Summary
You’ve likely heard the buzz around photobiomodulation, but can light exposure significantly improve sleep, recovery, and performance?
Well, there are more than 15,000 studies exploring photobiomodulation as a healing modality, but despite an abundance of research, the effects of light for our health has been largely overlooked in the past few decades.
Now we’re becoming more aware of how artificial light can disrupt our circadian rhythm, but certain wavelengths of infrared and near infrared light used therapeutically can also have profound positive effects on our performance and overall well being.
And as we’ll discuss today, the uses for near infrared light go beyond health, to explore deeper mysteries in our cosmos.
I’m honored to be here with Bjørn Ekeberg, author of the groundbreaking book "Metaphysical Experiments," and Co-founder and CEO of Recharge Health, the creators of the world's first targeted infrared therapy device—the FlexBeam.
This episode with Bjørn gets heady, you’re going to dig this one. We're chatting about:
-
How to use near infrared light for rapid healing, deep meditation and down regulating our nervous system before sleep
-
Why athletes are using red light for recovery
-
How to counter the negative effects of artificial blue light
-
Why cosmology and our understanding of the nature of the universe is in a crisis
-
How near infrared is used to peer deeper into the cosmos
-
And tons more…

| 1:10.0 | But before we get there, if you're in search of vibrant health, one area that doesn't get enough attention is getting high |
| 1:16.4 | quality consistent sleep. For most of us the absurd amount of |
| 1:21.0 | artificial light hitting our eyeballs all night from phones, TVs, |
| 1:25.0 | tablets, and computers can jack up our circadian rhythm and wreak havoc on our health. |
| 1:30.4 | If it's not managed in some way, these pesky artificial lights beaming into our eyes can mess with our nervous systems causing eye strain and headaches and also disrupt our sleep patterns. |
| 1:41.0 | Now it would be great if we could just turn off all technology |
| 1:44.2 | and devices at sundown but that's not always a very realistic expectation for most |
| 1:48.6 | people myself included so here are a couple of ideas of other things that you could try. |
| 1:53.6 | Number one, check your device settings or look into installing an app that automatically |
| 1:57.7 | adjusts your display color to remove the blue light in the evening. |
