Takeaways
Light and optics play a crucial role in the human body, with infrared energy being particularly important.
The body is capable of collecting and distributing near-infrared light, which has various biological effects.
Mitochondria have the ability to generate melatonin, and the body's response to stressors involves the production of melatonin and cortisol.
The effects of different wavelengths of light on the body are complex and depend on factors such as skin color and depth of penetration.
There is a need for a balanced approach to light exposure, considering both the benefits and potential risks. Photons play a crucial role in tissue penetration and the effectiveness of photobiomodulation.
Near-infrared light can have significant effects on blood vessels, immune cells, and various physiological processes.
Establishing a minimum baseline of near-infrared exposure is important for overall health and well-being.
Simplifying lighting design and incorporating near-infrared light can provide numerous benefits for individuals and society.

Everyone in the modern world needs to hear this.
-
Brilliant light bulb concept!!!
-
Love Scott Zimmerman’s health oriented perspective with his work to help modern humans’ physiology. Kudos and bon chance!
-
Thanks for adding to my know,edge. I just ordered some incandescent lightbulbs and a small red light panel thats portable .
-
Amazing conversation, thank you guys
-
You should interview dr jack kruse
-
DR Rhonda Patrick is famous on Youtube, on her site, and in the world for gathering research on traditional saunas. She and several others say INFRARED SAUNAS just don't get hot enough to produce the many health benefits researchers in Scandinavia claim. Yet I have not found heat - to - head results of such research. Has no one conducted on the Infrared sauna benefits related to absorption of IR. They may have different benefits. I hope someone will have some answers to this question!
-
The benefit effects not only help directly penitrated, the benefits defuse throughout the organism. The exposure rates at nano meters I am learning.
-
I wish we could buy his light outside the US. Thank for the great episode and questions!
-
How long do you have to spend near the lamp and do you look at it with your eyes or not. Great guest and great interview. Thanks
-
What is the benefit of radient HEAT Ie. Non RED
-
So how long you have to be under near infrared per day
-
Excellent interview - keep it coming. I subscribed.
-
1:15:30 short filament incandescents for NIR are very efficient at 1,000nm and then LED for visible but by eliminating electroics is it closer to analog technology (good for body, healing) vs digital technology (bad for body, but good for killing viruses, bacteria, cancer cells, etc)?
-
Could you please provide those Gao and Jackomov, not sure how's spelled, mentioned by Scott Z?
-
In other talks, Zimmerman has mentioned we have the knowledge and technology to produce indoor lighting that exactly mimics sunlight as it shifts throughout the day. Yet his company doesn't offer such a product. Maybe it's too complicated and expensive for a small company. I hope someone comes out with that kind of lighting soon.
-
Highly interesting. Thanks for sharing. Question: are there studies about the effect of light on genetic expression?
-
Heat comes from the uncoupling protin b function. Thus more mitochondria equals bat brown adipose tissue. More efficient non shivering thermo genesis. Lots of literature about it.
-
Scott: What reflects the infrared in Winter, when green leaves have dried brown and fallen? Thank you.
-
Hi, thanks for sharing. Adrenal fatigue is no joke. Would you mind sending me the link ? Thank you in advance.😊😊😊😅
