Episode Description:

If you think light therapy is just about getting vitamin D from the sun or avoiding sunburn, this conversation will completely transform how you understand light as a fundamental nutrient your body desperately needs to function properly.

Today I'm talking with Brian Richards, founder and inventor of SaunaSpace, who discovered the power of light therapy over a decade ago when he was struggling with insomnia, acne, and low energy right out of college. What started as a personal health journey led him to uncover Dr. Kellogg's work, where he tested incandescent electric light baths on 50,000 patients and documented healing from almost every chronic illness imaginable.

Brian's approach is revolutionary because he's not just creating another red light device, he's recreating the full spectrum of healing light that our bodies are designed to receive from the sun, but without the harmful UV rays. We're diving deep into why we're literally beings of light, how over 70% of the photons we absorb from the sun are near infrared, and why this specific wavelength is crucial for mitochondrial function, melatonin production, and cellular repair.

From why LED lights are damaging our health to how structured water works in our bodies, Brian breaks down the science behind why light therapy can be life-changing for everything from seasonal depression to eyesight improvement.

In today's episode, we're talking about:

- How over 70% of the energy we absorb from the sun is near infrared light that directly feeds our mitochondria

- The difference between LED red light therapy and full-spectrum incandescent light

- How light exposure in the morning programs your entire day

- The revolutionary sauna technology that heats your body from the inside out using light instead of hot air

- EMF shielding and why it matters for creating the ultimate healing environment free from the constant stress of wireless signals
