Summary
It’s time to sit down with Brian Richards, founder of SaunaSpace®, to explore the profound role light plays in our health and consciousness. After healing his own chronic issues through near-infrared sauna therapy, Brian became a pioneer in merging ancestral wisdom with modern light biology, and today’s conversation takes us deep into that world.
Brian breaks down why light is more essential than food, how near-infrared uniquely penetrates deep into the body to charge mitochondria, and why most of us are unknowingly light-deficient thanks to artificial indoor environments. We also get into the pitfalls of fragmented light (LEDs, fluorescents, low-E glass) and why full-spectrum near-infrared provides the “whole song” our biology craves, compared to the “one-note” effect of standard red light panels.
If you’ve ever wondered how to balance your relationship with the sun, reduce technology fatigue, and tap into nature’s original biohack for energy, sleep, mood, and longevity, this episode is a must-listen. Brian’s insights connect science, spirituality, and practical lifestyle shifts in a way that can radically transform your health and awareness.
