Bryan Gohl is the co-founder of Red Light Rising, a trailblazing company among the world’s first to sell LED red light therapy products way back in 2017.

With 20 years in health and wellness, the last decade has been a personal mission—fixing his health through biohacking after vegetarianism made him seriously ill, leading him to Dave Asprey’s Bulletproof diet and red light therapy. Originally from South Africa, he spent 15 years in the UK, where the lack of sun and the lack of high-quality red light therapy products led Bryan to build his own, sparking profound benefits he now shares globally.

Based in Cape Town, he’s an original Health Optimisation Summit member, obsessed with researching red light therapy. On the podcast, he’ll unpack its basics, why light environment matters, usage tips, and benefits—making red light therapy easy to understand and implement for everybody.
