ARE YOU MAL-ILLUMINATED? - using light as a tool for healing, what a lack of full-spectrum UV can do + how red light therapy can help with BioLight Founder Dr. Mike Belkowski

Ep 68. Did you know you might be mal-illuminated? If you're not getting enough exposure to full-spectrum UV light (aka soaking up some sun), your cells might not be working as well as they should. Here to *enlighten* us about how our bodies use UV light and how red light therapy can be beneficial is physical therapist and founder/CEO of BioLight, Dr. Mike Belkowski.  We'll go over how red light and infrared light therapy works, some of the things it can be used for, and why we all probably need to get outside more. Let's get juicy! PS - Thanks to Dr. Mike, I started using a travel-sized red light device from his line called the Shine. I became a believer when my digestion was off the day we filmed this podcast, and he told me to put it directly on my stomach for 10 minutes and see if I felt a difference. Not only did my stomach ache get better – my mind felt calmer too, which he explained is because red light therapy works on the gut-brain axis. I've truly loved this device ever since and keep it next to my bed in case I wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep (a few minutes on my forehead or stomach works like a charm to calm my mind down). I've also used it for headaches and a mood boost in the winter months!
