On today’s show we host Brian Richards, the founder of Sauna Space, who produce a range of portable infrared light and heat therapy devices. These come in the form of desk lamps and portable tents for use at home. Brian came upon this business after seeking solutions to his own health problems, and found that near infrared light helped solve his insomnia almost immediately. This experience, coupled with the gap in the market that he noticed, prompted him to found the company, and we are very happy to speak to him about his flagship products and what is surely going to be a booming business. During our chat we break down the health benefits of sauna therapy as well as compare inferior and more common instances of these practices. The foundation of heat and light therapy is mirroring the experience of our ancestors, much like a Paleo diet does with food, so this makes a lot of sense to us here at Paleo Magazine. Listen in to hear more!
