Brian Richards | The Science Behind Infrared Saunas: Can Near-Infrared Light Repair Your DNA? Apr 08, 2025

Show notes

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 730

Could your DNA hold a hidden superpower that’s just waiting to be activated by light?

Brian Richards, Founder of SaunaSpace, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 730, to uncover how near-infrared saunas can help cleanse toxins, support brain function, and even raise your vibrational frequency, and why embracing your innate power to heal is the ultimate path to true freedom.

"One of the effects of photobiomodulation is to correct gene transcription = how the DNA is read. The DNA and the epigenetics are being fixed in a much more powerful way with the near-infrared light than they're being damaged by the ultraviolet component of the sunlight. But indoors, we only use damaging light. There's none of the healing light anymore. So to bring ourselves back into balance, we need to get a lot more near-infrared light. And the incandescent bulb uniquely presents itself as a way to do that." - Brian Richards

In This Episode, Brian Richards Uncovers:

(00:55) Your DNA Creates Light
(04:05) Choose Compassion Over Judgment
(06:30) Redefining Biohacking
(14:15) The Benefits of Red Light Therapy
(18:00) Infrared Sauna VS Regular Sauna

Show notes

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 726

What if the greatest threat to your success isn’t the world around you, but the self-sabotaging lies in your mind?
