Red Light for Your Eyes: Does It Actually Work? (Feat. Jim Kwik - Vault) #698

Red Light for Your Eyes: Does It Actually Work? (Feat. Jim Kwik - Vault) #698

Author: Tony Wrighton May 18, 2026 Duration: 52:34

Three things on the show this week.

Red Light Therapy and Your Eyesight

Red light therapy has been making waves in the biohacking world for a while now, but the research on eyesight specifically is genuinely interesting.

We look at whether shining red light into your eyes for a few minutes a day can slow age-related vision decline, what the science actually says, and how to do it safely.

Cultural Engagement Slows Biological Ageing

Fascinating research from UC Riverside suggests that engaging with art, music, theatre and culture doesn't just make life more enjoyable. 

It may actually slow the pace of biological ageing at a cellular level. Worth paying attention to.

Vault Episode: Jim Kwik on Brain Performance

This week's Vault episode features Jim Kwik, one of the world's leading brain coaches and host of the Kwik Brain podcast.

Jim has spent decades helping people learn faster, remember more, and perform at a higher level.

Tony Wrighton has spent years navigating the unconventional edges of wellness, and in Biohacking News by Zestology, he turns that curiosity into a weekly conversation. As a journalist and author, Tony doesn't just report the headlines; he digs into the practical science and the wilder trends shaping how we think about our bodies. This podcast serves as a direct line to the people driving the biohacking movement. You'll hear Tony in candid discussions with a roster of leading voices like Dave Asprey on bulletproof living, Dr. David Sinclair on longevity, Ben Greenfield on peak performance, and Esther Perel on the human connection behind the tech. Each episode feels like a behind-the-scenes look, whether it's a review of a new wearable device, a breakdown of a controversial nutritional approach from someone like Paul Saladino, or fitness insights from JJ Virgin and Joe Wicks. It’s a mix of grounded advice and explorations of what's next, all filtered through Tony's experienced perspective and his bulging contacts book. For anyone intrigued by optimizing health but wary of the hype, this is a essential guide to what works, what doesn't, and what's just plain fascinating in the world of human enhancement.
