EP 031: Why Infrared Saunas Boost Health in Ways Traditional Saunas Can't - with Connie Zack



In This Episode

You don’t need to run marathons, swallow 20 pills a day, or “hack” your way to health. Sometimes the most powerful medicine is invisible—and feels like a warm embrace.


Connie Zack isn’t just a wellness entrepreneur. She’s a pioneer who helped bring infrared technology out of obscurity and into thousands of homes. Her company, Sunlighten, didn’t just build saunas—they engineered a complete biological upgrade system using light, heat, and frequency.


In this episode, we dive deep into how infrared works, why it goes way beyond sweating, and how it literally recharges your mitochondria, revives your mental state, and restores your cellular function—without you lifting a finger.


We talk toxicity, detoxification, electromagnetic safety, red light therapy, heavy metals, mental clarity, hydration, pain relief, flow state, and why sitting in one of these cabins might just be the most productive thing you do all week.


 

"One of the great benefits is that infrared helps you scientifically with depression. But what it also helps with is mental clarity and a boost of energy. It's a whole body benefit, from your brain all the way down." — Connie Zack
