Ep. 7 Red Light - Just Ambient Lighting or Better?
Some of you may have seen that this episode is about red light and thought to yourself, "really, red light? isn't that a little clubby?". On today's episode of TWS, we'll dive into what red light is, how it works on the body and how it influences your skin and sleep, because there are way too many benefits to cover and those are what I'm assuming most of you are interested in. Without further ado, lets get into it!
