In this episode of Bulletproof Radio, our guests are Justin Strahan and Scott Nelson, the co-founders of a company called Joovv. Joovv is taking the clinical research behind the healing benefits of red and infrared light therapy and turning that into practical devices that you can use at home.
Scott and Justin have a combination of expertise that is truly unique. Scott focuses on the biology of how this stuff works and Justin has spent years doing design and engineering. So, in this episode, we talk about the clinical studies, ways to control your cellular biology, and what light actually does to our bodies.
If you have read Head Strong or listened to the other podcast episodes about light, you’ll know that light is one of the big signals your body listens to all the time. It is like any another nutrient that comes into your body – so you need to be choosy.
Enjoy the show!
