In this episode of Innovators of Health, Dr. Ashley Spooner unpacks the foundations of dental sleep medicine—why sleep is a vital sign, how to spot risk beyond weight and snoring, and where oral appliance therapy fits as a patient-friendly alternative to CPAP. She shares practical protocols and lifestyle tactics that improve sleep quality, plus how photobiomodulation (red/NIR light) can support airway tissues, reduce inflammation, and extend results from clinic to home. The discussion focuses on awareness, measurable outcomes, and step-by-step adoption for clinicians.

Takeaways

• 😴 Sleep = vital sign: Poor sleep drives systemic risk; screen beyond BMI and snoring.
• 🦷 Appliances that patients use: Oral appliance therapy can be an effective CPAP alternative for many.
• 🔦 Adjunct tech: Laser and photobiomodulation may support airway function, healing, and sleep quality.
• 🏠 Clinic → home: Simple at-home PBM routines can extend treatment gains and adherence.
• 🧠 Educate & empower: Raise sleep-disorder awareness and set clear expectations for therapy.
• 🥗 Lifestyle levers: Caffeine timing, late-night eating, and habits meaningfully impact sleep.
• 📊 Measure what matters: Track sleep patterns to personalize care and refine protocols.

In this episode of Innovators of Health, Dr. Mark Lewis explains why the future of regenerative care starts at the mitochondria—and how photobiomodulation (red/NIR light) fits into evidence-guided protocols that improve recovery, reduce pain, and extend care from clinic to home. He breaks down wavelength/dose fundamentals (with patient-friendly analogies), shares outcomes from integrating RedVive into treatment packages, and outlines the mindset shift clinicians need to adopt energy-based therapies ethically, effectively, and at scale.

Key Takeaways (with emojis)

• 🔴 Energy-first healing: PBM boosts mitochondrial ATP—better inputs, better recovery.
• 🧪 Science, not hype: Class II device, studied wavelengths + dosing you can standardize.
• 🧠 Mindset shift: Evaluate new tech with protocols and metrics—not marketing.
• 🧰 Stack & scale: Pair PBM with regenerative/rehab plans for additive outcomes.
• 🏠 Clinic → home: Simple at-home routines extend benefits and adherence.
• 🗣️ Teach simply: Clear analogies turn complex cellular concepts into “I get it.”
• 🙋 Walk the walk: Clinician self-use builds credibility and patient trust.
• 🎯 Set expectations: Outcomes vary—dose, timing, and consistency matter.

In this Part 2 follow-up to our last conversation with Dr. Goldberg and Dr. Luke Bauserman, Jaydev returns to dig deeper into how photobiomodulation (red/near-infrared light) fits into real family life and modern practice. We connect research to lived experience—post-procedure recovery, TMJ/sleep workflows, and clinic-to-home routines—and compare what’s working, what’s hype, and how to evaluate new tools responsibly. The episode closes with practical playbooks for integrating red light alongside other modalities while keeping care patient-first (not gadget-first).

Takeaways

• 🔁 Sequel with substance: Builds directly on Part 1—more cases, clearer protocols.
• 🔴 PBM in the real world: From dental/TMJ to household routines, what patients actually follow.
• 🧪 Evidence → adoption: Start small, measure outcomes, iterate—keep what works.
• 🧰 Stacked care wins: Pair red light with oral appliances, PT, and recovery workflows.
• 🏠 Clinic → home: Simple dosing at home extends results without extra chair time.
• 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family impact: Safer, non-drug options that support sleep, pain, and daily function.
• 🧭 Hype filter: How to judge new health tech ethically—patient first, protocol second, product last.
• 🚀 What’s next: Where PBM and adjacent innovations are heading in everyday care.
