an issue or not.

406

00:14:16,166 --> 00:14:18,500

Rob

So yeah, I'd love to sort of just get

407

00:14:18,500 --> 00:14:19,666

Rob

your thoughts there and

408

00:14:19,666 --> 00:14:21,166

Rob

whether or not your panels

409

00:14:22,208 --> 00:14:23,708

Rob

do have a sort of a low

410

00:14:23,708 --> 00:14:25,166

Rob

EMF or low ELF reading.

411

00:14:27,125 --> 00:14:29,875

Bryan Gohl

Yeah, so I definitely believe in EMFs and

412

00:14:29,875 --> 00:14:32,375

Bryan Gohl

I definitely believe in potential

413

00:14:32,375 --> 00:14:33,708

Bryan Gohl

detrimental effects of

414

00:14:33,708 --> 00:14:35,458

Bryan Gohl

non-native EMFs, especially.

415

00:14:36,458 --> 00:14:40,250

Bryan Gohl

And we are always working to decrease the

416

00:14:40,250 --> 00:14:41,500

Bryan Gohl

EMFs on our products.

417

00:14:42,041 --> 00:14:44,333

Bryan Gohl

But there's only so much you can do

418

00:14:44,333 --> 00:14:47,083

Bryan Gohl

because the very nature of electricity

419

00:14:47,083 --> 00:14:51,291

Bryan Gohl

flowing through wires and moving parts in

420

00:14:51,291 --> 00:14:53,416

Bryan Gohl

an electrical product creates EMFs.

421

00:14:54,291 --> 00:14:55,708

Bryan Gohl

So there's only so much you can do.

422

00:14:55,916 --> 00:14:59,125

Bryan Gohl

So we are actually engaged with someone,

423

00:14:59,583 --> 00:15:02,000

Bryan Gohl

a professional firm right now to help us

424

00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,541

Bryan Gohl

redesign all our panels to

425

00:15:03,541 --> 00:15:05,250

Bryan Gohl

try and get the EMFs lower.

426

00:15:06,166 --> 00:15:07,666

Bryan Gohl

They are already quite low.

427

00:15:08,500 --> 00:15:11,541

Bryan Gohl

And the thing is with EMFs, they abide by

428

00:15:11,541 --> 00:15:12,791

Bryan Gohl

the inverse square law.

429

00:15:13,375 --> 00:15:15,583

Bryan Gohl

So if you're touching the panel, that's

430

00:15:15,583 --> 00:15:18,416

Bryan Gohl

the highest amount of EMFs that you're

431

00:15:18,416 --> 00:15:19,333

Bryan Gohl

going to be in contact with.

432

00:15:19,625 --> 00:15:22,458

Bryan Gohl

But as soon as you go an inch away, it's

433

00:15:22,458 --> 00:15:24,750

Bryan Gohl

slashed by like 10 times.

434

00:15:25,458 --> 00:15:26,958

Bryan Gohl

Then you go two inches away and it's

435

00:15:26,958 --> 00:15:28,041

Bryan Gohl

slashed by 100 times.

436

00:15:28,666 --> 00:15:31,500

Bryan Gohl

So technically speaking, you can use red

437

00:15:31,500 --> 00:15:33,875

Bryan Gohl

light therapy in a

438

00:15:33,875 --> 00:15:37,916

Bryan Gohl

non-native EMF free scenario.

439

00:15:39,416 --> 00:15:41,166

Rob

Yeah, no, of course.

440

00:15:41,625 --> 00:15:42,833

Rob

And that makes total sense.

441

00:15:43,208 --> 00:15:44,750

Rob

And I mean, we're in

442

00:15:44,750 --> 00:15:45,666

Rob

the supplement space.

443

00:15:47,083 --> 00:15:49,541

Rob

And obviously, we have to use certain

444

00:15:49,541 --> 00:15:51,041

Rob

amount of excipients in our products.

445

00:15:51,083 --> 00:15:57,041

Rob

We just do otherwise the machines aren't

446

00:15:57,041 --> 00:15:57,958

Rob

able to necessarily

447

00:15:57,958 --> 00:15:59,375

Rob

produce the products effectively.

448

00:15:59,833 --> 00:16:01,250

Rob

Now we use natural excipients

449

00:16:01,250 --> 00:16:03,208

Rob

when we do have to use them.

450

00:16:03,208 --> 00:16:04,125

Rob

And a lot of our products

451

00:16:04,125 --> 00:16:06,666

Rob

don't contain excipients.

452

00:16:07,958 --> 00:16:12,083

Rob

My thinking there or what I'm trying to

453

00:16:12,083 --> 00:16:15,500

Rob

get to is the fact that sometimes there

454

00:16:15,500 --> 00:16:19,666

Rob

just has to be a concession made.

455

00:16:20,125 --> 00:16:22,583

Rob

Otherwise, you can't take the supplement.

456

00:16:22,583 --> 00:16:23,916

Rob

You can't use the technology.

457

00:16:24,791 --> 00:16:28,833

Rob

And yeah, it just goes to show again that

458

00:16:28,833 --> 00:16:31,291

Rob

it doesn't not that it goes to show

459

00:16:31,291 --> 00:16:34,000

Rob

anything, but that yeah, ultimately, I

460

00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,000

Rob

suppose it's a given take.

461

00:16:35,375 --> 00:16:38,375

Rob

And the fact that you are going to the

462

00:16:38,375 --> 00:16:41,416

Rob

degrees and the steps that you are to

463

00:16:41,416 --> 00:16:43,875

Rob

ensure that these panels are as low EMF

464

00:16:43,875 --> 00:16:46,541

Rob

as possible is admirable.

465

00:16:46,958 --> 00:16:47,708

Rob

So thank you for that.

466

00:16:47,916 --> 00:16:48,625

Rob

That was refreshing.

467

00:16:48,875 --> 00:16:52,916

Rob

I've spoken to a lot of yeah, suppliers

468

00:16:52,916 --> 00:16:54,458

Rob

of these products in recent months.

469

00:16:54,791 --> 00:16:58,375

Rob

And most of them have, well,

470

00:16:58,375 --> 00:16:59,500

Rob

not most and that's not true.

471

00:16:59,500 --> 00:17:00,916

Rob

But one or two of them has sent me

472

00:17:00,916 --> 00:17:03,625

Rob

reports showing that their products admit

473

00:17:03,625 --> 00:17:06,541

Rob

absolutely no EMFs at all, which is, I

474

00:17:06,541 --> 00:17:07,875

Rob

think, almost unbelievable.

475

00:17:08,375 --> 00:17:10,125

Rob

I don't think that they are shielded

476

00:17:10,125 --> 00:17:11,458

Rob

products to the point where they're

477

00:17:11,458 --> 00:17:13,500

Rob

actually blocking all the dirty

478

00:17:13,500 --> 00:17:15,333

Rob

electricity that is coming off them.

479

00:17:15,833 --> 00:17:18,000

Rob

So yeah, I think that's,

480

00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,000

Rob

like I said, admirable.

481

00:17:19,458 --> 00:17:20,666

Rob

And thank you for that.

482

00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,083

Bryan Gohl

Yeah, just to finish off on that.

483

00:17:23,458 --> 00:17:26,791

Bryan Gohl

So I was explaining that, yes, our

484

00:17:26,791 --> 00:17:28,000

Bryan Gohl

products do have EMFs.

485

00:17:28,416 --> 00:17:30,500

Bryan Gohl

Our battery operated products are zero

486

00:17:30,500 --> 00:17:32,333

Bryan Gohl

EMF because it's a completely different

487

00:17:32,333 --> 00:17:33,416

Bryan Gohl

kind of electricity.

488

00:17:34,541 --> 00:17:35,125

Bryan Gohl

Battery operated.

489

00:17:35,166 --> 00:17:36,541

Bryan Gohl

So there's, you know, for the people that

490

00:17:36,541 --> 00:17:38,791

Bryan Gohl

are very concerned about EMFs, there's

491

00:17:38,791 --> 00:17:40,083

Bryan Gohl

the battery operated

492

00:17:40,083 --> 00:17:41,333

Bryan Gohl

devices which are zero.

493

00:17:41,958 --> 00:17:42,250

Bryan Gohl

Now,

494

00:17:43,625 --> 00:17:47,916

Bryan Gohl

I hate to be a tittle tail, but I know at

495

00:17:47,916 --> 00:17:50,541

Bryan Gohl

least one or two major red light therapy

496

00:17:50,583 --> 00:17:54,083

Bryan Gohl

brands that flat lie about the EMFs.

497

00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:55,791

Bryan Gohl

Okay, and I've seen it

498

00:17:55,791 --> 00:17:57,125

Bryan Gohl

myself on their website.

499

00:17:57,375 --> 00:17:58,958

Bryan Gohl

And this is how you can tell

500

00:17:58,958 --> 00:18:00,750

Bryan Gohl

if someone's lying about EMFs.

501

00:18:00,750 --> 00:18:01,000

Bryan Gohl

Okay.

502

00:18:01,416 --> 00:18:04,500

Bryan Gohl

On the website, it says zero EMF,

503

00:18:05,708 --> 00:18:07,291

Bryan Gohl

but it doesn't tell you what distance.

504

00:18:08,583 --> 00:18:10,333

Bryan Gohl

Because as I was describing before,

505

00:18:10,708 --> 00:18:13,083

Bryan Gohl

distance is crucially important with EMF.

506

00:18:13,500 --> 00:18:16,166

Bryan Gohl

So if we disregard the distance

507

00:18:16,166 --> 00:18:19,166

Bryan Gohl

measurement at all, then I could also lie

508

00:18:19,166 --> 00:18:22,083

Bryan Gohl

and say on my website, zero EMF, red

509

00:18:22,083 --> 00:18:24,208

Bryan Gohl

light therapy, absolutely zero EMF.

510

00:18:24,500 --> 00:18:26,083

Bryan Gohl

Because if you stand on the other side of

511

00:18:26,083 --> 00:18:27,166

Bryan Gohl

the room and you measure

512

00:18:27,166 --> 00:18:28,666

Bryan Gohl

it, of course, it's zero EMF.

513

00:18:28,916 --> 00:18:31,416

Bryan Gohl

I mean, even if you stand half a meter

514

00:18:31,416 --> 00:18:33,041

Bryan Gohl

away, it's zero EMF.

515

00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,625

Bryan Gohl

So the standard is for no particular

516

00:18:36,625 --> 00:18:38,416

Bryan Gohl

reason, the standard is to measure six

517

00:18:38,416 --> 00:18:40,583

Bryan Gohl

inches from the device and then, you

518

00:18:40,583 --> 00:18:42,333

Bryan Gohl

know, talk about your EMFs at that level.

519

00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,958

Bryan Gohl

But I would just like for people to be

520

00:18:44,958 --> 00:18:47,083

Bryan Gohl

aware because that's major brands that

521

00:18:47,083 --> 00:18:49,750

Bryan Gohl

sponsor all the major influences to sell

522

00:18:49,750 --> 00:18:50,833

Bryan Gohl

their product and

523

00:18:50,833 --> 00:18:52,625

Bryan Gohl

then lie about the EMFs.

524

00:18:52,625 --> 00:18:53,083

Bryan Gohl

They lie.

525

00:18:53,541 --> 00:18:54,750

Bryan Gohl

They don't emit information.

526

00:18:54,750 --> 00:18:55,750

Bryan Gohl

They don't make a mistake.

527

00:18:55,750 --> 00:18:56,750

Bryan Gohl

They flat out lie.

528

00:18:56,791 --> 00:18:58,333

Bryan Gohl

And then when they've been caught on

529

00:18:58,333 --> 00:19:00,625

Bryan Gohl

social media, they just don't care

530

00:19:00,625 --> 00:19:02,500

Bryan Gohl

because they've got millions and millions

531

00:19:02,500 --> 00:19:04,291

Bryan Gohl

of people exposed to these influences

532

00:19:04,291 --> 00:19:06,166

Bryan Gohl

saying, oh, I use their product.

533

00:19:06,166 --> 00:19:06,625

Bryan Gohl

It's the best.

534

00:19:08,333 --> 00:19:09,625

Bryan Gohl

And then just the last thing

535

00:19:09,625 --> 00:19:10,958

Bryan Gohl

I'd like to say on the EMFs.

536

00:19:12,416 --> 00:19:14,166

Bryan Gohl

Even though I've acknowledged the EMFs in

537

00:19:14,166 --> 00:19:15,083

Bryan Gohl

red light therapy, I

538

00:19:15,083 --> 00:19:16,125

Bryan Gohl

don't think it's a problem.

539

00:19:16,916 --> 00:19:19,250

Bryan Gohl

Because right now I have, I mean, this is

540

00:19:19,250 --> 00:19:20,166

Bryan Gohl

something I need to change.

541

00:19:20,166 --> 00:19:22,333

Bryan Gohl

I have a Bluetooth keyboard, which has

542

00:19:22,333 --> 00:19:24,291

Bryan Gohl

got EMFs far worse than

543

00:19:24,291 --> 00:19:25,250

Bryan Gohl

red light therapy products.

544

00:19:25,625 --> 00:19:28,250

Bryan Gohl

I have a Bluetooth mouse far worse than

545

00:19:28,250 --> 00:19:29,541

Bryan Gohl

red light and I have a screen.

546

00:19:29,750 --> 00:19:30,916

Bryan Gohl

I have a lamp here.

547

00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,583

Bryan Gohl

I have my laptop charging.

548

00:19:32,583 --> 00:19:34,625

Bryan Gohl

I have a walking treadmill underneath me.

549

00:19:35,041 --> 00:19:37,750

Bryan Gohl

I'm absorbing more EMFs now than I ever

550

00:19:37,750 --> 00:19:39,500

Bryan Gohl

would be standing in front of my red

551

00:19:39,500 --> 00:19:40,375

Bryan Gohl

light therapy device.

552

00:19:41,625 --> 00:19:43,875

Bryan Gohl

And the red light therapy device actually

553

00:19:43,875 --> 00:19:46,541

Bryan Gohl

helps heal your body, whereas all this

554

00:19:46,541 --> 00:19:47,458

Bryan Gohl

other stuff doesn't.

555

00:19:48,416 --> 00:19:50,083

Rob

Yeah, I couldn't agree more again.

556

00:19:50,666 --> 00:19:51,708

Rob

And thank you for that.

557

00:19:52,250 --> 00:19:53,791

Rob

Again, it makes total sense.

558

00:19:53,791 --> 00:19:57,416

Rob

And I suppose I'm not surprised by what

559

00:19:57,416 --> 00:19:58,125

Rob

you said about some

560

00:19:58,125 --> 00:19:58,875

Rob

of these major brands.

561

00:19:59,416 --> 00:20:01,666

Rob

I suppose at the end of the day, they've

562

00:20:01,666 --> 00:20:04,208

Rob

got this size where, you know, one or

563

00:20:04,208 --> 00:20:06,666

Rob

two, sort of bad post probably actually

564

00:20:06,666 --> 00:20:08,583

Rob

doesn't affect their bottom line.

565

00:20:09,250 --> 00:20:11,500

Rob

Obviously, I'm sure you know the issues

566

00:20:11,500 --> 00:20:15,125

Rob

that Element, the electrolyte brand

567

00:20:15,125 --> 00:20:17,583

Rob

recently had with the findings of

568

00:20:17,583 --> 00:20:18,750

Rob

maltodextrin in their product.

569

00:20:19,250 --> 00:20:22,333

Rob

Now, personally, sort of with my

570

00:20:22,333 --> 00:20:24,333

Rob

background being chemistry, I

571

00:20:24,333 --> 00:20:25,208

Rob

don't think that's an issue.

572

00:20:26,541 --> 00:20:28,250

Rob

But the fact that they will sort of

573

00:20:28,250 --> 00:20:32,458

Rob

essentially and I feel that Rob Wuth, who

574

00:20:32,458 --> 00:20:34,666

Rob

obviously co-ins the brand is reputable

575

00:20:34,666 --> 00:20:38,000

Rob

and honest enough to not necessarily

576

00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,875

Rob

have, yeah, done that knowingly.

577

00:20:42,500 --> 00:20:44,541

Rob

My point there again is that they were

578

00:20:44,541 --> 00:20:46,291

Rob

essentially able to sweep it under the

579

00:20:46,291 --> 00:20:48,625

Rob

rug, even though it made so there was a

580

00:20:48,625 --> 00:20:50,208

Rob

bit of a song and dance about it purely

581

00:20:50,208 --> 00:20:51,625

Rob

because of the size of their brand.

582

00:20:52,625 --> 00:20:54,083

Rob

I still think it's a good product.

583

00:20:55,958 --> 00:20:57,750

Rob

But yeah, it just shows ultimately that

584

00:20:57,750 --> 00:20:59,791

Rob

when you have a business or brand that's

585

00:20:59,791 --> 00:21:04,125

Rob

big enough, you can sort of cut corners

586

00:21:04,125 --> 00:21:05,541

Rob

and get away with it,

587

00:21:05,541 --> 00:21:07,208

Rob

which is sadly true.

588

00:21:08,375 --> 00:21:08,583

Rob

But yeah.

589

00:21:11,625 --> 00:21:13,500

Rob

And again, just with regards to the EMF

590

00:21:13,500 --> 00:21:15,125

Rob

thing, I couldn't agree more.

591

00:21:15,166 --> 00:21:16,958

Rob

And again, the crossovers with our

592

00:21:16,958 --> 00:21:19,125

Rob

business are interesting.

593

00:21:19,541 --> 00:21:21,583

Rob

We occasionally get people who are mown

594

00:21:21,583 --> 00:21:23,750

Rob

again about excipients, but then I sort

595

00:21:23,750 --> 00:21:25,625

Rob

of get back and say, "Well, are you still

596

00:21:25,625 --> 00:21:26,500

Rob

drinking tap water?"

597

00:21:27,041 --> 00:21:28,958

Rob

Because you sort of have bigger worries

598

00:21:28,958 --> 00:21:31,125

Rob

than excipients, the micro amounts of

599

00:21:31,125 --> 00:21:33,041

Rob

excipients in your supplement.

600

00:21:33,041 --> 00:21:35,375

Rob

If you are still drinking tap water, if

601

00:21:35,375 --> 00:21:37,208

Rob

you are still eating pesticide-laden

602

00:21:37,208 --> 00:21:40,666

Rob

food, let's sort of worry about the big

603

00:21:40,666 --> 00:21:42,291

Rob

needle movers and then you can worry

604

00:21:42,291 --> 00:21:43,958

Rob

about the excipients when you have

605

00:21:43,958 --> 00:21:45,125

Rob

everything else under control.

606

00:21:45,500 --> 00:21:47,291

Rob

So yeah, I understand

607

00:21:47,291 --> 00:21:48,333

Rob

completely what you're saying.

608

00:21:48,875 --> 00:21:50,458

Bryan Gohl

I mean, I think we share a

609

00:21:50,458 --> 00:21:52,500

Bryan Gohl

common niche, a common audience.

610

00:21:53,875 --> 00:21:56,208

Bryan Gohl

People that are going out and buying

611

00:21:56,208 --> 00:21:57,875

Bryan Gohl

specialist supplements or

612

00:21:57,875 --> 00:21:59,625

Bryan Gohl

specialist health technology,

613

00:22:01,083 --> 00:22:02,958

Bryan Gohl

they like to know what

614

00:22:02,958 --> 00:22:04,208

Bryan Gohl

they need to worry about.

615

00:22:05,375 --> 00:22:08,208

Bryan Gohl

So they like to worry about the red light

616

00:22:08,208 --> 00:22:09,541

Bryan Gohl

therapy because they want to be as

617

00:22:09,541 --> 00:22:11,541

Bryan Gohl

healthy as possible, but then they'll put

618

00:22:11,541 --> 00:22:13,750

Bryan Gohl

their Bluetooth headphones in or they'll

619

00:22:13,750 --> 00:22:15,291

Bryan Gohl

put their phone in their pocket or

620

00:22:15,291 --> 00:22:17,875

Bryan Gohl

they'll put their phone in their bra and

621

00:22:17,875 --> 00:22:19,041

Bryan Gohl

all the other things.

622

00:22:19,041 --> 00:22:20,458

Bryan Gohl

And it's just a bit, it's

623

00:22:20,458 --> 00:22:21,500

Bryan Gohl

just a bit past backwards.

624

00:22:22,208 --> 00:22:23,125

Rob

Yeah, it is a bit, but

625

00:22:23,125 --> 00:22:24,166

Rob

that's the nature of people.

626

00:22:24,416 --> 00:22:25,458

Rob

They want to quick fix.

627

00:22:25,458 --> 00:22:27,375

Rob

Nobody really wants to sort of focus on

628

00:22:27,375 --> 00:22:30,666

Rob

the stuff that actually matters, which is

629

00:22:30,666 --> 00:22:33,583

Rob

all the basics that aren't fun, that

630

00:22:33,583 --> 00:22:36,875

Rob

aren't sexy, sleep, just exposure to

631

00:22:36,875 --> 00:22:37,708

Rob

sunlight, et cetera.

632

00:22:38,291 --> 00:22:38,541

Rob

Anyway,

633

00:22:39,750 --> 00:22:41,375

Rob

well, that was tangent and a half.

634

00:22:41,666 --> 00:22:42,291

Rob

Thank you for that.

635

00:22:42,291 --> 00:22:43,666

Rob

That was actually a great way to start

636

00:22:43,666 --> 00:22:45,250

Rob

the conversation, but I reckon we should

637

00:22:45,250 --> 00:22:47,166

Rob

probably get back to

638

00:22:47,166 --> 00:22:48,291

Rob

red light specifically.

639

00:22:49,333 --> 00:22:52,000

Rob

And I think a great place to start going

640

00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,000

Rob

forward, of course, would be to sort of

641

00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:55,791

Rob

focus in a bit on how it works.

642

00:22:55,791 --> 00:22:56,958

Rob

And I know that may

643

00:22:56,958 --> 00:22:59,625

Rob

sound trite, but hear me out.

644

00:23:00,250 --> 00:23:02,791

Rob

See, I reckon, yeah, like you've alluded

645

00:23:02,791 --> 00:23:05,166

Rob

to already, most people are sort of aware

646

00:23:05,166 --> 00:23:08,041

Rob

of the surface level benefits of red

647

00:23:08,041 --> 00:23:09,041

Rob

light therapy, that it can

648

00:23:09,041 --> 00:23:10,416

Rob

support exercise recovery.

649

00:23:10,416 --> 00:23:13,291

Rob

It can help with your hormones to

650

00:23:13,291 --> 00:23:14,166

Rob

optimize testosterone

651

00:23:14,166 --> 00:23:15,791

Rob

and things like that.

652

00:23:15,791 --> 00:23:19,666

Rob

But very few people are aware of what's

653

00:23:19,666 --> 00:23:22,000

Rob

sort of mechanistically going on, what's

654

00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:23,166

Rob

driving these changes

655

00:23:23,166 --> 00:23:24,250

Rob

at a cellular level.

656

00:23:25,333 --> 00:23:28,291

Rob

Now I know it's got to do with something

657

00:23:28,291 --> 00:23:31,208

Rob

called a mitochondria and a specific

658

00:23:31,208 --> 00:23:33,333

Rob

enzyme called what cytochrome C-oxidase,

659

00:23:34,041 --> 00:23:36,500

Rob

all of which work together to help create

660

00:23:36,500 --> 00:23:38,916

Rob

more ATP or cellular energy.

661

00:23:40,291 --> 00:23:41,708

Rob

Beyond that, I'm not

662

00:23:41,708 --> 00:23:43,041

Rob

entirely sure what's going on.

663

00:23:43,041 --> 00:23:44,666

Rob

So would you be so kind as to educate

664

00:23:44,666 --> 00:23:47,541

Rob

both myself and the listeners on how red

665

00:23:47,541 --> 00:23:48,958

Rob

light therapy is working?

666

00:23:49,791 --> 00:23:50,750

Bryan Gohl

Yeah, absolutely.

667

00:23:51,208 --> 00:23:55,000

Bryan Gohl

So red light therapy is something that's

668

00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,000

Bryan Gohl

actually completely natural, even though

669

00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:57,791

Bryan Gohl

you're standing in

670

00:23:57,791 --> 00:23:59,541

Bryan Gohl

front of a man-made device.

671

00:23:59,666 --> 00:24:01,916

Bryan Gohl

But what this device is doing is it's

672

00:24:01,916 --> 00:24:05,125

Bryan Gohl

mimicking some of the healthiest parts of

673

00:24:05,125 --> 00:24:07,208

Bryan Gohl

the sun or some of the healthiest parts

674

00:24:07,208 --> 00:24:08,750

Bryan Gohl

of light that come from the sun.

675

00:24:09,125 --> 00:24:10,333

Bryan Gohl

And that is the red

676

00:24:10,333 --> 00:24:11,541

Bryan Gohl

and near infrared light.

677

00:24:12,083 --> 00:24:13,458

Bryan Gohl

Of course, we should

678

00:24:13,458 --> 00:24:14,958

Bryan Gohl

discuss the sun at some point.

679

00:24:14,958 --> 00:24:15,958

Bryan Gohl

The sun has a lot of

680

00:24:15,958 --> 00:24:17,125

Bryan Gohl

other benefits as well.

681

00:24:17,875 --> 00:24:20,291

Bryan Gohl

But like you know, in the UK, it's not

682

00:24:20,291 --> 00:24:21,458

Bryan Gohl

always easy to get a

683

00:24:21,458 --> 00:24:22,791

Bryan Gohl

good dose of sun every day.

684

00:24:23,208 --> 00:24:24,875

Bryan Gohl

So red light therapy fills

685

00:24:24,875 --> 00:24:27,166

Bryan Gohl

in those gaps very, very well.

686

00:24:27,875 --> 00:24:29,916

Bryan Gohl

And what happens is when your body is

687

00:24:29,916 --> 00:24:32,291

Bryan Gohl

exposed to red and near infrared light,

688

00:24:32,291 --> 00:24:34,791

Bryan Gohl

it is actually able to absorb this light,

689

00:24:35,125 --> 00:24:37,000

Bryan Gohl

which is very unique because it cannot

690

00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,541

Bryan Gohl

absorb any other kinds of

691

00:24:38,541 --> 00:24:39,958

Bryan Gohl

light that come from the sun.

692

00:24:41,583 --> 00:24:43,291

Bryan Gohl

And this light can be

693

00:24:43,291 --> 00:24:45,458

Bryan Gohl

absorbed quite deeply in the body.

694

00:24:46,083 --> 00:24:48,500

Bryan Gohl

So it turns out all the cells

695

00:24:48,500 --> 00:24:50,458

Bryan Gohl

of our body have mitochondria.

696

00:24:50,875 --> 00:24:53,208

Bryan Gohl

Those mitochondria are the energy

697

00:24:53,208 --> 00:24:56,083

Bryan Gohl

producing organelles inside the cell.

698

00:24:56,625 --> 00:24:59,416

Bryan Gohl

So it's the final process of breaking

699

00:24:59,416 --> 00:25:03,375

Bryan Gohl

down glucose or fat and oxygen, turning

700

00:25:03,375 --> 00:25:06,166

Bryan Gohl

it into cellular energy, which will fuel

701

00:25:06,166 --> 00:25:09,041

Bryan Gohl

the cell, fuel the tissue, and ultimately

702

00:25:09,041 --> 00:25:11,041

Bryan Gohl

fuel you as a human being, help you get

703

00:25:11,041 --> 00:25:12,625

Bryan Gohl

out of bed in the morning.

704

00:25:13,541 --> 00:25:14,708

Bryan Gohl

So red and near infrared

705

00:25:14,708 --> 00:25:16,083

Bryan Gohl

light penetrates the body.

706

00:25:16,083 --> 00:25:17,250

Bryan Gohl

It goes quite deep.

707

00:25:17,250 --> 00:25:20,250

Bryan Gohl

It goes into all the cells that you shine

708

00:25:20,250 --> 00:25:23,750

Bryan Gohl

it on in your muscles, your bones, your

709

00:25:23,750 --> 00:25:25,791

Bryan Gohl

glands, your skin, your eyes.

710

00:25:25,833 --> 00:25:28,791

Bryan Gohl

It even gets into your brain and it gets

711

00:25:28,791 --> 00:25:31,500

Bryan Gohl

absorbed by the mitochondria.

712

00:25:31,625 --> 00:25:33,666

Bryan Gohl

Specifically, it gets absorbed by this

713

00:25:33,666 --> 00:25:35,291

Bryan Gohl

photosensitive enzyme

714

00:25:35,291 --> 00:25:37,708

Bryan Gohl

called cytochrome C oxidase.

715

00:25:38,875 --> 00:25:43,375

Bryan Gohl

And when this enzyme absorbs the red and

716

00:25:43,375 --> 00:25:44,958

Bryan Gohl

infrared light, a

717

00:25:44,958 --> 00:25:45,875

Bryan Gohl

couple of things happen.

718

00:25:46,541 --> 00:25:48,500

Bryan Gohl

So the first thing that it does is that

719

00:25:48,500 --> 00:25:54,791

Bryan Gohl

it causes the enzyme to force a molecule

720

00:25:54,791 --> 00:25:56,916

Bryan Gohl

of nitric oxide out of the cell.

721

00:25:57,750 --> 00:25:58,791

Bryan Gohl

And this nitric oxide

722

00:25:58,791 --> 00:25:59,708

Bryan Gohl

goes into the blood.

723

00:26:00,541 --> 00:26:03,000

Bryan Gohl

Now nitric oxide is a vasodilator.

724

00:26:03,291 --> 00:26:05,791

Bryan Gohl

So it dilates the veins where your blood

725

00:26:05,791 --> 00:26:08,041

Bryan Gohl

is flowing through and helps blood flow

726

00:26:08,041 --> 00:26:11,625

Bryan Gohl

more smoothly, assist with detox and

727

00:26:11,625 --> 00:26:13,125

Bryan Gohl

assist with nutrient delivery.

728

00:26:13,625 --> 00:26:14,333

Bryan Gohl

So that's the first

729

00:26:14,333 --> 00:26:15,833

Bryan Gohl

thing, it increases blood flow.

730

00:26:16,541 --> 00:26:19,041

Bryan Gohl

Now, if you can have good blood flow all

731

00:26:19,041 --> 00:26:21,833

Bryan Gohl

over your body, you'll generally be in a

732

00:26:21,833 --> 00:26:23,833

Bryan Gohl

pretty good state because at least your

733

00:26:23,833 --> 00:26:26,166

Bryan Gohl

tissues will be serviced with fresh

734

00:26:26,166 --> 00:26:27,916

Bryan Gohl

oxygenated blood and the

735

00:26:27,916 --> 00:26:29,041

Bryan Gohl

vitamins and the minerals, etc.

736

00:26:30,166 --> 00:26:32,500

Bryan Gohl

The second thing that it does is once

737

00:26:32,500 --> 00:26:35,083

Bryan Gohl

this nitric oxide is kicked out of the

738

00:26:35,083 --> 00:26:38,000

Bryan Gohl

electron transport chain inside the

739

00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,625

Bryan Gohl

energy production cycle, that missing

740

00:26:41,625 --> 00:26:43,333

Bryan Gohl

molecule gets replaced by

741

00:26:43,333 --> 00:26:44,916

Bryan Gohl

an extra molecule of oxygen.

742

00:26:45,875 --> 00:26:48,875

Bryan Gohl

So suddenly inside the cell, it now has

743

00:26:48,875 --> 00:26:51,875

Bryan Gohl

one extra molecule of oxygen with which

744

00:26:51,875 --> 00:26:53,416

Bryan Gohl

to create cellular energy.

745

00:26:54,500 --> 00:26:56,708

Bryan Gohl

So it actually becomes more efficient at

746

00:26:56,708 --> 00:26:58,166

Bryan Gohl

creating cellular energy.

747

00:26:59,500 --> 00:27:01,500

Bryan Gohl

And once again, when the cell has more

748

00:27:01,500 --> 00:27:03,416

Bryan Gohl

energy, things just tend to get better.

749

00:27:04,458 --> 00:27:06,791

Bryan Gohl

The third thing that it does is red light

750

00:27:06,791 --> 00:27:09,916

Bryan Gohl

therapy is also an hormetic stressor,

751

00:27:10,458 --> 00:27:12,041

Bryan Gohl

which is we briefly touched on that

752

00:27:12,041 --> 00:27:15,458

Bryan Gohl

earlier on, sauna, cold plunge, fasting,

753

00:27:15,750 --> 00:27:17,291

Bryan Gohl

weightlifting, all that

754

00:27:17,291 --> 00:27:18,833

Bryan Gohl

stuff is hormetic stressor.

755

00:27:19,541 --> 00:27:20,833

Bryan Gohl

And red light therapy is a

756

00:27:20,833 --> 00:27:22,000

Bryan Gohl

hormetic stressor as well.

757

00:27:22,500 --> 00:27:25,333

Bryan Gohl

And what that means is it temporarily and

758

00:27:25,333 --> 00:27:28,416

Bryan Gohl

very minutely causes a stress on your

759

00:27:28,416 --> 00:27:31,416

Bryan Gohl

cells and it causes the cells to release.

760

00:27:31,833 --> 00:27:34,500

Bryan Gohl

Well, first it causes a tiny release of

761

00:27:34,500 --> 00:27:37,125

Bryan Gohl

reactive oxygen species or free radicals.

762

00:27:37,666 --> 00:27:40,458

Bryan Gohl

These are poisonous little molecules that

763

00:27:40,458 --> 00:27:43,416

Bryan Gohl

are the waste product of energy

764

00:27:43,416 --> 00:27:44,333

Bryan Gohl

production in the

765

00:27:44,333 --> 00:27:45,791

Bryan Gohl

cell, amongst other things.

766

00:27:46,250 --> 00:27:48,833

Bryan Gohl

It causes a tiny release of these

767

00:27:48,833 --> 00:27:50,166

Bryan Gohl

reactive oxygen species.

768

00:27:50,791 --> 00:27:54,666

Bryan Gohl

And then it stimulates itself to clean up

769

00:27:54,666 --> 00:27:56,916

Bryan Gohl

all the reactive oxygen species.

770

00:27:57,375 --> 00:27:59,666

Bryan Gohl

Now, if you have a lot of ROS or free

771

00:27:59,666 --> 00:28:01,083

Bryan Gohl

radicals, you have a lot of inflammation.

772

00:28:01,833 --> 00:28:04,125

Bryan Gohl

So your cells will release, thereafter

773

00:28:04,125 --> 00:28:06,583

Bryan Gohl

release their own natural

774

00:28:06,583 --> 00:28:08,500

Bryan Gohl

anti-inflammatories that go into the

775

00:28:08,500 --> 00:28:10,375

Bryan Gohl

bloodstream and circulate around your

776

00:28:10,375 --> 00:28:12,958

Bryan Gohl

body and contribute to decreasing

777

00:28:12,958 --> 00:28:14,833

Bryan Gohl

inflammation, wherever you

778

00:28:14,833 --> 00:28:15,708

Bryan Gohl

may have it in your body.

779

00:28:16,958 --> 00:28:19,916

Bryan Gohl

So just to recap, first thing it does is

780

00:28:19,916 --> 00:28:22,291

Bryan Gohl

it releases nitric oxide into the blood,

781

00:28:22,666 --> 00:28:23,708

Bryan Gohl

increases blood flow.

782

00:28:24,583 --> 00:28:27,041

Bryan Gohl

Number two, it stimulates an increase in

783

00:28:27,041 --> 00:28:28,208

Bryan Gohl

cellular energy production.

784

00:28:28,833 --> 00:28:30,833

Bryan Gohl

And number three, it stimulates an

785

00:28:30,833 --> 00:28:33,166

Bryan Gohl

increase in the release of natural

786

00:28:33,166 --> 00:28:34,208

Bryan Gohl

anti-inflammatories.

787

00:28:34,875 --> 00:28:37,000

Bryan Gohl

And when you combine all of those, more

788

00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,083

Bryan Gohl

blood flow, more energy, less

789

00:28:39,083 --> 00:28:42,666

Bryan Gohl

inflammation, then that will explain why

790

00:28:42,666 --> 00:28:44,541

Bryan Gohl

we see all these incredible changes

791

00:28:44,541 --> 00:28:47,083

Bryan Gohl

further down the health path.

792

00:28:48,291 --> 00:28:49,416

Rob

That was an amazing answer.

793

00:28:49,416 --> 00:28:49,791

Rob

I couldn't have

794

00:28:49,791 --> 00:28:51,041

Rob

structured a bit to myself.

795

00:28:51,583 --> 00:28:53,791

Rob

And I suppose if I was going to add

796

00:28:53,791 --> 00:28:56,291

Rob

anything, it would just be maybe a little

797

00:28:56,291 --> 00:28:58,083

Rob

more information about the immune system

798

00:28:58,083 --> 00:29:01,083

Rob

and how it helps to regulate some of

799

00:29:01,083 --> 00:29:05,000

Rob

those anti-inflammatory cytokines and

800

00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:09,000

Rob

also how it sort of epigenetically alters

801

00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,333

Rob

the cells so that they start producing

802

00:29:12,375 --> 00:29:14,875

Rob

more antioxidants through things like the

803

00:29:14,875 --> 00:29:16,875

Rob

activation of that NRF2 pathway,

804

00:29:17,875 --> 00:29:19,500

Rob

which I'm sure you're familiar with.

805

00:29:20,291 --> 00:29:22,041

Rob

But beyond that, thank

806

00:29:22,041 --> 00:29:22,833

Rob

you, that was amazing.

807

00:29:23,625 --> 00:29:25,833

Rob

Matricondra, I think, are something that

808

00:29:25,833 --> 00:29:29,833

Rob

I've really sort of taken a kind of deep

809

00:29:29,833 --> 00:29:32,041

Rob

dive into in recent years, especially

810

00:29:32,041 --> 00:29:34,708

Rob

having researched Dr.

811

00:29:34,708 --> 00:29:35,625

Rob

Robert Naviore's sort of

812

00:29:35,625 --> 00:29:37,000

Rob

cell dangerous response theory.

813

00:29:37,250 --> 00:29:38,916

Rob

I'm not sure if you're familiar with it.

814

00:29:39,458 --> 00:29:42,416

Rob

And also, I suppose more recently, Dr.

815

00:29:42,416 --> 00:29:45,375

Rob

Jack Cruz's work, to be honest, I'm still

816

00:29:45,375 --> 00:29:46,500

Rob

trying to figure out what he's talking

817

00:29:46,500 --> 00:29:47,500

Rob

about most of the time.

818

00:29:48,291 --> 00:29:50,458

Rob

But yeah, I'm adamant personally that

819

00:29:50,458 --> 00:29:53,541

Rob

there's a connection between light cold

820

00:29:53,541 --> 00:29:54,833

Rob

and matricondral function.

821

00:29:55,916 --> 00:29:58,000

Rob

However, that is definitely a deeper

822

00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,541

Rob

discussion for another day.

823

00:30:02,333 --> 00:30:04,708

Rob

Brian, I know your panels, well, the

824

00:30:04,708 --> 00:30:08,083

Rob

panel's red light

825

00:30:08,083 --> 00:30:11,208

Rob

rising cells are used both

826

00:30:12,208 --> 00:30:14,291

Rob

red and near infrared light, something

827

00:30:14,291 --> 00:30:16,041

Rob

you've already touched on.

828

00:30:17,625 --> 00:30:20,333

Rob

But yeah, I'd like it if we could just

829

00:30:20,333 --> 00:30:21,916

Rob

maybe take a deeper dive into the

830

00:30:21,916 --> 00:30:24,208

Rob

difference there obviously, when I think

831

00:30:24,208 --> 00:30:25,958

Rob

a lot of people start to think about near

832

00:30:25,958 --> 00:30:27,541

Rob

infrared light, they

833

00:30:27,541 --> 00:30:28,833

Rob

start to think about saunas.

834

00:30:29,041 --> 00:30:31,166

Rob

And we've had the guys from Clearlight,

835

00:30:31,416 --> 00:30:32,750

Rob

specifically Johannes, to

836

00:30:32,750 --> 00:30:34,625

Rob

chat about the benefits of sauna.

837

00:30:35,875 --> 00:30:37,666

Rob

But would you sort of help sort of

838

00:30:37,666 --> 00:30:40,958

Rob

elucidate us or elucidate on that

839

00:30:40,958 --> 00:30:43,208

Rob

specific topic, the difference between

840

00:30:43,208 --> 00:30:46,000

Rob

red light, near infrared light and why

841

00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,708

Rob

both are important for ourselves?

842

00:30:49,750 --> 00:30:53,875

Bryan Gohl

Yeah, so this is a great, this is a

843

00:30:53,875 --> 00:30:55,583

Bryan Gohl

question that I asked our answer almost

844

00:30:55,583 --> 00:30:58,000

Bryan Gohl

every day on social media or on emails.

845

00:30:59,833 --> 00:31:02,125

Bryan Gohl

People, it's easy to get confused between

846

00:31:02,125 --> 00:31:04,125

Bryan Gohl

red light therapy and infrared sauna.

847

00:31:05,416 --> 00:31:06,958

Bryan Gohl

And part of the reason why it's so easy

848

00:31:06,958 --> 00:31:08,000

Bryan Gohl

to be confused is

849

00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,458

Bryan Gohl

because red light therapy

850

00:31:11,708 --> 00:31:14,208

Bryan Gohl

uses, like you mentioned, it uses red and

851

00:31:14,208 --> 00:31:15,291

Bryan Gohl

near infrared light.

852

00:31:16,041 --> 00:31:18,333

Bryan Gohl

Okay, but near infrared light is a very,

853

00:31:18,666 --> 00:31:20,458

Bryan Gohl

you know, we have to be very careful on

854

00:31:20,458 --> 00:31:22,125

Bryan Gohl

how we speak about it, because near

855

00:31:22,125 --> 00:31:25,291

Bryan Gohl

infrared light is a very narrow defined

856

00:31:25,291 --> 00:31:27,333

Bryan Gohl

type of infrared light.

857

00:31:28,041 --> 00:31:29,958

Bryan Gohl

And when it comes to infrared saunas,

858

00:31:30,125 --> 00:31:32,458

Bryan Gohl

because it shares the same word, the

859

00:31:32,458 --> 00:31:35,083

Bryan Gohl

technical description of an infrared

860

00:31:35,083 --> 00:31:37,833

Bryan Gohl

sauna is using far infrared light.

861

00:31:38,666 --> 00:31:41,166

Bryan Gohl

So near infrared and far infrared light

862

00:31:41,166 --> 00:31:42,750

Bryan Gohl

are opposite ends of

863

00:31:42,750 --> 00:31:43,666

Bryan Gohl

the infrared spectrum.

864

00:31:44,208 --> 00:31:45,000

Bryan Gohl

And they have very

865

00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:46,250

Bryan Gohl

different effects on the body.

866

00:31:47,291 --> 00:31:49,666

Bryan Gohl

So like we touched on just then with red

867

00:31:49,666 --> 00:31:52,375

Bryan Gohl

light therapy, red and near infrared

868

00:31:52,375 --> 00:31:55,208

Bryan Gohl

light react in very similar ways on the

869

00:31:55,208 --> 00:31:57,208

Bryan Gohl

body, but they do it at different levels.

870

00:31:58,166 --> 00:32:00,041

Bryan Gohl

So what I tell people is that red light

871

00:32:00,041 --> 00:32:02,291

Bryan Gohl

therapy generally is good for things on

872

00:32:02,291 --> 00:32:04,166

Bryan Gohl

the outside of your body, because it

873

00:32:04,166 --> 00:32:06,083

Bryan Gohl

doesn't go very deep, it only goes a few

874

00:32:06,083 --> 00:32:07,250

Bryan Gohl

millimeters into the skin.

875

00:32:07,875 --> 00:32:10,708

Bryan Gohl

So the red light is mostly good for skin.

876

00:32:11,583 --> 00:32:12,333

Bryan Gohl

It's good for eyes.

877

00:32:12,833 --> 00:32:14,666

Bryan Gohl

Near infrared light is good for eyes as

878

00:32:14,666 --> 00:32:16,208

Bryan Gohl

well, but red light is

879

00:32:16,208 --> 00:32:18,333

Bryan Gohl

most often indicated for eyes.

880

00:32:19,375 --> 00:32:23,958

Bryan Gohl

Hair growth, mood and sleep are generally

881

00:32:23,958 --> 00:32:26,625

Bryan Gohl

the territory of the red light.

882

00:32:27,375 --> 00:32:29,416

Bryan Gohl

And the near infrared light acts in a

883

00:32:29,416 --> 00:32:30,541

Bryan Gohl

very similar way, but it

884

00:32:30,541 --> 00:32:32,000

Bryan Gohl

goes much deeper into the body.

885

00:32:32,833 --> 00:32:34,000

Bryan Gohl

So it's the near infrared

886

00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:35,458

Bryan Gohl

light that goes into the brain.

887

00:32:35,958 --> 00:32:38,250

Bryan Gohl

It goes into the muscles, into the

888

00:32:38,250 --> 00:32:39,958

Bryan Gohl

joints, into the bones.

889

00:32:40,541 --> 00:32:41,833

Bryan Gohl

It goes much deeper into

890

00:32:41,833 --> 00:32:43,000

Bryan Gohl

the body, into the organs.

891

00:32:43,625 --> 00:32:44,583

Bryan Gohl

It does very similar

892

00:32:44,583 --> 00:32:46,875

Bryan Gohl

things just on different levels.

893

00:32:47,833 --> 00:32:49,166

Bryan Gohl

So that's how I ask people to

894

00:32:49,166 --> 00:32:50,833

Bryan Gohl

think about red light therapy.

895

00:32:51,833 --> 00:32:55,000

Bryan Gohl

And then if we go and talk about far

896

00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,500

Bryan Gohl

infrared, which is what it's the most

897

00:32:57,500 --> 00:32:58,750

Bryan Gohl

important type of light

898

00:32:58,750 --> 00:33:00,000

Bryan Gohl

that they use in the saunas.

899

00:33:00,458 --> 00:33:02,791

Bryan Gohl

Some saunas do have near infrared and mid

900

00:33:02,791 --> 00:33:05,500

Bryan Gohl

infrared as well as far infrared, but

901

00:33:05,500 --> 00:33:07,166

Bryan Gohl

it's the far infrared that's doing all

902

00:33:07,166 --> 00:33:09,708

Bryan Gohl

the work because far infrared penetrates

903

00:33:09,708 --> 00:33:11,375

Bryan Gohl

your body and it doesn't get

904

00:33:11,375 --> 00:33:13,000

Bryan Gohl

absorbed by your mitochondria.

905

00:33:13,416 --> 00:33:15,708

Bryan Gohl

It heats up the water around your cells.

906

00:33:16,750 --> 00:33:18,041

Bryan Gohl

So it's heating your body from the

907

00:33:18,041 --> 00:33:20,250

Bryan Gohl

inside, which makes you sweat and then

908

00:33:20,250 --> 00:33:22,541

Bryan Gohl

helps you with detox and relaxation and

909

00:33:22,541 --> 00:33:24,166

Bryan Gohl

stress relief and all of that.

910

00:33:24,500 --> 00:33:26,416

Bryan Gohl

But it's very, very different to the near

911

00:33:26,416 --> 00:33:29,000

Bryan Gohl

infrared light in red light therapy.

912

00:33:30,458 --> 00:33:32,375

Rob

Yeah, I think that's why having a panel

913

00:33:32,375 --> 00:33:35,125

Rob

or sauna or whatever modality you're

914

00:33:35,125 --> 00:33:36,500

Rob

wishing to use, that

915

00:33:36,500 --> 00:33:38,083

Rob

full spectrum is important.

916

00:33:39,166 --> 00:33:41,791

Rob

Obviously, there are specific use cases

917

00:33:41,791 --> 00:33:45,000

Rob

where you maybe just want near infrared

918

00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:45,916

Rob

versus far infrared.

919

00:33:46,333 --> 00:33:48,083

Rob

But for the most part, they

920

00:33:48,083 --> 00:33:49,083

Rob

are obviously all important.

921

00:33:49,375 --> 00:33:50,666

Rob

And I think that's often times where

922

00:33:50,666 --> 00:33:54,250

Rob

people go wrong with sort of maybe not

923

00:33:54,250 --> 00:33:57,375

Rob

trying to take a shortcut, but being sort

924

00:33:57,375 --> 00:33:59,041

Rob

of laid down the garden path with

925

00:33:59,041 --> 00:34:00,125

Rob

products that you see

926

00:34:00,125 --> 00:34:01,875

Rob

on Amazon, for example.

927

00:34:01,875 --> 00:34:03,500

Rob

I think a lot of people will just pick up

928

00:34:03,500 --> 00:34:05,291

Rob

a cheap physio light and think they've

929

00:34:05,291 --> 00:34:06,208

Rob

got their bases covered.

930

00:34:06,750 --> 00:34:10,041

Rob

And if those products are indeed real,

931

00:34:10,041 --> 00:34:13,958

Rob

not just a glorified sort of lens on top

932

00:34:13,958 --> 00:34:17,333

Rob

of the actual light, they are limited by

933

00:34:17,333 --> 00:34:21,750

Rob

the different types of

934

00:34:21,750 --> 00:34:22,791

Rob

wavelengths that they produce.

935

00:34:23,291 --> 00:34:25,375

Rob

I think a lot of them are just very

936

00:34:25,375 --> 00:34:27,458

Rob

isolated to one or the other.

937

00:34:28,458 --> 00:34:31,375

Rob

And really, I think that's not a bad

938

00:34:31,375 --> 00:34:32,458

Rob

segue into sort of now

939

00:34:32,458 --> 00:34:34,125

Rob

talking about natural light.

940

00:34:35,208 --> 00:34:36,375

Rob

And I know, obviously,

941

00:34:36,666 --> 00:34:37,666

Rob

red light has its place.

942

00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:39,541

Rob

And as you alluded to earlier, a lot of

943

00:34:39,541 --> 00:34:41,250

Rob

people, I think, pick up these panels

944

00:34:42,041 --> 00:34:44,333

Rob

because they live in a country and

945

00:34:44,333 --> 00:34:46,666

Rob

environment like the UK, where you go

946

00:34:46,666 --> 00:34:48,958

Rob

outside and you generally

947

00:34:48,958 --> 00:34:50,708

Rob

are depressed by default.

948

00:34:52,208 --> 00:34:53,833

Rob

Of course, that's not to say that just

949

00:34:53,833 --> 00:34:56,458

Rob

because it's overcast that there isn't a

950

00:34:56,458 --> 00:34:57,666

Rob

good reason to go outside.

951

00:34:59,083 --> 00:35:02,875

Rob

But yeah, I think without that actual

952

00:35:02,875 --> 00:35:06,375

Rob

sunshine, it's difficult to convince

953

00:35:06,375 --> 00:35:08,166

Rob

yourself that you're actually getting any

954

00:35:08,166 --> 00:35:10,875

Rob

of the benefits of being outside when

955

00:35:10,875 --> 00:35:13,166

Rob

it's gray and overcast and your serotonin

956

00:35:13,166 --> 00:35:16,083

Rob

has plummeted to the nth degree.

957

00:35:16,916 --> 00:35:18,916

Rob

However, would you be able to expand on

958

00:35:18,916 --> 00:35:21,458

Rob

why natural light is as

959

00:35:21,458 --> 00:35:24,500

Rob

important as just the red light?

960

00:35:24,500 --> 00:35:26,666

Rob

Obviously, red light is a component of

961

00:35:26,666 --> 00:35:28,916

Rob

natural light, but you also get your

962

00:35:28,916 --> 00:35:31,083

Rob

other wavelengths, your other spectrums,

963

00:35:31,791 --> 00:35:35,083

Rob

everything from ultraviolet to green

964

00:35:35,083 --> 00:35:37,958

Rob

light, UVA, UVB, all of which serve

965

00:35:38,291 --> 00:35:39,750

Rob

different functions in our bodies.

966

00:35:41,125 --> 00:35:43,875

Rob

But yeah, I'll hand that over to you.

967

00:35:43,875 --> 00:35:45,500

Rob

And I'm sure you can provide a more

968

00:35:45,500 --> 00:35:47,500

Rob

complete answer than I can be.

969

00:35:47,750 --> 00:35:49,791

Rob

Just why natural light is also important.

970

00:35:50,458 --> 00:35:53,583

Bryan Gohl

So something I tell my clients as well

971

00:35:53,583 --> 00:35:56,125

Bryan Gohl

is, you know, it's like you were talking

972

00:35:56,125 --> 00:35:57,500

Bryan Gohl

about with your supplements, you know,

973

00:35:57,500 --> 00:35:58,958

Bryan Gohl

people worry about the ingredients of the

974

00:35:58,958 --> 00:36:00,791

Bryan Gohl

supplements when there's a lot more

975

00:36:00,791 --> 00:36:02,333

Bryan Gohl

important things to worry about that you

976

00:36:02,333 --> 00:36:03,250

Bryan Gohl

could get done first.

977

00:36:04,083 --> 00:36:06,250

Bryan Gohl

And sunlight is that equivalent for me.

978

00:36:07,208 --> 00:36:08,625

Bryan Gohl

So when someone comes to me and they say,

979

00:36:08,625 --> 00:36:10,333

Bryan Gohl

"Listen, I've got XYZ symptoms.

980

00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,916

Bryan Gohl

I want to try red light therapy for it."

981

00:36:12,916 --> 00:36:14,583

Bryan Gohl

The first thing I say is, "Are you

982

00:36:14,583 --> 00:36:15,833

Bryan Gohl

getting outside every day?

983

00:36:16,291 --> 00:36:17,041

Bryan Gohl

Are you getting at

984

00:36:17,041 --> 00:36:18,583

Bryan Gohl

least some sun every day?"

985

00:36:19,333 --> 00:36:21,000

Bryan Gohl

And if you're not,

986

00:36:21,583 --> 00:36:23,083

Bryan Gohl

that's the place to start.

987

00:36:23,083 --> 00:36:24,333

Bryan Gohl

You know, I never I would never tell

988

00:36:24,333 --> 00:36:25,500

Bryan Gohl

anybody, "Oh, red light

989

00:36:25,500 --> 00:36:26,791

Bryan Gohl

therapy is better than the sun.

990

00:36:27,250 --> 00:36:28,375

Bryan Gohl

Don't worry about the sun,

991

00:36:28,375 --> 00:36:29,541

Bryan Gohl

you know, just buy my product."

992

00:36:29,541 --> 00:36:31,125

Bryan Gohl

Because that's just not the truth.

993

00:36:31,750 --> 00:36:33,291

Bryan Gohl

The number one, the most important thing

994

00:36:33,291 --> 00:36:36,500

Bryan Gohl

is to get natural light every day, even

995

00:36:36,500 --> 00:36:39,250

Bryan Gohl

if it's winter, even if it's gray, the

996

00:36:39,250 --> 00:36:42,625

Bryan Gohl

intensity that comes from the sun and the

997

00:36:42,625 --> 00:36:44,125

Bryan Gohl

spectrum of light, you

998

00:36:44,125 --> 00:36:45,500

Bryan Gohl

cannot mimic anywhere.

999

00:36:46,125 --> 00:36:48,375

Bryan Gohl

No matter how many different types of

Speaker:

00:36:48,375 --> 00:36:50,750

Bryan Gohl

lights you have, you can do a reasonable

Speaker:

00:36:50,750 --> 00:36:52,583

Bryan Gohl

proximity to it, but you

Speaker:

00:36:52,583 --> 00:36:53,791

Bryan Gohl

can never mimic the sun.

Speaker:

00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,208

Bryan Gohl

And even on a cloudy day, the amount of

Speaker:

00:36:57,208 --> 00:36:59,333

Bryan Gohl

different kind of light that is

Speaker:

00:36:59,333 --> 00:37:00,708

Bryan Gohl

penetrating through the clouds and

Speaker:

00:37:00,708 --> 00:37:03,833

Bryan Gohl

reaching your body has just physiological

Speaker:

00:37:03,833 --> 00:37:06,000

Bryan Gohl

benefits that could never be matched with

Speaker:

00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:07,208

Bryan Gohl

a technology or a pill.

Speaker:

00:37:07,833 --> 00:37:10,000

Bryan Gohl

You know, if you've got the blues and the

Speaker:

00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,250

Bryan Gohl

greens, which are telling your body what

Speaker:

00:37:12,250 --> 00:37:14,333

Bryan Gohl

time of day it is, you know, that blue

Speaker:

00:37:14,333 --> 00:37:16,083

Bryan Gohl

and green light is going in your eyes,

Speaker:

00:37:16,083 --> 00:37:17,958

Bryan Gohl

it's very specifically coded.

Speaker:

00:37:18,291 --> 00:37:21,375

Bryan Gohl

So, you know, an easy way to think about

Speaker:

00:37:21,375 --> 00:37:23,291

Bryan Gohl

it is that, you know, light is measured

Speaker:

00:37:23,291 --> 00:37:26,625

Bryan Gohl

in nanometers and it starts from, you

Speaker:

00:37:26,625 --> 00:37:27,958

Bryan Gohl

know, probably zero,

Speaker:

00:37:27,958 --> 00:37:29,708

Bryan Gohl

but even maybe negative.

Speaker:

00:37:30,500 --> 00:37:31,583

Bryan Gohl

And it goes all the way up

Speaker:

00:37:31,583 --> 00:37:33,416

Bryan Gohl

to millions of nanometers.

Speaker:

00:37:33,958 --> 00:37:34,208

Bryan Gohl

Okay.

Speaker:

00:37:34,500 --> 00:37:37,291

Bryan Gohl

And as an example, the red spectrum is

Speaker:

00:37:37,291 --> 00:37:39,125

Bryan Gohl

600 to 700 nanometers.

Speaker:

00:37:40,125 --> 00:37:41,541

Bryan Gohl

The near infrared spectrum

Speaker:

00:37:41,541 --> 00:37:45,250

Bryan Gohl

is 800 to 1400 nanometers.

Speaker:

00:37:45,500 --> 00:37:47,666

Bryan Gohl

And then the far infrared is somewhere

Speaker:

00:37:47,666 --> 00:37:48,208

Bryan Gohl

around the hundred

Speaker:

00:37:48,208 --> 00:37:50,000

Bryan Gohl

thousands or the million nanometers.

Speaker:

00:37:50,708 --> 00:37:51,083

Bryan Gohl

Okay.

Speaker:

00:37:51,083 --> 00:37:54,458

Bryan Gohl

Now you've got every single one nanometer

Speaker:

00:37:54,458 --> 00:37:56,000

Bryan Gohl

is a slightly different color.

Speaker:

00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:57,416

Bryan Gohl

Okay.

Speaker:

00:37:57,416 --> 00:38:00,166

Bryan Gohl

And now if you can hold a spectrometer up

Speaker:

00:38:00,166 --> 00:38:03,041

Bryan Gohl

to the sun, you'll see a beautiful curve

Speaker:

00:38:03,041 --> 00:38:04,666

Bryan Gohl

of, you know, you'll see the colors of

Speaker:

00:38:04,666 --> 00:38:06,541

Bryan Gohl

the rainbow depicted on a curve.

Speaker:

00:38:06,958 --> 00:38:09,458

Bryan Gohl

And each one of them is slightly more

Speaker:

00:38:09,458 --> 00:38:10,500

Bryan Gohl

intense than the last

Speaker:

00:38:10,500 --> 00:38:12,083

Bryan Gohl

or slightly less intense.

Speaker:

00:38:12,458 --> 00:38:15,666

Bryan Gohl

It's just this mix of color and light

Speaker:

00:38:15,666 --> 00:38:17,208

Bryan Gohl

that is impossible to

Speaker:

00:38:17,208 --> 00:38:19,750

Bryan Gohl

simulate with modern technology.

Speaker:

00:38:20,666 --> 00:38:22,916

Bryan Gohl

And every single one of those colors and

Speaker:

00:38:22,916 --> 00:38:24,833

Bryan Gohl

types of light is a message to your body.

Speaker:

00:38:25,416 --> 00:38:26,708

Bryan Gohl

It's a message, you know, to your

Speaker:

00:38:26,708 --> 00:38:28,666

Bryan Gohl

circadian rhythm, your sleep-wake cycle.

Speaker:

00:38:29,125 --> 00:38:31,250

Bryan Gohl

It's a message to your seasonal circadian

Speaker:

00:38:31,250 --> 00:38:33,250

Bryan Gohl

rhythms to tell your body, you know,

Speaker:

00:38:33,250 --> 00:38:34,416

Bryan Gohl

where you are in time.

Speaker:

00:38:34,458 --> 00:38:35,916

Bryan Gohl

Is it time to burn fat?

Speaker:

00:38:35,916 --> 00:38:37,041

Bryan Gohl

Is it time to store fat?

Speaker:

00:38:38,750 --> 00:38:39,708

Bryan Gohl

Natural light is incredibly

Speaker:

00:38:39,708 --> 00:38:41,041

Bryan Gohl

important for your immunity.

Speaker:

00:38:41,291 --> 00:38:44,125

Bryan Gohl

You know, the sun tells your body if

Speaker:

00:38:44,125 --> 00:38:46,375

Bryan Gohl

there's a change of season coming and if

Speaker:

00:38:46,375 --> 00:38:47,500

Bryan Gohl

your immunity needs to be

Speaker:

00:38:47,500 --> 00:38:48,916

Bryan Gohl

ready for a change of season.

Speaker:

00:38:51,375 --> 00:38:53,041

Bryan Gohl

Blood sugar, you know, natural light

Speaker:

00:38:53,041 --> 00:38:54,333

Bryan Gohl

affects blood sugar.

Speaker:

00:38:54,333 --> 00:38:56,041

Bryan Gohl

It affects the amount of energy that your

Speaker:

00:38:56,041 --> 00:38:57,833

Bryan Gohl

cells are using and

Speaker:

00:38:57,833 --> 00:38:59,375

Bryan Gohl

therefore sucking out of your blood.

Speaker:

00:39:00,291 --> 00:39:01,416

Bryan Gohl

Not to mention all

Speaker:

00:39:01,416 --> 00:39:02,583

Bryan Gohl

the benefits of the UV.

Speaker:

00:39:02,625 --> 00:39:04,958

Bryan Gohl

You know, we need UV to have healthy

Speaker:

00:39:04,958 --> 00:39:07,625

Bryan Gohl

vitamin D levels and you need healthy

Speaker:

00:39:07,625 --> 00:39:09,500

Bryan Gohl

vitamin D levels to be healthy.

Speaker:

00:39:09,958 --> 00:39:11,791

Bryan Gohl

You know, bone health, you know, skin

Speaker:

00:39:11,791 --> 00:39:14,958

Bryan Gohl

integrity, hormonal integrity, especially

Speaker:

00:39:14,958 --> 00:39:18,208

Bryan Gohl

every a lot of things rely on vitamin D.

Speaker:

00:39:19,625 --> 00:39:21,916

Bryan Gohl

And the easiest and the best way to make

Speaker:

00:39:21,916 --> 00:39:22,750

Bryan Gohl

sure you're ticking all

Speaker:

00:39:22,750 --> 00:39:23,958

Bryan Gohl

those boxes is the sun.

Speaker:

00:39:24,291 --> 00:39:26,500

Bryan Gohl

Because you get that full spectrum of

Speaker:

00:39:26,500 --> 00:39:30,583

Bryan Gohl

light in a single session in 20 to 30

Speaker:

00:39:30,583 --> 00:39:32,875

Bryan Gohl

minutes a day that no amount of

Speaker:

00:39:32,875 --> 00:39:34,000

Bryan Gohl

technology can replace.

Speaker:

00:39:35,416 --> 00:39:36,250

Bryan Gohl

Even in winter.

Speaker:

00:39:37,041 --> 00:39:39,708

Bryan Gohl

So it's arguably more important in winter

Speaker:

00:39:39,708 --> 00:39:42,166

Bryan Gohl

to go outside, especially if it's cold.

Speaker:

00:39:42,791 --> 00:39:45,291

Bryan Gohl

Because what I'm starting to learn about

Speaker:

00:39:45,291 --> 00:39:47,708

Bryan Gohl

and what I'm starting to understand is

Speaker:

00:39:47,708 --> 00:39:50,916

Bryan Gohl

that when the intensity of the sun is

Speaker:

00:39:50,916 --> 00:39:54,208

Bryan Gohl

lower during winter and it's colder,

Speaker:

00:39:55,416 --> 00:39:59,666

Bryan Gohl

that cold thermogenesis actually creates

Speaker:

00:39:59,666 --> 00:40:01,666

Bryan Gohl

near, I don't know the full story.

Speaker:

00:40:01,916 --> 00:40:03,875

Bryan Gohl

I'm still learning, but it creates near

Speaker:

00:40:03,875 --> 00:40:05,500

Bryan Gohl

infrared light inside your

Speaker:

00:40:05,500 --> 00:40:07,375

Bryan Gohl

cells on the inside of you.

Speaker:

00:40:08,791 --> 00:40:11,166

Bryan Gohl

So that's one of the reasons why cold

Speaker:

00:40:11,166 --> 00:40:13,375

Bryan Gohl

therapy is so important because it forces

Speaker:

00:40:13,375 --> 00:40:15,458

Bryan Gohl

the cells to create their own light from

Speaker:

00:40:15,458 --> 00:40:17,541

Bryan Gohl

the inside and your body can use.

Speaker:

00:40:17,541 --> 00:40:18,333

Bryan Gohl

The photoelectric effect.

Speaker:

00:40:18,916 --> 00:40:19,291

Bryan Gohl

Exactly.

Speaker:

00:40:19,541 --> 00:40:21,875

Bryan Gohl

So your body can use that light as well.

Speaker:

00:40:21,916 --> 00:40:23,916

Bryan Gohl

So even though it's lacking from the sun,

Speaker:

00:40:24,416 --> 00:40:25,750

Bryan Gohl

if you get cold enough,

Speaker:

00:40:25,750 --> 00:40:26,916

Bryan Gohl

you will make your own.

Speaker:

00:40:27,458 --> 00:40:29,500

Bryan Gohl

And that will at least

Speaker:

00:40:29,500 --> 00:40:30,750

Bryan Gohl

keep your health better.

Speaker:

00:40:31,208 --> 00:40:32,833

Bryan Gohl

You might not be as healthy as you could

Speaker:

00:40:32,833 --> 00:40:34,750

Bryan Gohl

be in the summer when you're getting all

Speaker:

00:40:34,750 --> 00:40:35,833

Bryan Gohl

that beautiful far

Speaker:

00:40:35,833 --> 00:40:37,708

Bryan Gohl

infrared, the heat and the UV.

Speaker:

00:40:39,166 --> 00:40:41,083

Bryan Gohl

But especially for humans in the Northern

Speaker:

00:40:41,083 --> 00:40:43,125

Bryan Gohl

Hemisphere, this is the cycle that we've

Speaker:

00:40:43,125 --> 00:40:44,041

Bryan Gohl

evolved with and we

Speaker:

00:40:44,041 --> 00:40:45,541

Bryan Gohl

should actually stick to.

Speaker:

00:40:45,791 --> 00:40:47,625

Bryan Gohl

Being hot and sweaty in the summer with

Speaker:

00:40:47,625 --> 00:40:51,500

Bryan Gohl

plenty of sun and then being cold and a

Speaker:

00:40:51,500 --> 00:40:54,083

Bryan Gohl

bit more huddled up, but

Speaker:

00:40:54,083 --> 00:40:55,583

Bryan Gohl

still with natural light.

Speaker:

00:40:55,875 --> 00:40:57,083

Bryan Gohl

It's just impossible to

Speaker:

00:40:57,083 --> 00:40:58,208

Bryan Gohl

replace at this stage.

Speaker:

00:40:59,291 --> 00:41:00,000

Rob

Yeah, I know it is.

Speaker:

00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:01,666

Rob

And it just shows that you can't outsmart

Speaker:

00:41:01,666 --> 00:41:02,958

Rob

nature at any level.

Speaker:

00:41:02,958 --> 00:41:04,833

Rob

Maybe you can augment it to some extent,

Speaker:

00:41:04,833 --> 00:41:07,750

Rob

but you definitely can't replace it.

Speaker:

00:41:08,791 --> 00:41:10,583

Rob

I love that you just talked about the

Speaker:

00:41:10,583 --> 00:41:11,750

Rob

photoelectric effect.

Speaker:

00:41:11,750 --> 00:41:14,083

Rob

I think it's fascinating and there's a

Speaker:

00:41:14,083 --> 00:41:16,541

Rob

lot of evidence there to suggest that

Speaker:

00:41:16,541 --> 00:41:18,791

Rob

people who sort of, even if they are,

Speaker:

00:41:18,791 --> 00:41:22,416

Rob

say, and we'll use Caucasian ethnicity as

Speaker:

00:41:22,416 --> 00:41:24,291

Rob

an example, but if you are.

Speaker:

00:41:25,208 --> 00:41:27,291

Rob

So, I mean, we both grew up in South

Speaker:

00:41:27,291 --> 00:41:29,083

Rob

Africa, for example, but we are both of

Speaker:

00:41:29,083 --> 00:41:29,833

Rob

European descent,

Speaker:

00:41:30,125 --> 00:41:31,250

Rob

Caucasian European descent.

Speaker:

00:41:32,458 --> 00:41:34,291

Rob

But because we grew up in a sunny

Speaker:

00:41:34,291 --> 00:41:36,916

Rob

environment, our mitochondria have

Speaker:

00:41:36,916 --> 00:41:39,458

Rob

developed in a way where they are now

Speaker:

00:41:39,458 --> 00:41:44,750

Rob

photo electrically inclined to create

Speaker:

00:41:45,791 --> 00:41:48,791

Rob

less energy than we would have had we

Speaker:

00:41:48,791 --> 00:41:50,500

Rob

grown up in northern latitudes where

Speaker:

00:41:50,500 --> 00:41:51,500

Rob

there is less sunshine.

Speaker:

00:41:52,208 --> 00:41:55,125

Rob

So that's why, at least speculatively

Speaker:

00:41:55,125 --> 00:41:58,166

Rob

speaking, so many people, even if they

Speaker:

00:41:58,166 --> 00:42:00,166

Rob

are of northern European descent,

Speaker:

00:42:00,500 --> 00:42:02,333

Rob

struggle more so to adapt to

Speaker:

00:42:02,333 --> 00:42:04,583

Rob

a different light environment

Speaker:

00:42:05,625 --> 00:42:07,541

Rob

than people who grew up in that

Speaker:

00:42:07,541 --> 00:42:09,875

Rob

environment because their mitochondria

Speaker:

00:42:09,875 --> 00:42:13,500

Rob

are less conditioned to, and their cells

Speaker:

00:42:13,500 --> 00:42:14,666

Rob

as well, because it's not just

Speaker:

00:42:14,666 --> 00:42:17,000

Rob

mitochondria, to producing those

Speaker:

00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:18,250

Rob

different spectrums of

Speaker:

00:42:18,250 --> 00:42:19,791

Rob

light when it is cold.

Speaker:

00:42:20,791 --> 00:42:23,500

Rob

So, yeah, it just shows how important

Speaker:

00:42:23,500 --> 00:42:25,708

Rob

environment can be, how important

Speaker:

00:42:26,666 --> 00:42:29,541

Rob

electromagnetism can be as a whole.

Speaker:

00:42:29,750 --> 00:42:31,666

Rob

And that's definitely something I'm not

Speaker:

00:42:31,666 --> 00:42:32,833

Rob

qualified to talk about.

Speaker:

00:42:33,375 --> 00:42:36,750

Rob

And it's very much going into the whole

Speaker:

00:42:36,750 --> 00:42:41,375

Rob

quantum biology discussion, which is an

Speaker:

00:42:41,375 --> 00:42:42,375

Rob

absolute mindfulness.

Speaker:

00:42:42,625 --> 00:42:45,541

Rob

I'm sure you can attest to it.

Speaker:

00:42:46,375 --> 00:42:48,833

Bryan Gohl

I mean, even the people that talk about

Speaker:

00:42:48,833 --> 00:42:50,833

Bryan Gohl

quantum biology can't explain it that

Speaker:

00:42:50,833 --> 00:42:52,333

Bryan Gohl

anybody else can understand it.

Speaker:

00:42:52,333 --> 00:42:52,750

Bryan Gohl

So it's like...

Speaker:

00:42:53,500 --> 00:42:53,833

Rob

No,

Speaker:

00:42:55,333 --> 00:42:59,000

Rob

there's a great podcast out there.

Speaker:

00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:00,458

Rob

It's called Richie Flow Nutrition.

Speaker:

00:43:00,750 --> 00:43:02,458

Rob

I think it's...

Speaker:

00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:03,750

Rob

What's his name?

Speaker:

00:43:04,250 --> 00:43:05,416

Rob

Cameron Borg is the host.

Speaker:

00:43:05,416 --> 00:43:06,500

Rob

He does an excellent job.

Speaker:

00:43:06,541 --> 00:43:10,083

Rob

I think he's got a background in

Speaker:

00:43:10,083 --> 00:43:13,208

Rob

pulmonology, and he's gotten into this

Speaker:

00:43:13,208 --> 00:43:16,125

Rob

quantum biology field.

Speaker:

00:43:17,083 --> 00:43:18,916

Rob

Tristan Scott is another excellent one

Speaker:

00:43:18,916 --> 00:43:20,291

Rob

for anyone who is interested

Speaker:

00:43:20,291 --> 00:43:22,125

Rob

in learning more about this.

Speaker:

00:43:22,125 --> 00:43:24,125

Rob

And then, of course, there's Jack Cruz.

Speaker:

00:43:25,416 --> 00:43:27,583

Rob

I think he does tend to rub people up the

Speaker:

00:43:27,583 --> 00:43:28,333

Rob

wrong way and takes

Speaker:

00:43:28,333 --> 00:43:30,583

Rob

some very strong opinions.

Speaker:

00:43:31,166 --> 00:43:34,041

Rob

But yeah, it's definitely...

Speaker:

00:43:35,666 --> 00:43:37,166

Rob

I mean, people say this all the time, but

Speaker:

00:43:37,166 --> 00:43:42,541

Rob

I think it's probably the next frontier

Speaker:

00:43:42,541 --> 00:43:45,583

Rob

of us understanding more about biology.

Speaker:

00:43:46,458 --> 00:43:49,083

Rob

I mean, that's, like I mentioned earlier,

Speaker:

00:43:49,083 --> 00:43:50,666

Rob

my backgrounds in chem, biochem

Speaker:

00:43:50,666 --> 00:43:53,583

Rob

specifically, but of hours to go back and

Speaker:

00:43:53,583 --> 00:43:54,708

Rob

do it all over again, I would

Speaker:

00:43:54,708 --> 00:43:56,250

Rob

definitely study biophysics.

Speaker:

00:43:56,291 --> 00:44:00,833

Rob

Because, yeah, unless you sort of

Speaker:

00:44:00,833 --> 00:44:04,750

Rob

understand the physics behind biology,

Speaker:

00:44:05,208 --> 00:44:08,458

Rob

you're going to run into a bottleneck

Speaker:

00:44:08,458 --> 00:44:12,208

Rob

because you can only explain so much with

Speaker:

00:44:12,208 --> 00:44:14,333

Rob

enzymes and proteins and lipids.

Speaker:

00:44:16,041 --> 00:44:17,875

Rob

There has to be a point in which you

Speaker:

00:44:17,875 --> 00:44:19,833

Rob

actually start to look at it from a

Speaker:

00:44:19,833 --> 00:44:22,750

Rob

physical literally standpoint and what's

Speaker:

00:44:22,750 --> 00:44:24,000

Rob

happening at an atomic level.

Speaker:

00:44:24,916 --> 00:44:26,500

Rob

Anyway, a discussion

Speaker:

00:44:26,500 --> 00:44:27,666

Rob

for another day, perhaps.

Speaker:

00:44:29,250 --> 00:44:31,625

Rob

Brian, I'd like to pivot into maybe how

Speaker:

00:44:31,625 --> 00:44:33,041

Rob

red light can be supportive

Speaker:

00:44:33,041 --> 00:44:35,291

Rob

of various health conditions.

Speaker:

00:44:36,583 --> 00:44:39,041

Rob

Now, obviously, yeah,

Speaker:

00:44:40,250 --> 00:44:41,833

Rob

supplemental red light therapy has been

Speaker:

00:44:41,833 --> 00:44:44,125

Rob

around for a while now, I think.

Speaker:

00:44:44,791 --> 00:44:47,125

Rob

Sort of guys like Ben Greenfield started

Speaker:

00:44:47,125 --> 00:44:49,791

Rob

talking about it, we're not about 20, 14,

Speaker:

00:44:49,791 --> 00:44:51,500

Rob

2015, right about there.

Speaker:

00:44:52,500 --> 00:44:55,791

Rob

And obviously, talking about the bigger

Speaker:

00:44:55,791 --> 00:44:57,750

Rob

companies in America, who we work name.

Speaker:

00:44:58,708 --> 00:45:01,250

Rob

But, yeah, it's sort of grown from there.

Speaker:

00:45:01,250 --> 00:45:03,208

Rob

And it sort of got to the point where

Speaker:

00:45:03,208 --> 00:45:06,166

Rob

people are now sort of shining red light

Speaker:

00:45:06,166 --> 00:45:07,708

Rob

on their nether regions.

Speaker:

00:45:08,166 --> 00:45:11,125

Rob

And, yeah, every surface and cell of the

Speaker:

00:45:11,125 --> 00:45:12,958

Rob

body to try and elicit some change.

Speaker:

00:45:14,666 --> 00:45:15,916

Rob

I'd love it if you

Speaker:

00:45:15,916 --> 00:45:18,833

Rob

could expand on a few areas.

Speaker:

00:45:18,833 --> 00:45:22,083

Rob

And I feel we might as well start with

Speaker:

00:45:22,083 --> 00:45:23,416

Rob

hormones and testosterone.

Speaker:

00:45:25,375 --> 00:45:28,125

Rob

Now, you've elucidated or you've

Speaker:

00:45:28,208 --> 00:45:30,416

Rob

mentioned a lot of the mechanisms there

Speaker:

00:45:30,416 --> 00:45:33,041

Rob

that support the production of, that

Speaker:

00:45:33,041 --> 00:45:33,875

Rob

would support the

Speaker:

00:45:33,875 --> 00:45:36,125

Rob

production of testosterone.

Speaker:

00:45:36,708 --> 00:45:37,791

Rob

So things like upregulated

Speaker:

00:45:37,791 --> 00:45:39,375

Rob

mitochondrial production, etc.

Speaker:

00:45:40,083 --> 00:45:45,000

Rob

But are there any mechanisms or reasons

Speaker:

00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,458

Rob

that red light is effective at helping to

Speaker:

00:45:47,458 --> 00:45:50,375

Rob

optimize sex hormone health that maybe

Speaker:

00:45:50,375 --> 00:45:51,958

Rob

we've not chatted about just yet?

Speaker:

00:45:54,458 --> 00:45:54,916

Bryan Gohl

Not really.

Speaker:

00:45:55,875 --> 00:45:58,625

Bryan Gohl

Because when you break it

Speaker:

00:45:58,625 --> 00:46:01,375

Bryan Gohl

all down, it's all it's doing.

Speaker:

00:46:01,583 --> 00:46:03,333

Bryan Gohl

And this is the important

Speaker:

00:46:03,333 --> 00:46:04,833

Bryan Gohl

concept about red light therapy.

Speaker:

00:46:04,833 --> 00:46:07,333

Bryan Gohl

All it's doing is upregulating, as you

Speaker:

00:46:07,333 --> 00:46:08,083

Bryan Gohl

said, the mitochondrial

Speaker:

00:46:08,083 --> 00:46:10,000

Bryan Gohl

activity and the cellular activity.

Speaker:

00:46:10,833 --> 00:46:13,750

Bryan Gohl

So if it's that cell's job to produce sex

Speaker:

00:46:13,750 --> 00:46:16,250

Bryan Gohl

hormones or that glands jobs to produce

Speaker:

00:46:16,250 --> 00:46:18,500

Bryan Gohl

sex hormones, that's what it will do.

Speaker:

00:46:19,750 --> 00:46:21,333

Bryan Gohl

So whether we're talking about thyroid

Speaker:

00:46:21,333 --> 00:46:24,041

Bryan Gohl

health or testosterone on the testicles,

Speaker:

00:46:25,125 --> 00:46:26,791

Bryan Gohl

or the feel good

Speaker:

00:46:26,791 --> 00:46:28,625

Bryan Gohl

hormones of a bright sunny day,

Speaker:

00:46:29,666 --> 00:46:32,916

Bryan Gohl

they all tend to be improved in whichever

Speaker:

00:46:32,916 --> 00:46:35,291

Bryan Gohl

direction they need to be improved in

Speaker:

00:46:35,291 --> 00:46:39,000

Bryan Gohl

once a more optimal cellular function is

Speaker:

00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,458

Bryan Gohl

restored in the gland.

Speaker:

00:46:42,375 --> 00:46:44,708

Bryan Gohl

So this is, you know, it might be a bit

Speaker:

00:46:44,708 --> 00:46:47,416

Bryan Gohl

of a bummer to say this, but no matter

Speaker:

00:46:47,416 --> 00:46:50,333

Bryan Gohl

what benefit someone asks me like, Oh,

Speaker:

00:46:50,333 --> 00:46:51,750

Bryan Gohl

what about pain in my knee?

Speaker:

00:46:51,750 --> 00:46:52,083

Bryan Gohl

Will it work?

Speaker:

00:46:52,416 --> 00:46:52,625

Bryan Gohl

Yes.

Speaker:

00:46:52,750 --> 00:46:52,958

Bryan Gohl

Yeah.

Speaker:

00:46:53,541 --> 00:46:55,125

Bryan Gohl

You know, what about my sleep?

Speaker:

00:46:55,125 --> 00:46:56,125

Bryan Gohl

Will it be good for my sleep?

Speaker:

00:46:56,125 --> 00:46:56,333

Bryan Gohl

Yep.

Speaker:

00:46:56,500 --> 00:46:56,708

Bryan Gohl

Yep.

Speaker:

00:46:56,708 --> 00:46:57,125

Bryan Gohl

It'll be good.

Speaker:

00:46:57,125 --> 00:46:59,250

Bryan Gohl

And the reason is, it always comes back

Speaker:

00:46:59,250 --> 00:47:01,416

Bryan Gohl

to this cellular optimization,

Speaker:

00:47:02,125 --> 00:47:02,541

Bryan Gohl

mitochondrial

Speaker:

00:47:02,541 --> 00:47:04,958

Bryan Gohl

optimization, and less inflammation.

Speaker:

00:47:05,875 --> 00:47:08,666

Bryan Gohl

Because as you know, if something, if a

Speaker:

00:47:08,666 --> 00:47:11,000

Bryan Gohl

tissue is inflamed or a body's inflamed,

Speaker:

00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:12,583

Bryan Gohl

it cannot do its job properly.

Speaker:

00:47:14,416 --> 00:47:16,583

Bryan Gohl

Processes and systems start to shut down

Speaker:

00:47:16,583 --> 00:47:17,291

Bryan Gohl

or they start to

Speaker:

00:47:17,291 --> 00:47:19,375

Bryan Gohl

struggle to do their job.

Speaker:

00:47:19,375 --> 00:47:21,041

Bryan Gohl

So health just gets worse and worse.

Speaker:

00:47:21,375 --> 00:47:23,041

Bryan Gohl

But once you start to remove the

Speaker:

00:47:23,041 --> 00:47:25,375

Bryan Gohl

inflammation and you know, on the one

Speaker:

00:47:25,375 --> 00:47:26,625

Bryan Gohl

side, and then on the other side, you

Speaker:

00:47:26,625 --> 00:47:29,083

Bryan Gohl

increase the cellular energy, regardless

Speaker:

00:47:29,083 --> 00:47:30,666

Bryan Gohl

of what the tissue is, it

Speaker:

00:47:30,666 --> 00:47:31,916

Bryan Gohl

starts to function better.

Speaker:

00:47:32,416 --> 00:47:34,458

Bryan Gohl

And it starts to, you know,

Speaker:

00:47:34,458 --> 00:47:35,583

Bryan Gohl

do what it's supposed to do.

Speaker:

00:47:35,583 --> 00:47:36,833

Bryan Gohl

And it's funny, you bring up the

Speaker:

00:47:36,833 --> 00:47:38,625

Bryan Gohl

testosterone thing, because I've

Speaker:

00:47:38,625 --> 00:47:39,416

Bryan Gohl

obviously been hearing

Speaker:

00:47:39,416 --> 00:47:40,791

Bryan Gohl

about it for years and years.

Speaker:

00:47:41,416 --> 00:47:44,208

Bryan Gohl

And I finally started decided to, you

Speaker:

00:47:44,208 --> 00:47:46,291

Bryan Gohl

know, properly take a deep dive on it.

Speaker:

00:47:46,291 --> 00:47:47,125

Bryan Gohl

I've been researching it

Speaker:

00:47:47,125 --> 00:47:48,125

Bryan Gohl

for the last few weeks.

Speaker:

00:47:49,416 --> 00:47:52,541

Bryan Gohl

And trying it on myself, because I, you

Speaker:

00:47:52,541 --> 00:47:55,416

Bryan Gohl

know, the problem with my job is that I'm

Speaker:

00:47:55,416 --> 00:47:57,125

Bryan Gohl

constantly testing new products, because

Speaker:

00:47:57,125 --> 00:47:58,958

Bryan Gohl

I have an idea, we make a new product,

Speaker:

00:47:58,958 --> 00:48:00,083

Bryan Gohl

and then I'll test it for a while.

Speaker:

00:48:00,833 --> 00:48:01,708

Bryan Gohl

So I've always got all these

Speaker:

00:48:01,708 --> 00:48:03,375

Bryan Gohl

confounding things going on.

Speaker:

00:48:03,375 --> 00:48:04,583

Bryan Gohl

So it's impossible for me

Speaker:

00:48:04,583 --> 00:48:07,208

Bryan Gohl

to be the N1 for anything.

Speaker:

00:48:07,208 --> 00:48:08,916

Bryan Gohl

But I've decided to commit to

Speaker:

00:48:08,916 --> 00:48:11,666

Bryan Gohl

testosterone, I'm shining red light only,

Speaker:

00:48:11,666 --> 00:48:12,458

Bryan Gohl

specifically on my

Speaker:

00:48:12,458 --> 00:48:14,541

Bryan Gohl

testicles, every morning.

Speaker:

00:48:15,916 --> 00:48:18,291

Bryan Gohl

And then doing, you know, a couple of

Speaker:

00:48:18,291 --> 00:48:19,916

Bryan Gohl

achy joints from sports.

Speaker:

00:48:19,916 --> 00:48:22,208

Bryan Gohl

And then in about three or four weeks,

Speaker:

00:48:22,208 --> 00:48:25,375

Bryan Gohl

I'll test my testosterone again, and see

Speaker:

00:48:25,375 --> 00:48:26,708

Bryan Gohl

if it's made a difference.

Speaker:

00:48:26,708 --> 00:48:28,541

Bryan Gohl

It's subjectively made a difference.

Speaker:

00:48:29,416 --> 00:48:29,625

Bryan Gohl

Absolutely.

Speaker:

00:48:29,791 --> 00:48:32,000

Bryan Gohl

I feel, you know, different.

Speaker:

00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:33,541

Bryan Gohl

I feel very, very different since I've

Speaker:

00:48:33,541 --> 00:48:35,166

Bryan Gohl

started shining on my testicles.

Speaker:

00:48:35,166 --> 00:48:37,125

Bryan Gohl

But it would be nice to see it reflected

Speaker:

00:48:37,125 --> 00:48:38,333

Bryan Gohl

in the test score as well.

Speaker:

00:48:39,125 --> 00:48:40,083

Rob

Yeah, I'm sure it will.

Speaker:

00:48:40,791 --> 00:48:42,375

Rob

I mean, I've definitely got a few

Speaker:

00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:45,708

Rob

hypotheses as to why it's improving

Speaker:

00:48:45,708 --> 00:48:47,416

Rob

testosterone production.

Speaker:

00:48:48,208 --> 00:48:49,458

Rob

Specifically, just obviously,

Speaker:

00:48:50,666 --> 00:48:52,083

Rob

as you said, the mitochondria

Speaker:

00:48:52,083 --> 00:48:53,083

Rob

is going to fuel everything.

Speaker:

00:48:53,833 --> 00:48:56,250

Rob

But within the testicles themselves, you

Speaker:

00:48:56,250 --> 00:48:58,291

Rob

obviously have latic cells that are

Speaker:

00:48:58,291 --> 00:49:00,208

Rob

responsible for producing testosterone.

Speaker:

00:49:01,041 --> 00:49:03,000

Rob

And again, these cells rely specifically,

Speaker:

00:49:03,458 --> 00:49:06,750

Rob

as do every cell in the body, for

Speaker:

00:49:06,750 --> 00:49:09,000

Rob

converting cholesterol, which is the

Speaker:

00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,500

Rob

backbone of pregnenolone, which is the

Speaker:

00:49:11,500 --> 00:49:14,416

Rob

master neurosteroid, into testosterone.

Speaker:

00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,541

Rob

So by applying red and near infrared

Speaker:

00:49:17,541 --> 00:49:20,166

Rob

light to the skeletal skin, you can again

Speaker:

00:49:20,166 --> 00:49:22,541

Rob

activate that cytochrome seoxidase, which

Speaker:

00:49:22,541 --> 00:49:25,208

Rob

then is going to near infrared light, or

Speaker:

00:49:25,208 --> 00:49:26,625

Rob

not, excuse me, just the

Speaker:

00:49:27,166 --> 00:49:29,416

Bryan Gohl

that's important because so there's

Speaker:

00:49:29,416 --> 00:49:30,791

Bryan Gohl

there's there's actually very limited

Speaker:

00:49:30,791 --> 00:49:34,083

Bryan Gohl

studies on humans and even on animals.

Speaker:

00:49:35,166 --> 00:49:37,250

Bryan Gohl

But whenever they've tried near infrared

Speaker:

00:49:37,250 --> 00:49:39,500

Bryan Gohl

light, they've had negative results.

Speaker:

00:49:39,791 --> 00:49:40,166

Bryan Gohl

Oh, have they?

Speaker:

00:49:40,500 --> 00:49:40,666

Bryan Gohl

Okay.

Speaker:

00:49:40,958 --> 00:49:43,916

Bryan Gohl

Yeah, it's very important because this is

Speaker:

00:49:43,916 --> 00:49:45,541

Bryan Gohl

this is one reason why I didn't tell

Speaker:

00:49:45,541 --> 00:49:46,708

Bryan Gohl

anybody to do it for years.

Speaker:

00:49:47,208 --> 00:49:48,916

Bryan Gohl

Even though Ben Greenfield was doing it,

Speaker:

00:49:49,166 --> 00:49:50,541

Bryan Gohl

he never specified what he did.

Speaker:

00:49:51,083 --> 00:49:53,291

Bryan Gohl

Paul Saledino did it and claimed an

Speaker:

00:49:53,291 --> 00:49:54,291

Bryan Gohl

increase in testosterone

Speaker:

00:49:54,291 --> 00:49:55,875

Bryan Gohl

never specified what he did.

Speaker:

00:49:56,625 --> 00:49:58,750

Bryan Gohl

And, you know, years ago, I read that

Speaker:

00:49:58,750 --> 00:50:00,208

Bryan Gohl

near infrared light was bad for

Speaker:

00:50:00,208 --> 00:50:02,500

Bryan Gohl

testicles, but there was extremely

Speaker:

00:50:02,500 --> 00:50:03,750

Bryan Gohl

limited information and

Speaker:

00:50:03,750 --> 00:50:05,000

Bryan Gohl

it's still extremely limited.

Speaker:

00:50:05,333 --> 00:50:07,750

Bryan Gohl

But all the evidence so far shows that

Speaker:

00:50:07,750 --> 00:50:10,625

Bryan Gohl

red light is good for testicles, for the

Speaker:

00:50:10,625 --> 00:50:12,208

Bryan Gohl

latic cells and the and they all the

Speaker:

00:50:12,208 --> 00:50:14,500

Bryan Gohl

little sperm manufacturing cells, but

Speaker:

00:50:14,500 --> 00:50:16,083

Bryan Gohl

near infrared light is not.

Speaker:

00:50:16,500 --> 00:50:17,333

Bryan Gohl

So I always like to

Speaker:

00:50:17,333 --> 00:50:18,750

Bryan Gohl

stress red light only.

Speaker:

00:50:19,625 --> 00:50:20,791

Rob

Yeah, I suppose that makes sense.

Speaker:

00:50:20,791 --> 00:50:22,541

Rob

Because I suppose near infrared light is

Speaker:

00:50:22,541 --> 00:50:23,333

Rob

going to heat up

Speaker:

00:50:23,333 --> 00:50:25,291

Rob

scrotal skin, potentially.

Speaker:

00:50:25,666 --> 00:50:28,958

Rob

And then, as well, as we know, you the

Speaker:

00:50:28,958 --> 00:50:32,000

Rob

testes are on the outside of male

Speaker:

00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:33,583

Rob

physiology because they need to be cool.

Speaker:

00:50:33,958 --> 00:50:35,708

Rob

So yeah, that's that's definitely

Speaker:

00:50:35,708 --> 00:50:37,125

Rob

something that I've

Speaker:

00:50:37,125 --> 00:50:37,791

Rob

been thinking of before.

Speaker:

00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:39,291

Rob

So thank you for that.

Speaker:

00:50:41,375 --> 00:50:43,750

Rob

Do you think that they have that that

Speaker:

00:50:43,750 --> 00:50:46,000

Rob

woman can benefit from the same sex

Speaker:

00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,958

Rob

hormone optimization that men can from

Speaker:

00:50:48,958 --> 00:50:50,833

Rob

utilizing this sort of therapy?

Speaker:

00:50:51,750 --> 00:50:54,041

Bryan Gohl

Yes, there's a lot of great studies about

Speaker:

00:50:54,041 --> 00:50:57,208

Bryan Gohl

female fertility and falling pregnant

Speaker:

00:50:57,416 --> 00:50:58,666

Bryan Gohl

with red light therapy.

Speaker:

00:50:59,291 --> 00:51:00,875

Bryan Gohl

There was there was a study a few weeks

Speaker:

00:51:00,875 --> 00:51:02,583

Bryan Gohl

ago that was trending that came out of

Speaker:

00:51:02,583 --> 00:51:06,333

Bryan Gohl

Japan where they gave women, you know,

Speaker:

00:51:06,833 --> 00:51:07,791

Bryan Gohl

what was the phrase?

Speaker:

00:51:09,916 --> 00:51:11,125

Bryan Gohl

chronically infertile

Speaker:

00:51:12,500 --> 00:51:14,166

Bryan Gohl

women that had been struggling to have

Speaker:

00:51:14,166 --> 00:51:16,125

Bryan Gohl

babies for nine years and

Speaker:

00:51:16,125 --> 00:51:17,708

Bryan Gohl

not not falling pregnant.

Speaker:

00:51:17,708 --> 00:51:19,000

Bryan Gohl

And they did a short treatment of red

Speaker:

00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:21,541

Bryan Gohl

light therapy, and a huge percentage of

Speaker:

00:51:21,541 --> 00:51:23,208

Bryan Gohl

them fell pregnant for the first time.

Speaker:

00:51:23,958 --> 00:51:25,750

Bryan Gohl

So it does it works

Speaker:

00:51:25,750 --> 00:51:27,083

Bryan Gohl

fantastically well for women.

Speaker:

00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:29,000

Bryan Gohl

There's a lot of there's a lot of things

Speaker:

00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:30,583

Bryan Gohl

you can do, you know, you can shine it

Speaker:

00:51:30,583 --> 00:51:33,375

Bryan Gohl

over the reproductive organs of the woman

Speaker:

00:51:33,375 --> 00:51:34,541

Bryan Gohl

around the belly and around

Speaker:

00:51:34,541 --> 00:51:35,666

Bryan Gohl

the private parts as well.

Speaker:

00:51:36,083 --> 00:51:38,000

Bryan Gohl

But in the study in Japan, they actually

Speaker:

00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:40,916

Bryan Gohl

shone the light on the sides of the neck,

Speaker:

00:51:41,291 --> 00:51:42,958

Bryan Gohl

which they didn't explain

Speaker:

00:51:42,958 --> 00:51:44,500

Bryan Gohl

why they decided to do that.

Speaker:

00:51:45,083 --> 00:51:46,125

Bryan Gohl

Some people have said it's

Speaker:

00:51:46,125 --> 00:51:47,500

Bryan Gohl

because of the vagus nerve.

Speaker:

00:51:47,916 --> 00:51:48,708

Bryan Gohl

So they've helped,

Speaker:

00:51:48,708 --> 00:51:50,083

Bryan Gohl

you know, calm the body.

Speaker:

00:51:50,500 --> 00:51:51,541

Bryan Gohl

And that's allowed the

Speaker:

00:51:51,541 --> 00:51:52,541

Bryan Gohl

body to fall pregnant.

Speaker:

00:51:53,125 --> 00:51:55,291

Bryan Gohl

Other people say it was an increase of

Speaker:

00:51:55,291 --> 00:51:57,791

Bryan Gohl

blood flow going to and from the head,

Speaker:

00:51:58,208 --> 00:51:59,541

Bryan Gohl

which helped, you know,

Speaker:

00:51:59,541 --> 00:52:00,625

Bryan Gohl

the ladies fall pregnant.

Speaker:

00:52:01,708 --> 00:52:04,500

Bryan Gohl

So that's an example of, you know, how

Speaker:

00:52:04,500 --> 00:52:05,875

Bryan Gohl

women can support their

Speaker:

00:52:05,875 --> 00:52:07,250

Bryan Gohl

fertility hormones, at least.

Speaker:

00:52:07,458 --> 00:52:09,458

Bryan Gohl

And then for both the sexes, it's huge

Speaker:

00:52:09,458 --> 00:52:12,250

Bryan Gohl

for the feel good hormones, mood,

Speaker:

00:52:12,500 --> 00:52:13,791

Bryan Gohl

depression, motivation,

Speaker:

00:52:14,541 --> 00:52:15,750

Bryan Gohl

energy, things like that.

Speaker:

00:52:17,500 --> 00:52:21,458

Bryan Gohl

But it's actually not 100% clear why, or

Speaker:

00:52:21,458 --> 00:52:22,750

Bryan Gohl

what's happening, you know, there's the

Speaker:

00:52:22,750 --> 00:52:25,875

Bryan Gohl

hypothesis about, you know, bright light

Speaker:

00:52:25,875 --> 00:52:28,458

Bryan Gohl

treatment to the face is really good for

Speaker:

00:52:28,458 --> 00:52:29,333

Bryan Gohl

mood enhancement,

Speaker:

00:52:29,666 --> 00:52:30,833

Bryan Gohl

which, you know, does work.

Speaker:

00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:34,000

Bryan Gohl

Bright light treatment to the chest has

Speaker:

00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:34,875

Bryan Gohl

been shown to be really

Speaker:

00:52:34,875 --> 00:52:35,791

Bryan Gohl

good for testosterone.

Speaker:

00:52:36,791 --> 00:52:39,000

Bryan Gohl

Red light therapy is bright enough to be

Speaker:

00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:40,000

Bryan Gohl

considered bright light.

Speaker:

00:52:41,166 --> 00:52:43,708

Bryan Gohl

And the infrared light is, you know,

Speaker:

00:52:43,708 --> 00:52:45,750

Bryan Gohl

penetrates deep enough to optimize

Speaker:

00:52:45,750 --> 00:52:46,875

Bryan Gohl

hormonal production.

Speaker:

00:52:47,083 --> 00:52:48,875

Bryan Gohl

So there's, there's definitely a few

Speaker:

00:52:48,875 --> 00:52:50,791

Bryan Gohl

little hypotheses going on.

Speaker:

00:52:51,291 --> 00:52:52,666

Bryan Gohl

But one thing we do know is it

Speaker:

00:52:52,666 --> 00:52:55,041

Bryan Gohl

consistently has been shown to help with,

Speaker:

00:52:55,041 --> 00:52:56,666

Bryan Gohl

you know, all sorts of hormones,

Speaker:

00:52:57,333 --> 00:52:58,458

Bryan Gohl

production, fertility,

Speaker:

00:52:58,708 --> 00:53:01,666

Bryan Gohl

thyroid, you know, mood, testosterone.

Speaker:

00:53:02,833 --> 00:53:04,916

Rob

Yeah, again, it's, if I was just to sort

Speaker:

00:53:04,916 --> 00:53:06,500

Rob

of speculate, I would say that it's

Speaker:

00:53:06,500 --> 00:53:07,708

Rob

probably got to do with a

Speaker:

00:53:07,708 --> 00:53:09,041

Rob

lot of thyroid function too.

Speaker:

00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:11,458

Rob

Because the moment you're in any sort of

Speaker:

00:53:11,458 --> 00:53:13,041

Rob

hyperthyroid state, you're going to have

Speaker:

00:53:13,041 --> 00:53:15,916

Rob

a very down regulated

Speaker:

00:53:17,875 --> 00:53:19,833

Rob

ability to, to, well,

Speaker:

00:53:19,833 --> 00:53:21,250

Rob

regulate sex hormones at all.

Speaker:

00:53:22,250 --> 00:53:24,750

Rob

And you're going to have an inability for

Speaker:

00:53:24,750 --> 00:53:28,583

Rob

your mitochondria to produce, to produce

Speaker:

00:53:28,583 --> 00:53:29,458

Rob

these hormones, which is

Speaker:

00:53:29,458 --> 00:53:31,583

Rob

where they are, again, produced.

Speaker:

00:53:32,208 --> 00:53:38,166

Rob

So yeah, I would, yeah, really put my, my

Speaker:

00:53:38,166 --> 00:53:39,333

Rob

money on improved

Speaker:

00:53:39,333 --> 00:53:40,750

Rob

thyroid function to where I,

Speaker:

00:53:41,833 --> 00:53:44,250

Rob

excuse me, put my money on improved

Speaker:

00:53:44,250 --> 00:53:45,791

Rob

thyroid function, sort of

Speaker:

00:53:45,791 --> 00:53:46,833

Rob

driving a lot of these changes.

Speaker:

00:53:46,916 --> 00:53:48,125

Rob

Obviously the red light and

Speaker:

00:53:48,125 --> 00:53:49,208

Rob

improving thyroid function.

Speaker:

00:53:51,916 --> 00:53:55,166

Rob

Brian, we've gotten through a lot today,

Speaker:

00:53:55,166 --> 00:53:56,708

Rob

but I'd sort of really love it if we

Speaker:

00:53:56,708 --> 00:53:58,500

Rob

could maybe also discuss some of the

Speaker:

00:53:58,500 --> 00:54:01,416

Rob

adjunctive therapies that you find really

Speaker:

00:54:01,416 --> 00:54:03,291

Rob

benefit red light therapy.

Speaker:

00:54:04,041 --> 00:54:05,625

Rob

I know there are a bunch out there, a lot

Speaker:

00:54:05,625 --> 00:54:09,291

Rob

of these so-called biohacks, but with you

Speaker:

00:54:09,291 --> 00:54:10,666

Rob

being the expert, I'd love to get your

Speaker:

00:54:10,666 --> 00:54:14,125

Rob

take on what you think is really sort of

Speaker:

00:54:14,125 --> 00:54:15,125

Rob

a good pairing when it

Speaker:

00:54:15,125 --> 00:54:16,458

Rob

comes to red light therapy.

Speaker:

00:54:17,208 --> 00:54:19,708

Rob

Obviously the natural stuff is always

Speaker:

00:54:19,708 --> 00:54:21,125

Rob

going to be, is always going to be great.

Speaker:

00:54:21,416 --> 00:54:24,458

Rob

But yeah, just from a sort of gizmos and

Speaker:

00:54:24,458 --> 00:54:26,125

Rob

gadgets standpoint, what have you found

Speaker:

00:54:26,125 --> 00:54:29,750

Rob

to be a decent, what have you found to be

Speaker:

00:54:29,750 --> 00:54:30,541

Rob

decent combinations?

Speaker:

00:54:32,750 --> 00:54:36,125

Bryan Gohl

I'm actually of the opposite mindset and

Speaker:

00:54:36,125 --> 00:54:39,958

Bryan Gohl

I, at this stage, I think it's better to

Speaker:

00:54:39,958 --> 00:54:44,541

Bryan Gohl

keep things isolated because we try, it's

Speaker:

00:54:44,541 --> 00:54:46,708

Bryan Gohl

natural for people like ourselves to try

Speaker:

00:54:46,708 --> 00:54:48,708

Bryan Gohl

and optimize as much as we can, as quick

Speaker:

00:54:48,708 --> 00:54:51,250

Bryan Gohl

as we can, and I don't

Speaker:

00:54:51,250 --> 00:54:52,583

Bryan Gohl

think that's the best way to go.

Speaker:

00:54:53,500 --> 00:54:55,625

Bryan Gohl

So I know there's a lot of people out

Speaker:

00:54:55,625 --> 00:54:57,833

Bryan Gohl

there that are talking about either

Speaker:

00:54:57,833 --> 00:55:01,750

Bryan Gohl

copper peptides for skin or green tea

Speaker:

00:55:01,750 --> 00:55:04,750

Bryan Gohl

serums for skin and red light therapy.

Speaker:

00:55:04,750 --> 00:55:06,833

Bryan Gohl

So either doing the red light therapy,

Speaker:

00:55:06,833 --> 00:55:08,333

Bryan Gohl

then putting the special cream on

Speaker:

00:55:08,333 --> 00:55:10,083

Bryan Gohl

afterwards or the special peptides on

Speaker:

00:55:10,083 --> 00:55:11,833

Bryan Gohl

afterwards and getting better results.

Speaker:

00:55:13,041 --> 00:55:14,166

Bryan Gohl

All I know about that

Speaker:

00:55:14,166 --> 00:55:15,125

Bryan Gohl

is that it's trending.

Speaker:

00:55:16,500 --> 00:55:19,583

Bryan Gohl

So I need to do a deep dive on it.

Speaker:

00:55:20,041 --> 00:55:21,500

Bryan Gohl

It's just another thing that I need to

Speaker:

00:55:21,500 --> 00:55:23,041

Bryan Gohl

thoroughly look into the science.

Speaker:

00:55:24,250 --> 00:55:26,625

Bryan Gohl

What I'm fearful of is that once I look

Speaker:

00:55:26,625 --> 00:55:28,791

Bryan Gohl

into the science, I'll see, oh, it's the

Speaker:

00:55:28,791 --> 00:55:31,458

Bryan Gohl

copper peptide manufacturer that's

Speaker:

00:55:31,458 --> 00:55:33,041

Bryan Gohl

studied, that's that promote, you know,

Speaker:

00:55:33,041 --> 00:55:35,500

Bryan Gohl

that funded the study to find out how

Speaker:

00:55:35,500 --> 00:55:37,041

Bryan Gohl

good copper peptides were.

Speaker:

00:55:37,750 --> 00:55:39,375

Bryan Gohl

I might be wrong, you know,

Speaker:

00:55:39,375 --> 00:55:40,500

Bryan Gohl

it'd be great if I'm wrong.

Speaker:

00:55:40,500 --> 00:55:42,541

Bryan Gohl

Obviously, I'm looking to learn and to

Speaker:

00:55:42,541 --> 00:55:45,458

Bryan Gohl

make sure that I'm up to date, but that's

Speaker:

00:55:45,458 --> 00:55:46,500

Bryan Gohl

something I still need

Speaker:

00:55:46,500 --> 00:55:47,791

Bryan Gohl

to do a deep dive on.

Speaker:

00:55:47,791 --> 00:55:50,000

Bryan Gohl

I know it's trending, copper peptides and

Speaker:

00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:52,166

Bryan Gohl

green tea serums and red light therapy.

Speaker:

00:55:52,916 --> 00:55:55,625

Bryan Gohl

It makes sense why it's supposed to work,

Speaker:

00:55:56,458 --> 00:55:57,875

Bryan Gohl

but I need to look into the science

Speaker:

00:55:57,875 --> 00:55:59,583

Bryan Gohl

because everybody's quoting the same

Speaker:

00:55:59,583 --> 00:56:01,291

Bryan Gohl

scientific resource.

Speaker:

00:56:01,416 --> 00:56:02,916

Bryan Gohl

So that makes me think like, oh, there's

Speaker:

00:56:02,916 --> 00:56:05,000

Bryan Gohl

only one and it was released by the

Speaker:

00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:05,916

Bryan Gohl

manufacturer who's

Speaker:

00:56:05,916 --> 00:56:07,000

Bryan Gohl

making the actual product.

Speaker:

00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:10,666

Bryan Gohl

And then the other things, so methylene

Speaker:

00:56:10,666 --> 00:56:12,375

Bryan Gohl

blue is trending now as well.

Speaker:

00:56:13,083 --> 00:56:15,000

Bryan Gohl

I'm yet to do a deep dive on it.

Speaker:

00:56:15,208 --> 00:56:17,125

Bryan Gohl

I know, you know,

Speaker:

00:56:18,458 --> 00:56:20,458

Bryan Gohl

camp A says methylene blue is the best

Speaker:

00:56:20,458 --> 00:56:21,208

Bryan Gohl

thing under the sun.

Speaker:

00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:23,750

Bryan Gohl

Camp B says you shouldn't do methylene

Speaker:

00:56:23,750 --> 00:56:24,541

Bryan Gohl

blue at all because

Speaker:

00:56:24,541 --> 00:56:26,000

Bryan Gohl

it's a nasty chemical.

Speaker:

00:56:27,041 --> 00:56:28,083

Bryan Gohl

It's something that I still

Speaker:

00:56:28,083 --> 00:56:30,666

Bryan Gohl

have to dive into and find out.

Speaker:

00:56:32,250 --> 00:56:35,291

Bryan Gohl

You know, I know red light therapy works

Speaker:

00:56:35,291 --> 00:56:37,708

Bryan Gohl

because, you know, I've been messing

Speaker:

00:56:37,708 --> 00:56:39,250

Bryan Gohl

around with it for 10 years now.

Speaker:

00:56:39,250 --> 00:56:41,250

Bryan Gohl

And I've got hundreds of thousands of

Speaker:

00:56:41,250 --> 00:56:43,125

Bryan Gohl

clients that know it works as well.

Speaker:

00:56:43,875 --> 00:56:45,708

Bryan Gohl

So I'm just always cautious to say like,

Speaker:

00:56:46,041 --> 00:56:46,625

Bryan Gohl

oh, but you've got to

Speaker:

00:56:46,625 --> 00:56:47,583

Bryan Gohl

go buy the cream now.

Speaker:

00:56:47,583 --> 00:56:49,083

Bryan Gohl

Just make sure you get the cream or make

Speaker:

00:56:49,083 --> 00:56:50,958

Bryan Gohl

sure you get this other thing to make it

Speaker:

00:56:50,958 --> 00:56:53,000

Bryan Gohl

work because it's what's it been doing

Speaker:

00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:53,958

Bryan Gohl

for the last 10 years.

Speaker:

00:56:54,666 --> 00:56:56,166

Bryan Gohl

But I am open to

Speaker:

00:56:56,166 --> 00:56:57,083

Bryan Gohl

learning new information.

Speaker:

00:56:58,125 --> 00:56:59,833

Bryan Gohl

Now, as far as combining it with other

Speaker:

00:56:59,833 --> 00:57:03,666

Bryan Gohl

bio hacks like sauna and ice bath or, you

Speaker:

00:57:03,666 --> 00:57:06,250

Bryan Gohl

know, fasting, things like that, I tell

Speaker:

00:57:06,250 --> 00:57:09,291

Bryan Gohl

in my own life and I tell my clients, I

Speaker:

00:57:09,291 --> 00:57:10,916

Bryan Gohl

think it's better to keep those separate

Speaker:

00:57:10,916 --> 00:57:12,541

Bryan Gohl

because each of them

Speaker:

00:57:12,541 --> 00:57:14,291

Bryan Gohl

are a hormetic stressor.

Speaker:

00:57:14,750 --> 00:57:19,291

Bryan Gohl

They cause a specific cascade of hormones

Speaker:

00:57:19,291 --> 00:57:21,666

Bryan Gohl

in the body and different proteins and

Speaker:

00:57:21,666 --> 00:57:22,500

Bryan Gohl

enzymes or whatever.

Speaker:

00:57:23,333 --> 00:57:25,500

Bryan Gohl

And if you do too many at once, or even

Speaker:

00:57:25,500 --> 00:57:27,666

Bryan Gohl

if you just do two of them at once, you

Speaker:

00:57:27,666 --> 00:57:30,000

Bryan Gohl

might be forcing your body to

Speaker:

00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:31,500

Bryan Gohl

prioritize one over the other.

Speaker:

00:57:32,166 --> 00:57:33,625

Bryan Gohl

So if you do your ice bath and

Speaker:

00:57:33,625 --> 00:57:35,500

Bryan Gohl

immediately jump in front of a red light,

Speaker:

00:57:36,083 --> 00:57:38,333

Bryan Gohl

which one is going to be doing the work?

Speaker:

00:57:38,333 --> 00:57:39,000

Bryan Gohl

Which one is your

Speaker:

00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:40,208

Bryan Gohl

body going to respond to?

Speaker:

00:57:40,541 --> 00:57:42,625

Bryan Gohl

Because the benefits of the ice bath last

Speaker:

00:57:42,625 --> 00:57:44,125

Bryan Gohl

for hours and hours afterwards.

Speaker:

00:57:44,666 --> 00:57:46,500

Bryan Gohl

The benefits of red light therapy last

Speaker:

00:57:46,500 --> 00:57:48,000

Bryan Gohl

for hours and hours afterwards.

Speaker:

00:57:48,708 --> 00:57:52,250

Bryan Gohl

And it's my understanding at this stage

Speaker:

00:57:52,250 --> 00:57:54,916

Bryan Gohl

that if you do too much at once, your

Speaker:

00:57:54,916 --> 00:57:57,166

Bryan Gohl

body has to prioritize and it has to

Speaker:

00:57:57,166 --> 00:57:58,791

Bryan Gohl

focus on one thing while all

Speaker:

00:57:58,791 --> 00:58:00,375

Bryan Gohl

the others is forgotten about.

Speaker:

00:58:00,375 --> 00:58:01,750

Bryan Gohl

You know, it's that a classic

Speaker:

00:58:01,750 --> 00:58:03,083

Bryan Gohl

illustration is going to

Speaker:

00:58:03,083 --> 00:58:04,000

Bryan Gohl

sleep on a full stomach.

Speaker:

00:58:04,583 --> 00:58:06,000

Bryan Gohl

You're going to have a terrible sleep

Speaker:

00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:08,791

Bryan Gohl

because for your body to sleep well, it

Speaker:

00:58:08,791 --> 00:58:10,208

Bryan Gohl

needs to have an empty it

Speaker:

00:58:10,208 --> 00:58:11,791

Bryan Gohl

needs to be doing nothing else.

Speaker:

00:58:12,125 --> 00:58:14,458

Bryan Gohl

So that the sleep hormones and all the

Speaker:

00:58:14,458 --> 00:58:15,958

Bryan Gohl

processes that are supposed to happen

Speaker:

00:58:15,958 --> 00:58:17,000

Bryan Gohl

during sleep can happen.

Speaker:

00:58:17,541 --> 00:58:19,625

Bryan Gohl

But if you go and have a big meal and

Speaker:

00:58:19,625 --> 00:58:21,500

Bryan Gohl

then jump into bed, your body's like,

Speaker:

00:58:21,500 --> 00:58:23,375

Bryan Gohl

well, I can't sleep until

Speaker:

00:58:23,375 --> 00:58:24,541

Bryan Gohl

I've digested all this food.

Speaker:

00:58:25,041 --> 00:58:26,791

Bryan Gohl

So we've got to digest for a few hours.

Speaker:

00:58:27,208 --> 00:58:28,916

Bryan Gohl

And by that time, you try and then get

Speaker:

00:58:28,916 --> 00:58:30,625

Bryan Gohl

your deep sleep and your REM sleep, but

Speaker:

00:58:30,625 --> 00:58:31,750

Bryan Gohl

half the night is gone.

Speaker:

00:58:32,375 --> 00:58:33,833

Bryan Gohl

And I think it's similar for all the

Speaker:

00:58:33,833 --> 00:58:35,708

Bryan Gohl

other, you know, at least the physical

Speaker:

00:58:35,708 --> 00:58:37,750

Bryan Gohl

hacks that that I know of so far.

Speaker:

00:58:38,375 --> 00:58:39,208

Rob

Yeah, I'd agree with

Speaker:

00:58:39,208 --> 00:58:39,916

Rob

that at a high level.

Speaker:

00:58:40,583 --> 00:58:41,875

Rob

I definitely think that

Speaker:

00:58:41,875 --> 00:58:43,500

Rob

people are in a bell shaped curve.

Speaker:

00:58:43,916 --> 00:58:44,875

Rob

So you're going to have

Speaker:

00:58:44,875 --> 00:58:46,166

Rob

outliers in either extreme.

Speaker:

00:58:46,416 --> 00:58:49,333

Rob

I mean, I know if I eat too far away from

Speaker:

00:58:49,333 --> 00:58:51,000

Rob

bed and if I go to bed, even slightly

Speaker:

00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:53,916

Rob

hungry, I cannot sleep.

Speaker:

00:58:53,916 --> 00:58:55,291

Rob

I get a surge in catecholines, my

Speaker:

00:58:55,291 --> 00:58:57,166

Rob

cortisol goes up, no adrenaline goes up,

Speaker:

00:58:57,166 --> 00:58:58,250

Rob

and that's me, I'm done.

Speaker:

00:58:58,708 --> 00:59:00,833

Rob

I need to have a certain amount of food,

Speaker:

00:59:00,833 --> 00:59:03,583

Rob

whether it's just sort of protein, fat,

Speaker:

00:59:03,833 --> 00:59:05,791

Rob

carbohydrate, whatever, just to help sort

Speaker:

00:59:05,791 --> 00:59:08,500

Rob

of satiate that those high

Speaker:

00:59:08,500 --> 00:59:10,916

Rob

levels of catecholamines.

Speaker:

00:59:12,333 --> 00:59:13,250

Rob

I think the thing about

Speaker:

00:59:13,250 --> 00:59:14,666

Rob

methylene blue is interesting.

Speaker:

00:59:15,708 --> 00:59:18,250

Rob

Again, yeah, it's going to be an electron

Speaker:

00:59:18,250 --> 00:59:20,333

Rob

donor specifically, which is going to

Speaker:

00:59:20,333 --> 00:59:22,000

Rob

help with that mitochondrial spin.

Speaker:

00:59:22,541 --> 00:59:24,416

Rob

So then if you pair it with red light,

Speaker:

00:59:24,416 --> 00:59:27,833

Rob

you're going to have increased ATP

Speaker:

00:59:27,833 --> 00:59:31,000

Rob

turnover, which can be a detrimental

Speaker:

00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:34,666

Rob

detriment as well, especially if somebody

Speaker:

00:59:34,666 --> 00:59:39,333

Rob

has existing high levels of inflammation.

Speaker:

00:59:39,583 --> 00:59:42,750

Rob

Because as you know, the process of

Speaker:

00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:46,416

Rob

creating energy, oxidative

Speaker:

00:59:46,416 --> 00:59:48,791

Rob

phosphorylation, creates a certain amount

Speaker:

00:59:48,791 --> 00:59:51,000

Rob

of reactive oxygen species, which can

Speaker:

00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:55,083

Rob

cause excessive oxidative stress.

Speaker:

00:59:55,583 --> 01:00:00,000

Rob

So in someone who is already in a state

Speaker:

01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,083

Rob

of poor mitochondrial health, these

Speaker:

01:00:02,083 --> 01:00:05,041

Rob

products can be beneficial.

Speaker:

01:00:05,583 --> 01:00:07,875

Rob

But when you sort of aren't necessarily

Speaker:

01:00:07,875 --> 01:00:11,500

Rob

unhealthy, and you just start pairing

Speaker:

01:00:11,500 --> 01:00:15,625

Rob

these and stacking these modalities, you

Speaker:

01:00:15,625 --> 01:00:17,000

Rob

can end up doing yourself

Speaker:

01:00:17,250 --> 01:00:18,833

Rob

a fair amount of damage.

Speaker:

01:00:18,833 --> 01:00:19,958

Rob

And I know that's something that Paul

Speaker:

01:00:19,958 --> 01:00:22,375

Rob

Saladinas talked about recently.

Speaker:

01:00:23,708 --> 01:00:26,958

Rob

And I think people are naturally inclined

Speaker:

01:00:26,958 --> 01:00:28,708

Rob

to sort of want to crank things up to 11,

Speaker:

01:00:29,541 --> 01:00:31,083

Rob

and they sort of really believe in the

Speaker:

01:00:31,083 --> 01:00:36,083

Rob

idea that if 1 plus 1 is great, then 1

Speaker:

01:00:36,083 --> 01:00:38,541

Rob

plus 1 plus 1 must be even better.

Speaker:

01:00:38,541 --> 01:00:40,583

Rob

But the body doesn't work like that.

Speaker:

01:00:40,583 --> 01:00:43,500

Rob

Ultimately, you can push it to the point

Speaker:

01:00:43,500 --> 01:00:45,291

Rob

where you start to

Speaker:

01:00:45,291 --> 01:00:47,625

Rob

create more damage than not.

Speaker:

01:00:48,500 --> 01:00:49,875

Rob

And there is really too much.

Speaker:

01:00:50,500 --> 01:00:52,208

Rob

There can be too much of a good thing.

Speaker:

01:00:53,583 --> 01:00:56,291

Rob

So yeah, I think those are sage words and

Speaker:

01:00:56,291 --> 01:00:57,708

Rob

things that the audience should

Speaker:

01:00:57,708 --> 01:01:02,791

Rob

definitely listen to and sort

Speaker:

01:01:02,791 --> 01:01:04,333

Rob

of apply to their own lives.

Speaker:

01:01:04,333 --> 01:01:07,416

Rob

Because there really is a point in which

Speaker:

01:01:07,416 --> 01:01:09,833

Rob

you can overdo all of these things.

Speaker:

01:01:09,833 --> 01:01:11,250

Rob

I mean, the same thing

Speaker:

01:01:11,250 --> 01:01:12,625

Rob

applies to diet and fasting.

Speaker:

01:01:12,916 --> 01:01:14,833

Rob

Fasting is great, too much fasting is

Speaker:

01:01:14,833 --> 01:01:17,291

Rob

also detriment and can create all sorts

Speaker:

01:01:17,291 --> 01:01:20,541

Rob

of hormonal dysfunction.

Speaker:

01:01:21,916 --> 01:01:23,291

Rob

I know this has been a lot of information

Speaker:

01:01:23,291 --> 01:01:24,458

Rob

for the listeners, Brian.

Speaker:

01:01:24,500 --> 01:01:27,708

Rob

So I'd love it if we could just maybe put

Speaker:

01:01:27,708 --> 01:01:28,666

Rob

it all together in a

Speaker:

01:01:28,666 --> 01:01:30,125

Rob

sort of a TLDR of sorts.

Speaker:

01:01:30,750 --> 01:01:33,500

Rob

If someone is new to red light therapy

Speaker:

01:01:33,541 --> 01:01:35,541

Rob

and just wants a 101, as it were,

Speaker:

01:01:36,750 --> 01:01:38,208

Rob

what would your advice be?

Speaker:

01:01:38,208 --> 01:01:41,000

Rob

I mean, apart from getting a red light

Speaker:

01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:42,500

Rob

therapy panel from you guys?

Speaker:

01:01:44,166 --> 01:01:47,625

Bryan Gohl

I mean, if they wanted a 101, if they

Speaker:

01:01:47,625 --> 01:01:50,750

Bryan Gohl

wanted like quick hit information,

Speaker:

01:01:51,875 --> 01:01:53,916

Bryan Gohl

my ex account is the place to go.

Speaker:

01:01:54,875 --> 01:01:56,791

Bryan Gohl

Because today, I'm actually later on

Speaker:

01:01:56,791 --> 01:01:58,041

Bryan Gohl

today, I don't know when this podcast

Speaker:

01:01:58,041 --> 01:01:59,583

Bryan Gohl

will come out, but later on today, I'm

Speaker:

01:01:59,583 --> 01:02:04,416

Bryan Gohl

publishing the top 15 FAQs I've been

Speaker:

01:02:04,416 --> 01:02:05,916

Bryan Gohl

asked for the last 10 years.

Speaker:

01:02:06,750 --> 01:02:08,916

Bryan Gohl

So if someone's brand new to red light

Speaker:

01:02:08,916 --> 01:02:10,958

Bryan Gohl

therapy, you read that post and you're

Speaker:

01:02:10,958 --> 01:02:13,958

Bryan Gohl

going to be ahead of 99% of people when

Speaker:

01:02:13,958 --> 01:02:14,500

Bryan Gohl

it comes to

Speaker:

01:02:14,500 --> 01:02:15,750

Bryan Gohl

understanding red light therapy.

Speaker:

01:02:16,250 --> 01:02:18,291

Bryan Gohl

And then all my other posts are about

Speaker:

01:02:18,291 --> 01:02:19,333

Bryan Gohl

slightly different

Speaker:

01:02:19,333 --> 01:02:21,083

Bryan Gohl

aspects of red light therapy.

Speaker:

01:02:21,500 --> 01:02:24,166

Bryan Gohl

So my intention with my ex account,

Speaker:

01:02:24,791 --> 01:02:27,708

Bryan Gohl

similar to Instagram, we've kind of lost

Speaker:

01:02:27,708 --> 01:02:28,916

Bryan Gohl

focus on Instagram a little

Speaker:

01:02:28,916 --> 01:02:31,375

Bryan Gohl

bit and focus on more on ex now.

Speaker:

01:02:31,916 --> 01:02:34,416

Bryan Gohl

But it's basically my intention is that

Speaker:

01:02:34,416 --> 01:02:36,000

Bryan Gohl

it's a place where you can go and sit for

Speaker:

01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:39,166

Bryan Gohl

half an hour, scroll through my page, and

Speaker:

01:02:39,166 --> 01:02:42,541

Bryan Gohl

just you read 10 posts and you're going

Speaker:

01:02:42,541 --> 01:02:44,375

Bryan Gohl

to have more information than you would

Speaker:

01:02:44,375 --> 01:02:46,500

Bryan Gohl

get from, you know, let's say five hours

Speaker:

01:02:46,500 --> 01:02:47,541

Bryan Gohl

watching YouTube videos.

Speaker:

01:02:49,083 --> 01:02:50,875

Bryan Gohl

That's if someone's interested in

Speaker:

01:02:50,875 --> 01:02:51,750

Bryan Gohl

educating themselves,

Speaker:

01:02:51,750 --> 01:02:53,250

Bryan Gohl

that's a great place to start.

Speaker:

01:02:53,791 --> 01:02:55,375

Bryan Gohl

Another good place would just be our

Speaker:

01:02:55,375 --> 01:02:57,791

Bryan Gohl

website redlightrising.com.

Speaker:

01:02:58,375 --> 01:03:00,625

Bryan Gohl

And in the bottom corner, right hand

Speaker:

01:03:00,625 --> 01:03:02,083

Bryan Gohl

corner of the screen, there's a WhatsApp

Speaker:

01:03:02,083 --> 01:03:04,375

Bryan Gohl

button, you just hit that button, send

Speaker:

01:03:04,375 --> 01:03:06,625

Bryan Gohl

your questions in and questions in and

Speaker:

01:03:06,625 --> 01:03:08,625

Bryan Gohl

myself or someone from the team will

Speaker:

01:03:08,625 --> 01:03:10,083

Bryan Gohl

answer all the questions there.

Speaker:

01:03:11,833 --> 01:03:13,458

Bryan Gohl

And then that's, you know, if from an

Speaker:

01:03:13,458 --> 01:03:14,500

Bryan Gohl

information standpoint,

Speaker:

01:03:14,500 --> 01:03:15,500

Bryan Gohl

that's all you're going to need.

Speaker:

01:03:15,500 --> 01:03:16,708

Bryan Gohl

Of course, you can go and

Speaker:

01:03:16,708 --> 01:03:17,916

Bryan Gohl

look on YouTube and all that.

Speaker:

01:03:18,458 --> 01:03:20,166

Bryan Gohl

But it's all the same

Speaker:

01:03:20,166 --> 01:03:21,166

Bryan Gohl

information to be honest.

Speaker:

01:03:22,083 --> 01:03:22,750

Rob

Yeah, it is.

Speaker:

01:03:23,375 --> 01:03:24,875

Rob

Thank you very much for that.

Speaker:

01:03:24,875 --> 01:03:26,500

Rob

I mean, you've already answered my last

Speaker:

01:03:26,500 --> 01:03:27,291

Rob

question now, which is

Speaker:

01:03:27,291 --> 01:03:29,375

Rob

where people can find you.

Speaker:

01:03:29,750 --> 01:03:32,000

Rob

I assume redlightrising.co.uk.

Speaker:

01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:32,416

Rob

Is that right?

Speaker:

01:03:33,333 --> 01:03:34,625

Bryan Gohl

That will work.

Speaker:

01:03:34,833 --> 01:03:36,000

Bryan Gohl

But we've recently changed

Speaker:

01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:37,750

Bryan Gohl

it to redlightrising.com.

Speaker:

01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:38,208

Bryan Gohl

Perfect.

Speaker:

01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:39,875

Bryan Gohl

So they can do that.

Speaker:

01:03:39,875 --> 01:03:42,958

Bryan Gohl

And then my Twitter is or X is actually

Speaker:

01:03:42,958 --> 01:03:44,125

Bryan Gohl

just my name, Brian

Speaker:

01:03:44,125 --> 01:03:47,458

Bryan Gohl

Gull, B-R-Y-A-N-G-O-H-L.

Speaker:

01:03:48,500 --> 01:03:48,666

Rob

Perfect.
