The famous fitness trainer Ben Greenfield uses red light naked every day for 20 minutes. Other famous individuals that swear by red light therapy include Kourtney Kardashian, Kelly Rowland, Emma Stone, and Chrissy Teigen to name a few.
Back in 2018, Olivia Munn told US, “I have my own facial set up, I’ve got the professional-grade products and machines…But one of the best things is the red and blue light mask.”
“It appears to get you to wake up slightly; it’s like a sunrise,” Greenfield tells. “And it’s quite addictive, the feel-good feeling you get after using the product.”
reality T.V. star Kristin Cavallari told US that she keeps away from Botox, but shared that
“I use red light therapy twice a week to prevent lines and wrinkles.”
Greenfield who is 39 years old and a trainer, has become a fervent advocate of red-light therapy an approach that is increasingly sought-after within the realms of sport as well as beauty as well as biohacking. Some people who are converting to red light therapy soak up the warm glowing light for a specific reason.
Red Light Therapy
Therapy using light has existed around for thousands of years. Recently, we have traced the origins of light therapy back in 1967 when Hungarian researchers, and red light therapy, which is scientifically referred to by the scientific name of photobiomodulation or low-level laser (light) therapy is making a comeback over the past two decades. One study states, “After 2 weeks the group treated with Light Therapy showed a significant improvement in sexual satisfaction, about 3 times higher than the group that received placebo”
Michael Hamblin, an investigator in Massachusetts General Hospital and professor at Harvard Medical School, discusses in a research paper on the subject of the therapy that it was restricted to an “SCIENTIFIC WASTELAND,” and is widely regarded as “SNAKE OIL.”
Recent studies have suggested that red-light therapy could improve the quality of skin, addiction pet’s mood and depression, sleep quality as well as muscle recovery. It can also reduce discomfort.
In fact, some studies indicate that light therapy can stimulate mitochondria a.k.a. “the “powerhouse” of cells and boosts levels of the adenosine phosphate, an organic chemical that supplies energy through the body and plays an important part in the process of metabolism.
Self-hacking Yourself Using Biohacking
At Exquisite Depot we are always looking to enhance our brains as well as our bodies. A few studies have shown exposure of the body’s torso and the testes, to light can be able to boost testosterone. Indeed, research regarding studies on the impacts of sunlight on tests are as old as 1939 when researchers exposed different parts of the male body in the presence of UV light. They discovered that testosterone levels rose by 120% when chests of their subjects had been exposed to UV light. They also found that testosterone levels were up 200% when they were exposed to UV light exposure of the female genital areas.
Direct exposure to sunlight directly on the tests is thought to have an even greater impact, increasing testosterone production Leydig cells (the cells that make testosterone) in an average of 200 percent
The idea is that although sunlight can have many positive effects, like the production of vitamin D and better mood, it’s not without risks. Excessive exposure to sunlight, especially to delicate parts like your skin around the delicate ball sac, may result in sunburn, radiation excess inflammation, and even harm. It’s true that you don’t want to be a shrunken, shriveled, dehydrated dick, regardless of how gorgeous the tone.
Red light, however, differs from sunlight. The red light spectrum is comprised of light wavelengths that fall within the range between 600 and 950 nanometers (nm). According to the proponents of red light therapy the red light is able to increase ATP production, boost the energy that cells have and, more specifically, increase the activity of Leydig cells of your testes. These are the cells that control testosterone production.
Optimizing Sex
In the past five years, researchers in light therapy and companies that use red-light therapy have focused their attention on males similar to Greenfield who is the man who is naked using red light therapy every day in his office. “The effect of low-light therapy in relation to sexual wellness is a relatively new area, but I can see the potential for it to improve sexual performance and increase libido based on recent research,” Hamblin says. “It has been proven to boost sperm health and has potential applications for increasing fertility for both males and females.” Studies regarding sexual health applications of red-light therapy is low in men and essentially non-existent for women. A few animal studies suggest that red light therapy could alter LEYDIG CELLS, the body’s sperm-producing cells that reside inside the testicles. A study on humans suggests that red light therapy could boost testosterone levels and increase sexual satisfaction.
Don’t let Fear deter You
Sexual health concerns that range from “low levels of testosterone” and erectile dysfunction are difficult to treat due to the stigma that surrounds them, Goldstein explains. There’s an element of “fear,” the urologist declares. A lot of men feel ashamed and do not visit a urologist. “If they can purchase some drug which claims to help millions of people are willing to try it, and possibly not buy it once more,” Goldstein tells. “Good advertising and marketing will generate a demand for a product, regardless of whether it’s proved to have importance or not.”
Reduced Infertility
One of the main problems for people suffering with Low-T is infertility. A number of studies suggest that the use of red light therapy can improve sperm motility, which is crucial in achieving effective impregnation. Researchers at The University of California, San Diego discovered that the sperm exposed to 630nm of red light enhanced the speed and force of sperm swimming.
Similar research conducted by researchers from Iran discovered an effect after exposing Sperm to a NIR wavelength of 830nm light source. Sperm motility is linked to cell energy. More energized the sperm swims with more energy. This is an essential aspect in male fertility health and the success in enhancing fertility of sperm is a signification for the utilization the red-light therapy as a method to cure male infertility.
Feeling Like a Super Hero
In addition to making use of red light and red light, both Greenfield and Wiles are healthy eaters workout regularly, and use stress management techniques. What kind of routine, or combination of all three, helps both of them “optimize” their sexual life as well as their overall health? It’s not evident.
While the study doesn’t correspond to their claims as of now, Greenfield and Wiles aren’t stopping there. Greenfield and Wiles do not plan on slowing down. “Before I give an event or giving a talk or when I’m seeing an individual patient in a clinic, I’ll be able to go to the bathroom and put that device on and feel like I’m a millionaire,” Wiles says. “I’ve noticed a boost in my general sexual well-being, satisfaction and the ability to perform.” In recent times, Greenfield has been shining the spotlight on one particular reason which is that he is with his partner currently trying to have a baby. “Sometimes when I’m sure I’m planning an evening out with my spouse or we’re likely to have a sex session the night before I’ll wait until night before to perform the treatment, as the immediate effects are more effective, particularly the flow of blood,” Greenfield says. “Erectile quality will be better the moment you start using the treatment.”
