Joovv

This podcast is sponsored by Joov Red Light Therapy! Red light therapy is a simple, non-invasive treatment that delivers concentrated natural light to your skin and cells. Red light therapy is quick and easy: all you have to do is sit or stand in the light for 5 to 15 minutes, ideally every day. This gives the mitochondria in your cells the natural light they need to make the energy that powers your body.

Friends, I have recently become painfully aware of how light can impact overall health. I was on blue light overload and struggling with weekly migraines, sleep issues, and chronic infections, and it led me to finally try Joovv red light therapy.

There was no bigger skeptic than me on this. But I have seen a dramatic shift in my health since using my Joovv device daily, specifically my migraines have completely disappeared, and I’ve also noticed more consistent, deeper sleep, and less fatigue. I’ve also rebound very quickly from infections, and, I haven’t had anxiety like I would expect during this sort of crazy time in our world.

You guys know I don’t do anything unless it’s worth it, and unless I’ve done my research. There are literally thousands of clinical studies on red light therapy, and the research continues to grow as more and more people are becoming aware of its proven benefits.

By stimulating energy production in the body and improving mitochondrial function, studies show red light therapy reduces inflammation, it speeds up muscle recovery and aids in the healing of injury, and it can significantly improve sleep, circadian rhythms, and overall mood, including anxiety and depression.

Explore the Joovv red light therapy devices by going to joovv.com/wellfed. Joovv is third-party tested for safety and performance, and they have a modular design so you can start small and build from there.

Puracy

Y’all I found a hand sanitizer that has absolutely no fragrance, no triclosan, no dyes—it is from Puracy, which is a company that produces safe and effective non toxic cleaning products. All of their products use natural and organic formulas.The soap is formulated by doctors, is entirely plant-derived, and contains no B.S. (bad stuff) like sulfates, parabens, harsh chemicals, and so on.

They have two types of sanitizers. One that is completely alcohol-free. The second one, they have just created this month and launched for the first time. It’s 70% alcohol, which is hospital-grade sanitizer softened with some plant-based moisturizers. Alcohol isn’t something they usually ever put in their products, and their normal sanitizer is just as effective (and uses a FDA-approved germ killer), but they are responding to what the CDC is saying and trying to support essential workers.

Go to puracy.com/wellfed to get 10% off your entire order, you can order soap and sanitizer right there. You’ll get 10% off plus free shipping on orders of $35 or more.
