Red Light Therapy & Longevity

Red light therapy may sound like a snake oil treatment that is sold by scammy salespeople. 

But, did you know that red light therapy has been used since the 1800's to treat smallpox and lupus? 

A century later, NASA found that red light therapy allowed Navy SEALs to heal wounds over 40% quicker than normal. Red light can also:

  • Enhance cellular function

  • Reduce inflammation

  • Stimulate neurogenesis 

  • Regular circadian rhythm

That's why red light therapy was approved by the FDA in 2002, and now anyone can gain access to this unique (and inexpensive) therapy. 

This week, we dive into how red light therapy works and how it can help promote your healthspan...
