5 Key Takeaways

1. Get morning sunlight exposure consistently, ideally within an hour of waking. This helps regulate your circadian rhythm and metabolism.

2. Aim for 20 minutes of outdoor light during the UVA window after sunrise to support appetite regulation and fat burning.

3. Use a wide-brimmed hat and protective eyewear when exposed to intense glare from water, snow, or sand to prevent retinal damage.

4. Download the My Circadian app to track optimal sun exposure times and measure light levels throughout the day.

5. Dim lights and use blue-blocking glasses 3 hours before bed, aiming for under 10 lux in your evening environment to support melatonin production.

Memorable Quotes

“Light really gives the body instructions to do everything we need it to do. We want the right type of light at the right times, and then enough darkness at the right times.”

“If your days are too dim and your nights are too bright, that alone slows down the metabolism. You can go on a very restrictive diet, eat clean, try to do all the things, yet live the way that everyone lives, and still struggle.”

“I’m not interested in having conversations where I tell people exactly what to do. I want to have thoughtful dialogue and connect with people. The worst teachers think the healing was all because of them. The best teachers remind you that the healing was yours all along.”
