Photobiomodulation
Did you know that the brain has the capacity to regenerate nerves and reorganize connections?
Photobiomodulation is used to revitalize the brain’s energy, helping with memory, mood, and more.
Photobiomodulation utilizes near-infrared light to penetrate the scalp and provide the brain with revitalizing energy. Rejuvenation takes place at the mitochondrial level, often referred to as the powerhouse of our cells that processes large quantities of an essential chemical energy, adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Research demonstrates the energy boost from PBM has helped people with dementia, head injuries, Parkinson’s, and other cognitive processing disorders. The method simply involves identifying the correct frequency then applying the light therapy for about 20 minutes a day. You don’t have to believe in it for it to work.

Additionally, PBM anti-inflammatory properties are beneficial for enhancing neuroplasticity. Research demonstrates the energy boost from PBM as helped people with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, brain fog, long-COVID, TBI / head injuries, peripheral nerve regeneration, neuropathic pain, and other cognitive conditions. The process simply involves identifying the correct frequency then applying the light therapy by way of a helmet for about 20 minutes, often daily.
Light therapy comes in many packages with competitive pricing, but not always predictable results. The trends are hard to keep up with, so I like to stick with products that demonstrate solid research.
Like most neuro-tech interventions, results from PBM are subtle. Most people will report a sense of
brain brightening, noticing an increase in mood, word finding, attention, and general awareness. Using 40 hertz PBM has become a popular tool for mindfulness and deepening meditation practice. In general, I like using PBM prior to neurofeedback sessions to increase the benefits of brain training. Stimulate and reorganize to optimize!
