Welcome to the Optimal Protein Podcast. I'm Vanessa Spina.

Hello, my friends. Welcome back to the podcast. I'm your host, Vanessa, and this is a very special

episode, I guess the last episode of 2022. I can hardly believe it, but on today's episode,

we are going to continue to talk about red light therapy,

all the incredible benefits and how it works. And also, how do I structure my daily routine

in terms of all the different biohacks that I've been doing to really sync up with my

circadian biology, my natural circadian rhythm, and we're going to delve into all of that

on today's episode. So with a quick word from our sponsor,

let's get into today's episode. Hi, friends. I want to tell you about a very important nutrient

that many of us are deficient in and not even aware of it. And that nutrient is light and specifically

red light. I am so passionate and obsessed with the incredible

amount of science behind red light therapy's ability to support our mitochondrial health.

Now, our mitochondria, as you probably know, are responsible for helping us to do pretty much

everything in our bodies at the cellular level. Now, when it comes to

energy levels, our immunity, our skin health and beauty, and even our metabolic health and fitness,

so much is connected back to our mitochondria's ability to function optimally. Now, we talk on this

podcast all the time about different

strategies from exercise, intermittent fasting, doing resistance training, and getting lots of

autophagy and all the science behind mitochondrial biogenesis or the creation of new mitochondria.

But one of the best ways to actually support our mitochondria is using red light therapy

and we can do that in the comfort of our own homes with red light therapy panels now red light

is a wavelength that is in the sun naturally but so many of us spend over 90% of our time indoors
