06 Apr Red Light Therapy Explained: What Dave Barrett Wants You to Know
On this episode of The Jeff Crilley Show, Jeff sits down with Dave Barrett, owner of Heat Wave Lux, to break down the growing interest in red light therapy and what most people misunderstand about it. Dave explains the key difference between infrared heat and true therapeutic red light, noting that many saunas deliver heat but not the cellular-level benefits people expect. He walks through how red light works at the mitochondrial level, why proximity to the light matters, and how it may help with inflammation, muscle recovery, and skin rejuvenation. The conversation also touches on athletic performance, aging, and Dave’s personal experience seeing the therapy help his brother manage symptoms of MS. Heat Wave Lux recently opened near The Star in Frisco and is hosting a grand opening event to introduce the community to its range of red light and infrared options.
