Joint stiffness. Autoimmune flares. Chronic low-grade inflammation that no one can quite explain. Red light therapy’s relationship with all of these is more nuanced than most brands will tell you.

In this episode of the Red Light Therapy Podcast, Mike Volkin and longevity specialist Dr. Alan Inman dig into what photobiomodulation actually does to inflammatory signals — and what it doesn’t. Dr. Inman explains the difference between acute inflammation your body needs and the chronic, low-grade kind that quietly drives cardiovascular disease, diabetes, arthritis, and accelerated aging.

Learn why the goal of red light therapy isn’t to turn off inflammation but to help the body resolve it appropriately, whether full body sessions outperform localized treatment for systemic inflammation and when each approach makes more sense, what Dr. Inman has observed in his own clinic versus what the current blood marker studies do and don’t show, and why lifestyle habits — sleep, nutrition, movement — determine how much red light therapy can actually do for someone with chronic inflammation.

The goggles that come with your red light therapy panel aren’t optional.

This episode explains exactly why — and what happens when people skip them.In this episode of the Red Light Therapy Podcast, Mike Volkin and longevity specialist Dr. Alan Inman tackle one of the most commonly asked questions in the red light therapy community: do I really need to wear eye protection? Dr. Inman’s answer is unambiguous — and his explanation of why closing your eyes doesn’t give you the same protection as goggles is one of the most practically important things in this entire series. Light transmits through eyelid skin. The retina still receives photons. Goggles block them.

Learn why the retina’s extreme mitochondrial density makes it both the most responsive and the most vulnerable tissue to high-powered red light exposure, what the correct protocol is for face and eye-area treatments on a powerful panel like the BioMax Pro, why “safe distance” is a misleading oversimplification of what actually determines retinal exposure, what promising early research on vision improvement and macular degeneration shows — and why it still requires caution about unsupervised eye protocols, and how to balance the potential benefits of red light for eye health against the very real need for protective equipment.
