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:

Rob
Perfect.
