Red Light Therapy Benefits: How It Supports Metabolism, Energy & Recovery

Share page:

As part of my commitment to supporting your health beyond the treatment room, I’m pleased to be offering patients at The Hill Practice a complimentary bio-hacking experience at Cloud Twelve, Notting Hill throughout January. One of the standout therapies included in this wellness upgrade is red light therapy, a modality that continues to gain attention for its wide-ranging benefits on cellular health, energy and recovery.

What Is Red Light Therapy?

Red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light that penetrate the skin and are absorbed by the mitochondria — the energy-producing centres of our cells. When mitochondria function optimally, cells are better able to repair, regenerate and perform their roles efficiently.

Rather than stimulating the nervous system, red light therapy works at a cellular level, gently supporting the body’s natural healing and recovery processes.

Why Red Light Therapy Matters for Health & Recovery

Growing scientific interest in red and near-infrared light has been highlighted in discussions by neuroscientist Dr Andrew Huberman and vision scientist Professor Glen Jeffery. In a recent episode of the Huberman Lab Podcast, they explore how targeted red light exposure may support:

  • Improved mitochondrial function, helping cells produce energy more efficiently

  • Enhanced metabolic health, including better glucose regulation

  • Reduced inflammation and oxidative stress

  • Support for tissue repair and recovery

  • Potential benefits for eye health and circadian alignment

A Complement to Your Care at The Hill Practice

Red light therapy is not a replacement for clinical care, but it can be a valuable adjunct to treatment, particularly when the goal is to support recovery, optimise physiological function, and enhance long-term health outcomes.

That’s why, throughout January, patients who book an appointment with me at The Hill Practice will receive a complimentary bio-hacking session at Cloud Twelve, where red light therapy can be enjoyed alongside other restorative modalities in a calm, supportive environment.

A Thoughtful Approach to Wellness

Health is rarely about one single intervention. It’s about layering supportive practices that work together — clinical care, lifestyle, recovery and nervous system regulation. Red light therapy offers a gentle yet scientifically grounded way to support your body at a foundational level.

If you’re attending an appointment this January, I encourage you to take advantage of this added wellness benefit and experience how targeted recovery tools can enhance your overall treatment journey.

Offer available for a limited time.
