Not all red light therapy is what it seems. You can spend hundreds, or even thousands, of dollars on a red light panel and still have no idea whether the wavelengths, power output, dosing, or…
Ryan Mitchell BrownHostSo I guess that so to answer your question in terms of that's sort of the tradeoff, it's you don't just want to say, hey, we know there's maybe something in all the spectrum of light.
So just make it a totally white, fully broadband thing, because then you're not getting enough of these peaks.
So it's how do you strike the balance between getting the peaks that really matter while getting enough of those peaks?
It's one thing that I don't think a lot of people really take into account when they're like looking at devices online.
That's sort of a question I wanted to ask to you as well, because I mean, there's so much, I mean, there's so many, I'm just using red light panels as an example, because I think a lot more people know what those are and I've seen them around because they're very popular right now.
And they're all over pretty much every like health site you could find as well as just Amazon all over.
And I guess the question I would ask you, I mean, obviously you have your own skin in the game and I would definitely like pitch your product to the end of the time because it's really high quality.
But it's like when someone's looking at buying a device and like obviously it's one of those things where it's like i don't want people to skimp on something just because they see something that's like like really cheap on amazon how do you get what what are points that people should be looking for when they're shopping around for maybe a red light therapy device as an example to keep it sort of concise um what are markers that people should be looking for i'd
say the biggest thing is people need to understand what are they doing with the device why do they want the device so I didn't get into it until I had a specific injury.
And then I was looking at what are all the different ways and all the different things I can do for this and what might help.
So these bands, and this is a really common injury, just from putting really high stress, it can rupture and it can pop out.
And so I looked at, you know, how can I heal? I looked at nitroglycerin patches, eccentric training, and then that's sort of where I learned about red light therapy.
And I looked at all these devices that people are familiar with, these large panels.
I looked at, you know, how much power do they deliver in one spot where I really want the power? And it turned out the power wasn't that high.
And then if you looked at, say, something that's like, hey, it's a laser, the total power wasn't that high.
