For years I’ve watched my husband push through pain and inflammation.

Surfing, shaping boards, old injuries, wear and tear… he just accepted it as part of life.
Truthfully, I was skeptical that something so simple could make a difference.

But after consistently wearing what we call our “athletic stack” (X39 + X49 + Aeon), I’ve watched his inflammation go way down, recovery improve, and pain become way less of a daily thing.

💫 No drugs. No injections. Nothing goes into your body. These are non-transdermal phototherapy patches that work through a process called photobiomodulation — using your body’s own infrared light/heat to reflect specific wavelengths back into the body to support peptide signaling, repair, inflammation response, recovery, energy, and overall function.

Each patch is designed to elevate peptides your body already naturally produces.

They’re:
• Non-transdermal (nothing enters your body)
• Drug-free
• Safe with medications

He also has had his hair growing back which is an added PLUS! Watching Josh feel better has honestly been one of the biggest reasons I’ve become so passionate about sharing this technology.
Because pain and inflammation shouldn’t have to run your life.

If you’re dealing with inflammation, joint pain, old injuries, arthritis, recovery issues, or just feeling like your body isn’t bouncing back the same — ATHLETE and I’ll send you what he uses.

Pain can run your life if you let it.

It affects your mood, energy, sleep, workouts, patience, relationships, and ability to simply enjoy life.

So many people end up stuck in a cycle of masking pain just to get through the day.

What if there was another option?

These non-transdermal phototherapy patches contain no drugs, chemicals, or stimulants, NOTHING enters your body. They simply use your body’s own light to support pain, inflammation, circulation, and healing pathways.

I’ve personally seen incredible things with pain, injuries, arthritis, headaches, inflammation, and recovery…and today’s testimonial is exactly why I keep sharing them.

Why let pain run your life?

Do you not feel like yourself anymore?
Maybe it’s time to get something checked… because I waited too long.

It started with recurring sinus infections.
Then we found mold. But then I used mold as my excuse for feeling like 💩 for months!!

My immune system was wrecked.
We remediated the mold, supported detox, did all the things… but then came the next wave:
• missing periods
• painful ovulation
• waking up every night-insomnia
• severe anxiety + panic attacks
• suddenly not tolerating caffeine or even a glass of wine- estrogen led histamine 
• hot flashes + night sweats
• migraines
• feeling completely unlike myself

At first I was told:
“It’s normal. It’s just mold.”

But finally, I ran my hormones.
My labs came back with…
zero testosterone, barely any progesterone, almost no estrogen.

No wonder I felt the way I did.
Call it perimenopause.
Call it hormone dysfunction.
Call it whatever you want.

But this is your reminder:
you do not have to accept feeling miserable as “normal.”
Your body is communicating with you. Listen to it.

PS after 5 days on HRT I feel normal again!!

It’s been almost a year since we went through mold toxicity and I’ve learned symptoms can look SO different for everyone.

For me it showed up as recurring sinus infections, immune dysregulation, my hormone gone, poor sleep, and every time my nervous system gets overloaded… I get sick again.

One thing that has honestly been a game changer lately:
placing the Aeon Patch and Glutathione Patch over my sinuses/cheekbones.

Aeon helps calm inflammation + nervous system stress
Glutathione helps support oxidative stress + drainage

Within minutes I usually notice:
• less pressure
• more open airways
• easier breathing
• better sleep

Ironically, Cardon has struggled with sinus issues for almost a year, it gets better, then flares again and Aeon has helped SO much with opening his airways so he can actually sleep. (More on this soon)

Just sharing what’s genuinely helped us through this season.

Sharing our hair regrowth story because we truly can’t gatekeep this.
Both me and saw incredible changes in our hair over just a few months.

And here’s the thing—hair loss usually isn’t “just postpartum,” “just hormones,” “just genetics,” or “just aging.” Hair is often one of the first things your body lets go of when it’s under stress and stuck in survival mode.

For us, it was the perfect storm:
mold exposure, stress, inflammation, nervous system overload, gut issues, and nutrient depletion.

The hair loss happened FAST.
And honestly… it was humbling.

But we also watched it come back.

What actually moved the needle:
✔ Addressing mold + supporting detox pathways
✔ GI support + H. pylori protocol
✔ Looking deeper than just TSH for thyroid health
✔ Prioritizing minerals, protein, and blood sugar balance
✔ Red light therapy
✔ Phototherapy patches (X39, Alavida, Aeon)

The patches became one of our favorite tools because they support stem cells, stress recovery, inflammation, and overall cellular health without adding more supplements.

Your body knows how to grow hair again when it finally feels safe enough to heal.

If you’ve been struggling with hair loss and want to know where to start or you’re curious about the patches and how we use them comment HAIR and I’ll send you the info.

Came to show the kids where surfing started, and makes the perfect boards for the job... also happens to be the land of a lot of humans near the ocean. 🤪

Right now, in this season, being a working mom, navigating stress, peri menopause, thalassemia, and healing from mold, cardio was not working for me. It left me depleted, not stronger.

So I shifted.

Now:
I’m at my goal weight
I’m stronger than I’ve ever been
I feel more supported in my body

Do I still have belly fat? Yes and it’s frustrating but mold didn’t help it spin me into a hormonal hell!

But this is the strongest I’ve ever felt. And that matters more.

If your workouts are leaving you drained, not energized, this might be your sign to pivot.

Strength training might be what your body is asking for.
The science backs it. Women need it.

Here I am doing a warm up higher rep set but I’m so proud I can do now deadlift 170lbs.
Shoutout to for the home gym and for the swag.

Neck tension, jaw clenching, headaches… this is one of my go-to setups since this is my typical stress pattern.

IceWave patches work by using phototherapy, not drugs,to stimulate your body’s own electrical and energetic pathways. It helps reduce pain signals, improve circulation, and relax tight muscle patterns.

Think of it like this:
→ the WHITE patch “finds” where the body is stuck
→ the TAN patch helps guide the tension away

You’re not just covering symptoms, you’re working with your body’s signaling system to shift the pattern.

This placement is especially helpful for:
• neck + trap tightness
• jaw tension / clenching
• stress headaches
• upper back restriction

DM me “NECK” and I’ll send you my full protocol + how to use it.

Thank you .co for the photo and placement inspiration!

Deep breaths.

Sometimes knowing so much makes it harder when it’s your own kids. I can help others find answers every day, but watching your child struggle brings a different kind of emotion. It’s scary and overwhelming but I also trust that this journey is showing me exactly what they need, just like it once did for me.
