We have two guests on today’s program, Danielle Matthews and Dr. David Silverman. To open, Danielle recounts her recovery following a traumatic brain injury sustained in an auto accident 10 years ago. The injury left her with word finding difficulty, migraines, and hyper sensitivity to noise and temperature. Her treatment consisted of a “redox signaling” solution that helps to restore communication of cells and replenish the supply of cells that gets damaged or exhausted with age. With Dr. David Silverman, we discuss the science of reduction-oxidation, and how this FDA-registered product is being used in 34 countries, with tens of thousands of people. How does this solution help the body’s natural ability to find and strengthen damaged cells. Is this an anti-aging product? Be sure to tune in. Mini Bios After experiencing a life-changing recovery from a brain injury following an auto accident, Danielle Matthews has been at the forefront of educating people around the globe for the last 7 years about the solution we are discussing today.

After he saw undeniable results, he explored the people behind the technology and decided to align with them. He sits on the Medical Board of the company now, ASEA, and has been educating people on this topic globally for over a decade.  For Our Listeners Product website: DiscoverRedox.com On Instagram: @_daniellematthews_ To ask Danielle questions about using redox yourself, click "Contact Me" at: Livingto100Club.teamasea.com
