BLOG POST 5 OF 6 - HORMONE HEALTH (Thyroid, Fertility & Energy Regulation) + SLEEP

THYROID HEALTH

Red light therapy can increase thyroid hormones. Thyroid hormones are responsible for energy production in the human body - if they are operating optimally, you won’t feel tired and sluggish.

Red light therapy is proving to be a popular and natural treatment for hypothyroidism* (A 2013 study found that red light therapy improved thyroid function and reduced autoimmune thyroid antibodies in people with Hashimoto's disease.) This is particularly true in the case of Hashimoto's thyroiditis (where the immune system attacks the thyroid gland in the neck and impairs its function.)

WEIGHT LOSS

For people with normal thyroid functioning, red light therapy still enhances thyroid functioning and can assist in weight loss.**

FERTILITY

With regards to fertility, research shows that red light therapy can improve semen production, quality and survival in males.***, in addition to assisting with erectile dysfunction.****

Red light therapy is also believed to increase fertility in females.*****

LET’S TALK ABOUT SLEEP

By committing to regular red light therapy sessions at the correct time of day, you will allow your body to secrete more melatonin. Melatonin is a hormone that helps you to fall asleep quicker and sleep deeper and longer. (For sleep issues, red light therapy should take place in the mornings.)

LET’S TALK ABOUT ENERGY LEVELS

Red light therapy increases the efficiency at which your body produces energy. It is great for assisting with fatigue and restoring healthy energy levels. ******
