Hi guys, it's Tony Robbins. You're listening to Habits & Hustle. Crush it.
Before we dive into today's episode, I first want to thank our sponsor, Therasage. Their tri-light panel has become my favorite biohacking thing for healing my body. It's a portable red light panel that I simply cannot live without. I literally bring it with me everywhere I go.
And I personally use their red light therapy to help reduce inflammations in places in my body where, honestly, I have pain. You can use it on a sore back, stomach cramps, shoulder. ankle, red light therapy is my go-to. Plus, it also has amazing anti-aging benefits, including reducing signs of fine lines and wrinkles on your face, which I also use it for.
I personally use Therasage Trilight everywhere and all the time. It's small, it's affordable, it's portable, and it's really effective.

By the way, this is like take 10 with Michael Chernow, who is my very dear friend. The first time we tried to do this podcast, the lighting was bad and the sound, so we couldn't post it. He thinks I'm like full of hot air, but it's actually true.
Not hot air. Can I curse on this thing?
I don't know. It depends on what you're going to say. Shit. Full of shit on that one. It is not full of shit. If you remember correctly, it was the same guy that did your podcast who filmed that. Remember, Mike, my normal person was not available. Yeah. And we had to use that guy that you used on your podcast who also didn't do the colors well.
And the color correction was... You know, we can point fingers all day here, Jen. But...
Speaking of, I actually have really been interested in this.
