Episode #284: Forrest Smith: The Healing Power of Photobiomodulation + Lasers vs LEDs in Light Therapy

Can light therapy actually make you healthier, stronger, and more resilient? In this episode on the Longevity podcast, I am joined by Forrest Smith, CEO of Kineon, to dive into the science of photobiomodulation - using specific wavelengths of light to trigger healing responses in your body. We discuss "remote photobiomodulation" - the process of treating blood vessels in your neck for just 15 minutes daily to have widespread effects throughout your body, from improving gut health to boosting immunity. We also discuss why traditional LED panels might not be giving you optimal results, how to properly treat knee pain, and a surprising fertility study that had remarkable results. Forrest Smith is the CEO and co-founder at Kineon. He is an entrepreneur, business operator, strategic planner, and leader. From startup COO to Director of Strategic Sourcing for Fortune 500, 14 years of supply chain management in China operations is a cornerstone of Forrest's professional experience.
