Sunlighten Saunas & The Benefits of Infrared Sauna Therapy
00:00our body actually emits a 10 nmet light every cell that's what the mitochondria does it absorbs that light and transmits that light that's your metabolism so if you're not transmitting and receiving light your metabolism goes down specific wavelengths are like keys that unlock a Cascade of benefits that benefit every system in the body anti-aging detoxification heart health pain relief we can hack that you can set in your lights on us you put a button it does all the work and the thinking for you welcome to the brain Fitness podcast I'm your host Dr Patrick Porter please join us on our mission to better a billion brains enjoy the episode and remember to share it with your family and friends hey brain tap Nation this is Dr Patrick Porter I'm here at the biohacking conference Dave aspre is our one of our favorite events that we go to every year they had about 2,000 to 3,000 people here I don't know it's just crazy busy and what when I was walking around I saw
01:00one of my favorite things that I have in my clinic in Newburn North Carolina most of you have heard me talk about it it's my sunlight and SAA and they happened to be here and I said hey we need to get you on video because you guys all need to learn about this technology if you don't have a SAA in your home or in your practice this is the Sana that I recommend so Kindra thanks for being here thanks for having us yeah why don't you first of all tell us a little bit about your journey and why you're teaching people about light energy and they've heard me talk about how there's different ways that light gets into the body but the one thing that the one most important ingredient out there or the most missing nutrient is light right Dr cousins said that right so and I tell that to all of my clients when they go why do I need to do that because your cells need to be filled with energy so why don't you tell us about how the sunlight and SAA Works what got you involved with it and then we'll go from there and ask some other questions I love that you know that part about an infrared sauna because a lot of people people think it's just about the heat so
02:00infrared gives you the benefits of both light and heat which is such a beautiful thing and we our Founders first discovered this back in 1999 when her brother was struggling he had chronic fatigue mercury poisoning uh and all of the Cascade of bad things that come with that and was dying they were literally watching him life go out of him loss of abilities and his dentist actually recommended it in INF Fred sauna so he got in it and they watched over a period of time he got better and so the founders fell in love with it and they had been in the pharmaceutical industry and were excited to share something with the world that was a non-pharmacological solution so they built this company in their base
03:00and have done a lot of study and are so passionate about the science and the physics and understanding how to create the best infrared and initially in the far infrared wavelength they created they hired a specialist created a coding that was verified to emit the highest quantity and quality 99% emissive so the one that you have is that good then they created a dome and the Dome had this special coating and they were getting so much positive feedback they realized they had something special they started putting that in Cabins this was about 10 years ago they're reading about photobiomodulation and the benefits of near infrared delivered through LED technology and they wanted to add that in the physics of it make it impossible to deliver three wavelengths in one
04:00heater but hours do we looked at 37 clinical studies of how infared interacts with the body and took 57 data points from those studies and created recipes of light to address specific health benefits anti-aging and the our heers deliver a recipe of light for each of them you push a button it does all the work and the thinking for you and gives you the benefits of that Dr Michael Hamlin who's one of the foremost researchers and experts in infrared light he's on our Advisory Board and I love how he describes it's a systemic benefit right when light your our bodies are like cro uh solar panels and you have chromophor that love infrared especially water and
05:00mitochondria drink it up and specific system in the body which is just incredible so from a love of what it did for someone they loved and cared about to thousands and thousands of people now having stories of feeling better doing more of what they love and living more fully so those that have been following me she said a few things you've heard me say over and over again Dr Hamlin's book our science officer wrote the chapter on photobiomodulation in the brain and the in the brain with him Dr Francisco sedal that's why I hired him so our body actually emits a 10 nmet light every cell that's what the mitochondria does it absorbs that light and transmits that light and if we're not that's your metabolism so if you're not transmitting and receiving light your metabolism goes down
06:00so you can sit in the SAA we bought it at first because we wanted to have a way for people to do weight loss without exercise when you're obese you don't want to do exercise so and you you provided a study to us when my my wife's a really meticulous researcher before we buy anything and yours wasn't the the least expensive right but I've never done the least expensive I wanted the best that I could capture the best quality and what was that and you had the research that showed when people sat in this SAA for 45 minutes over I think it was a 30-day period or something like that they would start to lose weight or they would lose weight along the way we put it into our Salon which was called santis and it was a mythical place we the story was that it was outside of Atlantis because I think light is the next Evolution and since then even uh I always look for ancient traditions in modern technology and uh when I went to India they they were talking about chromos therapy and in the vas they talk about uh if you had a mental illness
07:0010,000 years ago in India put they they would they didn't know really about SAS cuz also logs burning logs emits infrared light right but the what they would do is they would have you sit outside for two hours and now in science we know those are the most infrared light hit the planet from the Sun so we can hack that we don't have to wait for those two hours in the morning you can set in your lights on we can do it so tell me a little bit about some of the other research that you've seen because there's a lot of people out there doing this but you've like you said you you you have a passion your company sunlight and sinus has a passion for research and then sharing that with their community so and Dr Hamlin you couldn't go with a better Source right he's the man wonderful so uh tell me a little bit more about what you where where you're at now because you're you're always having evolutions of of the infrared and what's going on and our our body does need that it like absorbs it we we transmit it the more energy we have the more we're capable of doing the work that we need to during the day but what
08:00are you finding with the SAA that you you're most passionate about as a company developing and learning well one of the things that we're so excited to see happening is the work of Dr Ashley Mason and uh Dr Charles Ron with depression and using an infrared sonod do to address issues in the brain without medicine right and uh so we're we're excited to see the results of that study that's going on right now because everything leading up to it has been pointing in a direction that infrared is amazing for major depressive disorder studies all over the world the happiest people on Earth are sitting in s right in sunshine in sunshine yeah dror Sunshine is important so we can't even get it outside they've done they've done studies where people have been outside all day now because of all the pollution we have they're not getting that sunlight so we can we can
09:00basically mimic those healing frequencies of the Sun and do it where do we see sunlight and SAS a year five years from now what's the big mission well we are developing a very exciting we're sort of honing in on this smart technology we've added red light to the near infrared panel uh to enhance the benefits of the near and red and this app we have that manages those wavelengths is just getting more and more advanced and taking us more places we want to develop more programs we have um developing a mobile app that is expanding what we can do outside communicating with your sauna bringing in content like meditation and programming with Partners to enhance the Sonic experience pair it with other modalities I know if you get the sunlight and SAA what we do they it came
10:00with a Android tablet so we just put our app on there and they can sit in there and they can because you're getting so much light you don't actually need the brain tap you can wear it in there some people do but you can just do the meditation in there and people love it because now they're not just sitting there for 30 minutes wondering what's going on and you don't want to be looking at your phone CU you're trying to heal you want your you want your parasympathetic lit up not your sympathetic so there's a lot of great things you can do with light and and and you're the leader really I mean when when people when I talk to our doctors most of them that have it do have sunlight and saas so um when we're looking toward the future where should people go to follow you and what's going on with sunlight and SAA well you can always see what we're up to on Instagram and Facebook and our website we want to be a resource for people so sunlight. comom okay so you're here at biohacking
11:00what are you finding the biohackers are finding out what are how are they using it because they're usually a really unique group they're we see them doing things like using ours and cold plunges and all sorts of crazy things and they they seem to push the limit on everything have you seen any of that and what you're doing with the sunlight and Stu gosh it's been overwhelming just feeling the love from the bioh hacking Community people coming up who have their just want us to know how much they love it how much they enjoy that Sanctuary space in their home um yeah just the excitement and love of it what have I not asked you about the sunlight and SAA that you think brain tap Nation needs to learn about so I want you all to take action go learn about this because I believe everyone needs to be in a SAA when I'm at home I do it every day and there's not a day that doesn't go by it's part of my morning ritual because I know that U I know what it does epigenetically to my body and so when you think about the cells and
12:00what's going on we need to fill those cells up so that we can like you heard me say before the prehab so you know why wait for a hurricane to fortify the building you know you can fortify yourself each morning so um tell me a little bit about how that works in in the sunlighten world we live in such a push push push society and that is great we are pushing ourselves to new levels but that go go go sometimes it's hard you are in this world too of giving yourself permission to rest recharge and SAA is a beautiful gift to yourself to provide a a space and time for that right so give yourself permission first go research sunlight and sonas then if you can is there a way they can go to somebody locally is there is there any list of V people that have it or do they we we are in spas and gyms and Wellness Center ERS all over the country and we
13:00can help you find that yeah yeah so if you're in the market for one and you can't go to the biohacking conference although I've seen you at other conferences to the sunlight and saas if you just put in hashtag sunlight and you'll see all of the top biohackers using the SAA and things of that nature so if you're ready to take your health to the next level this is one of the musthaves it's one of my non-negotiables when I when I work with somebody when somebody says what do you need to have in a spa to really transform people's lives I believe the physiology has to match the psychology so we got to get the body participating in that healing so congratulations on what you're doing and and changing the world with light I think that's the next Evolution that's why we use it at brain tap and we're really big into light sound and vibration and you're leading the way in in the infrared roll it's exciting that you now have uh red light therapy with it because I know some people put their red light panels in the SAA as well I've seen that on Instagram and I've been trying to convince my wife to do that but we have red we have a red light bed too so we can do this every day you know
14:00and we've shown how the cells build up and and keeping somebody physically fit and strong so we're going to share this with the world we're going to get it out to them please research infrared and near infrared and sunlight's like the only one when we were researching back we bought ours over 10 years ago I think but it's um and it's still working fine and it's still doing great we we actually got one that had color therapy in it too so you could have the Chronos therapy yeah and that's going to help your mood and things of that cuz colors do different things so we like that and that was pretty cool because of course being santis we wanted anything to do with light if you're feeling any of these depressive symptoms anxiety these kind of disorders it could be a cellular problem not enough energy we also find people sleep better because it's an energy problem it's not always that your brain's not working right you you just don't have enough energy to sleep just like children I tell people we all know children they go oh they're so they're too tired to sleep well there's a lot of adult adults out there there that are too tired to sleep and it has to do with
15:00the energy at the mitochondrial level the best way to get it in there because of all the people's compromised guts and things like that is light let's get it in there let's get you healthy getting the body and the mind working together if you're doing somatic therapies the SAA we we have had people tell us it has helped them break loose like somehow their body is making a connection with the somatic therapy right well we know physiologically that our our brain or our mind Consciousness stores things in our body like a hard drive yes so that's why we have psychosomatic disorders so sometimes they get locked in there's no energy just like we have neuro uh activity in the brain we have that everywhere in our body every cell is communicating with the other cells so we need to unlock that but you need energy to do that if you don't have energy the body just starts to shut down so this is a way once you get the energy in there you get high Vibe thoughts you get more activity you're more energized doing these things thank you thankk you for being here Shing sharing your mission
16:00with brain and we're out there to better a billion brains and this is one way to better your brain because your nervous system is 70% in your brain but we need to get that energized through the physiology as well so your brain thinks acts and performs and sleeps better so please share this with your family friends anyone you know that you might be thinking those ideations of depression or anxiety or stress because it's been clinically proven that doing these kind of therapies helps that and it's it's when you said they in the pharmaceutical industry they still are because when you do these kind of things the brain the most powerful Pharmacy on Earth starts to release the neurochemicals that we need to actually feel good and that's why people are happy because they're in a physiological state where they can activate them so thank you very much we'll look forward to hearing about you the next time we're together thank you thank you for joining brains follow at Dr Patrick Porter on social media for updates and remember to practice brain Fitness every
