In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Kirk Gair to explore the cutting-edge world of low-level laser therapy and its transformative impact on healing, performance, and human potential. From his early struggles as an athlete to witnessing near-miraculous turnarounds in his patients, Dr. Gair describes laser therapy as a modern-day "fountain of youth" backed by science, precision, and real-world results.
We dive deep into how lasers support cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and enhance mitochondrial function — a foundational piece in sports performance and functional health. Dr. Gair shares practical insights on how he uses laser therapy to address common issues such as shoulder injuries, plantar fasciitis, concussions, and chronic pain, showing why this non-invasive modality is gaining traction across disciplines.
The conversation also explores the broader implications of laser technology, from boosting recovery and brain function to supporting long-term resilience. As Dr. Gair maps out the future of energy-based therapies, listeners will gain a clearer understanding of how targeted wavelengths may shape the next era of wellness, performance optimization, and even human consciousness.
A must-listen for athletes, clinicians, and anyone passionate about elevating health with innovative, science-backed tools.

More About Dr. Kirk Gair:
Dr Gair has been using lasers since 2004 and has worked on world record holding athletes, NFL Champions, an MLB 2 time batting champion, national champ wrestlers, and weekend warriors. He was a classmate and friend of Dr Datis Kharrazian and was the first person Dr K did functional medicine labs on clear back in 1996. He learned functional medicine and neurology from Dr K and incorporates those protocols with his High Energy laser protocols. Dr Gair was also featured in NY Times best selling author Dr Izabella Wentz's book Hashimoto's protocol and documentary The Thyroid Secret for the laser protocols he uses to help patients with Hashimoto's.
He has been an international speaker, training other doctors in laser therapy since 2017, and is also the co-author and co-principal investigator of the highest energy laser in the world, the Erchonia GVL green and violet laser.
