What We Discuss with Bjorn Ekeberg:

Red light therapy has real, evidence-backed benefits — particularly for musculoskeletal pain, inflammation, and recovery — but the market is flooded with junk products like LED toothbrushes and shower heads that can't deliver a meaningful dose, threatening to discredit the legitimate science behind it.
The real power of light therapy lies in near-infrared wavelengths — not just visible red light. Red light works on the skin's surface, but near-infrared penetrates deeper into tissue, stimulating mitochondrial function and improving cellular efficiency — which is why the distinction matters more than most people realize.
NASA research in the early 2000s showed that without exposure to red and near-infrared light, astronauts' healing processes slowed dramatically — confirming that our bodies depend on these wavelengths the way plants depend on sunlight, a connection modern indoor life has severed.
The biohacking and wellness industry moves faster than the evidence, creating a cycle where legitimate therapies get buried under wild marketing claims — from hair regrowth caps to fat-melting irons — which trains consumers to dismiss everything as snake oil.
Consistency and correct dosing are the keys to real results with red light therapy — whether for pain, gut health, or even deep sleep improvement — so start with a targeted protocol, track your progress, and treat it like any other health habit that compounds over time.
And much more...
