Are Tanning Beds Safe, the Crazy Future of Red Light Therapy & the “Sun Sandwich” concept, Robot Massages, Korean Face Masks & More With Kris Sweeting.

What I Discuss with Kris Sweeting:

• How Kris developed vitiligo at age three, spent years trying every treatment, and eventually re-pigmented his entire body thanks to a breakthrough German therapy combining pseudocatalase cream and narrowband UVB light…04:03
• Founding a company that recreates the same healing light through safe, narrowband UVB panels…07:12
• How combining morning and evening red light with midday sunlight creates the ideal routine for skin health, while cutting back on seed oils may help prevent sun-related skin damage…10:32
• How Kris designs light therapy devices using specific red and near-infrared wavelengths to boost mitochondrial function, enhance cellular energy, and support overall health…15:46
• Kris’s creation of the world’s first full-body laser acupuncture light panel, designed to target energy points with powerful light and built for safe, everyday use…24:25
• How his red light panels have low EMF and zero flicker, allowing users to stand safely at a distance while still getting a strong therapeutic dose…29:34
• Kris’s bold claim that most red light panels are basically the same, why he believes his Ultron device stands apart, and how it gained attention from the Kardashians without any paid promotion…33:30
• Kris’s take on real vs. “marketing” in terms of the red light world, why he uses trusted Philips bulbs for safety, and how using light therapy in the right dose is key to getting the benefits without overdoing it…44:14
• How Kris launched a skincare line with LED face masks and science-backed topicals from South Korea, an idea inspired by the late founder of DECIEM, the billion-dollar beauty brand sold to Estée Lauder…49:52
• How Kris’s LED mask uses red light to reduce wrinkles and green light to fade dark spots, and how pairing it with ingredients like CoQ10 or methylene blue may enhance both skin repair and energy…58:03
• Kris’s bold expansion into light therapy innovation, including a UV-disinfecting robot that kills viral DNA as it moves through the home…1:04:27

In this episode, you’ll get to explore the fascinating world of photobiomodulation and cutting-edge light therapy with one of its true innovators, Kris Sweeting. You’ll dive deep into the science, application, and surprising real-world stories behind the red, UVA, and UVB light devices that are making waves in health, wellness, and even the celebrity circuit.

Kris Sweeting is the founder of EMR-TEK, a company leading the way in the development of advanced red light therapy panels and devices. What sets Kris apart isn’t just his entrepreneurial spirit—it’s the personal journey that prompted his innovations. Diagnosed with vitiligo as a child, Kris spent years navigating a sea of ineffective treatments before finally finding success with narrowband ultraviolet B (UVB) phototherapy. His transformative experience pushed him to reimagine what’s possible with light, not just for repigmenting skin, but for mitochondrial function and overall human health.

We also get into some controversial and rarely-discussed topics: What happens when you combine red light with seed oils or oxidized fats in your diet? Are all red light panels on the market basically the same, or are there key differentiators? Should you be worrying about EMFs from your light therapy device, and what’s up with terms like “full spectrum,” “broadband,” and “narrowband”?

To top it all off, Kris gives you a sneak peek into his newest ventures, from facial masks designed for synergistic cosmetic enhancement to robots that could disinfect your house with UV-C light.

Whether you’re interested in getting the most from light therapy for your brain, skin, or mitochondria—or you want to geek out over the bleeding edge of biohacking tech—you’ll find a treasure trove of insights in this episode.
