What is the forgotten 1910 incandescent light therapy and how does it work?

Brian Richards 0:00
So if you get blue light only in the morning, like you wake up, let's say you're like, oh, I'm not looking at my phone first thing of the day, but you go into your bathroom, flick the LED light on because to go to the bathroom, you're programming your hormones to be stressed out and messed up. For men, if you get a lot of watching TV late at night, you can wake up the next day with half the testosterone level in your blood that you're supposed to have. And our mitochondria absolutely slow down in their efficiency when get too much blue light. One day is okay, but you do that every day. Yeah, it's it's horrible for fertility and just everything. We don't have any built in biological protection really from it.

And it causes oxidative stress. What's the antidote for this? If you're really dark skinned, you need more near infrared light than someone who's much more pale.
Dave Asprey 0:45
You're listening to the human upgrade with Dave Asprey. What if you could drink something every day that made your cells work better and gave you more energy, even better skin? It's called the Ageless Cocktail from Longevity Farms. Longevity Farms was started by two brothers, Joe and Mike Linares. The reason they did this is because they wanted to help their parents stay younger and they wanted themselves to be younger, so they went to work. Ageless Cocktail addresses multiple things you want in a longevity formula: things like NAD production. healthier cells, having more energy, having clarity in your brain, better skin, and just less aging. Instead of taking a handful of separate supplements, you could just take Adrian's cocktail.
Dave Asprey 1:29
That's because you're gonna get high doses of things like NMN, transverse feratrol, liposomal NAD plus, and creatine, taurine, and electrolytes, and you just get it in one scoop and it tastes good. No sugar, no artificial sweeteners, no additives, and it's third party tested for mold and heavy metals and all the other bad stuff. So go to get longevityfarms.shop and use code Dave. They'll give you twenty percent off your order. It's easy. Just put a scoop in water in the morning, drink it, and you feel better. Maybe you've got your nutrition right and you're sleeping well. You take the supplements, you do cold plunges, red light therapy, breath work, and a full stack of bioacting protocols. But why does the same health challenge keep showing up?
Dave Asprey 2:05
Tyler Watson studies this pattern. He says the missing piece isn't another supplement or surface level fix. Sometimes the issue is a hidden pattern in your body and something called cellular memory. Tyler made something called the cellular alignment technique. And he helps people identify what those patterns are so you can shift out of them and stop getting the same outcomes. So you're not chasing symptoms, you're chasing the underlying trigger of the symptom. If you want to understand what's driving you back into the same health and save years of time, money, and energy figuring it out, visit fastestchange.com. That's fastestchange.com. It's really interesting. You already probably figured out by now that I'm kind of a fan of
Dave Asprey 2:45
Light therapy. Uh started one of the first consumer light therapy companies uh that I I'm no longer active with. And I've been using it for almost 20 years. And you've also probably heard me talk about saunas and the benefits of heat exposure over the entire course of the podcast, including the first ten episodes, going, I think this is kind of a big deal, guys. Here's the here's the data. And since then, biohacking's become a mm, thirty six billion dollar industry, and you've heard newer biohackers on the scene talk about the incredible benefits of sauna that have been proven with old tech, like really old tech in Scandinavia and some newer studies as well.

How does near‑infrared light restructure water inside cells to boost mitochondria?

Dave Asprey 3:29
And uh for years we've talked about all the different ways you can get light into the body. But one of my favorite ways, and probably the most important way, other than sunlight itself, is good old fashioned incandescent. So I'm bringing an expert in incandescent light therapy as well as infrared sauna engineering.
