Quotes:

“The dosage that has been shown to be productive for a wide range of health benefits is a significant amount, particularly for deeper tissue benefits such as muscle aches and pains, helping with recovery, joint pain, and things of that nature.” [5:47]

“Thinking about light, it’s essentially nutrition for your cells. Just like you wouldn’t go weeks without eating or drinking anything, you shouldn’t go weeks without getting a significant amount of  natural light.” [10:46]

“Once people try it, they feel a difference. They may not have an interest to dig into the science, but most people who try it and give it a shot, they really can notice a difference, especially those individuals who are really in tune with their body.” [26:13]
