Red Light Therapy

Anne Dann has been a stellar volunteer at the Ancestral Health Symposium for many years. She has implemented an ancestral lifestyle and has helped facilitate the symposium through her volunteer work. Today’s episode is focused on Anne’s amazing experience with Red Light Therapy, which enabled her to reverse a very scary decline in her vision. There is a body of research on the benefits of Red Light Therapy for eye health: The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) cited two studies discussing the potential eye-related benefits of red light therapy. “A 2017 study found that red light partially reversed the effects of aging in the retinas of old mice, enhancing retinal performance by 25%,” the AAO says. “And a 2019 study found that while blue light damaged lab-grown retinal cells, red light reversed that damage.”The (AAO) also reported in late 2020, that "a study in The Journals of Gerontology found that brief exposure to deep red light — three minutes a day for two weeks — improved older adults’ ability to discern letters against a similarly colored background.”Listen to Anne’s personal experience to understand this profound effect and we encourage you to do your own research and speak to your health care provider to see if this can be beneficial to you.
