In this special solosode — and the final episode under The Red Light Report name — Dr. Mike Belkowski closes one chapter and opens another. Before unveiling the podcast’s rebrand, Dr. Mike delves into new research on red light therapy and methylene blue, providing clarity, context, and scientific insight into some of the most exciting developments in mitochondrial health.

Dr. Mike explores four cutting-edge studies, ranging from oral health to thyroid support, firefighter wellness, and dentin regeneration. Along the way, he highlights how photobiomodulation and methylene blue work synergistically to optimize mitochondria, reduce inflammation, improve cognitive function, and support long-term vitality.

Expect both a nostalgic look back and a forward-thinking glimpse of what’s next — including expanded topics, new modalities, and the next phase of this podcast’s mission to cut through misinformation and empower you with mitochondria-focused health strategies.

Key Topics Covered:

Why The Red Light Report is rebranding into a broader podcast
How photodynamic therapy (red light + methylene blue) improves oral health
Red light therapy’s role in managing Hashimoto’s thyroiditis
Transcranial photobiomodulation for firefighter brain health and resilience
The role of NF-κB in mitochondrial function, inflammation, and longevity
Cutting-edge insights into dentin regeneration and dental applications of light therapy

Key Quotes from Dr. Mike:

“Photodynamic therapy—red light plus methylene blue—is a cheaper and potentially more effective way of combating issues in the oral cavity when it comes to plaque and inflammation. It’s truly a winning combination.”
“The combination of photobiomodulation with targeted supplementation significantly outperforms supplementation alone in normalizing thyroid volume, improving thyroid function, reducing medication needs, and enhancing health in women with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.”
“This pilot study suggests that transcranial and intranasal photobiomodulation may serve as a well-tolerated, low-risk, cost-effective approach to boost mental health, cognitive health, and wellness in first responders.”
