• 💡 The focus → Red light boosts your cells' energy and repair systems
• ⚠️ The impact → Low cellular energy = slower recovery, more inflammation, faster aging
• ✅ The fix → Use red or near-infrared light daily to support ATP, skin, and recovery

There are many things you can take to slow down your aging but there’s also something you can stand in front of.

 Red light therapy isn’t just a trend, it’s becoming a go-to element for one’s health in the longevity world.

Originally studied and developed by NASA as a way to manage wound healing, RLT has gained traction across the health and wellness spectrum for its ability to support cellular energy, reduce inflammation, improve skin quality, and accelerate recovery.

Through just a few minutes a day, exposure to the right red and infrared lights can have a net benefit to your mitochondria, helping your body repair faster, age slower, and overall function better.

Adding red light to your daily routine is very low effort with an effective reward when it becomes a habitual thing.

• Red therapy sends energy straight into your cells: Red and infrared light go deep into your tissue and reach your cells, where the real energy boost begins.

• Your cells start making more energy right away: Once the light hits the mitochondria, a special part inside your cells, they begin creating more ATP, the fuel your body runs on.

• With more energy, your cells use oxygen better: The extra energy helps your cells take in and use oxygen more efficiently, so they perform at a higher level.

• That energy helps your body repair and protect itself: Now full of fuel, your cells are ready to repair damage, grow new tissue, and defend your body from stress or harm.

• Red therapy flips the switch that powers your whole system: This process acts like turning on a switch inside you, giving your body the signal to heal faster, think clearer, and recover better.

Not only can you energize your cells with RLT, but you can improve your overall appearance and wellbeing as well.

Skin: Studies have shown that the light from RLT stimulates collagen and elastin, which is essential for smooth, firm youthful looking skin.

Inflammation: RLT has been known to regulate inflammation, while improving circulation and supporting immune function.  Specifically with high performing athletes, RLT has become a component of speeding up the recovery process.

Cognition & Sleep: By regulating oxidative stress, it’s not uncommon to sleep better and have sharper focus after becoming consistent with RLT.  Red light has been known to have a stabilizing effect on mood, cognition, and the circadian rhythm.

You don’t need a spa nor do you need a lot of time to incorporate red light therapy into your daily life.

Look for something that has a red light or combination of red and near-infrared light with clinical-grade wavelengths, typically 660nm for red and 850nm for near-infrared.

And then figure out whether a portable device to target specific areas like your face or joints would work better or a larger panel to get full-body use.

Begin with 5-10 minute sessions a few times a week for each area you’re targeting and then eventually build up to a daily session of 15-20 minutes if you need to target deeper tissues experiencing chronic inflammation or for muscle recovery.

You can use RLT in the morning to energy and align with your circadian rhythm or at night to support recovery and your sleep.

You should be in the target treatment range from the device where you’re close enough for absorption but close enough that you start to feel heat buildup.  You really shouldn’t “feel” it while you’re in front of the light.

• Sticking to it daily helps you see real results: Like with anything you do for your health, doing red light therapy every day, or almost every day, makes a big difference. The results get better the more consistent you are with it.

• The longer you keep at it, the better it works: Red light therapy isn’t about quick fixes. It builds up over time, and skipping days can slow down your progress. Staying steady gives your body time to respond and improve.

• Adding RLT to things you already do makes it easier to stick with: You don’t need to carve out extra time. You can do RLT while stretching, drinking water in the morning, or doing other small habits. It becomes part of your flow without extra effort.

• Doing RLT during your sauna session saves time and keeps you regular: If you’re using a Heavenly Heat Sauna with red light panels, you’re hitting two wellness goals at once, making it easier to stay on track without doing more.

• 📈 Red light boosts cellular energy by stimulating your mitochondria.
• ✅ It reduces inflammation and improves skin, recovery, and focus.
• ⌛ Use 5–15 minutes daily to see results over time.
