Gut health and digestion | Red light for longevity with Dr. Zulia Frost (Part 4)

The gut microbiome has a huge impact on the way we live our lives and our ability to stay healthy.  In this final episode of our series on red light therapy, Dr. Zulia Frost, clinical director at Recharge Health, creators of the FlexBean device, discusses how red light can benefit gut health and digestion by stimulating the gut microbiome, promoting the production of antioxidants, improving blood circulation, and reducing muscle spasms. 

Dr. Frost also emphasizes the importance of personalizing diets based on genetic tests and explains that many people suffer from gut-related problems due to stress, pollution and a poor diet.  

We discuss the importance of a multifaceted approach to health optimization - from embracing the sunlight and daily stretching to consuming food with gratitude and sharing positive energy.

In this conversation we cover:

• How the human gut is often affected by issues related to polluted food, depleted soil, high sugar intake, and stress.
• Stress directly impacts the functioning of the digestive system, causing bowel contractions and hindering proper digestion.
• Pollutants, such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, can also negatively affect the gut.
• Electromagnetic pollutants, like static electricity, can debilitate the gut.
• Worries and ambiance can also affect digestion, with relaxing environments promoting better assimilation of food.
• Genetic DNA testing can help determine the best diet for individual needs, as different bodies have varying capabilities to break down certain nutrients.
• Protein is crucial for the body, but the type of protein consumed can affect gut-related issues and stomach pain.
• Red light therapy can benefit gut health by stimulating the microbiome, producing subcellular melatonin, improving blood circulation, and reducing muscular spasms.
• FlexBeam, a targeted red light device, can be used on the stomach to improve digestion.
• Using FlexBeam after meals can help redirect blood flow to the digestive system and address issues like constipation and poor food absorption.
• Red light therapy has a systemic effect on the body, benefiting different cells and tissues, and is a non-invasive and side-effect-free solution for various health concerns.
