Improving your quality of life and longevity can come in many ways.  In 2023 I started utilizing one of these cutting-edge technologies because I was blown away by the science behind it.  In fact, I saw it as an important investment in my health.  I thought of it as wearing my health insurance policy every day.  You will get what I mean soon.  This month I will be doing a whole series on it as I think it is that important to share with you.   

So what am I doing? 

Photodynamic therapy, also known as phototherapy or photobiomodulation, which is a form light therapy.  I believe this therapy will be an important part of our healthcare of the future.  In fact, it is here now and is a topic of the upcoming International Conference on Laser, Photodynamic and Regenerative Medicine conference happening in March, 2026.

What is photobiomodulation?

Photobiomodulation is the low-power non-thermal delivery of photons in the visible or near infrared spectrum (405–1000 nm) that elicits a beneficial biological response in cells and tissue (Liebert et al., 2017).

Exposure of humans to light “… has been shown that signaling pathways are triggered within the cells, transcription factors are activated, and gene expression patterns are altered. Exposure to photobiomodulation results in key physiological changes: increased anti-inflammatory cytokine levels, decreased pro-inflammatory cytokine levels, upregulation of antioxidants and survival factors, increased cell proliferation and reduced levels of apoptosis” (Hamblin, 2016).

What does photobiomodulation do in the body?

  1. Increases production of multiple antioxidants including glutathione.
  2. Increases peptide production and the release of signaling peptides in tissues.
  3. Exhibits anti-inflammatory effects and improved pain control.
  4. Increases cellular production of energy (ATP).
  5. Increases protein synthesis.
  6. Regenerates tissues (Vatansever et al., 2012).

David Schmidt is the inventor and founder of Lifewave, who discovered a way to provide photodynamic therapy in a patch.  What is amazing is David has over 200 patents! 

David’s breakthrough came when he recognized that the waveforms of infrared and visible light produced by organic materials would match biological structures better than the waveforms produced by inorganic materials or electronic devices.

So, he started experimenting with specific types of organic sugars and amino acids. He created solutions composed of stereoisomers of L-amino acids and D-sugars capable of self-assembly into nano-sized crystals that when activated by body heat emits specific wavelengths of infrared and visible light known to act through phototherapy and photobiomodulation to produce physiological effects in both animals and humans.

This technology therefore stimulates the skin with low levels of infrared light that is designed to improve the way your body fosters the flow of natural energy within your body to support whole-body wellness and health activity. 

Though David has several different patches utilizing this technology (which I will be sharing with you throughout this series), the X39 patch gets the most attention and for good reason.  The X39 helps the body to activate its own stem cells utilizing stereoisomers in nanocrystals. Stem cells are the repair cells of the body.

In fact, Lifewave was recently named Stem Cell Innovation of the Year in the 2025 Biotech Breakthrough Awards!  Lifewave has been recognized for its advancements in Regenerative Science. 

To learn more about the concept of light therapy that led to David’s creation of phototherapy, you can watch a video by clicking here now, where he discusses it more.   Or start by watching this short video.  

What is the X39 patch and how does it work?

It uses a proprietary and patented form of phototherapy which elevates the peptide GHK-Cu which stimulates our own stem cells. This is a naturally occurring peptide in your body that declines significantly with age. In fact, after the age of 60 our levels of GHK-Cu have dropped by more than 60%. By the time we are in our mid-70s, we are showing almost no stem cell activity at all. This is why people who are older have such a difficult time healing from injury.

The X39 patch uses the body’s own energy in the form of infrared body heat to power up or activate the materials in the patch. The patch then reflects light on to the skin which stimulates the nerves on the skin. The result is a specific change in the body biochemistry, thereby “activating stem cells”.

As strange as that all seems, independent third-party clinical studies on GHK-Cu have determined some remarkable benefits including, support of the body’s natural wound healing process. Perhaps even more remarkably, GHK-Cu resets the genes in the body to a younger, healthier state. In initial clinical work performed by Dr. Loren Pickart, Dr. Pickart discovered that old liver cells, when exposed to GHK-Cu, started to function like younger, healthier cells!

What are peptides?

Peptides have many functions in the body, but one of the most important is that peptides are communication devices that the body uses to initiate various chemical processes including antioxidant production, inflammation control, and stem cell activation.

Stem cells could help us to stay younger longer, or even reverse the aging process.

Why X39 and not stem cell injections?

Stem cell therapy is very risky with about a 30% chance that the stem cells will actually damage the body.

  • Stem cell therapy today has a low chance of success (about 30%).
  • Stem cell therapy is extremely expensive.
  • The therapy is not practical for an individual to use on a regular basis.

X39 is a natural, safe and more cost effective way to activate your body’s own stem cells.  Furthermore it is backed by over 70 clinical studies. If you would like to review just some of those studies, click here now.

Users of X39 report:

  • Relief of pain and improvement in mobility.
  • Dramatic improvement in the quality and length of sleep.
  • Rapid wound healing.
  • Decrease in the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
  • Decrease in the appearance of scars.
  • Greater energy levels.
  • Helps with detoxification, and support lymph/drainage, liver and intestinal health.
  • Supports mitochondrial function, vagus nerve regulation and more!

Please know that each experience is different.  My own experience with the X39 is that I noticed an improvement in energy, stamina and strength in my lower legs.  There are thousands of positive testimonials out there on how this one patch has helped people with various health challenges. 

Here’s the thing, your stem cells are going to go where they innately need to go and therefore that may mean they are repairing areas you do not feel or know needed repairing.

The X39 patch can be a powerful addition in your toolbox to optimizing your health and longevity. 

This along with many of the other products Lifewave offers can be especially good for those who don’t do well with a lot of supplements, special diets, and complicated protocols.

A very good resource to learn more about X39, how it works and clinical studies can be found at startx39.com

Watch for my next post coming out where I will be sharing more with you on the X39 patch.  This includes how to use it and what to expect in the first year of use.
