393: The Healing Secrets of Light for the Skin and the Heart | Connie Zack
In this illuminating episode of the Ancient Health Podcast, Dr. Christopher Motley sits down with Connie Zack, co-founder of Sunlighten, to explore the healing power of infrared therapy and its role in modern energy medicine.
Connie shares her deeply personal journey—how infrared saunas helped her brother recover from a serious illness and sparked her mission to bring this life-changing technology to the world. Together, she and Dr. Motley dive into the science behind infrared wavelengths and how they uniquely support the body on a cellular level.
Listeners will learn about:
The heart-health benefits of infrared therapy, including improved circulation and reduced blood pressure
The three types of infrared light and how each supports energy production, skin rejuvenation, joint recovery, and cardiovascular health
How consistent infrared use promotes deep sleep, lower stress, and enhanced immune support
Why Connie believes infrared is a form of energy medicine—a bridge between ancient healing traditions and cutting-edge science
This conversation is both educational and empowering, reminding us that wellness starts with tuning into the body’s natural rhythms—and sometimes, all it takes is a little light to spark profound change. Connie has generously provided our audience with a discount of 1,400 off a Sunlighten Sauna with this discount (scroll down for the discount): https://get.sunlighten.com/ancienthealthpod
