## Resource

Red light therapy (RLT) is everywhere right now, from recovery studios and wellness clinics to at-home panels and full-body beds. But does the science actually support the hype? In this episode, Vanessa sits down with Taryn Richardson, creator of the Red Light Therapy for Athletes Evidence-Based Masterclass, along with coach Elizabeth James, to unpack what endurance athletes really need to know about red light therapy. They break down the biology behind RLT, explain how it works, and explore the evidence-based benefits for performance, recovery, and injury healing. Elizabeth also shares her firsthand experience using red light therapy during injury recovery, including the surprising benefit she noticed before anything else. If you’ve been curious about red light therapy but feel overwhelmed by the marketing claims, this episode delivers a practical, science-backed guide to what’s real, what’s promising, and how athletes can use it effectively.
