The wellness industry is flooded with red light therapy devices, but how do you separate the effective tools from the marketing hype? In this illuminating conversation with Bjorn Ekeberg, co-founder of Recharge Health, we uncover the science behind light therapy and explore why some devices deliver transformative results while others fall flat.

Did you know that near-infrared light can penetrate up to four inches into your body, reaching deep tissues, joints, and even organs? Or that the power output of a device is often more crucial than its wavelength specifications? Bjorn shares a simple but powerful rule of thumb: "If it doesn't have a fan, it's not strong enough." This insight helps explain why those inexpensive light therapy belts often fail to deliver meaningful results.

We dive deep into the cellular mechanisms at work, exploring how near-infrared light stimulates mitochondria—the energy centers that make up an astonishing 10% of your body weight. This cellular boost triggers cascading health benefits, from accelerated recovery and reduced inflammation to improved gut function and skin rejuvenation. Women experiencing perimenopausal or menopausal joint pain may find particular relief through targeted treatment, while athletes use it to prevent injuries and speed recovery from training.

The applications extend far beyond what most people realize. Recent research shows promising results for respiratory conditions (including post-COVID recovery), thyroid function, fertility concerns, and even cognitive performance through the gut-brain axis. Whether you're seeking pain relief, faster recovery, or preventive health support, understanding the science behind effective light therapy empowers you to make informed choices in this rapidly evolving field.
