Healing Through Light: The Science of Red Light Therapy Explained with Kelly Bento of Soleilwell

In this enlightening episode of What Happens in Vagus with Dr. Steph, we sit down with Kelly Bento, Founder of Soleil Well and a leading voice in the innovation of circadian wellness and red light therapy. Kelly shares her deeply personal journey from navigating a family medical crisis to creating safe, effective red light therapy tools designed to support mitochondrial health, recovery, and overall vitality. Together, Dr. Steph and Kelly explore why light is more than just what we see, it’s the software that runs the hardware of our bodies. They discuss how modern environments have stripped us of vital near-infrared exposure, how to choose a safe and effective red light device, and the powerful ways this therapy can be used for everything from chronic illness to athletic performance and nervous system regulation. Listeners will gain practical insights into daily light hygiene, tips for integrating natural and supplemental light exposure, and how to protect themselves from harmful artificial light and EMFs. Whether you’re an athlete, a health seeker, or simply curious about the future of wellness, this episode is packed with science, stories, and solutions that illuminate the path back to nature’s rhythms. Please check out Soleil Well here and use code VAGUSCLINIC10 for 10% off.Let us know your thoughts on this episode hereFor any further information, feel free to email us at [email protected].  Our team is happy to help.  We offer 20-minute complimentary health calls, and you can sign up for one here.
