In this episode of Innovators of Health, Dr. Steve Derrington traces his path from conventional orthopedics to a patient-first regenerative model. He explains where photobiomodulation (red/near-infrared light) fits alongside orthobiologics to reduce pain, speed recovery, and keep athletes—and active patients—moving without defaulting to surgery or steroids. Through practical case examples and clinic-to-home protocols, Dr. Derrington shows how to empower patients with clear options, measurable outcomes, and safer adjuncts that scale inside busy sports-medicine workflows.

Streamlined Takeaways (with emojis)

• 🏃 Beyond the scalpel: PBM + orthobiologics offer non-surgical paths for sport and daily life.
• 🔴 Energy for healing: Red/NIR light supports tissue recovery and pain control when dosed well.
• 🧰 Stacked protocols: Layer PBM with rehab and biologics to amplify results.
• 🧑‍⚕️ Empower the patient: Teach options, set expectations, and track simple metrics.
• 🏠 Clinic → home: Short, repeatable at-home PBM boosts adherence and durability.
• 🧠 Open mindset: Evaluate new modalities with evidence, safety, and workflow fit.
• 🤝 Team approach: Community, coaching, and consistent follow-up drive long-term wins.

This podcast is hosted by Jaydev Karande and Dr. Rahul Desai with Redvive.

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.
