Dr. Bjørn Ekeberg, co-founder and CEO of Recharge Health, discusses the performance benefits of red light therapy, practical daily applications of infrared devices, and the energetics behind light and human energy. They explore the most effective infrared wavelength for healing, using red light to treat injuries and increase performance, and a framework to sync up your circadian rhythm. They also touch on the limitations and uncertainties in cosmology and the benefits of infrared light therapy for sleep, recovery, and vasodilation. Additionally, they discuss the importance of heavy strength focus sessions for hypertrophy.
Red light therapy utilizing specific near infrared wavelengths has been clinically proven to relieve pain, repair cells, boost energy, and reduce inflammation, making it suitable for treating injuries and managing conditions like arthritis.
Understanding and appreciating the full scope of the sun's energy is crucial as it has a significant impact on our overall well-being and energy beyond just providing vitamin D and avoiding sunburn.
The Flexbeam targeted red light therapy device, with its efficacy in muscle repair and performance enhancement, offers a convenient solution for individuals with muscular-skeletal conditions or localized issues.

The Power and Importance of Sunlight
The podcast episode discusses the significance of sunlight and its effects on our bodies. The speaker highlights how we often take the energy from the sun for granted and only associate it with avoiding sunburn and getting vitamin D. However, the sun has a much broader impact on our overall well-being and energy. The episode emphasizes the need to understand and appreciate the full scope of what the sun does for us.
Personal Experiment with Saunas and Ice Tubs
The host of the podcast shares their personal experience and experiment with using saunas and ice tubs for 30 consecutive days. They discuss the challenges and benefits of these practices, including improved energy levels, body composition, and sleep. The host also explores different opinions and protocols around using saunas and ice tubs, emphasizing the continuous effort required to overcome the discomfort and the tremendous benefits gained.
The Limitations of Modern Science and Cosmology
The podcast delves into the limitations and challenges of modern science, specifically related to understanding the universe and cosmology. The guest, Bjorn Eckabur, discusses his interest in the philosophy of science and sheds light on the foundational assumptions and suppositions that underlie current cosmological theories. He highlights the nebulous nature of our knowledge at the boundaries of the universe and the importance of critically examining the premises of accepted scientific theories. The episode also touches upon the potential shifts and updates in cosmology due to new observations and data from telescopes like the James Webb Space Telescope.
The Power of Infrared Light and Its Impact on Healing
In this podcast episode, the speaker discusses the significant role of infrared light in harnessing the sun's energy to stimulate physiological processes in the body. It is revealed that near infrared lights have been proven to enhance the healing response of the body by stimulating mitochondria, the energy generators in cells. NASA's involvement in the early 2000s and decades of research support the efficacy of using specific wavelengths, primarily in the range of 800 to 870 nanometers. The speaker also emphasizes the importance of power density and duration of use, as excessive exposure or inadequate treatment might yield suboptimal results.
Understanding the Benefits and Applications of Infrared Light Therapy
This podcast episode delves into the potential benefits and applications of infrared light therapy. While the wide array of potential advantages can be overwhelming, specific focus is given to the targeted and portable device, Flexbeam, which utilizes near infrared light to provide effective light therapy. The speaker highlights its effectiveness in muscle repair and performance enhancement, making it particularly suitable for individuals with muscular-skeletal conditions or localized issues. Additionally, the ease of use and convenience of Flexbeam is emphasized, as it allows users to engage in daily activities while still benefiting from light therapy. Proper dosing is also discussed, suggesting that individuals should adhere to recommended treatment durations and avoid excessive use for optimal results.
