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

Welcome back to the podcast, my friends. I'm your host Vanessa. And today's episode so excited for,

we're talking about my favorite strategies for navigating the holidays seamlessly, for feeling

great, being able to enjoy some holiday time, some indulging.

And what I personally do to make this a really easy time and not feel overly tempted or not

really fun topics, and I can't wait to get into it. So with a quick word from today's sponsor,

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
