from fitNERD · host Abbey Bell

What if light — literal light — could help your body heal faster, move better, think clearer, and recover stronger?In this episode, we’re diving into red light therapy 🔴 — what it is, why it works, and why it’s becoming one of the most talked-about tools in recovery, wellness, and longevity. This isn’t woo-woo… it’s cellular science.We break down: • What red and near-infrared light actually do inside your cells • How light impacts mitochondria (your energy factories) • Why red light supports muscle recovery, joint health, skin, and inflammation • How it can help with hormones, sleep, and nervous system regulation • Why humans were designed to interact with light • How to use red light safely and effectively (without overdoing it)We’ll also talk about how modern life pulled us away from natural light — and how red light therapy may help restore something we’re missing.Ancient wisdom meets modern science in this episode — and once you understand how light communicates with your body, you’ll never look at recovery the same way again.Turn on the light… and let’s get into it ✨
