Red Light Therapy is a type of treatment that involves exposing the skin, muscle tissue, and other parts of the body to low levels of red light. It is an emerging therapeutic technique that shows promise in treating wrinkles, reducing scars, redness, acne, and other signs of aging. Red light therapy has been touted to treat medical conditions and reportedly improves the appearance of skin. There have been reports of burns and blistering from using RLT units, but it is generally considered safe and painless. When used with a photosensitizer, the therapeutic effects of red light therapy have been proven, according to some medical experts.
Adaptogens are active ingredients found in certain plants and mushrooms that can help the body deal with stress, anxiety, and fatigue. They are considered safe and have been shown to improve feelings of calmness and some aspects of memory performance in healthy young adults. Popular adaptogens include Panax ginseng, Rhodiola rosea, and Schisandra chinensis. While research suggests they can be helpful in decreasing symptoms of fatigue and exhaustion, they should be used alongside other therapies for people with chronic and acute medical conditions. Adaptogens can be found in certain herbs and mushrooms, and there are some foods high in adaptogens.

Fertility benefits refer to employer-provided coverage for individuals seeking fertility treatments, including diagnostic and treatment services. These benefits can include coverage for infertility diagnosis, medication, in-vitro fertilization, and support for adoption and surrogacy. Companies are increasingly investing in fertility benefits to reduce costs, expand their commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and attract and retain top talent. Fertility benefits are not usually a separate health insurance policy but are covered under healthcare plans by many health insurers. Some states, such as California and New York, mandate fertility preservation coverage.
