Shining Bright this Spring!
Are you seeking a natural way to increase your energy levels and enhance your overall well-being?
Look no further than the transformative powers of light therapy and the remarkable benefits of glutathione. At Lake Oswego Health Center, we are excited to introduce you to these cutting-edge therapies that can revitalize your body and elevate your energy levels to new heights.
Light Therapy
Illuminating Your Health
Have you ever considered the impact light can have on your energy levels and immune system? Light therapy, also known as phototherapy, harnesses the power of specific wavelengths of light to stimulate biological processes within the body. One remarkable device we’re proud to offer is the Hemealumen, designed to treat the blood with varying settings of ultraviolet light.
The Hemealumen utilizes a sophisticated combination of UV-A, UV-C, and visible wavelengths to deactivate the DNA of bacteria, viruses, and pathogens, reducing their ability to cause disease. But its benefits extend beyond pathogen elimination. The device is engineered to promote mitochondrial electron transfer, enhancing energetic abilities at a cellular level.
By targeting peak energy absorption spectrums unique to both NAD+ and NADH, the Hemealumen optimizes cellular function, potentially leading to increased energy levels and a stronger immune system. UV therapy, once hailed as a miracle treatment, is experiencing a resurgence in the face of rising antibiotic resistance and the need for alternative therapies against stubborn infections like sepsis.

Glutathione
Unlocking Your Body’s Natural Defenses
While light therapy focuses on energizing cells from the outside in, glutathione works from within, serving as the body’s master antioxidant. Glutathione plays a crucial role in detoxification, free radical scavenging, and immune function. Yet, despite its importance, many are unaware of this powerhouse molecule.
Low levels of glutathione can contribute to fatigue, aches, pains, and increased susceptibility to various diseases. Fortunately, Dr McMonagle sheds light on the transformative potential of glutathione: “Glutathione is produced naturally in our bodies but can decrease significantly with aging. The more we tax our system with toxins (chemicals in our environment or in our food and drinks), the more we need some extra help in the form of supplementation. “
Here are some signs of increased oxidative stress where added glutathione can help:
Chronic inflammatory conditions (asthma, autoimmune diseases)
Skin disorders (acne, psoriasis, rosacea)
Neurological changes (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s)
Conditions often attributed to aging (fatigue, poor sleep, joint pain, brain fog)

Enhancing Nutrition
Utilize Food to Naturally Increase Your Glutathione Production
Glutathione is composed of three amino acids: glutamine, glycine, and cysteine. While eating a diet that contains appropriate amounts of protein can help assure your body contains the necessary amino acids to create glutathione, there are some additional dietary habits that can further promote glutathione production.
Sulfur rich foods
Sulfur is an important component of glutathione creation. Incorporating foods such as: kale, broccoli, brussel sprout, onions, and garlic have been shown to improve your antioxidant status.
Vitamin C
Our body houses many natural antioxidants. Glutathione and vitamin C are high on the list of antioxidants in our body’s defensive system. Researchers have noticed that those who get enough vitamin C in their diet have higher levels of glutathione. While the exact method is not known, it is theorized that vitamin C attacks free radicals first, thereby saving glutathione from having to be depleted.
Whey protein
As discussed above, glutathione is made from three amino acids. One of the most important being cysteine. Having high levels of cysteine intake can increase production in our body. Whey protein contains a large concentration of amino acid cysteine, however may not be advised for those who are lactose intolerant.
