LETS Keep It Light!
LETS Keep it light podcast with Dr. Ginger Bowler focuses on what she calls "above the line living." As co-founder of LETS (Light and Energy Training Seminars), she and her colleagues like to discuss all those things that help us live a happier healthier life, naturally. Many of the episodes focus on Red, InfraRed, Blue and Green Light therapy or photobiomodulation while the others focus on "understanding energy" / understanding that we are energy beings with a physical body and not just a physical body with a soul or spirit. Interested in helping humanity 'lighten up" these episodes are fun and engaging even when dealing with sometimes serious topics.
Ginger's doctorate is in Energy Medicine and Spiritual Healing. She is the author of "Listening and Communicating with Energy," Hanna Kroeger Natural Healer and the LETS Light Therapy certification curriculum.
Her guest speakers will all be experts in their area of understanding energy and what we can do to "keep it light."

Red Light Therapy Devices Aren’t All Equal: What Actually Matters | Part 1
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Not all red light therapy devices are created equal. In Part 1 of this conversation, Dr. Ginger Bowler sits down with David Malone, a light-therapy device designer and manufacturer with 40 years of industry experience, to explain what actually matters in photobiomodulation—and what may be little more than marketing.
David traces the evolution of light therapy from early helium-neon lasers and veterinary applications to modern LED pads and panels. He explains red and near-infrared wavelengths, pulsing, treatment distance, skin contact, light penetration, overlapping LED coverage, FDA clearance, UL testing, and the engineering hidden inside a device.
In this episode:
• Red light versus near-infrared light
• What wavelength numbers actually mean
• The origins of pulsed light therapy
• Lasers versus LEDs
• Skin-contact pads versus stand-alone panels
• Why distance from the skin matters
• True wavelengths versus colored plastic lenses
• FDA 510(k) clearance and device testing
• The danger of copying a device without understanding its engineering
• The half-cent component that prevented a serious device failure
