36. Mike Belkowski: Non-Native Lights, Malillumination + Why Modern Health Needs Red Light Therapy

Published: March 26, 2021, 8 a.m.

Are you malilluminated? What does that even mean? Well, you know what it means when someone is malnourished. It\u2019s the same, but being malnourished with the light you\u2019re intaking. Malillumination is not getting the correct light and bombarding yourself with non-native lights and that\u2019s exactly what I chat about with my latest HYDRATE guest, Mike Belkowski. \xa0 Mike argues that when you surrounding yourself with blue light, Bluetooth, wifi, laptop, T.V., and your cell phone, it\u2019s just as bad as eating Mcdonald's. In today\u2019s modern world, we are constantly exposed to non-native lighting, and getting in the correct natural lighting daily is a struggle.\xa0 \xa0 The two of us discuss how we can begin to increase our intake of correct lighting to ensure we\u2019re getting a healthy dose daily for optimal health. We also discuss what non-native lights are, what they\u2019re doing to your health, how to increase our sun tolerance, and supplementing our sun exposure with red light therapy.\xa0 \xa0 Mike is the\xa0founder of BioLightandis, bringing game-changing technology to red light therapy around the world. As a physical therapist, he has worked with patients across the lifespan spectrum and has an impressive amount of experience with Integrative Dry Needling, Mulligan mobilizations, cupping, and rehabilitating orthopedic pathologies, running biomechanics, and concussion injuries. \xa0 \xa0 What we discuss:\xa0 \xa0 09:50:What is the difference\xa0between red and near-infrared? 10:31: Why is it so important to get full-spectrum sunlight? 11:30:The key about water on a cellular level 13:35: What are the mitochondria and why is it so important? 22:06:What amount of sun exposure can we tolerate and what does that tell\xa0us about our health? 25:33:When should we have red light therapy? 32:29:How red light therapy optimize your health 34:37:How to choose\xa0between red light or near-infrared therapy 36:51: What about infrared\xa0saunas? 41:04: How does Tracy practice being present 45:34:Helping our children be more grounded 51:37:Why is there so much focus\xa0on the red spectrum? 54:04:Redlight therapy: why more is not better 56:37:Howto use Mike's devices \xa0 Find more from Mike\u2026\xa0 \xa0 Instagram:@_proactive.health_ Website:proactivehealthmt.com \xa0 \xa0 Related Links/Products Mentioned: \xa0 Pre-order Tracy's new book: Hydrate with Tracy Duhs
