Red Light Anti-Aging
Red light therapy has been shown to benefit health and even have some anti-aging properties. Let’s dive into the science on red light therapy for anti-aging.
The ScienceThe Science Behind Red Light Therapy: Red light therapy, also known as low-level light therapy or photobiomodulation, involves exposing the skin to specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light. These wavelengths penetrate deep into the skin and interact with cells, triggering various cellular mechanisms that promote rejuvenation and vitality. The photons absorbed by the cells stimulate mitochondrial function, increase ATP production (the cell’s energy currency), and promote cellular repair and regeneration.
The anti-aging benefits of red light therapy are grounded in scientific research. For instance, a study published in the “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” demonstrated that red light therapy improves skin complexion, reduces wrinkles, and increases collagen production[^1]. Another study published in the “Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy” revealed that red light therapy enhances skin elasticity and improves the appearance of age-related skin issues[^2]. These studies highlight the remarkable effects of red light therapy on skin health and aging.
Anti-Aging Benefits of Red Light Therapy:
Reduction of Wrinkles and Fine Lines: Red light therapy has shown promising results in reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. By stimulating collagen synthesis and elastin production, red light therapy improves skin elasticity and firmness, smoothing out the signs of aging. A study published in the “Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology” found that red light therapy significantly reduces wrinkle severity and improves overall skin texture[^3]. Embrace the radiance of red light to unveil a more youthful complexion!Enhanced Skin Tone and Texture: Uneven skin tone and texture are common concerns as we age. Red light therapy can help address these issues by promoting a more even complexion and refining skin texture. The wavelengths of red light stimulate blood circulation, delivering vital nutrients and oxygen to the skin cells. This increased circulation enhances the skin’s natural radiance and promotes a smoother, more refined texture.Accelerated Wound Healing and Tissue Repair: Red light therapy’s rejuvenating effects extend beyond cosmetic benefits. It also aids in wound healing and tissue repair, supporting the body’s natural regenerative processes. Research published in the “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” highlights the ability of red light therapy to enhance cell migration, collagen synthesis, and angiogenesis, all crucial factors for wound healing[^4]. By accelerating tissue repair, red light therapy contributes to a more youthful and vibrant appearance.Incorporating Red Light Therapy into Your Anti-Aging Regimen: Integrating red light therapy into your skincare routine is both simple and effective. Red light therapy devices, such as LED panels or handheld devices, are readily available for home use. It is important to choose a high-quality device that emits the appropriate wavelengths and follow the recommended treatment protocols. Consistency is key, so establish a regular schedule and allow the rejuvenating power of red light to work its magic.
Conclusion: Red light therapy could aid in giving you a youthful look. Its scientifically-backed benefits, including wrinkle reduction, improved skin tone and texture, and accelerated wound healing, make it a valuable addition to any anti-aging regimen. Embrace the rejuvenating power of red light therapy and let your inner glow illuminate the world.
OTHER RED LIGHT FACE MASK BENEFITSWrinkles and Fine LinesSore JawEczemaMigrainesAcneScar TissueWound healingRelaxationRazor BurnsIngrown facial hairThe emergence of red light face masks has revolutionized the way we approach skincare, providing a non-invasive and effective solution for a wide range of skin concerns. From reducing the appearance of wrinkles and acne to promoting collagen production and enhancing overall skin health, these devices offer a multitude of benefits. Incorporating red light therapy into your skincare routine can help you achieve a radiant, youthful complexion and boost your confidence. However, it’s important to remember that individual results may vary, and it’s always best to consult a skincare professional or dermatologist before incorporating any new treatment into your regimen. Embrace the power of red light face masks and unlock the secret to glowing, rejuvenated skin.
WHERE TO GET RED LIGHT MASKA few months ago, I emailed my friend Andy who owns Bon Charge that I wish he had a red light mask. I know he is always on the pursuit of health so I figured he would be interested in such a product.

Jalapeno Popper Chaffles with Homemade Ranch
[image error]WHERE TO GET INGREDIENTS FOR JALAPENO POPPER CHAFFLESIf you haven’t noticed, I do not allow advertising on my site.
I just didn’t agree with some of the products that were advertised. They were keto products, but they were unhealthy and I would never personally eat most of the products. It was hard to say no to blog advertisements; they pay thousands of dollars a month, but I just felt uncomfortable about having the products I didn’t recommend on my website.
Instead, I have created a shopping list where you can find all the healthy ingredients that are difficult to find in the grocery store (and if you do find them, they are often very expensive).
I have done a lot of detective work and found the lowest prices on for all of the products I use and love. Everything from food, pantry items, kitchen tools, supplements, and skin products are on my list.
I rarely waste time in the grocery store because I find everything online for a way better price!
All you have to do is click on the words in my recipes and it will take you right to the correct item. If you add them to your cart I get a tiny commission that helps me afford to keep practicing recipes (Recipe experimenting can costing me a fortune!…but I love helping!).
I also have GREAT HOLIDAY GIFT IDEAS on the list!
You can get my full shipping list HERE.Happy Shopping and THANK YOU for all your support!!!

“Hi! I feel like I needed to do a personal post about how food changed my life! The pic on the left, I was doing a lot of walking, some exercise and thought I was eating alright. Well family genetics were definitely winning. 1-1/2yrs later drs we’re talking about putting me on meds for hypertension, if the weight didn’t come off. Also had foot surgery and feeling down. Then just before the pandemic (3wks) I decided to try keto/low carb and weight just started to come off. I did everything wrong/right. Low carb wraps, the breads, and tired. Then I found Maria Emmerich, who personally said to me. If you just want recipes please help yourself. Or if you need personal coaching reach out I’m happy to help. That touched me on so many levels. With the Emmerich’s way, I am over 80lbs down and 60+ inches and wanting to continue for me! This has been a great journey so far! Can’t wait to see where it leads. Maria, Craig and family thank you from the bottom of my heart” Irene

Sleep and Weight Loss
Have you ever noticed after a night of poor sleep, you are extra hungry? Do you often fall off your diet after a poor night of sleep?
After a poor night of sleep, your blood sugars are automatically higher causing you to be hungrier, you crave carbohydrates and you often gain weight over consecutive nights of poor sleep.
Many people gain weight in the summer and one main reason is that they skimp on sleep. It is easy to get 8-10 hours of sleep when it gets dark out at 4:30pm in January, but who wants to go to bed when it is still light out?
I work with a lot of gastric bypass patients and in the past, we use to think that they had sleep apnea after they gained weight BUT we now know that the lack of sleep = leptin resistance = don’t feel the sense of feeling full = over eating = weight gain! bad bad bad.
Often times I talk with clients on the phone and they tell me they are eating from my meal plans but their blood sugars are still high.
My first question is “How many hours do you sleep?” There is a huge connection to our health and sleep. Only getting 6 hours at night isn’t going to help heal you in ways that you need!
Many studies connect a link between sleep and the hormones that manipulate our eating behavior; which are ghrelin and leptin. Have you ever experienced a sleepless night followed by a day when no matter what you ate you never felt satisfied? I hate that! This is the outcome when leptin and ghrelin get out of balance. Leptin and ghrelin work like a “checks and balances” that manage hunger and fullness. Ghrelin, produced in the stomach, increases appetite, while leptin, produced in fat cells, sends a message to our brain when we are full.
Lack of sleep causes ghrelin levels to increase and your leptin levels to decrease. This imbalance causes us to intensely crave food and never feel full. The worst part is that we don’t crave broccoli, we crave high calorie sweets and starchy foods. Over time, this imbalance can easily lead to long-term weight gain.
Getting at least 8 hours of restful sleep can be key to health, weight loss, mental clarity and so much more. One of the best ways to ensure a good restful night of sleep is to get your circadian clock in rhythm and get your body to naturally product melatonin at the right times.
Our eye has a receptor that responds to the presence of light and signals the SCN (suprachiasmatic nucleus) in our brain. We have known that blue light effects the production of melatonin but it is now shown that some wavelengths of green light also effect melatonin production. The activation of the SCN (presence of blue and green lights in the eye) prevents the pineal gland from producing melatonin, the hormone that signals sleep or drowsiness. The lack of blue light in the eye signals the pineal gland to produce melatonin which inducing drowsiness and natural sleep cycles. This diagram shows this process.
Image Source: www.nature.com/articles/497S10a
So it is critical that we support our circadian rhythms to enable good sleep cycles. But today we are bombarded by these wavelengths of blue and green light all day long.
In the evening when the sun is down and we should natural be setting our circadian clocks for sleep, we have interior lights, computer screens, TVs, phones and more that are bombarding our eyes with these critical blue and green wavelengths of light and interrupting our circadian clocks. If you have trouble falling asleep, adding glasses that block these wavelengths of blue and green light can be the key to naturally falling asleep better and getting better sleep.
We have written about this for a while. A few years ago in our “The 30 Day Ketogenic Cleanse” book and more recently in our book “Keto.“. But with further understanding of how blue AND green light at certain wavelengths can effect sleep, we searched for glasses that would block all the wavelengths to enable natural sleep cycles to improve.
Key takeaways from the studies on the eye light receptor:446–477nm was identified as having the strongest effect on melatonin suppression. You need to make sure 100% from 446-477nm is blocked after darkPolychromatic action spectra were reasonably consistent in indicating that the spectral region between 450 and 550nm provides the strongest stimulation of circadian and neuroendocrine responses. What this means is the wavelengths of light between 400-550nm should be completely blocked for optimal melatonin secretion after dark.Past studies have shown that the peak wavelength sensitivity was 555nm (Rodieck, 1998) (5). Previous data (Brainard et al, 2001) (6) and those presented in the 2001 study (4) do not support this hypothesis. The results clearly demonstrate that 555nm is significantly weaker in suppressing melatonin. This is a great study for determining the optimal range of artificial light to block after dark and the study results and graph clearly suggests that the major disruption zone for melatonin is between 400-550nm with a peak between 446-477nm. It is clear we must block 100% blue and green light from 400-550nm to have optimal melatonin secretion after dark. Almost every blue light blocking pair of glasses on the market does not do this. A cross section of test results from a spectrometer have been released that show just this (7).We searched for a company that made glasses that blocked 100% of these blue and green wavelengths. We found the company called Bon Charge. They make glasses that block 100% of the blue and green wavelengths needed to naturally allow your body to produce melatonin.
When you get a good night’s rest your body has adequate time to repair and rejuvenate.
TOP 10 TIPS for QUALITY SLEEPAvoid sugar and foods high in carbohydrates, like popcorn, chips, and ice cream, especially in the evening hours. It causes low quality sleep and it stalls our metabolism. When blood sugar rises too much, it falls too low, causing you to wake up because of low blood sugar and hunger.Add in salt before bedtime. When people start the keto diet, or start to do longer fasting, sleep often suffers. One reason is because lack of sodium levels in the evening really interferes with quality sleep! Follow a regular sleep schedule by going to bed and rising at the same time. I know I sound like a loser, but I’m usually in bed by 8:30pm and rise at 6am.Before bed do something to relax your muscles and your mind (meditation, gentle stretching, yoga or deep breathing exercises).Reduce or eliminate caffeine (chocolate has caffeine, so beware). Despite working at coffee shops since I was 15 years old, I cut out all coffee and caffeine and never felt better!Darken your bedroom with heavy drapes. We have black-out blinds.Turn the heat down. We often sleep with the windows cracked open even in the winter; I sleep the best at about 57-60 degrees.Try cold therapy before bed. I do cold therapy nightly to cool my body down to help with mitochondria health and increasing sleep.Women: Get your progesterone level tested. I often see women that can fall asleep, but wake up in the middle of the night. I have helped copious amounts of women get good sleep with natural supplements to help with hormone health.WEAR BON CHARGE blue blocking glasses! I usually put my BON CHARGE blue blocking glasses on around 5pm. Yep, 5pm! It is best to stop blocking all the blue light about 2-3 hours before bedtime to allow the body to naturally produce melatonin. With stylish blue blocking glasses you can start wearing them in the evening while still hanging out with friends. They even make a good conversation starter! You are biohacking your sleep.Click HERE to get yourself a stylish pair of BON CHARGE glasses!

In addition to our amazing supplement certification add on, we now have three new add ons available exclusively to coaches! Here is an outline of each of the three new services:

Every coach gets lifetime access to all the materials in the program. So every year you will get tons of new content to keep you up to date on the latest science and information.
Here is another testimony from our Certified Keto Coach Lisa!
“I have been a Food Wellness Coach for many years as well as embracing and coaching carnivore and ketogenic lifestyles. I was certified in both of these Keto-Adapted courses along with the Keto-Adapted Supplements course. The amount of content is incredible and the support during the course is wonderful. Even if you are already coaching and want to expand your knowledge, improve your business, and partner with two exceptionally knowledgeable, ketogenic masters, take these courses!” – Lisa
Meal Planner Tool!One thing that can be a challenge is making meal plans for clients. All coaches with active coach support (you get 90 days included and can add more support if you like) can use our amazing new meal planner tool to make meal plans for your clients!

“To expand my nutritional health knowledge and make me a better coach, I was looking for a health coaching program that would provide a solid foundation in the science and functional medical aspects of Ketogenic and Carnivore diets, and Supplements. With integrity, this course by the Emmerich’s included many peer reviewed studies, medical articles and presentations to confirm the information that was being taught. Maria and Craig taught me the nutritional healthy way to coach my clients into a new lifestyle. They share how to overcome anticipated obstacles, dispel myths and mistakes which will help my clients succeed. This challenging program was very well done with step by step videos to make the large amount of information manageable. The weekly coaching calls and access to large database of questions and answers helped me get answers to things I was not sure about. Maria and Craig responded to my questions quickly if I did not find them on the coaches Q&A page.
The meal plans and thousands of recipes I was given access to changed my perspective on what it is to eat healthy and still have delicious options in any food category. Little did I know that this exceptional coaching program would change my health as well. I am not longer on thyroid medication and am no longer pre-diabetic. Maria and Craig are a true inspiration with all of the hard work and creativity they put into the program and their recipes. From their teaching, I am grateful to now have the ability to help my clients on a broader level.
If you’re looking for a professional, science based, turn key program to start or enhance your coaching program and your health I would highly recommend Maria & Craig Emmerich’s Keto Adapted coaching program.” Cari Kamp

“I have been a nutrition consultant for 30 years and I found Maria a few years ago. I completed their certification programs and my business is booming. It was a huge game changer and I am able to help clients reach goals that were impossible to achieve without the Emmerich info. Best program ever! Don’t waist time with anything else. Love it ” – Deann
“I decided to get certified in keto/carnivore and just wanted to let this group know of the hard work Maria and Craig Emmerich have put into their program. The most impressive part is they share their information with everyone on this group for free. I feel their passion. I’m very excited making this step into my health and future.
I have been following them for about 6 months after coming from another keto group that carb cycles. It was not working for me. Not only have I lost weight but I lost pain and can finally workout and not have to take a week off because I’m so exhausted. I’m almost 55 with a neck fusion c5-c6 and I haven’t had a headache in almost 2 months. I had headaches every single day for years. I have only had 1 migraine this year.Eternally grateful for the information you you both provide.” – KimCLICK HERE to get your spot! Space is limited!
