Joe Cohen posted a great interview on his site with Dr. Michael Hamblin who is an expert on light therapy.
Joe did a great job summarizing the interview on his site. You can check that out here.
The interview covers a lot of ground over the mechanisms and uses for red, near, and far-infrared light therapy. Some things covered that might be new to Ray Peat followers:

The interview covers a lot of ground over the mechanisms and uses for red, near, and far-infrared light therapy. Some things covered that might be new to Ray Peat followers:
- Intra-nasal red light is an effective way to give systemic benefits through light contact with blood platelets. A 5mw 660nm laser pen is appropriate for this application
- 850nm panel on your forehead is an effective way to reduce brain inflammation and often results in improved sleep quality
- Infrared on your thyroid is good for autoimmune thyroiditis
- Infrared on testes improves fertility in animal models
- And lots of other interesting bits of information on red-light history and application I have never heard before.
