Greenery

VidaPod has a 9x8 square ft space of 15-20 individual plants and a live fiddle leaf tree. Surrounded by living greenery including fiddle leaf figs, philodendrons, aglaonema, pothos, and bird's nest ferns. VidaPod draws on biophilic design principles to create a nourishing environment that encourages calm, restoration, and a deeper connection with the natural world.

Bright Light

SAD light therapy is provided by Verilux HappyLight Luxe, a UV-free, full-spectrum LED light therapy lamp that delivers up to 10,000 lux of bright light designed to mimic natural daylight. Optimal use is 20-30 minutes in the morning.

Red Light

Vida Pod has a Nuvio mat that combines red and infrared light therapy mat (NIR - near-infrared). Typically NIR Wavelengths are roughly 700-1400 nm, Nuvio uses 850 nm, delivered via LEDs. Optimal use is 25-30 minutes, full body wearing thin clothing to let the light penetrate, can happen any time of day.

Grounding

We are using an indoor grounding mat from the company Earthing. The mat stays on the ground, is plugged into a grounded outlet and you rest your bare feet on the mat. Optimal sessions are about 30 min to reach upper parts of your body.

There are no adverse effects - only benefits - if SAD light, red and Infrared light and grounding are used at the same time!
