Cytochrome c oxidase — the terminal enzyme of your mitochondrial electron transport chain — absorbs photons at specific red and near-infrared wavelengths and converts that light directly into cellular ATP, making photobiomodulation one of the few recovery interventions with an established molecular mechanism.
Your eye contains a third photoreceptor nobody told you about — and it doesn’t help you see anything; it exists solely to tell your brain what time it is, making it the most hackable clock in your body.
Cold exposure research has produced two incompatible protocols — one for metabolic adaptation, one for recovery — and the popular habit of using them interchangeably actively undermines both.
