At Momgevity, we don’t spotlight trends—we spotlight experts who deliver real results for real women. This month, I’m so excited to introduce Brooke McKeever, our January Expert of the Month and a true authority in UltraRed Light Therapy.
Brooke brings a rare mix of science, clinical precision, and real-world application—especially for moms navigating exhaustion, pain, sleep disruption, and nervous system overload. She doesn’t just explain how light therapy works; she shows how to use it correctly, safely, and consistently for outcomes that actually last.
I’m now handing the mic to Brooke—the following tips are straight from the Expert herself!
Hi, I’m Brooke McKeever, and I specialize in UltraRed Light Therapy—specifically helping people use it correctly, safely, and with intention so it actually delivers results.
I work with a lot of moms who are doing everything “right” but still feel exhausted, stiff, inflamed, or stuck in a wired-but-tired state. My focus isn’t trends or quick fixes—it’s understanding how light therapy supports the nervous system, recovery, sleep, and inflammation when the dosing and protocols are done properly.
The tips below are based on what I see work consistently in real life, not just in theory. This is how I help moms integrate UltraRed Light Therapy into busy schedules and get meaningful, measurable improvements without adding more stress.
💡 5 Benefits Moms Commonly Notice First
Better sleep, faster. Many moms report easier sleep onset and deeper sleep quality, especially once pain levels and stress load start to drop. When the nervous system isn’t stuck in “alert mode,” sleep comes more naturally.
Less morning stiffness. Neck, back, hip, and knee stiffness often improves after consistent use. This is especially noticeable for moms juggling workouts, long walks, or hours on their feet.
Faster recovery from workouts and daily life. From gym sessions to “mom life lifting,” recovery tends to feel smoother. Research on sports recovery is still evolving, but the overall trend is promising.
Healthier-looking skin. With proper use over 6–12 weeks, many people notice improved skin texture and glow. This is a long game—not an overnight fix—but the changes are real.
A calmer nervous system. Reduced pain and inflammation signaling often leads to a more regulated, steady nervous system. Many moms describe feeling less reactive and more resilient.
🎯 5 UltraRed Light Therapy Advantages (Why This Is Different)
Medical-grade dosing and delivery.Clinic-grade systems provide consistent power and coverage, so protocols are repeatable. Guesswork is removed.
Whole-body plus targeted treatment.Systemic sessions address overall inflammation and nervous system load, while spot treatments focus on problem areas.
Pulsing and tissue-specific protocols.Matching light patterns to tissue goals produces more intentional, predictable outcomes.
Safety screening and personalization.Hormones, sleep debt, medications, training load, and sensitivity all matter. Dosing should reflect real life—not a generic chart.
Stacking for better outcomes.Pairing PBM with smart habits like hydration, sleep timing, movement, massage, or sauna compounds results. The biology is already primed.
🚫 5 Mistakes That Quietly Sabotage Results
Using underpowered devices. Low irradiance means longer sessions and tighter positioning. Many people quit too soon and assume red light “doesn’t work.”
Inconsistent use.Three days on, then quitting won’t move the needle. Benefits come from cumulative dosing over weeks.
Overdoing it. Redness, headaches, agitation, or disrupted sleep are signals to back off—not push harder.
Treating through clothing. Dark, thick, or layered fabrics block light. Best results come from direct skin exposure (or very light clothing).
No tracking. If you don’t track at least one outcome—sleep, pain, energy—you’ll miss what’s actually working.
📝 Two Non-Negotiable Safety Guidelines
Use extra caution if pregnant, photosensitive, or dealing with tumors. Avoid the abdomen and pelvis during pregnancy. Do not self-treat over known or suspected tumors. Parameter control and screening matter.
Protect your eyes. Never stare into LEDs. Use proper eye protection for facial treatments.
Final Takeaway
Consistency beats intensity. Every time.
UltraRed Light Therapy isn’t about doing more—it’s about supporting your body so it can recover, regulate, and perform better with the life you’re already living.
