In this illuminating episode of the Ancient Health Podcast, Dr. Christopher Motley sits down with Connie Zack, co-founder of Sunlighten, to explore the healing power of infrared therapy and its role in modern energy medicine.

Listeners will learn about: The heart-health benefits of infrared therapy, including improved circulation and reduced blood pressure The three types of infrared light and how each supports energy production, skin rejuvenation, joint recovery, and cardiovascular health How consistent infrared use promotes deep sleep, lower stress, and enhanced immune support Why Connie believes infrared is a form of energy medicine—a bridge between ancient healing traditions and cutting-edge science This conversation is both educational and empowering, reminding us that wellness starts with tuning into the body’s natural rhythms—and sometimes, all it takes is a little light to spark profound change.
