Ready to cut through the noise on red light therapy?
This BEST OF episode brings back one of the most comprehensive, myth-busting conversations ever aired on IWP. Here I sit down with Andrew LaTour, founder of GembaRed, and one of the most research-driven voices in the light therapy space.

We dive deep into the real science behind red and near-infrared light, how it impacts the body, and what most companies (and influencers) get wrong. Whether you're just getting started or looking to refine your practice, this conversation is your go-to resource.

Some of What We Cover:

• The basics of red light therapy (photo biomodulation)
• Red vs. near-infrared vs. far-infrared
• Cellular & mitochondrial health benefits
• How to dose correctly
• EMFs, flicker, and other overlooked risks
• Using RLT for pain, inflammation, skin health, wound healing & more
• Contraindications (tattoos, implants, cancer, medications)
• Are red light bulbs and heat lamps effective?
• Industry honesty & informed consent concerns
• What to actually look for in a quality device

What if you’re not actually living…just holding it all together?

In this powerful episode, I sit down the founder of She’s In Power, Tania Khazaal, for a raw conversation about what happens when women stay in survival mode for too long. We talk about the nervous system toll of hustle culture, the emotional cost of staying silent to “keep the peace" within family and marriage, how self-worth and power slowly erode when we’re on autopilot, and SO much more.

We also explore what it looks like to reclaim your voice, your vitality, and your God-given power...without trading one part of yourself to keep another alive.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re disappearing inside the life you worked so hard to build, this one’s for you.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Dr. Adam Urato, a practicing Maternal-Fetal Medicine Specialist and Harvard-trained physician who is breaking the silence on what he has seen over decades of working with pregnant women and their babies.

Dr. Urato has been on the front lines of high-risk pregnancies, and what he has witnessed compelled him to compassionately speak up. He is now actively challenging the FDA to update the labeling on SSRIs (commonly known as antidepressants), due to their potential impact on fetal development.

But keep in mind, this conversation is not just for pregnant women.

It is for anyone who has ever trusted a prescription, followed medical advice without question, or wondered why our healthcare system continues to spend more while producing some of the worst outcomes among developed nations.

In this episode, we explore:

• The real risks of antidepressant use during pregnancy
• What the science actually says and why it is often buried
• How regulatory bodies and pharmaceutical companies shape the narrative
• Why informed consent is more critical than ever
• How the system is working for profits, not health

This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to make truly informed choices about their body, their healthcare, and their family.
