Very interesting podcast.
I am interested in red light therapy, but I don´t know what device to buy. Would it be possible to help me with that?
Thank you.
Very interesting podcast.
Dr. Marker I’d love to hear more about your experience and thought on the red light exposure discussed in the show. I looked at the very slick Joov website and it sounds great but. . . it almost seems too good to be true. And the placebo effect is a powerful thing

Thank you very much Mr. Marker (and Mr. Lakatos)
I appreciate your interview style so much.
