EPISODE SUMMARY

Can LIGHT alone really help treat debilitating diseases? 

Think… 

Inflammation. Chronic pain. Arthritis. Gut diseases. Thyroid issues. Skin conditions. Mental health and cognitive function. Even CANCERS… 

It’s true. Light CAN be a solution to all of these conditions. 

How? All humans are hardwired to respond to light– our hormone shifts and energy signals adapt to light. So treatments like red light therapy help you tap into your body’s biology and highlight what’s available in nature… only at an accelerated rate. 

Red Light expert Jonathan Otto joins the podcast today to explain how red light as a non-invasive, pain-free, chemical-free treatment method can help reverse cancer and other chronic diseases. 

Sounds too good to be true? You’ll get all the facts here on how red light therapy may be just what you need to overcome setbacks and feel totally rejuvenated in your health!

QUOTES

“I’m so grateful to many therapies, including red light therapy. It really has changed my life and it’s changed so many people’s lives around me of people that I love and care about, which has made me feel like an actual obligation to speak about this.”

“Even though women live longer, we’re not living healthier. And if red light therapy and having these modalities are going to help you to live a better, more fulfilled and more alive life for longer– I mean that to me, that’s the name of the game.” 

“With people using red light therapy, it’s like a one and done. What’s happening is people will save so much money, it’s almost ridiculous. In that sense, it doesn’t cost you anything, because there are so many things that it can replace.”
