The Benefits of Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy (RLT) is all the rage in holistic health right now – and for good reason! From supporting skin health and accelerating athletic recovery to reducing inflammation and improving mood, this emerging treatment supports a wide variety of health issues and conditions.
Therefore, we’re thrilled to announce that we’ve added Platinum LED’s Biomax 600 Full Body Red Light to our Revive Room. Read on to discover what it is, how it works, and the many benefits of red light therapy.
What Is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy uses low levels of red and near-infrared light to penetrate the skin and stimulate cellular repair. By interacting with our cells’ mitochondria (aka the power plants), red light stimulates the production of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), which is our bodies’ primary energy currency. And with more energy, our cells are better equipped to perform their specialized functions, repair themselves, and replicate. Additionally, enhanced ATP production helps reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and accelerate tissue repair.
Benefits of Red Light Therapy
Wondering if RLT is for you? Here’s a quick overview of the benefits of red light therapy:
Enhances Skin Health
Red light therapy rejuvenates the skin and supports healthy aging by boosting collagen and elastin production, repairing damage caused by UV rays, and reducing inflammation and bacteria. Additionally, it improves skin conditions like acne, age spots, and wrinkles. Early clinical trials have also found that red light therapy can relieve painful skin conditions like psoriasis.
Reduces Joint Pain and Inflammation
Another benefit of red light therapy is its ability to reduce joint pain and inflammation in people with arthritis. Researchers believe this is because red light releases nitric oxide, which enhances blood circulation, delivers nutrients and oxygen to damaged tissues, and promotes tissue repair and regeneration.
Supports Muscle and Injury Recovery
Red light therapy has been found to accelerate injury recovery and reduce the return-to-play period in athletes. It also enhances muscle recovery and overall athletic performance.
Improves Mental Health
Researchers have linked red light therapy to better mental well-being. More specifically, it’s been shown to improve mood while alleviating symptoms of depression and anxiety. It also improves sleep quality by regulating serotonin levels and balancing circadian rhythm.
Supports Wound Healing
RLT stimulates various physiological processes that aid in cellular regeneration. As a result, it contributes to faster healing times and better injury recovery.

Everything You Need to Know About Functional Medicine Fort Worth
In addition to our various healing modalities and detoxification services, Restore + Revive is a functional primary care practice in Fort Worth. But what does that mean, exactly? And how does that differ from a conventional medical practice?
Today’s blog explains the difference between functional and conventional medicine. Plus, we’re overviewing our most popular functional medicine Fort Worth services. Stay tuned!
The Difference Between Functional Medicine and Conventional Medicine
Unsure how functional medicine differs from conventional? Let’s break it down:
Symptom Management vs. Root Cause. Conventional medicine strives to relieve symptoms with medications or surgery. However, functional medicine dives a bit deeper to uncover and treat symptoms’ underlying cause(s).
Patient-Doctor Relationship. Functional medicine doctors are known to collaborate and communicate more with their patients. Dr. Brighton Miller, for example, offers concierge medicine – where her patients have 24/7 access to her via cell phone.
Personalized Care. Functional medicine takes a personalized approach to healthcare while traditional medicine usually follows standardized treatment protocols.
Prevention is Key. While conventional medicine focuses on treating existing conditions, functional medicine emphasizes preventative care and lifestyle changes to enhance overall well-being.
Services for Functional Medicine Fort Worth
As we mentioned, functional medicine takes a whole-person approach to healthcare. That means we take your physical, mental, and emotional well-being into account.
Instead of slapping a bandaid on symptoms, our functional medicine Fort Worth practitioners strive to uncover the root cause(s) of your symptoms and craft a personalized treatment plan accordingly.
Primary Care
Like any primary care provider, our functional medicine providers see both adults and kids for well or sick visits. Well visits are synonymous with your annual check-up, and sick visits offer a more thorough screening when you or your child isn’t feeling well. We also conduct physicals for school-aged children who need one for sports, summer camps, or a new school year.
Note that you don’t have to be a member to choose us as your primary care provider.
Concierge Medicine
Dr. Brighton Miller is an IFM-Certified Family Practice Doctor who offers concierge medicine services to both adults and kids. Essentially, that means her patients have 24/7, all-inclusive access to her for a flat fee.
Lab Testing
Functional lab testing allows us to get a full picture of a patient’s health. As a component of preventative care, it helps us detect any changes, protect against chronic diseases and conditions, and create a personalized plan for health and healing.
Lactation and Newborn Services
Our functional medicine Fort Worth offerings include a variety of lactation and newborn services. These include a breastfeeding assessment to measure intake, as well as education regarding pumping, bottle feeding, and infant oral anatomy.
Functional Medicine Fort Worth
While traditional medical practices focus on treating symptoms, functional medicine takes a whole-person approach to healthcare. As a functional medicine Fort Worth practice, our practitioners strive to identify and address the root cause(s) of disease and discomfort. Then, we’ll curate a personalized plan for healing.
