Mindful Medicine
I don't know about you, but my social media has been FILLED with programs and products promoting sobriety from drinking.
Fresh off of Dry January, sobriety and the sober curious movement have been in the mainstream for months now, encouraging people to abstain from, or at least re-evaluate their relationships with alcohol.
That idea is at the heart of our guest's mission. #BingingSober was started by Colleen Ryan-Hensley, a 10-year Navy Veteran. advocate for mental health and expert in mental toughness.
Colleen struggled with depression since she was a teenager and instead of expressing her feelings and getting help, she was taught to "rub some dirt on it and get back in the game". To cope with depression, she started drinking and going on long runs to escape the things that hurt.
When she joined the Navy, she brought this mental and physical toughness with her. Sure, it was the perfect combo for being a great sailor, but not so great for relationships, health and overall well-being. It wasn't until well after her Navy days that she started focusing more on the feelings she kept bottled up and peeling away the decades of toughness she had built up around her.
Today, Colleen shows others how to avoid making these costly decisions and live a balanced life where escape and reality can live in harmony.
There are so many companies and doctors claiming they can help ease your pain. But what options have the least harmful side effects?
Light therapy is a great passive, non-invasive option to try out. And Bright Health Therapy is a non-invasive, drug-free, way to relieve this pain at home – all with infrared light therapy. It is a class 2 medical device that helps alleviate chronic pain and enhances recovery from injury or exercise. The device delivers the ideal wavelength of infrared light via the highest quality medical-grade LED lamps. Unlike a heating pad, it works below the skin’s surface to stimulate cells, oxygenate, and increase circulation. Simply rest feet on the unit for 20 minutes (up to three times daily). Most people begin to feel relief from their symptoms right away but others may require a few sessions of regular use. Note: Bright Health Therapy is strictly for pain relief and not a cure for chronic issues like neuropathy or arthritis.
Brendan McEvoy is joining us today to tell us more about the benefits of light therapy, he is the Director of Product Management for Compass Health Brands, a market and brand leader of consumer medical products which owns Bright Health Therapy.
