Red light therapy has gained massive popularity, but many people don't understand how it works or how to use it correctly. In this episode, Ari Whitten, founder of The Energy Blueprint and author of The Ultimate Guide to Red Light Therapy, breaks down the science and explains how to use red light therapy safely and effectively for bone, joint, and muscle health.

We discuss the research showing how light therapy supports bone healing, speeds recovery after exercise or injury, reduces pain, and enhances tissue regeneration. Ari also exposes common mistakes people make when buying devices and why many products on the market don't deliver the benefits they promise.

If you're curious about red light therapy and want evidence-based guidance on using it safely and effectively, this episode will give you the clarity you need to get started with confidence.

"Red and near infrared light have been shown in (at this point) over 6,000 studies, in many different contexts, to stimulate mechanisms at the cellular level that are involved in healing and regeneration of tissues." ~ Ari Whitten

What if you could support your bone health naturally, without relying on traditional medications?

With solid research backing its effectiveness, genistein is a promising option for enhancing bone health naturally. Tune in for a closer look at this groundbreaking supplement.
