🌿 Reclaiming Your Health from the Inside Out with Routines & These Great Tips!

Discover how grounding, red light therapy, and mindful evening routines can help reduce inflammation, restore calm, and support deep healing—from the inside out.

Living in a Constant “Go-Go-Go” World

In today’s fast-paced, tech-driven world, our bodies are constantly exposed to artificial light, electromagnetic fields, chronic stress, tons of toxins and inflammation—all of which quietly drain our energy, disrupt sleep, and accelerate aging.

If you’ve ever felt wired but tired, achy, or inflamed without a clear reason, you’re not alone. Our modern lifestyle keeps us in a near-constant state of activity, leaving little room for our nervous system to rest and repair.

That’s why creating a simple, restorative evening routine can be life-changing. It’s not about adding more to your to-do list—it’s about giving your body the calm it craves to heal naturally.

Let’s explore how grounding tools, red light therapy and simple supplements and routines can help you reset from the inside out.

Red Light Therapy: Science-Backed Healing for Every Cell

Red light therapy (RLT) isn’t just a wellness trend—it’s backed by decades of research showing its ability to stimulate cellular repair and reduce inflammation.

Clinical studies in journals like Photomedicine and Laser Surgery and Frontiers in Neuroscience show that red and near-infrared light can:

• Reduce inflammation in muscles and joints

• Accelerate tissue repair after workouts or injuries

• Increase collagen for smoother, healthier skin

• Improve circulation and lymphatic flow

• Relieve arthritis pain and joint stiffness

• Boost mitochondrial function for more energy

If you deal with chronic muscle pain, joint stiffness, or sluggish recovery, red light therapy can be a natural game-changer.

Grounding: The Missing Link Between You and the Earth

Grounding—or Earthing—is the simple act of reconnecting your body to the Earth’s natural electrical charge. Modern living has separated us from this vital connection, thanks to rubber soles, concrete floors, and constant indoor environments.

But research shows that direct contact with the Earth (or using grounding tools like mats or sheets) can have profound health benefits:

• Reduce inflammation markers

• Improve heart rate variability (a measure of stress resilience)

• Enhance sleep quality

• Lower cortisol (the stress hormone)

• Speed up muscle recovery

When your body connects with the Earth’s electrons, it balances your internal systems—calming the nervous system and neutralizing free radicals. As humans we work up and create a positive charge withint out body. The earth is a negative charge and when we put our bare feet on the ground it helps us at a cellular level. This transfer of electrons can help neutralize positively charged free radicals in the body, reducing inflammation and promoting overall health.

Build an Evening Routine That Heals

True healing happens when your body feels safe, grounded, and calm.
Here’s how to create an evening ritual that trains your body to move from “fight or flight” into “rest and repair.” Find things that work for you and will get your body into a parasympathetic state to help you relax and rest easy.

1. Dim the Lights

Swap bright white bulbs for HOOGA amber or red light bulbs as the sun sets. Turn all overhead lighting off and use lamps only or use these red light bulbs. This helps your body naturally produce melatonin, the sleep hormone and relax the body to let it know it is almost time for rest.

2. Magnesium Supplements & Ashwagandha

Magnesium Supplements are excellent in calming the body- specifically Magnesium glycinate. This link is my favorite brand because it also includes B vitamins which is also calming and most everyone is deficient in magnesium so in my opinion- this is a Must Have. There are also great options of magnesium to rub on your feet and legs as well. Ashwagandha is another great option for promoting relaxation and lowering the stress hormone cortisol which supports the body's natural production of melatonin.

3. Unplug and Unwind

Avoid screens 1–2 hours before bed. Perhaps grab a calming caffeine-free hot tea- Lavendar, peppermint, lemon balm, ashwaghanda are great. Try reading with a HOOGA Book Light instead—its gentle glow won’t disrupt your circadian rhythm.

4. Shake today off

That's right- Stand up, gently shake your arms, legs, lightly bounce for 30 seconds. If you have a vibration plate ro Trampoline, those are great to use also. This releases and stuck energy in the body and if you had a rough day- you certainly want to shake that off before you rest!

5. Ground Yourself

Use a grounding mat while journaling or meditating. It helps discharge built-up energy and realigns your body with the Earth’s natural frequency.

6. Stretching

Try a few gentle, restorative poses like Child's Pose or Legs-Up-The-Wall. This helps release physical tension without raising your heart rate.

7. Red Light Session

Spend 10–15 minutes in front of your HOOGA red light full body pod before bed. It helps calm inflammation, support cell repair, and promote deeper sleep.

8. Take a Detox Bath

Add Epsom salts or magnesium flakes to warm water to relax tense muscles. Light candles, breathe deeply, soft jazz or healing vibration music and release the day’s stress. You could also do Dry Brushing before you step into the bath to help move and open the lymphatic system.

9. Essential Oil Diffuser

Adding a few drops of a calming and clean essential oil can be very calming. Essential oils can be calming for bed because their aromatic compounds interact with the brain's limbic system, which controls emotions and mood. Lavender, bergamot, chomoline, cedarwood, can relax the body and if you have a stuffy nose you can use peppermint, tea tree or eucalyptus are all great options.

10. Breathe + Reflect

Take five slow, deep mindful breaths. Reflect on one thing you’re grateful for. Gratitude activates the parasympathetic nervous system—signaling your body it’s safe to rest. FREE to do & so important! This is excellent for those with racing minds- Really working to focus on your breaths can help you calm the mind and get to sleep. This signals saftety to your nervous system and calms the body down. This is also great if you can’t sleep- remember to calm your mind of those racing thoughts & just focus on your breath. If you still struggle with sleep or a racing mind- Reach out- It's possible you have a certain gene mutation that with specific methylated vitamins that might be extremelt helpful to you!

Why It Matters

Chronic inflammation is at the root of most modern health issues—from fatigue and anxiety to autoimmune conditions. The more time your body spends grounded and relaxed, the more efficiently it can repair, detoxify, and thrive.

Combining grounding and red light therapy with small, mindful habits can transform how you sleep, heal, and feel—without adding more stress to your routine. Sleep if one of the most powerful tools we have for our body to heal and repair so treat it as a Non- negotiable and work to get to bed before 10pm with a consistent routine so you keep a solid circadiam rhythm.
