About this episode

309: In today’s episode, I’m joined by Brian Richards, founder of SaunaSpace, to explore why light may be one of the most overlooked factors in our health. We discuss the differences between sunlight, red light therapy, infrared saunas, and modern LED lighting, and how each one impacts energy, sleep, detoxification, and overall wellness. Brian explains how light affects your energy, sleep, detoxification, mitochondrial health, and longevity, while sharing easy tips to create a healthier light environment at home. → SaunaSpace | For the next week, Realfoodology loyal listeners can get an exclusive 15% off when you go to https://sauna.space/ and use code REALFOODOLOGY at checkout.
