Summary
Welcome back to Biohacking! In today's episode, Kelsea and Rachael take a look into the "therapeutic window" of the Electromagnetic Spectrum and the benefits of light therapy. We know that different wavelengths of light have different therapeutic effects on the body, and as the wavelength increases, the deeper the light penetrates. Today, Kelsea and Rachael ride the waves of visible and invisible light on the spectrum to explore the effects light waves have on our skin tissue, circulatory system, peripheral nervous system, hair follicles, muscles, joints, bones and even the brain.
In this episode, Kelsea and Rachael review 3 "very hot" light therapy biohacking products in the market today: a Red Light Face Mask by Bon Charge, a HeatPod Sauna Blanket by Hydragun, and a 7 Color LED Light Therapy Wand by Fastaid. Tune in to hear about their experience with these products. Please note: Rachael and Kelsea are not scientists or professionals in the areas of light therapy. ALWAYS TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE IMPLEMENTING ANY OF THE BIOHACKING TOPICS WE DISCUSS IN THIS SERIES.
