In this conversation, Dr. Cronshaw presents what he calls his "philosophy of care" for using photobiomodulation to enhance healing,...

info_outlineThis episode is part two of my in-depth discussion with Dr. Praveen Arany, a world-renowned light therapy (photobiomodulation) researcher and expert who’s been working in the field for over two decades.
If you missed part one, I highly recommend you go back and listen to that episode. We delve into some very deep and specific science around light therapy that will prepare you for everything you hear in part two.
In this episode, we get into the minutiae of light therapy dosing and also talk about a few others topics like systemic vs local effects.
Similarly to part one, this is not well-suited for beginners! If you’re really interested in the topic of light therapy/photobiomodulation, you’ll appreciate this discussion. But if you’re looking for a high-level overview, this is not for you.
If you’re ready to learn more, listen in for a truly comprehensive and research-based take on light therapy dosing.
