There are two major issues I hear time and again, regarding full-body red light therapy treatments: 1.) having to set aside time to do the treatments and 2.) having to stand in front of the panel. This week on The Red Light Report, you are going to learn about an innovative red light therapy product from BioLight that resolves these two issues and also provides many other attributes that will make red light therapy easier and more relaxing to do than ever before! In short, the product is the Matrix, which is a full-body red light therapy mat. The Matrix is a ground-breaking, revolutionary red light therapy product, utilizing BioLight's newest patent-pending technology that allows for flexible Dual LEDs, making this mat the most versatile red light therapy product on the market: you can lay on it, sit on it, hang it on the wall, roll it up and take it with you everywhere! Ever since its release release for pre-order, I have been flooded with various questions about the Matrix and how it compares to panels, how you would use the mat most effectively, whether or not its as effective as panels and more. I will cover all of these questions and more. My hope is that this episode brings more clarity about the Matrix and gets you more excited about this new, innovative red light therapy technology!

The author of one of my all-time favorite books recently released her second book, which was like Christmas coming early for me! Luckily, I had also met her before at an anti-aging conference and we have stayed in touch throughout the years. So I knew I had to Dr. Sandra Kaufmann on The Red Light Report for some amazing conversation about anti-aging and longevity strategies, especially as it relates to supplements and adjuvants —  topics that she is considered a bonafide expert. In her newest book, Aging Solutions, Dr. Kaufmann covers 28 different agents that she has found to be the most efficacious and backed by science, according to her rigorous research. We cover many agents from both of her books along with Dr. Kaufmann's skincare routine and other longevity hacks she as implemented over the years, including red light therapy!Dr. Sandra Kaufmann began her academic career in the field of cellular biology, earning a Master’s Degree from the University of Connecticut in Tropical Ecology and Plant Physiology. Turning to medicine, she received her medical Degree at the University of Maryland, and completed a residency and fellowship at Johns Hopkins in the field of pediatric anesthesiology. She has been the Chief of Pediatric Anesthesia at the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital for 9 years, a nationally recognized center of excellence.Dr. Kaufmann's avid interest in the science of anti-aging begun many years ago as an intense hobby. Utilizing her knowledge in cell biology, human pharmacology and physiology, this hobby has now become a main focus. The project represents years of non-clinical research leading to the first ever, comprehensive theory of aging. She has now released two books on longevity: The Kaufmann Protocol: Why We Age and How to Stop it, and just recently in 2022, Aging Solutions. This conversation could have easily gone on for hours and hours, as Dr. Kaufmann is a wealth of knowledge in some of my favorite topics and is fun to listen and learn from. I know you will all enjoy learning from her like I did and, if so, I highly recommend you check out BOTH of her books. They are simply amazing resources of anti-aging/longevity information.
