Using Red Light to Improve Metabolism & the Harmful Effects of LEDs | Dr. Glen Jeffery

Where was the light shown on the body?

Huberman Lab
Using Red Light to Improve Metabolism & the Harmful Effects of LEDs | Dr. Glen Jeffery

It was shown on the back.

And it covered, I forget what the percentage of the body area was.

Huberman Lab
Using Red Light to Improve Metabolism & the Harmful Effects of LEDs | Dr. Glen Jeffery

I did this calculation four or five times because it was ridiculously small.

So we were stimulating a very limited area of the body, but we got a systemic response.

There was no way that the mitochondria in that little patch of skin was having that effect.

Huberman Lab
Using Red Light to Improve Metabolism & the Harmful Effects of LEDs | Dr. Glen Jeffery

But it fits into a wider notion that all these mitochondria

act as a community.

Huberman Lab
Using Red Light to Improve Metabolism & the Harmful Effects of LEDs | Dr. Glen Jeffery

Now, we now know that.

Huberman Lab

That's coming all from different corners.

Huberman Lab

They act, they do things together.

Huberman Lab

It takes them a little time to have a conversation about it, but they act together.

Huberman Lab

And if we're doing something which was over one to two hours, that's long enough for them to hold that conversation.

It's in the publication, but let's go like this.

Huberman Lab
Using Red Light to Improve Metabolism & the Harmful Effects of LEDs | Dr. Glen Jeffery

Okay.

Huberman Lab

We're on common ground here, given that you're from the UK.

Huberman Lab

But we're not unique in finding this.

Huberman Lab

It's just that other people are finding things with red light that are sitting behind different walls.

So John Metrophanes, who did most of his research in Australia, he induces Parkinson's disease in primates, which you can do pretty much overnight with a drug.

And then he was giving red light to different parts
