“I would prefer people just focus on a properly formulated ketogenic diet like what you would get out of the keto Master Class like what you get from keto gains”

Worth discussing with your GP, especially if you take medication or are pregnant. Entrain describes what is publicly taught; it does not prescribe.

The research our sources reach for

Peer-reviewed papers cited alongside this verdict, linked straight to PubMed.

On 5 September 2026, 340 studies in the library were compared by identifier with 72,389 Retraction Watch entries. No matching notices were found. This check does not establish study quality or validate a health claim.

Red and infrared light

Red and infrared light support mitochondrial function and skin resilience.

Strong consensus

“the red spectrum of light penetrates into the mitochondria kicks nitric oxide off and then the electrons can flow through”

Infrared light therapy

Infrared light therapy is widely valued for supporting mitochondria and relaxation.

Strong consensus

“infrared light which can penetrate 8cm into the body can help to clear this out of the way so that your mitochondria can carry on making ATP and water”

Infrared exposure

Infrared exposure helps support healthy blood flow and cellular energy production.

Strong consensus

“The main things are sunlight exposure, infrared light, anything that's going to build charge in your body is going to help build the structured water and that’s going to prevent this clotting response.”
