Bryan Gohl is the co-founder of Red Light Rising, a trailblazing company among the world’s first to sell LED red light therapy products way back in 2017.

#27 Sonia Spil - Doctors Get Women’s Hormones WRONG (Here’s the Truth)

Sonia is a seasoned online health coach with nearly a decade of experience, specialising in autoimmune conditions and hormone dysfunction, including fertility, PCOS, and other metabolic imbalances.

Dr. Tyler Panzner is a Ph.D. scientist with a deep background in pharmacology, cancer, neuroscience, and inflammation research. His passion for how different substances affect the body has been lifelong, but about seven years ago, he found his true calling in genetics and personalised medicine. Since then, he's been on a mission to create personalised vitamin, supplement, and lifestyle protocols tailored to each individual’s unique biology.

His approach is all about understanding what your cells truly need and uncovering which vitamins, supplements, or foods might not be a good match for your genetic makeup. He firmly believes that by aligning your habits with your genes, not only can you feel your best every day, but you can also lower your risk for chronic diseases in the long run. His practice focuses on genetically optimising health, helping people unlock their body's full potential to truly thrive.

Dr. Panzner sees a massive lack in supplement education across all sectors of healthcare, which shows up as unnecessary suffering as people feel worse due to the wrong supplement recommendations. He is driven to educate both practitioners for their practice and consumers in the supplement aisle of the store so they can make more informed decisions regarding their or their patient's supplementation strategies.
