How Red Light Powers Your Mitochondria & Why LEDs Harm Your Health | Dr. Glen Jeffery

<p>In this episode, my guest is Dr. Glen Jeffery, PhD, a professor of neuroscience at University College London's Institute of Ophthalmology and a leading expert on how light interacts with mitochondria to shape health and aging. </p><p></p><p>Today, he discusses how red and near-infrared light penetrate deep into the body and improve mitochondrial function and overall health. We also discuss how detrimental modern indoor life has become and why expensive red light panels are likely unnecessary and possibly harmful.</p><p></p><p>By the end, you'll understand sunlight as a biological input your body evolved to depend on and the low-cost, practical steps you can take to get more of it.</p><p><br />FULL SHOW NOTES HERE: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://l1nk.dev/bjuu235" target="_blank">https://l1nk.dev/bjuu235</a><br /> </p><p><b>Sponsor: Shadowmap  </b></p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://app.shadowmap.org/?ref=jonathan&amp;discount=JONATHANJ" target="_blank">https://app.shadowmap.org/?ref=jonathan&amp;discount=JONATHANJ</a> </p><p>Code: JONATHANJ   </p><p></p><p><b>Sponsor: Ra Optics</b></p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.raoptics.com/JONATHANJ" target="_blank">https://www.raoptics.com/JONATHANJ</a> </p><p>Code: JONATHANJ <br /></p><p>About this guest:</p><p></p><ul><li><b>Academic Profile: </b><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://profiles.ucl.ac.uk/7465" target="_blank">https://profiles.ucl.ac.uk/7465</a> </li><li><b>Google Scholar</b>: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=UYlObKkAAAAJ&amp;hl=en" target="_blank">https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=UYlObKkAAAAJ&amp;hl=en</a> </li><li><b>LinkedIn</b>:<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/MaxGulhaneMD" target="_blank"> </a><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/glen-jeffery-441a2b1b/" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/glen-jeffery-441a2b1b/</a> <br /></li></ul><p>Timestamps:</p><p>00:16 Intro</p><p>02:46 Dr. Glen Jeffery</p><p>03:14 Love for Science, Undergraduate</p><p>04:24 Tiina Karu, Photobiomodulation Origins, Mechanisms </p><p>06:14 Mechanisms, Cytochrome C Oxydase, Nanowater, Electron Flow</p><p>10:56 Cytochrome C Oxydase, Extra-Pineal Melatonin, Oxidative Stress</p><p>12:45 Gerald Pollack, Exclusion Zone (EZ) Water</p><p>13:45 Red/IR Light Passes Through the Human Body; Optics</p><p>18:09 Red Light On Fr
