About this episode

Dr. Praveen Arany discusses the science of photobiomodulation and its potential as a healing modality.

That's the question at the heart of this conversation with Dr. Praveen Arany, one of the world's leading researchers in photobiomodulation. Dr. Arany started as a dentist looking for ways to help patients heal faster after oral surgery. A paper about light-accelerated wound healing caught his attention. He was skeptical. He's spent the 27 years since proving it works. He now holds six patents, has published over 150 peer-reviewed papers with more than 11,000 citations, and his lab at the University at Buffalo discovered one of the core mechanisms by which therapeutic light stimulates wound healing — a light-sensitive amino acid in the growth factor TGF-beta. In this episode, we talk about how light interacts with the body at the cellular level, the three established mechanisms of photobiomodulation, why there's a meaningful distinction between light as a supplement and light as a clinical intervention, and…
