Welcome to the Optimal Protein Podcast. I'm Vanessa Spina. Hello, my friends. Welcome back to the Optimal

Protein podcast. I am so excited to be here with you today because we're talking about another

really interesting biohack that has shown some promising results in terms of deepening ketosis and fat oxidation, fat burning.

And we're going to talk about all of the different mechanisms behind saunas and heat exposure.

We talked about cold exposure and cold immersion therapy and cryotherapy and how being exposed

to the cold does a lot of really interesting things

for the body and today we're talking all about the opposite which is being exposed to heat

and what it can do for us especially with regards to longevity and so many of the mechanisms

that we pursue when it comes to ketosis in terms of overall feeling great, having

amazing health, metabolic health, increasing our longevity, and our vitality through a number

of protective mechanisms that are activated, some protective genes that are activated and

some proteins. We're going to talk all about

the science behind it in an easy to understand way and just some of the mechanisms that are

conferring these amazing benefits that are all really related back to stress. So that's what

we're talking about on today's episode. I can't wait. 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
