Lou Banas: The Future of Light Therapy: Research and Real-World Applications
Episode 311
Sunday, 12 April, 2026
This week, Tee sits down with Lou Banas, a certified laser therapist and founder of Pain Therapy USA, to explore photobiomodulation (PBM), also known as red light therapy. This non-invasive approach uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to support the body's natural healing processes by reducing inflammation, relieving pain, and promoting tissue repair. Lou shares his journey into this field and explains why proper training and certification are critical as PBM becomes more widely available in both clinical and at-home settings. In the conversation, Lou breaks down the science behind PBM, including how light interacts with the body at a cellular level. He explains the role of mitochondrial function, particularly cytochrome c oxidase, in increasing ATP production, as well as how nitric oxide may improve circulation and reduce inflammation. He also discusses the differences between medical-grade laser devices and consumer LED products, noting how power and precision can influence results across a variety of conditions. Lou also shares clinical observations from over two decades of use, highlighting applications ranging from joint pain and sciatica to brain-related conditions such as traumatic brain injury, PTSD, and dementia. Referencing insights from Richard M. Restak, author of The Brain: The Last Frontier, the episode explores how PBM may play a role in advancing brain health and recovery. As research continues to evolve, this therapy shows growing promise as a tool for both physical healing and neurological support.
