Red Light, Real Healing: A Conversation with Dr. Alison Evans of Fringe

What if one of the most powerful healing tools for your medically complex child has been around for 50 years, and no one ever told you about it? In this illuminating episode, Johanna and Peter sit down with Dr. Alison Evans, chiropractor, educator, and founder of Fringe, a company reshaping how families understand and use red light therapy. With 25 years in natural healthcare, Alison breaks down the science, safety, and everyday practicality of red and near-infrared light, especially for parents navigating chronic conditions, inflammation, slow healing, and post-surgical recovery. Dr. Alison shares how she went from a young chiropractic patient to a leader in natural medicine, why she built Fringe to bridge science and nature, and why she believes "if you can be outside in the sun for 20 minutes, you certainly can do a 20-minute red light therapy session."
