How to improve gut health was once an issue only when a person got some GI distress (as a centerpiece on its own or a sidepiece of some other disease) and was left with a decimated flora. Today, we know that most of our immunity is produced, resides in, and is dispatched from and by the gut microbiome.

We've moved beyond the one thing-one purpose mentality that has been prevalent since the dawn of technology, and red light therapy panels are no longer just red, although this has stuck in daily language. Phototherapy units now offer options of many wavelengths adjustable within a single phototherapy lamp. A delight for someone like me - with no independent means or pending inheritance.

The brain and body don’t shut off in a sort of biological idling, but have a lot to do, and sleeping better might save your life.
