There are so many companies and doctors claiming they can help ease your pain. But what options have the least harmful side effects?

Light therapy is a great passive, non-invasive option to try out. And Bright Health Therapy is a non-invasive, drug-free, way to relieve this pain at home – all with infrared light therapy. It is a class 2 medical device that helps alleviate chronic pain and enhances recovery from injury or exercise. The device delivers the ideal wavelength of infrared light via the highest quality medical-grade LED lamps. Unlike a heating pad, it works below the skin’s surface to stimulate cells, oxygenate, and increase circulation. Simply rest feet on the unit for 20 minutes (up to three times daily). Most people begin to feel relief from their symptoms right away but others may require a few sessions of regular use. Note: Bright Health Therapy is strictly for pain relief and not a cure for chronic issues like neuropathy or arthritis.

Brendan McEvoy is joining us today to tell us more about the benefits of light therapy, he is the Director of Product Management for Compass Health Brands, a market and brand leader of consumer medical products which owns Bright Health Therapy.

Are you afraid of loneliness or failure, confrontation, or facing the unknown? Psychologist Dr. Nancy Stella draws on decades of experience in clinical practice in her new book, “Fear Traps: Escape the Triggers that Keep You Stuck” — which presents her concept of the Courageous Brain Process, a six-step, science-based treatment plan to help people overcome fear.

Dr. Nancy Stella has been a leading clinical psychologist in the Cincinnati area for over 20 years. As former president and owner, Dr. Stella expanded BridgePointe Psychological and Counseling Center into one of Ohio’s largest private, multi-specialty mental health practices with over 75 providers.

After a shattering divorce, Dr. Stella found traditional therapeutic approaches wanting, so she developed the Courageous Brain Process (CBP) — an innovative, science-based method of therapy. Rooted in the most up-to-date neuroscience, it bypassed the shortcomings of traditional talk therapy to repattern the way our brains process fear.

So today we are talking about coping skills and pathways to healing with Elizabeth Cohn Stuntz. She is a psychotherapist in private practice in Mamaroneck, New York, as well as a cancer survivor and Zen student.

And while the book addresses cancer directly, the tools outlined within the book can provide guidance in dealing with many other unexpected, challenging situations, including coping with the stress caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
