## Resource

What if the single most overlooked “nutrient” for your brain, mood, and longevity… isn’t a supplement at all, but light? In this episode, Professor & Podcaster John Torrens sits down with Tom Kerber, CEO & Founder of SunPowerLED, to unpack four decades of working with light, from early blue LED dental devices to cutting‑edge red and near‑infrared therapy. Together, they explore how different wavelengths interact with your eyes, skin, mitochondria, and even your brain through the skull and how you can use that knowledge to feel and perform better every day. You’ll hear how our modern, indoor, LED‑lit lifestyle has quietly created a light‑deprived biology, what that means for sleep, mood, and cellular health, and practical ways to reclaim healthier light exposure without turning your life upside down. If you’re serious about longevity, performance, and nervous system health, this conversation will change the way you think about the light you live in. Tune in!
