MY RED LIGHT THERAPY JOURNEY
Red Light Therapy (RLT) is having quite the moment right now….. and for good reason! This wellness trend is showing up everywhere, and I’ve officially joined the movement with my MEGELIN RLT BAG. My husband and I have been using it for two weeks now, and we’re already noticing subtle but very encouraging changes! Before you start to question RLT….. read on!
For me, this couldn’t have come a better time. About six weeks ago, I tripped over my suitcase in my closet, and injured my foot. Such a dumb way to injure your foot, I know!!! Since starting my RLT sessions, my foot feels better…. not totally, but slightly. Keep in mind, I just started using RLT a couple of weeks ago. There’s definitely less inflammation, which has meant less pain!!
WHY RED LIGHT THERAPY IS WORTH EXPLORING
Without a doubt, Red Light Therapy isn’t just a buzzy wellness trend…. it’s backed by science and has some pretty incredible benefits! These are especially important for those of us in midlife and beyond. As my husband and I begin using our Medellin RLT Bag, we’re learning more and more about the benefits. Here’s what we’ve learned……
REDUCES INFLAMMATION AND PAIN…. One of the most talked-about benefits of RLT is its ability to reduce inflammation. This is especially important as we age, when chronic inflammation can show up as stiffness in joints, muscle soreness, or conditions like arthritis and neuropathy. My husband is really hoping that this will help him with the neuropathy in his feet, and give him some relief!
SUPPORTS INJURY RECOVERY…. Since using the RLT bag, I have noticed an improvement in my foot as I mentioned above. RLT promotes tissue repair and healing, by increasing cellular energy and blood flow to injured areas. It’s kind of like giving your body an internal “boost” right where it needs it.
IMPROVES SKIN AND COLLAGEN PRODUCTION…. Indeed, in our midlife years, our skin changes. We experience thinning, dryness, and also loss of elasticity. RLT stimulates collagen and elastin, which can improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and promote that healthy glow we all love.
ENHANCES MUSCLE RECOVERY AND PERFORMANCE…. For those of us who are active (or trying to be!), RLT may help reduce post-workout soreness and speed up recovery! This is great news, right? So often people will stop going to the gym, or even move, because they feel sore! I actually love to feel sore because then I know I’ve really worked my muscles!
BOOSTS MOOD AND SLEEP…. Exposure to red and near-infrared light can help balance your body’s natural sleep-wake cycle. The Megelin RLT Bag does use both. Along with all the other benefits, this will hopefully lead to better sleep and a brighter mood, two things that often get off track during midlife because of changing hormones.
____________
Wearing protective glasses during RLT sessions is super important, for safeguarding your eyes. The bag emits high-intensity red and near-infrared light, and while beneficial for skin and muscle health, can be too intense for the eyes. Make sure to shield your eyes!

I’m just getting started with my Red Light Therapy journey, and will be documenting everything right here on my blog.

I’m ALL IN!!!! Have you tried RLT yet? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
