In this episode of Over 50 & Flourishing, I sit down with Bjørn Ekeberg, co-founder and CEO of Recharge Health, to unpack the science behind one of the fastest-growing wellness trends today: red light and near-infrared therapy. While many of us know red light for its cosmetic benefits, Bjørn explains why near-infrared light may be even more powerful when it comes to reducing inflammation, supporting recovery, improving sleep, boosting cellular energy, and helping the body heal itself naturally.
I also share my own experience using the FlexBeam for knee pain and inflammation, and we talk about how wearable light therapy devices are making these treatments more practical and accessible for everyday life.

| 0:15.5 | Hi, welcome to the podcast. |
| 0:17.3 | Today's conversation is one I think many of you are going to find fascinating because we're |
| 0:21.6 | talking about something that's been getting a lot of attention lately, but it's not always explained |
| 0:27.1 | in a way that actually makes sense. I'm talking light therapy. What is it? How does it work? |

| 1:15.9 | And what I love about this conversation is that this isn't about chasing youth. |
| 1:18.7 | It's about optimizing how we feel, how we move, |
| 1:22.6 | and how we show up in our lives, especially in this season. |
| 1:24.2 | So let's get to it. |
| 1:31.5 | Hello, Bjorn. |
