Innovation In Wellness Often Starts With A Personal Challenge
By Evan J. Cholfin
For John Graham Harper, CEO of Lumaflex, the spark came from years of athletic wear and tear that left him searching for real solutions. What he found wasn’t just relief—it was a new path forward, one that would shape his career and redefine how people think about recovery.
On this episode of A Healthier, Happier You, I sit down with John to explore how his journey from athlete to innovator led to Lumaflex, a company pushing the boundaries of what red light therapy can mean for everyday health.
Why Red Light Therapy, Why Now?
Red light therapy—once confined to niche circles—is starting to break into the mainstream. Backed by growing clinical research and adopted by leading trainers and wellness experts, it’s a technology with the potential to impact millions. Yet, awareness remains limited. John sees this as both the challenge and the opportunity: education.
Through initiatives like the Lumaflex Academy, he’s focused on helping people not just buy devices, but actually understand how and why they work. Because in his words, “consistency is key”—and consistency only happens when people feel confident and informed.
A Vision Beyond Gadgets
What makes this conversation so compelling isn’t just the tech—it’s John’s vision. He doesn’t want Lumaflex to be another wellness brand gathering dust on the shelf. He imagines a future where red light therapy becomes as natural as stretching after a run or even as routine as taking a shower.
From award-winning devices designed for portability and ease of use to ambitious product roadmaps that mimic the healing spectrum of natural sunlight, Lumaflex is betting big on innovation grounded in everyday life.
