This week I discuss the growing trend of light therapy and its potential to improve physical and mental well-being. I explain that light therapy works by exposing the body to specific wavelengths of light that are absorbed by our cells, triggering biochemical changes and promoting healing and regeneration. The main benefits of light therapy include: - treating seasonal affective disorder, - combating hair loss, - wound healing, and supporting immune function. I also emphasize the importance of focusing on the basic pillars of health before considering light therapy as a biohack. I also mention the science behind red light therapy, including its ability to increase ATP production and reduce oxidative stress!
