** Bright Idea: Solius Aims to Bring Light Therapy to the Masses
------------------------------------------------------------

Health Transformer Rick Hennessey, the CEO of Solius, (https://startuphealth.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7b5e9c627761550fb3157fdb9&id=80c7656ede&e=ec25e68ef1) gathered the world's top experts in light science, biology, and medicine and set out to find a solution for the one billion people worldwide that have inadequate levels of vitamin D. Low vitamin D is related to over one hundred diseases and, not to mention, is a critical nutrient that we need to survive.

Their solution is a walk-in light therapy machine that can live in wellness center, a pharmacy, or just about anywhere. And that’s part of Hennessey’s vision – a Solius on every corner, available to everyone at a disruptively low price.
