Welcome back to The Simplicity Sessions, I'm delighted that you’ve joined us today. My name is Jenn Pike, your host, registered holistic nutritionist, medical exercise specialist, the best-selling author of the Simplicity Project, and the creator of the women's revolutionary health program, The Hormone Project.

Joining us for this episode are Matt and Sandra from Orion, a company where they offer red light therapy to their clients to help them look, feel, and live better through the natural healing power of red and near-infrared light. It is the next generation of home-based red light therapy and is also trusted by professional athletes and health practitioners. 

What is red light therapy? Red-light therapy (RLT) is a therapeutic technique that uses red low-level wavelengths of light to treat skin issues, such as wrinkles, scars, and persistent wounds, among other conditions. 

Sandra, Orion’s Marketing Associate also answered, was on the podcast to discuss the details of RLT from a technical clinical sense and how it can help improve your life.

Tune in for more information about red light therapy and should you consider doing it? And the Orion company.

Quotes - 

• “.... kind of red and near-infrared light works, it penetrates deep into ourselves and that's how it reaches the mitochondria. And as you mentioned, the mitochondria is extremely critical in our well-being because it powers everything we do. And so when we do get light, it essentially supercharges ourselves so that our mitochondria function at a higher capacity.”

• “You can be you doing you and still be getting this therapeutic benefit.”

• “ This does really help a person. You just feel more energized, feel lighter. Like less drowsy in the morning, too.”

• “Once you exceed that 20 minutes, you're not really getting any more added benefits from the light because your lights are only able to absorb so much light.”

• “Red light specifically targets more of the surface layer of our skin. On the other hand, we have near-infrared light that ranges anywhere between seven 50 to 1200 nanometers, a much longer wavelength, meaning it will penetrate much deeper into our tissues, our bones, and muscles.”
