In this video, I share how I discovered photobiomodulation (PBM)—red and near-infrared light therapy—after a Gold Coast GP said, "It's a shame there's something out there that can help people, but not many know about it." As a journalist, I replied, "That's my job!" This led to a feature in the Weekend Australian Magazine and my personal experience with this transformative therapy.

As a parent struggling with chronic sleep deprivation from my toddler’s nighttime wake-ups, I’ve faced severe morning and overnight headaches. The Neuronic LIGHT helmet has been a game-changer, helping me manage my headaches naturally with its advanced transcranial PBM technology. It uses a 1070nm near-infrared wavelength for deep brain penetration, delivering non-invasive therapy through 300 high-powered LEDs (291 standard + 9 ultra-high power) for full scalp coverage, including the cerebellum, with 4-quadrant control for targeted stimulation. (Full disclosure: This is not medical advice—just my personal experience. The Neuronic LIGHT is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any medical condition, including headaches. Always consult a healthcare professional.)

I’m excited about how it might improve circulation by dilating tiny blood vessels in my head, support the glymphatic system to clear brain waste, and reduce neuro-inflammation linked to sleep loss. Over 10,000 PubMed studies support PBM’s benefits, like enhancing mitochondrial energy (ATP production), blood flow, oxygenation, and neuroprotection, with emerging research on cognitive support, mood, sleep quality, and conditions like anxiety, depression, and traumatic brain injury (TBI). The app-connected, Bluetooth-enabled helmet is user-friendly—plug in via USB-C, choose programs like "Peace" (relaxation), "Focus," or "Balance," and use its 2-hour battery with session tracking. Neuronic is funding extensive research: 2 completed trials, 9 ongoing, and 14 planned with over 210 participants. For me, it’s meant fewer headaches and better rest.

00:00I have got so much to say about this helmet and the topic of photobiomodulation but I'll
00:06try and keep it free because I ramble too much. The first time I heard about photobiomodulation
00:13it was from a GP here on the Gold Coast and I'll never forget his words. He said it's a pity there's
00:19something out there that can help people but not many people know about it and I do remember my
00:25response to and I said well I'm a journalist that's my job and that was sort of the start of
00:30something that's turned into something a lot bigger than I ever expected so it was a start of a feature
00:36article in the Weekend Australian magazine on how it's being used to help alleviate the symptoms of
00:43Parkinson's and Alzheimer's and the list goes on and this isn't a medical video at all this isn't
00:50this is a health and wellness device that I'm focusing on so not medical information at all
00:55I'm not a doctor or anything but these now I mean the first well about the neurodegeneration
01:04red light therapy is is 100 being studied a lot by universities scientists you can look up all the
01:11studies online and a really key point that Liam one of the co-founders of Neuronix said about the whole
01:18topic of photobiomodulation he said when he first looked into it there was a lot of studies on it
01:24but then he went away for a few years and he was busy doing something else but when he came back to it
01:29he said the amount of research had just oh just it had grown exponentially so anyone that wants to
01:37have a look at all the studies all the science all of that hop online have a really good read about it
01:43it's become almost to the point I mean I I was saying to Liam I do think it's become mainstream
01:49because how many people you know you probably know someone with a portable red light therapy mask that
01:55they're using or you've been oh this one's just um stop or you've been to a skin clinic and a
02:01dermatologist is using red light therapy on your skin or you've been to a physio and they're using a
02:06laser which is red light therapy as well or infrared light therapy both on your knee or you've gone to
02:13the vet and the vet's using it on your pet so it's you know and and it's a health and wellness thing it's
02:19it's pretty big like you can actually go I think there's a clinic here even on the gold coast where
02:25you can go to a clinic now and use these just like you can use anything else you can use a sauna
02:31there's infrared light therapy saunas beds all of it like it's yeah I think it's pretty mainstream
02:37now like I don't think it's that wild to be talking about red light therapy but anyway so so it is it
02:43has just grown it has grown exponentially both both scientifically with the research and just in the
02:50in the local you know everyone oh red light therapy oh you're using your red light therapy mask yeah
02:54so i am basically this helmet though this is the first really powerful thing that i've like i'm just
03:05i've got a lot of red light therapy devices but this this really is next level like and i am genuinely
03:11excited i have it so just my experiences with it though it's actually been incredible so with the
03:18lack of sleep i've been experiencing my headaches in the mornings have gotten so bad and and in fact
03:26one one thing i was experiencing a lot is when if i go to the bathroom in the morning and and um i'm just
03:34in the bathroom using using the toilet basically and and i've been getting sort of sparse behind my
03:40eyes like it's and i've been asking about the more stars behind my eyes and and other things too you
03:46know if i'm lifting something heavy i've been getting sort of some sparks and all that and i've
03:50obviously told me because he's a doctor and he said that's basically a sign that there's too much
03:54pressure or something in your head or um just it's not good basically you shouldn't you shouldn't get
04:00that when you when you're doing anything sort of heavy lifting and that sort of stuff straining it in
04:06any way shape or form so um and plus just the headaches it was like feeling like a great hot lava all
04:13that like then in the middle of the night when space wakes me up it's just a really painful
04:17pulsing like it's it's like really really sore and every morning i wake up with a headache like
04:24it's become my new normal in a way which is a bit sad so um so i'm excited to get this helmet and i only
04:35sort of thought of it in terms of benefits that oh yeah you know like it's great to look after your brain
04:40health it's fantastic for any uh i will you know i think anyone really over the age of what probably
04:4730 could really do with one i don't know how early you start experiencing any sort of brain degeneration
04:53but if it's like the rest of your body it's probably pretty pretty early like even collagen starts to
04:59degrade after age 25 so i thought you know optimizing your brain health and i know all the benefits of
05:07red light therapy like i know it cuts down inflammation um i know that it can help dilate
05:13blood vessels i increase circulation i know all that so you know if you think about any part of your
05:20body that you're treating then surely your brain's the same you know and it's in just just increasing
05:26circulation all of that can just give you benefits so just as a health and wellness thing it's great
05:32and i've been using because i know about the red light therapy things but you know helping prevent
05:40i guess or trying as a as a health adjunct you know um neurodegeneration down the track i've been using
05:46my light box on my head and all that sort of stuff anyway so this helmet comes with a 100% guarantee 100%
05:55money-back guarantee and liam did say that they started out with an 80% money-back guarantee but
06:01they upped it to a 100% guarantee because no one's returning it basically like for everyone that gets
06:08one then or just no one's returning it so i have genuinely experienced some actually fairly marked
06:17benefits just from me personally and the and i'm so excited to say that the headaches in the middle of
06:25the night are pretty much non-existent the day i use this now i don't have that really painful pulsing
06:31anymore in the middle of the night don't see any stars like any sort of stars or anything so so i i
06:39mean i assume i don't know why but you know just my brain would then make the deduction that well
06:45perhaps the pressure's decreased in my brain i mean i'm not making any medical claims because i don't know
06:50but what i do know is that on in real time mri scans that can show that um red light therapy can
06:58definitely increase wearing a helmet like this can increase the circulation in the brain so
07:05what i can surmise maybe is what this device is doing is it's possibly dilating my blood vessels
07:14and increasing circulation and just reducing that that that pressure in my brain for a start and
07:21also hopefully fingers crossed reducing the inflammation in my brain that could be caused by
07:28then the chronic lack of sleep and i did actually get on grok i use grok a lot if anyone hasn't used
07:34grok i love grok grok is actually x's ai and i absolutely love grok so i get on grok and i say can
07:40um chronic lack of sleep cause neural inflammation and grok comes back and says yes it can so um so
07:49so i think well you know my brain wasn't wasn't healthy basically the lack of sleep was making it
07:54very unhealthy and you need sleep 100 nothing no health and wellness device is going to take the
08:00place of sleep i mean that's a no-brainer but um but sometimes there's there's nothing you can do i
08:07mean i can't tell spencer to sleep through the night you know we're looking after a new baby
08:12looking after a toddler there's there's situations or looking after someone with a chronic illness
08:17where you have to get up multiple times a night there's some situations you can't change like so
08:22there's no point telling me you need sleep i know you need sleep that's great i'm looking forward to one
08:29day being able to get sleep but at the moment this has become like a oh i don't know my equivalent
08:37anyway my health and wellness equivalent of panadol it i use it for pain relief and it it's done a
08:44remarkable job and ironically i actually loaned it to someone for a few days so i didn't have it for a few
08:53days and i'll never forget when i wrote that up that article in the weekend australian on the red
08:59light therapy devices that i can't remember the name of my interviewee but um i'll never forget his
09:05words either he said i notice a difference when i'm not using it and yeah the headaches started to come
09:11back so i couldn't wait to get my hands on it again so i really do think that it's really helping me
09:18so i'm excited i really am excited and and i can just you know again this isn't anything medical
09:24or anything it's just my mind thinking about how it's working physiologically but i can picture
09:30sort of physiologically it it's possibly then dilating my those tiny little vessels a little bit in my
09:37head and increasing circulation hopefully maybe um Liam did say that it can help um the glymphatic
09:45system which is draining toxins out of your brain much like the lymphatic system does for your body
09:51and reducing inflammation and yeah my my head just feels better so whether it's doing anything
09:57long term or not obviously again i'm not a doctor i can't say but all i know is that right now it has
10:04become my best friend and i i genuinely and and that's and that's what Liam said people start using it
10:13and no one returns it because there's something that they're finding it really helping me so
10:18i'm certainly not really i'm not returning mine in fact even if i was paid to return it i would fight
10:23for it now i would say you're not taking it
