We’re back with another episode in a series of highly vetted companies that I love sharing with my community. Today, I’m joined by Forrest Smith, the co-founder and CEO of Kineon. A dynamic entrepreneur with an infectious enthusiasm for his work, Forrest reads and writes fluent Chinese, lives in Mexico, and brings over 20 years of experience building and scaling successful startups. His work at Kineon reflects his optimism and innovative approach in the field of health and wellness technology. In our conversation, we explore what red light therapy (photobiomodulation) is and its cellular and mitochondrial effects. We unpack the benefits of methylene blue, the impact of photobiomodulation on joint pain and thyroid health, and specific contraindications. We also discuss red light therapy and the gut hormone access, peptides, recovery toolkits, and female-centric research related to infertility, PCOS, endometriosis, thyroid health, and more. This is one of those conversations you will likely want to listen to more than once. Be sure to check the show notes for a special offer from Kineon, exclusively for my listeners.
