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, it works at a cellular level, gently supporting the body’s natural healing and recovery processes.

Why this 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 this type of 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.
