Revolutionizing Brain Healing: Dr. Theodore Henderson on Infrared Light Therapy - Theodore Henderson

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Avik sits down with Dr. Theodore Henderson, a pioneering figure in the realm of infrared light therapy. Dr. Henderson sheds light on how this innovative therapy is showing remarkable promise in treating conditions like traumatic brain injuries, long COVID, depression, and PTSD. Drawing on over 70 published works and years of research, Dr. Henderson explains how specific wavelengths of infrared light activate the brain’s mitochondria, promoting self-healing and turning on crucial brain growth factors. Tune in to discover how this cutting-edge treatment is transforming the way we approach brain healing and mental health.

About the Guest:
Dr. Theodore Henderson is a leader in the research and clinical application of infrared light therapy for brain health. With a focus on conditions like long COVID, traumatic brain injury, PTSD, and depression, he is at the forefront of this groundbreaking therapy that harnesses the brain’s ability to repair itself. He has over 70 published works in the field and is renowned for his work in neuroplasticity and healing through advanced medical technologies.

Key Takeaways:

  • Infrared light therapy uses specific wavelengths to activate mitochondria in brain cells, promoting energy production and triggering the brain's repair mechanisms.
  • This therapy turns on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a growth factor crucial for neuroplasticity and healing.
  • Current treatments for traumatic brain injury and long COVID are limited; infrared light therapy offers a promising alternative that addresses the root causes, such as inflammation and reactivated viruses.
  • Long COVID is largely due to prolonged brain inflammation, and this therapy has helped patients regain significant physical abilities, such as hiking after suffering from extreme shortness of breath.

One Key Learning for Listeners:
Infrared light therapy is a cutting-edge treatment that taps into the brain's natural healing powers, offering hope for patients suffering from conditions with limited traditional treatment options.
