@OneTrueLono Why?

Don’t Buy A Red Light Therapy Device Until You See This…

⚠️ DO NOT BUY BLUE BLOCKERS WITH CLEAR LENSES!! Your blockers MUST be tinted - yellow, orange or red. Non negotiable. Clear lenses block a tiny percentage of violet and blue light. Not enough to make a difference.

@AncientHealingX @thegarybrecka That’s so great to hear! Thank you!

Unfortunately I can’t tell you anything from your description. The last thing you mentioned is probably pulsing, and this is the idea that switching the light on and off really fast is better for cells. But evidence is split. Personally I don’t use pulsing at this stage. Hope that helps.

The reason why red light therapy is so effective for so many things comes down to 3 mechanisms: Increased cellular energy Decreased inflammation Increased blood flow This is the foundation of healing and recovery.

Getting infrared light early in the day may protect your skin from UV that comes later. Not by blocking it. By getting your cells ready for it. A second kind of melatonin Everyone knows melatonin as the sleep hormone. Made in the pineal gland in your head, released once the sun goes down, it flows through your blood and tells the rest of your body the night shift is starting. But researchers recently found a second kind, produced outside the brain, inside almost every cell in your body. It is called extra pineal melatonin. This one has nothing to do with sleep. It acts as one of your body's most powerful antioxidants, and it seems to stay inside each individual cell, clearing out the free radicals and damaged particles that build up in there. It also seems to help your cells defend against UV stress from the sun. In the study, people who had several red light therapy sessions on their skin before UV exposure showed clearly less redness than the people who had none. The researchers think this new kind of melatonin is part of the reason why. So how do you actually use this? The ideal is the simplest version, the way we evolved to get it: 🌅 Prioritise early morning sun on your face, your eyes and as much bare skin as you can, so your cells get the infrared signal before the harsh light arrives ⏰ Try red light therapy. Use your red light therapy device as close to waking as possible, especially before a long day in the sun ☀️ Caught too much sun anyway? People use red light afterwards to soothe and support the skin if it gets burned This is not a free pass to be reckless though. The sun is good for you. Overexposure still is not.

Does your red light therapy device get hot? You need to know this… 👇🏻

🚨Car headlights are more dangerous than red light therapy.

If your red light therapy panel looks like this, here’s what you need to know… The orange LEDs are at the lower end of the red spectrum, usually around 630 nm. The darker red, is usually 660 nm. The near infrared part of the spectrum (800’s) is invisible to the human eye or it can look pink on camera. Your panel isn’t broken or fake, you just need to understand the spectrum better.

@DamionKnudsen No worries then, if you’re happy, that’s good. The key is NOT TO HURT your eyes. Whatever distance that is, is fine.

Most People Use Red Light Therapy On Their Eyes At The Wrong Distance They're scared red light therapy will damage their eyes. It won't. But the fear isn't totally wrong. There's a real risk, it's just not the one people think. The light isn't the problem. The distance is. but here's the part nobody tells you... Your retinal cells have mitochondria. The same tiny power plants sitting in every other cell in your body. So when red and near infrared light reaches them, those mitochondria produce more energy, and your eyes work better because the cells powering them have more fuel. So when is red light therapy actually risky for your eyes? Only when the device is too close to your face. We evolved to get red and infrared light from the sun every single day. So your eyes are built to receive it. What they're not built for is a powerful device too close to them (Blue light, by the way, is far more dangerous for your eyes, even at low doses.) How to do it safely... Start with the light roughly an arm's length from your face. At that distance the power and brightness drop enough to be perfectly safe. If that feels comfortable, you can move it slightly closer over time. 5 minutes a day is all you need. Morning is better. But anytime works, Your eyes can be open or closed. If you want a light built for exactly this, the one I reach for on my own eyes is the Target Light 3.0. It has 660, 810 and 850nm. It's battery operated, and it comes with a small stand so you can set it at the right distance and let it shine on your face without holding it. So it's totally safe if you use it correctly. What's actually stopped you from trying red light on your eyes ? Reply and tell me.

@DamionKnudsen You can But you’re not optimising for “ zero issues” You’re optimising to actually make your own stronger. Open eyes are better for that. I’ve been doing it 9 years.

⚠️DO NOT USE RED LIGHT THERAPY FOR YOUR EYES, until you understand this 👇🏼

Chicken lamps are trending on the health circuit as cheap red light therapy. I've had thousands of customer conversations about these devices over 9 years. Here's what you need to know. ❌ Strictly speaking, they're not red light therapy. They’re mostly mid and far infrared light which has a different cellular effect. ✅ True red light therapy is red and NEAR infrared only. Totally different thing. True RLT gives off almost no heat, which means it’s totally safe and convenient to treat sensitive areas like face and eyes. You can also get it much closer to your skin for deep tissue penetration. I’ve wittten extensively about the differences, so if you want to read the full article, let me know in the comments and I’ll send it.

Stop These 8 Lighting Mistakes Before They Ruin Your Sleep If you're struggling to sleep, you're probably doing something wrong before bed, and it has nothing to do with caffeine. I've been obsessed with light for 9 years now, and I keep watching the same pattern ruin people's sleep night after night. Thats beacuse our modern light environment makes our brains think it's daytime 24 hours a day. So that means, your brain never gets the signal that it's nighttime and it never has time to prepare your body for sleep… You miss out on crucial deep and REM sleep night after night, week after week for years and years. So getting the right light at the right time isn't optional. It's crucial. Here's 8 mistakes you need to stop making... Mistake 1. You're not getting morning sun on your face. Wake up as close to sunrise as you can and get that bright natural light into your eyes within the first hour of being awake. This is the single biggest signal your body uses to set the day's clock. If you can't reach morning sun where you live, a quick red light therapy session as soon as you wake up acts as your supplementary sunrise. Mistake 2. You're hiding indoors all day. Your brain uses daylight to gauge the time of day and countdown to nightfall. Even on cloudy days, outdoor light is way times brighter than anything indoors. So step outside for 10 minutes every couple of hours, no excuses. Mistake 3. You're soaking in blue light from screens all day. Phones and laptops fire a steady blast of blue light at your face for hours on end. This is exactly the kind of light that keeps your brain wired and alert no matter what time of day it is. So when you suddenly try and switch off and go to sleep, your brain is confused and tries to keep you awake. So experiment with blue blocking glasses during the workday. They cut excess blue light and help keep your brain relaxed and focused. Mistake 4. You're skipping the sunset cue. One Of the things that makes sunrise and sunset so good for you is the high concentration of red and infrared light, just like what you get from red light therapy. Around sunset, give yourself another blast of red light therapy. This acts as your supplementary sunset, the signal your body has been waiting for to start winding down. Mistake 5. You're using overhead lights after dark. Using bright lights overhead at night mimics the Sun, it's bright light coming down on you from above. So as soon as the sun sets, Switch off all overhead lights, Instead, use some warm lamps and keep them below eyelevel. Warm lighting coming at you from below, will not disrupt your circadian rhythm and won't interfere with sleep. We made the Dusk Lamp exactly for the reason. Mistake 6. You're doom scrolling before bed. Phones in the 2 hours before sleep keep your brain locked in daytime mode. The light that comes from these devices keeps you wired and awake. So put the devices down, grab a book, or put on some calm music. Your nervous system needs time to drift into the slower rhythm of night. Mistake 7. You're skipping blue blockers at night. If you absolutely have to use a screen after dark, use blue blockers. They block the green and blue wavelengths that suppress melatonin the most. Mistake 8. You're sleeping next to glowing LEDs. Every single tiny source of light in your bedroom when you're trying to go to sleep can disrupt it. Even if it doesn't go in your eyes, I've seen studies that suggest that even if it lands on your skin it can send the signal to your brain to stop melatonin production which will make your sleep worse. Sleep in a pitch black room, every single device must be unplugged with no light shining. Try a few of these tonight and tell me which one made the biggest difference. I'm curious which one moves the needle for you.
