DeepSummary
In this episode, Dr. Tina Moore interviews Brian Richards, the founder and CEO of SaunaSpace. Brian discusses the development of SaunaSpace's specially designed bulbs that emit a firelight spectrum similar to sunlight, with a focus on near-infrared light that deeply penetrates the body. He explains how near-infrared light provides numerous health benefits, including promoting melatonin production, reducing inflammation, and optimizing cellular function.
Brian emphasizes the importance of getting sufficient near-infrared light exposure, as modern lifestyles often deprive us of this essential light spectrum. He contrasts the benefits of incandescent light bulbs, which mimic the full spectrum of sunlight, with the potential harm of blue light emitted by LED bulbs. Brian also discusses the detoxification and life-extending benefits of regular sauna use, and how the SaunaSpace sauna combines light therapy with heat therapy.
Throughout the interview, Brian stresses the importance of intuition and listening to one's body when it comes to using saunas and light therapy. He encourages an individualized approach rather than adhering to strict protocols. The episode also touches on topics such as the misguided fear of sun exposure, the potential toxicity of sunscreens, and the craftsmanship and intention behind SaunaSpace's products.

Top Episodes Quotes
- “Near infrared light is a photo protective effect against ultraviolet light. So you get near infrared light early in the morning from the sauna, from the photon light, and it, it galvanizes your cells against getting sunburned from ultraviolet lights called photoprotection.“ by Brian Richards
- “Essentially all that is just another, another example of all this poison that were exposed to, that were ingesting from our environment, from our synthetic products we use in our home and our synthetic soaps to the vault, organic chemicals and everything we use to now nanoparticles, nano microplastics, but also graphene oxide and quantum dot technology. So real actual nanoparticles that our ancestors didn't know what to deal with.“ by Brian Richards
- “The solution is not to avoid the sun. The solution is to understand what we're talking about here and to detox.“ by Brian Richards
- “It turns out that the sun can satisfy, like, 70% of your caloric requirement, so that you would only need to eat like, one third of what you eat if you got, like, hours of sunlight every day.“ by Brian Richards
