How Red Light Therapy Improves Energy, Mood, and Recovery

What if light could do more than just illuminate the room? What if it could revitalize your energy, support your sleep, and enhance your overall vitality? In this episode of All About You, Dr. Shauna Watts sits down with Trevor Neale, a pioneer in energy-based therapies, to explore the transformative power of full-body light therapy—specifically red and near-infrared light—and its profound impact on midlife health.

We break down:

• The science of red light therapy: how it boosts energy, improves mood, and supports skin health.
• How full-body light therapy helps combat menopause symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and poor sleep.
• Why red light therapy is a game-changer, enhancing ATP production and blood flow on a cellular level.
• The key differences between red light therapy and infrared saunas in supporting health and recovery.
• Separating evidence-backed results from marketing hype in the light therapy world.

Whether you're in perimenopause, menopause, or simply looking to improve your energy and vitality, this conversation is packed with scientific insights and practical tips to help you age vibrantly and feel your best.
