Why we created Lightbody Supplements

Lightbody®.

Our passion for holistic wellness led us to create Lightbody® supplements.

Our Story

Lightbody was founded by Kylen Ribeiro (CEO) and Michelle Zofrea (COO), two six-feet-tall girl boss executives at the digital wellness company DefenderShield.

 

It was there that Kylen and Michelle became experts on all the ways our phones, laptops and other technology can affect our bodies, and just how universal these effects may become as technology becomes increasingly intertwined in our lives. Their passion for holistic wellness and health around digital devices led them to seek out a solution for supporting the body’s resiliency in our modern digital world.

After working for years in the health and wellness industry alongside internationally recognized scientists, doctors and supplement formulators, the Lightbody Eye Health + Blue Light Filter supplement was created to help target the impacts technology has on our vision, as a step towards better digital wellness.

Our Vision... is to Help YOUR Vision.

People today look at digital LED screens for up to 90% of their total waking hours. Whether it’s for entertainment, work, school, or communication, this high energy, bright blue light can have many effects on our visual health. It can damage our lens and our retinas, causing issues as we age. In addition, we actually blink less while staring at a screen, which prevents the eyes from maintaining proper moisture. Staring at one object like a screen without breaks can weaken the muscles in the eye as well.

 

The Lightbody Total Eye Health+ Supplement is formulated for all ages, and works to maintain healthy ocular structure and function, giving the eye the nutrients needed to filter blue light and provide optimal hydration, while working to ensure visual performance and health as we age.

 

Our formula helps to maintain healthy ocular structure and function in a world where exposure to screens and technology is so common.

Digital Wellness is the New Wellness

We are using technology all day long, and research has already shown that this is impacting our health in many ways. 

 

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is on the rise, with earlier onset, faster progression, and greater severity. An analysis of 45 studies recently found that this increased risk of nearsightedness, which can lead to sight-threatening conditions including macular degeneration, retinal detachment, and glaucoma, was positively associated with increases in daily digital screen time.

 

Good digital wellness means having a good relationship with your technology, being mindful of its impacts on your body and health, and moderating your consumption as part of your overall holistic wellness.

 

And while there are many potential impacts of technology on your body (check out our sister company DefenderShield to learn more), Lightbody focuses on the impacts on your eyes.

 

Visual care should be a very important part of everyone's wellness regimen, at every age. Our eyesight is a precious gift, but many people slowly lose that gift as they get older. 

 

If you are looking at this screen right now, you are exactly who we made Lightbody for. 

 

Take control of your vision today, so you can look at the beauty of our world, on or off the screen, for as long as you are living in it.
