Red Light Therapy

Daily exposure to red (630–660nm) and near-infrared (810–850nm) light using LED panels. Stimulates mitochondrial energy production, improves skin, accelerates muscle recovery, boosts testosterone, and supports thyroid function. Used by Bryan Johnson, Ben Greenfield, and Andrew Huberman.

Why this habit matters

Physical: Stimulates collagen production, reduces inflammation, accelerates wound and muscle healing, supports hormonal balance including testosterone.
Mental: Reduces depression symptoms in clinical trials, improves sleep when used as evening red-only light; supports brain function via mitochondrial health.
Productivity: Morning sessions boost mitochondrial energy production; reduced recovery time means more consistent training and output.
