Before you spend money on a red light therapy device — any device — listen to this episode.

In this episode of the Red Light Therapy Podcast, Mike Volkin and longevity specialist Dr. Alan Inman cut through the noise in a market flooded with imitations, misleading specs, and marketing buzzwords. Dr. Inman explains what actually separates a therapeutic device from a red flashlight, what "medical grade" means legally versus what brands use it to mean, and why the goal was never maximum power

Learn what NASA's actual contribution to red light therapy research was and why the 40% improvement in musculoskeletal injuries figure comes from, why the Arndt-Schulz law means overdoing your sessions can actually reduce results, what makes a therapeutic-grade device genuinely different from a retail red bulb at the wavelength and photon-delivery level, what FDA Class II device registration requires and why Platinum's BioMax line carries it, and whether one panel or a full body system produces meaningfully different outcomes.

What if the low energy, the flat mood, and the creeping anxiety that show up every winter aren't just in your head — they're in your cells?

In this episode of the Red Light Therapy Podcast, Mike Volkin and longevity specialist Dr. Alan Inman tackle seasonal mood dips head-on, explaining how red and near-infrared light therapy supports the biological systems that take the biggest hit when sunlight disappears.

Learn the biological mechanisms behind why shorter days tank your mood and what red light does about each of them, how mitochondrial energy production connects to emotional resilience and stress tolerance, what the parasympathetic nervous system shift from red light exposure feels like and why it matters for anxiety, whether serotonin is directly influenced by photobiomodulation or if the effect is indirect, and how to structure sessions across morning and evening for maximum mood benefit.

You already know red light therapy is good for your skin, your muscles, and your joints. What most people haven't heard yet is what it does for your brain.

In this episode of the Red Light Therapy Podcast, Mike Volkin and longevity specialist Dr. Alan Inman open up the conversation on cognitive health — covering brain fog, focus, long-term memory, concussion recovery, and the brain's own waste removal system in a single episode. Whether you're a knowledge worker trying to stay sharp through long days, an athlete with a history of head injuries, or just someone who wants to keep their mind performing at its best as they age, this episode covers the science in plain terms.

Learn how near-infrared light reaches superficial brain tissue through the skull to improve cellular energy and circulation, why brain fog and midday crashes are often signs of mitochondrial fatigue rather than just tiredness, how transcranial photobiomodulation compares to caffeine as a focus and alertness tool, whether red light therapy is appropriate for athletes recovering from concussions, and why placing your panel at forehead and temple height maximizes cognitive benefits per session.
