Red light devices are everywhere right now, in masks, belts, boots, and even toothbrushes. Most of them can’t deliver a dose that does anything. In this episode, Bjørn Ekeberg explains how to tell the difference, the one feature to look for before you buy, and why using more red light can actually cancel out the benefits.
Earlier this year, Scientific American ran a feature where researchers said device companies are giving red light therapy a bad name. One even suggested you just go outside instead.
So is red light therapy overhyped, or are most people just using it wrong?
In this episode, Bjørn Ekeberg, co-founder of Recharge Health and CEO of FlexBeam, joins me in person to break down what photobiomodulation actually does, which wavelengths reach deep into your tissue, why distance from a panel matters more than you think, and the red flags that separate real devices from expensive gadgets.
Red light therapy has exploded in popularity, but a lot of what’s on the market doesn’t deliver what it promises.
In this episode, Bjørn Ekeberg and I separate the science from the hype. Bjørn explains why the dose that reaches your skin matters more than how bright a device looks, and why consistency is what drives results.
You’ll learn:
What photobiomodulation actually does inside your cells and mitochondria
The difference between red and near-infrared light, and which one can penetrate 2 to 3 inches into the body
How much power a typical panel may lose just 10 inches away from your skin
The wavelength ranges that matter most, and what happens beyond them
Why a device with hundreds of LEDs may still be too weak to do anything
The one feature that can help you spot an underpowered device
A study Bjørn shares where ICU patients using red light left intensive care 30% faster
FlexBeam’s published study on mitochondrial efficiency, and what changed in people with chronic fatigue after one month
Why “more is better” is the biggest red light myth
Who should be cautious, including with the thyroid, and when you need eye protection
If you’re curious about red light therapy for energy, pain, recovery, sleep, or gut health, this episode will help you use it the right way and avoid wasting money.
