Resonance Reimagined: The Light System is Here
Backed by over 30 years of research, The Light System is an energy-based wellness technology that uses specific light and frequency emissions to support coherence in the human biofield. By creating low-stimulation environments where the body feels safe enough to relax, TLS may promote a range of benefits over time, including improved sleep, reduced physical tension, and emotional clarity.
'Our users often say they feel calmer right away and then notice other shifts later,' says Jarrod, chief operating officer of The Light System. 'Sleep improves. Energy returns. They feel lighter emotionally. It's subtle but powerful.'
'It's not a quick fix,' Jarrod adds. 'It's a new way of engaging with wellness, one that builds over time.'
TLS environments are carefully designed spaces that combine tuned light frequencies with intentional interior elements. These are not treatment rooms. They are calming sanctuaries where people can simply sit or lie down for several hours in a safe, quiet setting.
The technology does not treat or diagnose any condition. Instead, it works by fostering an atmosphere of deep calm, where the body's own regulatory systems may begin to operate more efficiently.
'TLS invites people to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with their natural rhythm,' says Jarrod. 'That's where real wellness begins.'
TLS is currently available through select wellness spaces, with multi-hour sessions and flexible access options. For those interested in extending the experience at home, TLS also offers a selection of approved wellness products via thelightsystems.com.
'We wanted TLS to be accessible,' Jarrod explains. 'Whether someone visits a center or creates a calming space at home, the experience can still support long-term well-being.'
The Light System is not a treatment. It's a philosophy – one that focuses on rest, resonance, and allowing the body space to recalibrate. There are no substances, no pressure, and no expectations.
'People often tell us it's the first time they've felt safe enough to truly relax,' Jarrod shares. 'That's the environment we aim to create, where healing happens because you're simply allowed to rest.'
With its non-invasive foundation, cumulative benefits, and gentle approach, The Light System is carving out a new path in wellness – one that respects stillness and allows the body to take the lead.
Because wellness shouldn't be a luxury – it should be a return to what already lives within you.

Justin Timberlake reveals ‘relentlessly debilitating' Lyme disease symptoms — Do you live in Ontario's high risk areas?
Justin Timberlake has Lyme disease. The famous pop star confirmed his battle with 'relentlessly debilitating' Lyme disease symptoms in an Instagram post Thursday . 'When I first got the diagnosis I was shocked for sure,' he wrote. 'But, at least I could understand why I would be onstage and in a massive amount of nerve pain or, just feeling crazy fatigue or sickness.' Timberlake faced criticism for recent performances in Europe over what fans described as low-energy shows. It appears Lyme disease may be to blame. 'I was faced with a personal decision. Stop touring? Or, keep going and figure it out,' Timberlake wrote on Instagram. 'I decided the joy that performing brings me far outweighs the fleeting stress my body was feeling. I'm so glad I kept going.' Timberlake just completed his 'Forget Tomorrow World Tour' in Istanbul, Turkey on Tuesday. The tour started in Vancouver last April. A post shared by Justin Timberlake (@justintimberlake) Notable Canadian celebrities who have shared their diagnosis with Lyme disease include Avril Lavigne, Justin Bieber and Shania Twain. The blacklegged tick is known to transmit four tick-borne diseases — anaplasmosis, babesiosis, Lyme disease and Powassan virus — that are listed as Diseases of Public Health Significance by Public Health Ontario (PHO). Lyme disease occurs in stages. Symptoms can vary from person to person after being bitten by an infected blacklegged tick or western blacklegged tick. Signs and symptoms of each stage can overlap. 'In some people, Lyme disease may present in a later stage without a history of prior signs or symptoms,' the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) explains. Early signs and symptoms of Lyme disease can manifest as: The erythema migrans rash is the most commonly reported sign of Lyme disease. PHAC explains it's an expanding skin rash that usually starts at the site of the tick bite slowly expanding over several days. The rash can be circular or oval-shaped, looking like a target or bull's eye. It can go unnoticed if it's on dark skin or a part of the body that's hard to see. PHAC says some people might not develop a rash at all. The bull's-eye shape of this rash is a clear sign of Lyme disease. Later symptoms of Lyme disease can appear days to months after an infected tick bite and might manifest as: In very rare cases, death can occur due to the complications involving an infection of the heart. Lyme disease is a growing concern in Canada particularly in southern Ontario, which is considered one of a few hot spots for ticks. Tick populations continue to climb in Ontario, as well as other parts of Canada. This year is expected to follow the trend . The Public Health Agency of Canada has a tool where you can type in your postal code and it will tell you if you're located in a risk area for Lyme disease. Some risk areas include spots in Windsor, Whitby, Waterloo, Uxbridge, The Blue Mountains, Tay Valley, St. Catharines, Smiths Falls, Scugog, Richmond Hill, Rideau Lakes, Renfrew, Prince Edward County, Port Hope, Perth, Peel, Ottawa, Oshawa, Orillia, Oakville, Niagara Falls, Newmarket, Mississauga, Milton, Markham, Hamilton, Clarington, Caledon, Burlington, Brampton, Kawartha Lakes, Barrie, Ajax and more. Map of five areas known for risk to tick exposure in Canada. The number of human reported Lyme disease cases in Canada in 2024 was 5,239, according to preliminary data from the PHAC. That's a jump from the 4,785 cases reported in 2023 and 2,525 in 2022. For a matter of perspective, only 144 cases were reported in 2009. Out of the 4,785 cases in 2023, 1,865 were reported in Ontario, according to Public Health Ontario data. In Canada, Lyme disease is caused by a bacterium called Borrelia burgdorferi, which is spread through the bite of infected blacklegged ticks — also known as deer ticks — and western blacklegged ticks, according to the PHAC. The blacklegged tick, or deer tick as it is sometimes called, is the most common carrier of Lyme disease. Despite the established risk areas for ticks, Public Health Ontario said it's important for people to know they could encounter an infected blacklegged tick almost anywhere in Ontario , as blacklegged ticks feed on and are transported by migratory birds. Species of ticks can be found in most parts of Ontario — clustering along the north shores of Lake Erie, Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River, according to PHO. This map depicts the estimated risk areas for Lyme disease in Ontario in 2024. Risk areas for Lyme disease in southern Ontario can be found along the north shores of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario and on the south shore of Lake Huron, according to PHAC . In southeastern Ontario, risk areas can be found around Kingston in the St. Lawrence valley, extending northeast toward Ottawa. PHO data shows Lyme disease was reported in all but one health unit region in 2023. The highest concentration of reported cases in Ontario in 2013 was in the Ontario health unit catchment areas of Hastings Prince Edward Public Health and Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox & Addington Public Health. In 2023, 84 people in Ontario were hospitalized for Lyme disease. PHO shows Lyme rates have been climbing for the last 10 years. Climate change is contributing to the spread of blacklegged ticks to new areas in Canada. Southern, western and southeastern Ontario, parts of Manitoba, southern Quebec and the Maritime provinces are known to be risk areas for ticks and Lyme disease exposure. Map of five areas known for risk to tick exposure in Canada. Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses can cause serious medical issues. Here are some proactive measures to take to avoid getting bitten by a tick. For more information on ticks , visit the Public Health Agency of Canada's website. Error!

Stop obsessing over protein goals — the latest health craze — and just enjoy your food
The cookbook section of any used bookstore is a museum of past health trends. Browse through the stock and you'll trace the rise and fall of nutritional villains: eggs, butter, red meat and more — first demonized, then rehabilitated by the next wave of experts. We've all seen America's food rules shift beneath our feet, as nutritional gospel one year becomes heresy the next. In 2025, we're in the era of protein. More specifically, we're in the era of more protein. Advertisement Inspired by bodybuilders, weight-lifters and hardcore health gurus, packing on the protein has gone mainstream. But while these athletes need the nutrient to build muscle and maintain their exercise routines, the average carpooling mom has no such requirement. Yet grocery-store shelves shout their macronutrient stats like badges of honor: '18 grams per serving!' 'Protein-rich!' Advertisement Social-media influencers cheerfully explain how to sneak ever more protein into cookies, pancakes and even ice cream; cottage cheese is the new star of the show, blended into everything from pasta sauce to dessert bars. Ads hawk 'gourmet protein powders' to be dumped into your morning latte. Many women's Instagram feeds have become a stream of 'high-protein lunchbox' reels and 'six ways to eat 100g of protein' posts. Advertisement I recently watched as one food blogger, a former champion of plant-based eating, crammed half a rotisserie chicken into her mouth on camera. Her caption: 'Gotta hit those protein goals!' Curious about my own goals, I calculated how much protein I'd need to eat in a day to meet the online experts' frequently cited benchmarks. The result was nauseating: seven eggs for breakfast, a whole chicken breast for lunch, meat again for dinner, plus multiple high-protein snacks — Greek yogurt, nuts, cottage cheese, protein bars — to stay on target. This isn't just a quirky health trend. It's disordered eating with a veneer of wellness. Advertisement That's not to say protein is bad for you; quite the opposite. It's a vital macronutrient, essential for muscle repair, hormone production and immune function; it also provides a sense of fullness after meals, helping to maintain a healthy weight. For growing kids, pregnant women, aging adults and those recovering from illness or intense exercise, protein is especially crucial. The problem isn't the nutrient itself, but the obsessive, all-consuming fixation on it. Consider this: For a healthy, active 175-pound man, the National Institutes of Health recommends about 63 grams of protein per day. But the popular MyFitnessPal website advises that same man to aim for 164 grams, well more than double the federal guideline. 'The average man in the United States is overshooting the federal protein recommendation by more than 55%,' says Alice Callahan, a New York Times health reporter who holds a nutrition PhD, 'and the average woman by more than 35%.' What happens to all that extra protein? The body can't store it. Instead, the liver converts the surplus into energy — and if that isn't used, packs it on as fat. Advertisement So if we're already getting enough, why the obsession? Maybe it has something to do with who's leading the conversation. A 2017 study published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics found that 49.5% of registered dietitians were at risk for orthorexia nervosa, a condition marked by an unhealthy fixation on eating 'correctly.' Another 13% were at risk for traditional eating disorders like anorexia, and 8% had previously received treatment for them. Advertisement In other words, the very people we look to for food guidance may be struggling with disordered eating habits themselves. Women are more prone to eating disorders than men by orders of magnitude — and the current protein craze is largely female-led. Compared to other nutrition fads, the high-protein trend might seem harmless; after all, it's not demanding the total elimination of food groups, or promoting outright starvation. Advertisement However, it's steeped in the same obsessive mindset. When every bite must be justified by its protein content, when food becomes math instead of nourishment, something has gone wrong. A healthy approach to protein centers on real, unprocessed foods like eggs, fish, beans, nuts, meat and dairy — not processed powders with ingredients you can't pronounce, or bars that taste like compressed chalk. You don't need to count every gram or hit some arbitrary benchmark. Just eat a variety of whole foods, and you'll get what you need. Food fuels our bodies, but it's also meant to be enjoyed. We shouldn't have to choke down dry chicken or gag on cottage-cheese brownies in the name of health. Advertisement Because if wellness doesn't include balance, sanity and flexibility, it isn't wellness at all.

I'm a doctor — 3 toxic items in your bedroom that you should throw out ASAP, follow my 2-year rule
Forget the monster in your closet — the real nightmare in your bedroom is lurking in plain sight. A Harvard-trained doctor is sounding the alarm, warning that everyday items in your sleeping quarters may be teeming with chemicals, critters and other hidden hazards. In a recent Instagram video, Dr. Saurabh Sethi, a California-based gastroenterologist, revealed the three 'toxic bedroom items' you should ditch before they wreck your health. 4 Dr. Saurabh Sethi is warning about the potential dangers of holding onto three common bedroom items. Saurabh Sethi / Instagram Pillow problems First up: old pillows. 'Pillows accumulate dust mites, sweat and allergens over time,' Sethi explained. This can turn them into breeding grounds for bacteria, leading to unpleasant odors and even skin infections. Moisture — from spills, saliva, sweat, humidity or wet hair — can also cause mold and mildew to grow, which not only stinks but poses serious health risks, especially for those with respiratory issues. But it's not just the gross stuff to worry about. Pillow filling breaks down over time, making older pillows flat, lumpy and uncomfortable. That can trigger neck pain, headaches and restless nights. 'If yours is over one to two years old, it is probably time to replace it,' Sethi advised. Chances are, many of us are overdue. In one survey, nearly two-thirds of more than 100 respondents admitted to using pillows older than two years. 4 Synthetic pillows and memory foam pillows typically last 1-2 years. Satjawat – No spritz here You should probably toss that synthetic air freshener, too. Nearly three-quarters of Americans use them weekly, but despite their popularity, research suggests many odor eliminators may actually pollute your indoor air — and pose serious health risks. 'In one of the studies, 86% of air fresheners tested contained phthalates, which are chemicals associated with reproductive harm and asthma,' Sethi warned. Many also release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like formaldehyde, benzene and toluene, which can irritate your respiratory system and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath. 4 While intended to improve the smell of a room, some air fresheners can release chemicals that may negetively impact air quality. Marevgenna – For some people, the strong scents can spark headaches or migraines. Others may break out in rashes or experience itching and redness from allergic skin reactions. In the long term, some studies suggest prolonged exposure to synthetic fragrances could increase the risk of chronic illness and even cancer. Check your bed Sethi also wants you to take a hard look at your mattress. 'A mattress that is more than 7 to 10 years old can lower sleep quality and cause chronic back pain,' he said. 4 Back pain is one of the top complaints Americans bring to their doctors. Satjawat – Just like pillows, old mattresses collect dead skin cells, dust, moisture, mites and other allergens over time — polluting your bedroom air and potentially triggering health issues. They also lose their shape and support, often sagging or forming lumps that leave you stiff, sore, and anything but well-rested. Even the coils inside can become squeaky and creaky over time. While this might seem like a minor inconvenience at first, it can quickly become a sleep saboteur. More Americans are likely dealing with these issues than you might think. In one study, researchers found that the average mattress in the US isn't replaced until it's 13.9 years old — nearly four years past the recommended lifespan. In another survey, 18% of respondents said they were sleeping on a mattress that was ten years old or older. That kind of wear and tear may be taking a serious toll. Nationwide, about a third of Americans — roughly 84 million people — aren't getting the recommended seven hours of sleep per night for optimal health and wellness. At the same time, nearly 16 million adults — around 8% of the US population — suffer from chronic back pain that interferes with daily life.
