Red Light Therapy: How It Works and Why It Helps

Red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to pe*****te the skin and stimulate mitochondria, the powerhouses of your cells. This process increases ATP production, giving your cells more energy to repair, regenerate, and function optimally.

Benefits of red light therapy include:

⭐️Increased collagen production for healthier, firmer skin

⭐️Reduced inflammation and relief from joint or muscle pain

⭐️Improved circulation to support tissue repair

⭐️Enhanced cellular energy for better recovery, endurance, and overall wellness

It’s a safe, non-invasive therapy that supports your body at the cellular level, helping you heal, recover, and perform your best naturally.

Today we pause and remember the courage it takes to raise your hand and say I will go.

My cousins Sidnie and Jake Klimpel and Caleb Donaldson chose to serve. They chose sacrifice. They chose duty over comfort and purpose over ease.

Most people will never know the weight that comes with service or the strength it demands from not only the ones in uniform but their families as well. Yet they carry it with pride. They stand watch so the rest of us can live freely, raise our children in peace, and wake up safe in our homes.

I am deeply grateful for them today and every day. Their commitment and honor remind me that freedom has never been free.

With love, thank you Sidnie, Jake, and Caleb.

Happy Veterans Day 🇺🇸

🔥 When You Have a Fire, Call the Firefighters… 🧑‍🚒

At The Wellness Way, we like to think of healthcare like this:

Western medicine = firefighters 🚒
They’re amazing at handling emergencies... heart attacks, broken bones, severe infections. The urgent stuff that needs immediate attention.

We = carpenters 🪚🛠️
Our job is to build back what was damaged, strengthen your foundation, and create long-term health. We work on prevention, repair, and balance, not emergency care.

Both are essential, but it’s important to know the difference: if you’re in crisis, call the firefighters. If you want to restore, rebuild, and prevent future problems, that’s where we come in.

Your health deserves both safety and structure. 🙌

🩸 Tired, dizzy, or cold all the time? Let’s talk about iron! 💪

Iron is one of those nutrients your body can’t function without... it carries oxygen in your blood, fuels your energy, and keeps your brain sharp. But here’s the catch: getting enough iron isn’t just about what you eat… it’s about what your body can absorb. 👀

Swipe through 👉 to learn my favorite iron hacks, plus what helps or blocks absorption.

Here’s a sneak peek:
✅ Pair iron-rich foods with Vitamin C (think citrus or bell peppers 🍊)
🚫 Avoid coffee, tea, and dairy with meals — they block absorption ☕️🥛
🥩 Choose heme iron (from animal sources) for better uptake

When you learn how to support absorption, your energy, hormones, and mood can all start to improve. 🙌

Want to uncover what’s really behind your low iron? We can test and guide you toward true healing.

🧺 Most people do not think twice about what is in their laundry detergent, but those fresh scents and bright colors often come with a hidden cost.

Many mainstream detergents contain ingredients like synthetic fragrances, dyes, and harsh chemicals that can irritate the skin, disrupt hormones, and even affect your immune system over time. When you wash your clothes, those residues stay on your fabrics and sit against your skin all day long. 😬

👕 Your skin is your largest organ, and it absorbs much of what it comes into contact with. That means what you wash your clothes in matters more than most people realize.

The good news is there are plenty of safer, cleaner options out there. 🌿 You can find healthy laundry products and see how your current brand rates at www.ewg.org/skindeep a great resource for checking ingredients in everyday household items.

Small swaps like this make a big difference for your long-term health. 💚

Roger came to us after being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. His hands and wrists were stiff and swollen, mornings were painful, and even holding a coffee cup or typing at work became a challenge. Fatigue and frustration had started to take over his days.

When he went to his primary doctor, he was told to take medication, rest, and try physical therapy. He followed all the advice but still wasn’t feeling better. The swelling and stiffness persisted, and his energy never came back.

That’s when he reached out to The Wellness Way. Instead of only managing symptoms, we started asking why his body was inflamed in the first place. We ran testing to look at:
✔️ Food sensitivities and allergies
✔️ Inflammatory blood markers
✔️ Nutrient deficiencies and digestive health
✔️ Other hidden triggers that can fuel autoimmune reactions

Once we understood what was driving the inflammation, we built a plan to support Roger’s immune system and help his body heal naturally. Over time, the swelling decreased, his energy returned, and he started feeling like himself again.

💡 The takeaway: Rheumatoid arthritis is complex, but there is always more to the story. Medications can help with symptoms, but understanding what is driving your inflammation can change everything.

If you are living with pain, fatigue, or inflammation, it is time to take a deeper look. Let’s start rebuilding your health from the inside out.

🥦🍎 Want your food to last longer?

They may have skipped this in Home Ec, but it DOES matter where you store your food. Some fruits release ethylene gas...a natural ripening hormone...that can make nearby veggies wilt, spoil, or go bitter faster than you think.

📌 Pro Tip: Keep ethylene-producing foods separate from sensitive veggies and greens. A little space = fresher food, less waste, happier fridge. 🥗💚
