Ready to cut through the noise on red light therapy?
This BEST OF episode brings back one of the most comprehensive, myth-busting conversations ever aired on IWP. Here I sit down with Andrew LaTour, founder of GembaRed, and one of the most research-driven voices in the light therapy space.

We dive deep into the real science behind red and near-infrared light, how it impacts the body, and what most companies (and influencers) get wrong. Whether you're just getting started or looking to refine your practice, this conversation is your go-to resource.

Some of What We Cover:

  • The basics of red light therapy (photo biomodulation)
  • Red vs. near-infrared vs. far-infrared
  • Cellular & mitochondrial health benefits
  • How to dose correctly
  • EMFs, flicker, and other overlooked risks
  • Using RLT for pain, inflammation, skin health, wound healing & more
  • Contraindications (tattoos, implants, cancer, medications)
  • Are red light bulbs and heat lamps effective?
  • Industry honesty & informed consent concerns
  • What to actually look for in a quality device
