A child’s illness sparked a search for hope—what they found could change how we heal. 

When a rare neurological condition upended their son Dylan’s life, Kevin and Jacqueline Johnson refused to accept that nothing more could be done. Together with Dr. Brandon Crawford, they discovered a powerful healing tool: photobiomodulation, using red and near-infrared light to reduce inflammation, support brain function, and spark recovery. In this powerful segment, Dr. Drew welcomes Kevin and Dr. Crawford to discuss how their company, 528 Innovations, was born from desperation and driven by love. What started as an in-office treatment is now an FDA-cleared device being used at home by families across the country. The segment closes with a heartfelt Zoom interview with Jacqueline, Dylan’s mom, offering an intimate look at the emotional journey behind this science-backed success story.
