I’ve often talked about the benefits of red light and heat therapy (and even cold therapy), but those health modalities aren’t always accessible to everyone. Today I’m talking with Katie Kaps and Lauren from HigherDose. Their goal is to make these powerful health devices affordable to have in your own home!
Katie Kaps has a degree in international economics from Georgetown and has been in the world of investment baking and venture capital. Lauren, her business partner, is a former fitness model who had an award-winning extreme workout show. Together they now run HigherDose where they offer spa-focused, next-level health products.
Getting outside (especially barefoot), is great for aligning our body’s energy with the earth. Not everyone can safely do that every day though (think inner city or winter). Devices like PEMF mats can provide the same benefits and are a game changer when it comes to improving health. And not everyone has the budget or space for an in home sauna, but a sauna blanket is a cheaper way to get the same benefits.
Our talk today is all about how these health products can make a big difference in our health… all while being more accessible and affordable than their predecessors. So please join me as I chat with Lauren and Katie!
