Episode 194 - Why red light therapy is the best therapy you've never heard of

A lot of times, when we think about improving our health and wellness it's easy to focus on the things that we put into our bodies - the liquids we drink, the food that we eat - but people often ignore the light that they are subjecting their bodies to.

Companies are realizing that the blue light coming from the screens that we use every day, is dangerous to one’s body, and now they’re trying to limit our exposure to it.

On the other hand, the red light spectrum is beneficial for our health, and Justin and his team, have dedicated their lives to bringing awareness of the advantages of using light therapy for improving your body altogether.

Justin Strahan is the co-founder of Joovv, a global company that delivers the science of light therapy at your door, providing life-changing red and infrared light therapy devices. Before inventing and developing the Joovv, he spent his career as an engineer managing design and development teams.
