Light is a big part of our overall health. Light helps give your cells the energy they need to release ATP, produce collagen, and form new capillaries. But how many of us use light for more than to see where we are going?

In this episode of The Knowledge and Mileage Podcast, Kris sits down with Wes and Scott from Joovv, a company dedicated to enhancing your health with light therapy. They have created red light panels you can have in your own to use everyday. The effectiveness of red light therapy has been studied around the world and has shown that it may improve skin health, reduce joint pain, aid in fat loss, muscle recovery, improve thyroid function, increase testosterone, and much much more.
