In this enlightening episode, Heather Crimson and Vanessa Baldwin welcome Diego Scaglione, CEO of Strainless Lighting, to explore the hidden connection between lighting and human health. Diego shares how a simple shift to incandescent lighting during his college years transformed his energy, focus, and sleep — inspiring him to start Strainless Lighting.
Together, they break down why incandescent bulbs are more than just nostalgic:
- They emit infrared light that supports mitochondrial ATP production and overall vitality.
- Their continuous light spectrum is gentler on the eyes and more natural for the body.
- They help protect melatonin production at night, supporting healthy sleep and hormone balance.
Diego contrasts these benefits with the downsides of LED lighting — including flicker, eye strain, dehydration, and circadian disruption — and introduces his company’s latest innovations, like dimmable incandescent bulbs with multiple base options and upcoming red infrared bulbs for evening use.
The conversation also dives into practical strategies for reducing blue light exposure from screens, especially for children, and the real science behind effective blue light blocking glasses. Heather and Vanessa share personal stories, tips, and a few frustrations about common myths in the lighting industry.
Whether you’re a health enthusiast, a biohacker, or simply someone tired of eye strain and restless nights, this episode will inspire you to rethink your light sources and take small, meaningful steps toward a healthier environment.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
