The Science of Sun, Blue Light, Flicker & Photon Sauna Therapy w/ Brian Richards of SaunaSpace #409

Brian Richards is an incredibly bright guy with a deep understanding of the benefits of the natural light spectrum, the deficits of blue light and EMF, and the undeniable power of photon sauna therapy. I’ve been a huge proponent of the positive effects of red light therapy for years, and the science is clear: blue light isn’t doing our bodies any favors. When you look at the light we’ve historically adapted to, it’s all tilted red. But modern society isn’t exactly set up to help us with that – especially as we shift to working more and more indoors. 

That’s where Brian and his incredible products come in, helping us get the positive aspects of red light and sun exposure wherever we are. If you come out the other side of this wanting to check out his stuff, he’s given us a listener discount. Just visit sauna.space and use the code “LUKE5” for 5% off.
