In this episode, Babsi & Thomas of Luminousred speak about building a red light room in their home before they decided to start their own company. Thomas knows everything about light so it just made sense! In the past, both Babsi & Thomas had different health problems, including mood, burnout, and medical issues. After trying medicine and supplements, they realized that red light had the most significant impact. It inspired them to create their product for others.

We need light. Sunlight provides benefits for our body's processes; however, it can also harm your body. Red light is safer for our bodies and our bodies are more comfortable with reaping the benefits. These are some of the main advantages of red light therapy:

Skin health
Wound healing
Circulation
Less pain and inflammation
Hormonal health
Gut health

How does red light therapy help our gut? Red light therapy is beneficial to your gut microbiome & you apply the light to your abdomen. It can help the balance of good and bad gut microbiome. Basically, red light therapy will create balance & it's interesting to see how you can improve. Light will penetrate deep and alter biome in your gut lining.

Do you need to prepare for red light therapy? Make sure you are adequately hydrated before red light therapy. Thomas says that fat will help your body convert it to energy, like MCT oil, and make it easier to feel energized during red light therapy. Plus, Thomas & Babsi speak about how red light therapy is used for recovery. Olympic teams have a red light booth to put the athletes in before and after training. The red light will create heat protein for the muscle; therefore, less cellular death happens. Babsi recommends a whole body setup for athletic recovery. Stay tuned as Babsi & Thomas talk hormone health!

__________ Guest Bio:

We are Babsi and Thomas. We combined our professional expertise in lighting technology and psychology, sprinkled them with our experiences, and created a company that breaks down scientific research and offers high-end red light therapy devices.

In the simplest terms, with Luminousred, we created a company that breaks down scientific research and offers high-end at-home red light therapy devices. Usually, products in the field can run up to 140k dollars and are only used by Olympic athletes or NASA astronauts.

But to be honest, our true purpose goes far deeper than that. Due to health issues around two years ago, Thomas was in a situation in which his body suddenly lost its performance. Together we explored intensively on biohacking, and after many experiments, Thomas managed to make his body even more powerful. One major steppingstone here was red light therapy.

We are hackers at heart, and we see that technologies, like light hacking, are only going to become mainstream and used by everyday people a long time ahead of us. And that is a pity. That is why we want to make that technology accessible for everyone to incorporate into daily life. And people who take the plunge and get a device for themselves usually cannot grasp the full extent of research and the ideal individual usage of this technology because it is not shown to them in detail. This mixture of factors leads to vast incomprehension among them. We want to change that and want to use this promising technology and make it more accessible and understood.
