If you’re living with nagging joint pain, arthritis, or an injury that just won’t heal, this episode explains why red light therapy deserves a place in your home.
I will walk through how red and infrared light work at the cellular level, what the research shows for specific pain conditions, and how I got back to full strength after tearing his bicep tendon completely off the bone.

Why Nitric Oxide Is Your Most Powerful Anti-Aging Molecule
Red light (around 650 nanometers) reaches skin and muscle, while infrared light (around 850 nanometers) penetrates deep into joints and bones. Both activate cytochrome c oxidase in your mitochondria, jumpstarting ATP production and mitochondrial melatonin, a powerful antioxidant that cleans up damaged mitochondria.
I will also explain the second mechanism: increased nitric oxide, which opens up blood vessels and triggers new ones to form, bringing oxygen and nutrients into poorly supplied tissues like the knees, hips, and shoulders. I will then review the research on osteoarthritis, chronic neck and back pain, tendon injuries, and fibromyalgia.
How To Use Red Light Therapy For Real Results
Consistency and proper dosing are the keys to getting results. I share the wavelengths to look for (630 to 650 nanometers for red, 810 to 850 for infrared), how close to get to a panel, and why 15 to 20 minutes a day, or at least three sessions a week, is the target, with several sessions a day in the first week or two of a fresh injury.
I also cover the best time of day, eye safety, who should check with a doctor first, and why a wearable, pulsed device like the Kineon MOVE+ Pro made the biggest difference in his own joint recovery.
