Dr. Joe DiDuro: Rediscover Your Senses | Enhance Smell, Taste, and Mental Acuity through Photobiomodulation Techniques
01/14/22 • 60 min
Three months after having COVID-19, our host Andrés struggled to regain his sense of smell and taste, and his lack of mental acuity almost forced him to stop creating this podcast altogether. He was then introduced to photobiomodulation and Dr. Joe DiDuro. In this episode, he chats to Dr. Joe DiDuro, about the ProNeuroLIGHT and the benefits he derived from it. Dr. Joe DiDuro is the President at ProNeuroLIGHT LLC, the CEO of Concentro Laboratories LLC, and a diplomat of the American Board of Chiropractic Neurologists, specializing in neurology. He also holds a Master of Science in Clinical Research from the Palmer College of Chiropractics and, of course, is a biohacker. While we encourage listeners to remain skeptical, in this episode, we discuss the ProNeuroLIGHT, a device consisting of infrared probes that go up your nose and activate the olfactory bulb to get more blood flowing to your brain. Tuning in, you’ll find out what transcranial photobiomodulation is and the mechanisms through which it can combat an inflammatory response causing cognitive impairment and the inability to smell and taste. We also talk about how it can improve your sleep and overall health beyond that. If you’re looking for something to help you get past the long-haul symptoms of COVID-19, this may be the solution you have been looking for, so tune in today!
Key Points From This Episode:
- An introduction to Dr. Joe DiDuro, his credentials, and the device he sent Andrés.
- Disclosure: Having seen the benefits, Andrés is now an affiliate of the ProNeuroLIGHT.
- The after-effects of COVID that Andrés experienced and some of the things he tried to combat them.
- Some of the improvements he saw when he started using the ProNeuroLIGHT.
- Shocking statistics about the number of people who experience neurological symptoms after having COVID.
- How Dr. Joe DiDuro first started experimenting with transcranial photobiomodulation.
- The definition of transcranial photobiomodulation.
- The benefits of using the nose for this treatment.
- The benefits that Andrés started to experience apart from just relief from his symptoms.
- Dr. DiDuro explains how the ProNeuroLIGHT was able to relieve Andrés’ specific symptoms.
- Why Dr. DiDuro uses a multi-modal approach of the brain, the blood, and the body.

Dr. Peter McCullough: Navigating the COVID Conundrum | Demystifying Research, Early Home Treatment, Reinfection, and Beyond
Today’s guest on the Know Your Physio Podcast is Dr. Peter McCullough, the renowned cardiologist and epidemiologist whose confrontation of the US government’s COVID-19 policies drew more than 40 million views on Joe Rogan‘s podcast.
Dr. McCullough is board certified in internal medicine, cardiovascular disease, and clinical lipidology. He’s one of the most published medical researchers of all time, with over 1000 publications and 600 citations, 30+ on COVID treatment alone.
He cares for advanced patients with common medical problems, including heart and kidney disease, lipid disorders, and diabetes, and he is considered a leader in the C19 disaster.
What makes today’s conversation unique is that we had a chance to unravel some of the backlash and counterarguments he received as a result of those viral interviews from other leading health experts who hold opposing views, including why the term “misinformation” is so closely tied to his name.
THIS IS A HIGHLY CONTROVERSIAL TOPIC, all my guests on the show have their opinion, and hosting them doesn’t mean I necessarily agree or disagree with everything they say or share.
Tune in today to hear more from Dr. McCullough in an episode that we’re calling ‘COVID Research Unravelled.'

- Learn more about monoclonal antibody infusion treatment, which comes from mice.
- Peter dispels misinformation about home treatments, which he says is caused by the incompetency of our federal agencies.
- Vitamins, fitness, nutrition protocols, and sleep and stress management for COVID-19.
