Summary

Hey Heal Squad! It’s Throwback Thursday, and today we’re bringing back a conversation that so many of you have been asking about, especially as more of us are diving into red light, infrared, and natural ways to support the body. Maria sits down with Connie Zack, co-founder of Sunlighten, to break down what infrared light actually is, how it works in the body, and why it’s becoming such a powerful tool for healing. From reducing inflammation and supporting detox to improving sleep, energy, and even mood, this episode really connects the dots on why light (yes, light!!) is something our bodies need more of. If you’ve been curious about red light, this is such a good one to start with!
