Today's guest, Alain Dijkstra, is the CEO of Kaiyan Medical and an authority in the light therapy industry.

Today, Kaiyan Medical has become one of the largest and most innovative producers and manufacturers of LED Therapy products worldwide.

With over ten years of experience working in the medical device industry, Alain is well-equipped with the knowledge, research, insight, and vision to perpetuate the benefits of light therapy to the masses.
