Researchers are studying how these wavelengths interact with cells, including processes involved in mitochondrial activity and cellular signaling. At the Institute for Human Optimization in Hanover, Maryland, the Regen Pod offers a way to incorporate whole body light therapy into a personalized wellness routine.
