The War Against Modernity
Modern society is changing. Ideas like,
“it’s okay to be weak” and “money doesn’t really matter”,
are spread throughout our lives.
These are all ideas that Mychondria stands against.
We believe that the path to a fulfilled life is through constant progression and growth.
Your dream physique, job, relationship, can all be yours, but they depend on your decisions.
Your decision to reject modernity.
Your decision to hunt down your imperfections.
Your decision to embrace the best version of yourself.
Everyday.
Reconnecting Humans With Nature
You were not meant to spend your days inside, disconnected from your natural light environment.
Since the largest component of sunlight is red and infrared, it is essential to expose yourself to this light if you want to perform at your true potential.
And while most of us can't spend our full days outside, the MyLight devices allow you to supplement with natural light in as little as 3-5 minutes per day.
Where It All Began
NICK COETZEE
FOUNDER & CEO
After completing my BSc Honours in Biokinetics I went straight to working with clients, specifically aiming to help them with exercise and diet plans.
It quickly became apparent to me that there was more to health and performance than what traditional studies were teaching us, and the area with the most room for improvement was our light environment.
Simply getting my clients to get more natural light exposure, especially in the early hours of the day, was yielding incredible results. My clients were feeling more energised, recovering faster from their workouts, and sleeping better at night. There was just one problem though:
Most of my clients had busy schedules, which limited the amount of time they spent outdoors, soaking up the benefits of natural light.
This is what sparked me to create Mychondria, a light therapy company that offered modern humans a chance to reconnect with their primal vitality, without having to quit their modern lifestyles.
While red light therapy had already been a well researched practise, I found a gap in the market since most people selling home devices were offering products that were nothing like the ones used in the scientific studies. These below average products left their customers disappointed, with nothing but a fancy party light to show.
After going through hundreds of scientific articles, I made a list of the most important qualities a red light therapy device needed in order to actually get results. From wavelength, to light intensity, to flicker rate, I left no rock unturned.
Combining these specifications with LED technology we were able to create the MyLight devices - a set of red light therapy devices which promised to deliver the results seen in the scientific studies.
