Hello everyone welcome to the Dr Nirvana Podcast™, I’m Dr. Nirvana!  

There’s a certain type of light that I wanted to discuss today that’s vital to our body’s healing powers. 

Known for its remarkably powerful form of energy, red light provides incredible benefits to your body. On today's episode I discuss which parts of your health it impacts, how and my favorite red light device on the market today.
