Ever see that futuristic crown of light I wear on my head in Instagram posts and think… “Bro, what is that thing?”

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on one of my favorite tools for brain optimization, nervous system balance, and total-body vitality.

This episode is a deep (but fun) dive into photobiomodulation therapy, how red and near-infrared light affect the body, and why I stack it with brainwave frequency tuning and chiropractic care to maximize healing and performance.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE BREAK DOWN:

• What exactly is photobiomodulation (PBM)?
• How the Vielight Duo 4 uses near-infrared light to stimulate the brain
• The limbic system, default mode network, and how light reaches them through the nasal cavity
• The science behind the 810nm wavelength and why it penetrates deeper than other light
• How brainwaves work and why Vielight uses Alpha and Gamma frequencies
• The connection between the vagus nerve, spinal alignment, and chiropractic care
• How I use light and breathwork in my personal meditation stack
• Pro athlete recovery stories from the NFL and MMA using Vielight
• How blue light affects your body—and my tips for minimizing exposure
• Why I use EMR-Tek red light panels daily for full-body regeneration

LIGHT SPECTRUM CRASH COURSE:

• Red Light: 620–750nm → surface-level healing (skin, blood flow, mitochondria)
• Near-Infrared Light: 750–1200nm → deeper healing (joints, muscle, brain, bone)
• Vielight Wavelength: 810nm → optimal penetration for brain tissue and cellular ATP

BRAINWAVE FREQUENCY PRIMER:

• High Beta (20–30 Hz): stress, hyper-focus
• Low Beta (12–20 Hz): thinking, alertness
• Alpha (8–12 Hz): calm, clarity, meditation
• Theta (4–8 Hz): creativity, dreams, intuition
• Delta (0.5–4 Hz): deep sleep, cellular repair
• Gamma (30–100 Hz): peak performance, cognition, memory
