How Red Light Therapy Supported My Hormones, Anxiety, and Gut — Before and After Motherhood

As both a wellness entrepreneur and a mom, I understand what it means to carry a lot — physically, emotionally, and mentally.

Before I had my daughter, I was already tuned in to my health. I was managing anxiety, supporting my hormones, and nourishing my gut with intentional choices. But after becoming a mother, the stakes shifted. My body felt different. My emotions were closer to the surface. My nervous system needed more support — not just in theory, but in practice.

That’s when red light therapy became more than just something I offered — it became something I relied on.

Motherhood, Hormones & the Need for Regulation

After birth, hormone fluctuations can feel like a rollercoaster — even when you’re doing “all the right things.” I wasn’t in crisis, but I could feel the slow build of dysregulation:

• Mood changes that came out of nowhere

• Gut discomfort that didn’t respond to the usual tools

• A nervous system that felt just slightly off most days

That’s where red light therapy came in — not as a magic fix, but as a regulatory reset.

So, What Is Red Light Therapy?

Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, uses low-level red and near-infrared wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin and support your cells — specifically your mitochondria, which are responsible for producing ATP (your body’s energy currency).

By stimulating ATP production, red light therapy helps the body:

• Reduce inflammation

• Balance stress hormones (like cortisol)

• Support the nervous system

• Enhance circulation and oxygenation

• Repair cells at a foundational level

It’s not just for skin or pain. It’s a full-body recalibration tool — and it’s one I’ve integrated into my weekly rhythm ever since.

The Gut-Brain-Hormone Connection: Real Life Impact

Red light’s impact on my gut was the first unexpected win. As a practitioner, I knew the science — but as a mom, I felt it.

Within a few sessions, I noticed:

• Less bloating after meals

• More predictable digestion

• Fewer mood swings connected to what I ate

• A sense of calm that carried into my day

This makes sense when you consider that the gut and brain are in constant communication. When you reduce inflammation and support the nervous system, the digestive system follows — and vice versa.

A Tool That Works for Busy Women — Because That’s Me, Too

As a wellness entrepreneur, my days are full. As a mom, they’re even fuller. I don’t have time for 90-minute rituals or endless protocols — and I know my clients don’t either.

Red light therapy became my go-to because it’s:

• Efficient (just 10–15 minutes per session)

• Evidence-based (backed by real science)

• Available in-office or in-home for flexibility

• Safe, non-invasive, and deeply calming

It helps me show up better in my work and in motherhood — without burning out.
