Introduction

Should you combine red light therapy with sauna, or keep them separate for best results?

In this interview, I sit down with Brian Richards, founder of Sauna Space, to explore how his handmade incandescent saunas merge photobiomodulation with deep detoxification. From his story of overcoming adrenal fatigue to why near-infrared light penetrates deeper than far-infrared, Brian reveals why his Luminati and Faraday saunas are changing how people heal at home.

Alex interviews Brian Richards, CEO and founder of Sauna Space. They discuss Brian’s journey, the science behind incandescent near-infrared therapy, and how combining sauna heat with red light can create a synergistic healing experience.

Key Topics

  • Brian Richards’ Story – How adrenal fatigue, poor sleep, and skin issues led Brian to experiment with light-based saunas and launch Sauna Space.
