Red light therapy is everywhere right now—but what does it actually do? And how do you know if it’s worth the hype?

In this kickoff episode of our new Expert Series, we sit down with Robin Kuehne, CEO and co-founder of NEO Science, to talk all things red light therapy. Robin has spent years developing cutting-edge red light devices used in clinics, wellness studios, and by high-performance athletes—and he’s here to break down the real science behind the glow.

We cover how red light works at the cellular level, what to look for in a quality device, and how it can support everything from better sleep and skin to reduced inflammation, muscle recovery, and overall performance.

Whether you’ve never tried it or you’ve been using it for years, this episode will help you understand the why behind the red light—and how to get the most out of it.

Every studio has a story and today, we’re introducing you to the people behind our newest one.

In this episode of Altered States Unplugged, we’re sitting down with Justin Kennington and Jamie Allison, the owner and general manager of our upcoming Vintage Park location in Houston. This isn’t just about construction timelines and studio design (though we cover that too). It’s about who they are, why they said yes to this journey, and what they hope this space brings to the Houston community.

Justin brings a brain for business and a heart for neuroscience, while Jamie leads with passion, warmth, and a deep love for creating meaningful client experiences. Together, they’re building more than a wellness studio—they’re building a place where people can feel better, breathe easier, and reconnect with themselves.

In this episode, you’ll get to know:

• What inspired Justin to open an Altered States studio

• Jamie’s passion for people and how she’s preparing to lead this new space

• What they’ve learned during their buildout and training experience

• What makes the Houston community the perfect place for this kind of wellness

If you’re in Houston, this episode is your first chance to meet the faces behind your future go-to wellness studio. And if you’ve ever dreamed about opening your own, this is a front-row seat to what it really looks like.
