The Red Light Report

Circadian Rhythm & Living a Natural Lifestyle w/ Bastian Groiss

This week on The Red Light Report, I had the chance to catch up with someone that reveres the miraculous benefits of light as much as I do and has an even higher regard for the impact of circadian rhythm. So much that he has developed his own app, Circadian. Bastian Groiss is a man close to my heart and someone that comes from the similar background of being educated by Dr. Jack Kruse. In this episode, we cover the many impacts of light (and non-native light), how to harness the benefits of sunlight and red light therapy and, of course, the importance of optimizing one's circadian rhythm.

Bastian Groiss is the CEO & Co-Founder Circadian Ltd, ambassador for circadian rhythms and a natural lifestyle. He is originally from German with a rural upbringing and now lives in New Zealand. Bastian is a former project manager, self-taught wood worker and handyman, long-time dog trainer, spiritual explorer, ambassador for regenerative agriculture, circadian rhythms, natural light and reconnecting with nature.


Bastian is another one of those rare people that has a high respect for light, circadian rhythm and their impact on our health and wellness. This is a conversation you will all enjoy. As always, light up your health! -
