Dave Asprey, widely recognized as the Godfather of biohacking, founded TrueLight to harness red and near-infrared light for transformative health results. After overcoming chronic fatigue, brain fog, arthritis, toxin-related injuries, and dramatic weight gain, he discovered red light therapy in the early 2000s, using an experimental infrared device to heal his brain and revitalize his cellular energy.
His personal transformation, recovering from mold exposure, traumatic brain injury, and systemic inflammation, lit the spark for his mission. He began using infrared and red light to reboot his mitochondrial function, accelerate healing, and reduce inflammation. That experience inspired TrueLight, combining red, near-infrared, and amber wavelengths in clinical-grade panels engineered for skin rejuvenation, pain relief, and muscle recovery.
Light is a massive signal for the brain, the skin, and every cell in your body. Red light, generally, is going to make you feel better and look better.

More than two decades of daily use have proven the point. Red and near-infrared light deliver anti-inflammatory effects, stimulate collagen, speed wound healing, and support deeper systemic regeneration. Dave still considers red light one of the few biohacks he has never given up.

Red light therapy benefits you can feel and see.
Skin & anti-aging.
Red and deep red are the most studied wavelengths for skin. Smoother texture, firmer tone, softer lines, built with consistency.
Pain & inflammation.
Near-infrared reaches the muscle and joint tissue where soreness and stiffness live, calming the signals that drive pain.
Muscle recovery.
Light your worked muscles after training to quiet the soreness and damage that make recovery drag on.
Sleep & wind-down.
The benefit customers mention first. Unlike screen light, red and near-infrared do not suppress melatonin, so it fits an evening routine.
Everyday energy.
The same mitochondrial mechanism behind the benefits above, felt as steadier day-to-day energy and cellular support.
Dave's vision: biohacking through light.
Dave sees controlled light exposure as a way to hack your environment and tune your biology, from optimizing circadian rhythms to improving mitochondrial respiration. He treats red light as a daily cornerstone of any human-upgrade routine.
At TrueLight, that vision lives in proprietary devices with precise wavelengths and safe, low-EMF design. By stacking red, infrared, and amber light in a single panel, TrueLight delivers targeted sessions for skin health, pain management, and athletic recovery, all backed by science and decades of hands-on biohacking.
The fine print.
TrueLight devices are general wellness products. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. As a therapeutic device, LED has achieved a FDA low-risk general wellness status.
