About this listen

Sunlight isn’t just about vitamin D — it’s information for your brain.

In this episode, we explore how light acts as a powerful signal to the hypothalamus — the master control center for your hormones, sleep, mood, metabolism, and more.

You’ll learn:

  • ☀️ How sunlight sets your internal clock through the brain’s SCN
  • 🧠 Why your hypothalamus depends on morning light to function properly
  • 🌙 How artificial light at night confuses your biology
  • 🔄 Simple, no/low-cost strategies to reset your circadian rhythm and reclaim your energy, sleep, and hormonal health

We also share real patient stories and practical tips to help you create a light environment that supports healing — not stress.

If you’ve been feeling out of rhythm, this episode can help you sync your brain with the sun — and shift your health from surviving to thriving.
