Jason Sha joins the show to discuss a controversial idea: we’re extending life expectancy, but not improving healthspan. He explains the difference between lifespan vs life expectancy, why many people feel worse despite living longer, and how he believes the modern system incentivizes symptom management over root-cause healing. We also talk about the Light System (a full-spectrum coherent light therapy environment). Jason shares the research he’s seen, why he supports it, and why he believes it can help people feel more balanced — physically and mentally — including stories involving animals where placebo is less likely to apply.
