It can improve the appearance of your skin, help you deal with pain and inflammation, and even boost your mood…
What I’m describing isn’t some previously undiscovered nutrient — I’m talking about red light.
My guest on today’s episode of The Dr. Gundry Podcast is Scott Nelson, the cofounder of JOOVV, a red light and near infrared light therapy startup. Just a few years ago, Scott was a self-admitted skeptic of the benefits of red light… until he started reading the science.
On today’s show, Scott and I are going to dive into the science behind red light therapy, how and why it could help YOU slow aging and heal faster, and a simple and free way to get many of those benefits today.
So tune in to this episode and learn all about the next big thing in health and longevity.

Dr. Steven Gundry is a renowned heart surgeon and New York Times bestselling author of “The Plant Paradox” and “The Plant Paradox Cookbook.”
Not sure if it’s possible for you to get him on your show, but Lars Frölander (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lars_Fr%C3%B6lander) would be a perfect fit. Known as the Avocado Man for eating up to 12 avocados a day, and cutting out milk, and drinking large daily green smoothies with spinach and kale, he overcame chlorine allergy to win the Gold Medal at the Sydney Olympics 2000 in the 100 meter Butterfly swimming.
He swam for some US University (I don’t know which one) at some time, to which he might still have ties, and does public speaking and podcasts in Sweden nowadays. I’d help you with more details if I could, but that’s about what I know. Maybe your book company has the resources to set up a transatlantic podcast interview.
