Light, Eye Development, and Youth

254: What if your biggest health problem isn’t your diet, your hormones, or your supplements… but your lack of light exposure? In this episode, I sit down with Brian Richards, founder of Sauna Space, to break down the real science behind infrared light, detox, and why your nervous system might be completely dysregulated. We talk about the power of incandescent light, how near infrared impacts your mitochondria, and why most modern lighting is quietly working against your health. I also share how I use electric light bath sauna therapy for chronic pain, autoimmune issues, and sleep, plus why this has become a staple in my overall health routine. If you’re struggling with fatigue, poor sleep, or feeling “off,” this conversation might completely change how you think about light.
