Red Light Therapy For Fat Loss: Hands-Free, Supercharged Stubborn Body Fat Elimination

Ever since I wrote last week’s bombshell piece on red light therapy for fully optimized health, my inbox has been BLOWING UP with requests for more information.

People want to know where they can purchase an Ultraslim device or Trifecta Light Pro 450 Bed for themselves… or find the closest health optimization clinic that has one lying around.

But most importantly… I made a massive promise to reveal something even better:

My radically ALL-NEW “Stubborn Fat Loss Eradication Protocol” for eliminating subcutaneous fat stores to become completely and totally shredded beyond belief

All done through harnessing the power of medical-grade red light therapy, which we now know beyond question is a natural and holistic approach to body composition management.

Yes, there are over 50 years of empirical research demonstrating the insane power of red light therapy for fat loss with ZERO side effects.

None of that means anything because I have PROVEN this one thing is the biggest difference maker in existence for ultra-optimized people like myself.

Even when I eventually embark on a phase of gaining lean mass, I fully intend to keep using red light in perpetuity to maintain the perfect physique.

Imagine what will happen if I keep all the subcutaneous fat in my abs, love handles, and lower back OFF while putting on pounds of muscle?

That’s for another time.

Right now, you’re here to witness a monumental change in the esoteric science of physique transformation even more advanced than what I published in my newest fat loss manual 30 Days 2 Shredz.

So let’s get right to it!

How Does Red Light Therapy Eliminate Body Fat?

Our story starts with an “accidental” discovery made by Dr. Carl Rothschild of Trifecta Light Technologies.

Much like how Cialis was never meant to be a drug for erectile dysfunction, or Tesofensine was never meant to be a weight loss agent…

… red light therapy was never meant to be anything more than a life-changing healing modality.

The Origin Story of Red Light Therapy And Fat Loss

Dr. Rothschild entered the field of light therapy as a successful chiropractor before anybody else 45 years ago, but it wasn’t until he got involved with manufacturing red light therapy devices 12 years ago when things took an interesting turn.

He had only used laser therapy exclusively for healing people and knew nothing about the idea of “red light”.

In fact… he was exclusively focused on near-infrared therapy and dismissed the wavelength of red light due to its inferior healing properties (the idea of fat loss wasn’t even on his mind!).

Out of the blue, Dr. Rothschild was tipped off by a plastic surgeon who had made his own “surprise” finding.

This surgeon was told by a colleague it would be a smart idea to use a red light laser over an area he was going to do plastic surgery on to pull out fat tissue.

The end result was the fat came out even easier than before compared to the surgeon’s previous attempts.

And this is when people started to jump on the bandwagon as the “Yukon Gold Rush” opportunity of fat loss was immediately evident.

One of the pioneers of red light therapy tech was arguably Erchonia, a well-known leader in the low-level laser therapy (LLLT) industry, and their signature body contouring machine Zerona:

“Erchonia’s Zerona Z6 uses (6) adjustable heads to target the fat cells beneath the treatment area creating a temporary opening within the fat cell to allow the fatty liquids to drain out of the cell and be flushed out naturally, through your lymphatic system”

…Zerona-Z6 works by utilizing Erchonia’s patented low level laser technology to emulsify adipose tissue which is then released into the interstitial space.

Our bodies remove the fat from the area and transport the fat through the lymphatic system creating a slimming effect.

The process occurs gradually over the course of about 2-4 weeks.

The Zerona Z6 was proven through a double-blind, randomized, multi-site, and placebo-controlled study in which clients averaged a loss of 3.52* inches”

The Big Discovery

So what is the precise fat loss mechanism of red light therapy that distinguishes it from its healing mechanism done mostly through mitochondrial optimization and seen more prominently with near-infrared light?

It can be summarized in two sentences:

“An original explanation to the phenomenon of fat tissue interaction with laser light, provided by Neira et al., was that laser irradiation permeabilizes cell membranes inducing pores in cell membrane, which results in the passive spillage of lipids into the interstitial space.

An alternative hypothesis is that LLLT affects lipid metabolism in adipocytes and/or transport of lipids through cell membrane without affecting its integrity”

This mechanism is further expanded upon in Dr. Carl Rothschild’s must-read book Illuminated Healing, but I’ll give you the summary points here…

Red light therapy (at a wavelength of ~635 nm) temporarily changes the permeability of an adipocyte’s cell wall (i.e. the fat cell’s outermost layer) such that it becomes much more porous.

Combined with the stimulated breakdown of lipids within the cells, the “contents” of the cell now leak out at an accelerated rate relative to when they are in an untreated state.

This leads to a reduction in the size of the adipocyte and this ultimately decreases body fat stores.

The “fat” is moved away from the adipocyte and gets transferred to the lymphatic system, from which it eventually reaches the liver for use or elimination ( stay tuned… there are ways to speed up this latter half of the process ).

If you magnify this process 100,000x across hundreds of thousands of adipocytes with high-grade red light therapy, this process is NOT subtle at all.

It’s one of the reasons why even though this temporary change lasts for 24-48 hours, people see instant bodily changes that can be easily verified with measurements and a reliable form of determining body composition.

Trust me when I say the results are spectacular to the point of being unbelievable.

Why Fat Elimination DOES NOT Mean “Killing” Fat Cells

Pay close attention to what is being described… we are NOT damaging fat cells, freezing them, boiling them, cutting them out, dissolving them, or injuring them in any way.

There is a world of difference between mobilizing the content within fat cells, versus destroying the fat cells entirely.

Dr. Rothschild explained to me how people can actually sabotage their fat loss efforts with red light therapy and end up FATTER than when they started:

“The good news and bad news about red light therapy is the increased porosity of the fat cell wall will last for roughly 24 hours, and then the next day it returns to normal.

Someone who doesn’t care about their health or longevity — the point of willfully killing themselves just to get skinny — is perfectly okay with destroying fat cells.

The REAL damage comes when the same person is stupid enough to eat excessive amounts of food following a red light therapy session.

You have to remember the body’s natural intent is to store excess fat in preparation for some famine that’s going to happen down the road.

So what happens when you pig out after using even the world’s best red light therapy device perfectly configured for fat loss?

These people will suddenly have ‘fat knees’ or ‘fat calves’ or ‘fat thighs’… because they took away from the belly and now the extra fat will reside somewhere else.”

Dr. Enrico Dolcecore goes one step further and talks about why even with the above taken into consideration, attempting to eliminate fat cells entirely is detrimental to your long-term health:

“Look, every single cell in your body is important and fat cells are no exception.

A 150-pound person and a 350-pound person have the same amount of fat cells… but the 350-pound person has swollen fat cells, which promote the release and production of inflammatory risk factors that are a package deal with being overweight/obese.

Fat cells play a vital role in the body’s detoxification processes, so would be idiotic to get rid of them entirely.

On the other hand, we don’t them hyper-inflammed 24/7 because of the obvious negative health outcomes that come about.”

And he’s not wrong.

Emerging research into human physiology shows our adipose tissue is a critical part of maintaining homeostasis within our biological systems:

“Adipocytes and other AT [adipose tissue] cells secrete a variety of mediators, including exosomes, miRNA, lipids, inflammatory cytokines, and peptide hormones that act in both paracrine and endocrine modes

Although adipocytes secrete a large variety of bioactive molecules with widespread systemic effects contributing to numerous physiological and pathological processes, the autocrine and paracrine actions of these molecules are highly complex, and our understanding of these processes is likely rudimentary.

However, substantial progress has been made studying three endocrine hormones that are almost exclusively produced in adipocytes and function to regulate food intake, the reproductive axis, insulin sensitivity, and immune responses [leptin, adiponectin, and resistin].

The dysregulation of any one of these hormones can contribute to systemic metabolic dysfunction, as well as to the pathogenesis of chronic metabolic diseases and some types of cancer.”

Figure 6. . Summary of adipocyte-specific adipokines, and their actions on other tissues.

Using what we now know, Dr. Dolcecore can now elaborate on how red light therapy for fat loss is very different from other body-altering procedures like ultrasonic cavitation, radiofrequency, cryolipolysis, CoolScuplting, and liposuction:

“People have this warped thought process that we were born with a whole bunch of extra parts we can remove without any health consequences whatsoever.

‘Oh sure, let’s destroy this essential tissue that will not regrow even though we are stuck with them for our entire adult lives (unlike our constantly-replenishing skin cells). What’s the worst that could happen?’

So what you’ll see these alternative procedures do is either remove the fat cells completely (liposuction), rupture them (cavitation), or just destroy them all together (cryolipolysis).

Remember what I told you about fat cells earlier: They play many crucial roles in the body such as producing hormones, protecting our vital organs, generating heat when our bodies get cold, assisting with stem cell production, and storing toxins.

When you destroy cells in the body, it responds via these inflammatory processes where the macrophages recycle the dead cells and this can place a lot of stress on the immune system”

Indeed, it would be dumb of us in the Jay Campbell world to NOT expect the body to react in a compensatory way to artificial fat cell destruction.

As one white paper so succinctly puts it:

“When the number of fat cells in our body is artificially reduced, the body will react and trigger a compensation mechanism that will restore the fat balance in our body…

(1) Production of new fat cells in the treated area or in untreated areas of the adipose tissue, or (2) Expansion of existing fat cells, usually not in the same location of manipulation.

…We don’t know yet how to prevent or even delay these compensation processes. In other words, we can’t trick our body. We can’t reduce the number of fat cells and expect no reaction.

The fat will come back, either by producing more fat cells or expanding existing ones. The bottom line is: in one way or another we will regain the fat that was artificially eliminated.”

The same paper even talks about two known phenomena seen with these alternative procedures.

In the case of liposuction, over a long enough period of time (and assuming ZERO changes in diet or training that should have been made in the first place), fat eventually returns to other non-treated areas of the body.

And for cryolipolysis, “paradoxical hyperplasia” results in the body producing an increased number of NEW fat cells in the treated area and leads to enlarged adipose tissue.

I’ll end off by showing you a common occurrence among people who get Brazilian Butt Lifts (BBLs) done improperly:

“Fat necrosis after BBL is a complication that can occur after surgery.

It happens when the transplanted fat cells do not receive an adequate blood supply, causing them to die.

The dead fat cells then form hard lumps or nodules under the skin, which can be painful, uncomfortable, and unsightly.”

But Dr. Dolcecore had some different parting words for me:

They have done no research to show the ramifications 20 years down the road when you’ve had liposuction and destroyed a bunch of fat cells (or frozen them through cryotherapy).

I guarantee if you watch enough TV, you will see an attorney suing (via a class action lawsuit) and there will be several more when they realize the damage they’ve done to people’s bodies by removing essential tissue.

The Right “Dose” Of Red Light Therapy For Targeted Fat Loss

We now have a solid grasp on how red light specifically works for fat loss and why it is imperative to shrink fat cells without removing or killing them.

This allows us to jump straight into the application of this information toward our goal of a defined and vascular set of six-pack abs.

The Right Frequency

Dr. Carl Rothschild tipped me on to this important part of red light therapy and says it is what separates high-end devices like his Pro 450 Bed from the cheap gizmos you buy on Amazon and AliExpress.

“So people already know about wavelength – red light has its wavelength of around 630 nm to 700 nm (better for fat loss than healing), while near-infrared has its wavelength range of around 800 nm to 1000 nm (better for healing than fat loss).

You’ve clearly seen the difference with your own eyes that this is not a subtle difference when you used the UltraSlim on select parts of your body.

Where the confusion lies is once I start talking about the word ‘frequency’… put simply, it defines how we ‘pulse’ the wavelength.

My Pro 450 Bed allows for full modification of these pulsations from 0 all the way to 5,000 Hz (beats per second).”

What he discovered is that different frequencies will “resonate” best with different tissues in your body, i.e. the liver has its own optimal frequency that is distinct from the kidney (and vice versa).

NOTE: This is the same philosophy of thinking used to power conscious-enhancing technologies like the VibraGenix and TrinFinity8, arguably The Phoenix as well for improved sexual performance… ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION YET!?

For people who are brand new to red light therapy, Dr. Rothschild starts them off with a “universal” frequency of 528 Hz using a wavelength of light corresponding to near-infrared light.

In his experience, this particular setup is the best way for patients to get their feet wet and simultaneously experience the numerous healing benefits of red light therapy.

As a matter of fact, Dr. Rothschild has a HUGE spreadsheet with very dialed-in settings in his Pro 450 Bed that have been field-tested for achieving specific health outcomes!

(Don’t ask me for this spreadsheet as it only gets distributed to clinics who pay the full price for the Pro 450 Bed itself, the transportation and setup, extensive training for proper use, and marketing materials to ensure the device is profitable for the clinic)

However, specifically for fat loss, Dr. Rothschild employs a frequency of 295-298 Hz using a wavelength of light corresponding to pure red light.

The Right Distance

Although I have yet to see a definitive answer to this, the answer largely depends on the device you are using.

If you were to use the Zercona Z6 from Erchonia, the light diodes are to be placed “no greater than 3-4 inches / 9 cm away from the patient’s target treatment areas.”

For the UltraSlim, the sales director informed me you want to keep the pads anywhere between 6-8 inches away from the body for maximal light absorption.

And with the Trifecta Pro 450 Bed, you literally just lie down with the top canopy fully closed and the optimal distance between your body and the lights is already set in place.

But due to the thousands of LEDs being strategically placed on the top AND bottom of the bed, you’re effectively multiplying the magnitude of any other red light therapy technology by 10x and the entire body is covered (but only specific parts can be exposed if desired).

The Right Duration

Again, this is highly dependent on the red light therapy device and the practitioner’s best judgment.

As an example to show you how to approach this, here are the official UltraSlim instructions handed to me for achieving fat loss:

After much experimentation, my approach is slightly different:

There is still some debate between red light therapy practitioners regarding these details.

Some insist on an approach involving every-other-day exposure (or less frequently), while others argue you can easily expose yourself to red light therapy every day without reaching an “upper limit” for achieving the maximal rate of fat loss.

People in the former camp will argue the fat cells can stay open for anywhere between 48-72 hours, and so you want the cells to “drain out” as much fat as possible for expulsion from the body (in the form of ‘waste’) before they return to their normal state of cell wall permeability.

They will also argue some patients will not be able to completely expel all the liberated contents within the fat cells even if their cell walls are more permeable following treatment (i.e. there’s no benefit to more frequent treatments).

But don’t worry… as long as you work with the devices and the people I AM recommending, you won’t have to obsess over such minutiae.

How To Enhance The Fat Loss Effects Of Red Light Therapy

You didn’t think I was just going to tell you to put a couple of pads near your body (or lie down in a super-expensive tech bed) for a few minutes and leave you hanging, did you?

Luckily for us, Dr. Rothschild and Dr. Dolcecore have hooked me up with their trade secrets for multiplying the results you get from using red light therapy for fat loss.

Increasing Lymphatic Drainage

Before I got the opportunity to use the Trifecta Pro 450 Bed for myself, Dr. Rothschild told me about his magic “secret sauce” for getting even better outcomes with red light therapy.

Not just for fat loss, but for ANY condition you’re attempting to heal and/or optimize.

The hidden hack involves improving the body’s ability to expel waste through the lymphatic system.

Here’s how he explains it:

“Every single cell in your body exudes metabolic waste into the interstitial tissue.

As I told you before, you change the fat cell wall’s permeability and allow its contents to leak out, your lymphatic system is what sucks it up and brings it to the liver for use or elimination.

So if someone has fantastic circulation, they will get better results.

Likewise, if you have an old overweight person with poor circulation (swollen ankles are almost always a dead giveaway), they’re going to require some assistance”

So right after a patient jumps off the Pro 450 Bed, Dr. Rothschild highly encourages them to engage in some physical activity.

Some great options to induce a “lymphatic flush” include:

The point is to engage in exercise because the released contents from the fat cells can be readily burned/utilized during physical activity (since the red light therapy enhances lipolysis via increased activity of the enzyme lipase).

But Dr. Rothschild often encounters patients who don’t want to move their asses (or can’t due to legitimate physical limitations).

For those individuals, he has a few alternatives:
