Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 670
How does photon consciousness elevate human awareness?
Brian Richards, Founder of SaunaSpace, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 670, to share why he finds inspiration in ancient teachings, how near-infrared light improves our health and increases our awareness, why we're beings of light, and how photobiomodulation corrects DNA.
“The light reminds us that we create our own light. We're much more electromagnetic and quantum than we are chemical or biological. The knowledge we had of ourselves, energy work, and internal alchemy is something so profound that we're just beginning to circle back and remember now.” – Brian Richards

ThermaLight® technology combines the finest tungsten filaments, mouth-blown red-stained glass, and years of engineering to produce a full-spectrum infrared light that mimics the best of nature.
Benefits: Compact and portable, hypoallergenic, tool-free assembly, wheelchair accessible, machine-washable cover, minimalist design, ZERO EMFs.
All saunas have the same goal: to raise your core body temperature enough to jump-start its natural healing processes.
Traditional saunas use steam, fire, or electric heaters to make the air in the sauna hot, which eventually heats up your body from the outside in. Infrared saunas tap into the science of light to help you sweat faster and more comfortably.
Why Near-Infrared Saunas?
Unlike the traditional methods, near-infrared (NIR) light works with your body’s biology to create radiant heat—from the inside out. By using near infrared’s shorter wavelengths in a way that mimics natural sunlight, the light penetrates deeply to raise your core temperature faster.
Near-infrared saunas give you:
- Ultrafast heat therapy
- Comfortable air temperatures
- Built-in light therapy
- Faster sauna sessions

Power Quotes From The Show
We Are Not Getting Enough Sunlight
“The average American gets 5 to 7 minutes of sunlight a day going out to their car and going to work. We're really deprived of the things that keep us resilient and also allow us to be high frequency and multidimensional.” – Brian Richards
Head VS Heart
“In our individuality, we're this collection of consciousness units, that has decided to have this experience in conjunction with the instrument of a biological form that we sit in. And the two are the same thing. So when we talk about our head versus our heart, and decisions of the heart versus decisions of the mind, it's all different aspects of the same thing.” – Brian Richards
Align with Your Highest Self
“The more you do what's aligned with your highest and best self, the more you're true to yourself, the more meaning you have in your life, the more purpose you have, the more happiness, the more health, the more connection, the more wellness and wisdom you have. It's all coming from within.” – Brian Richards

About Brian Richards
Brian Richards is a nationally known expert in sauna therapy, light science, and EMF science.
In 2013, he founded SaunaSpace®, a company that combines cutting-edge incandescent infrared technology with the age-old practice of sauna.
In 2008, Brian faced an important health decision: start taking pharmaceuticals for insomnia, adrenal fatigue, and other health issues or try full-spectrum sauna therapy coupled with ancestral practices like a clean diet, proper sleep, and yoga.
By opting for the natural approach, Brian rapidly transformed his health. This life-changing experience inspired him to create SaunaSpace®.
In his journey to develop the perfect product, Brian has immersed himself in the science and research behind light, heat, electromagnetism, and the human body.
14 years later, he brings a refreshing approach to natural living, biohacking, and natural health transformation.
