We’ve talked a lot about the dangers of blue light, but on the opposite end of the spectrum, there are considerable health benefits to red light exposure. It can improve sleep, boost mood, optimize hormones, accelerate fat burning and so much more. In this segment, Tony and I discuss the many options for red light exposure, and how to get more of this “super light” into your lifestyle, no matter what your budget!
Next, we have my very special guest Samantha Colicchio, is a Feng Shui expert specializing in Flying Star Feng Shui and founder of Sparrow Feng Shui in Los Angeles. If the home is a metaphor for our "insides," it is very telling when our homes are full of clutter, and uncomfortable to inhabit. When a client feels stagnant, Samantha comes into the home and shakes it up. Listen in as Samantha shares these ancient principles, and how to create a relaxing and sensual haven.

[FEATURED GUESTS]About Samantha Colicchio
Samantha Colicchio fell in love with Feng Shui as a little girl when she discovered that moving things around in her bedroom gave her a sense of power and excitement. After attending New York University, Samantha moved to Los Angeles, a mecca of personal growth and fulfillment, and started practicing Feng Shui.
Studying at the American Feng Shui Institute helped her to discover that her lifelong affinity for redecorating was actually a sensitivity to the energy in her space! It feels good to renew energy that has gone stale, and today, this is what she does professionally.
Samantha specializes in Flying Star Feng Shui, one of the oldest forms of Feng Shui. It takes the client's birth date, home direction, the year the home was built, and the current year into account--making it one of the most individualized forms of Feng Shui.
Samantha hones in on the elements needed in the home and the client's best directions. Samantha works in homes and in offices to maximize the prosperity, health, wealth and personal growth of the people who inhabit them.
