Light Therapy for Your Brain, Beauty, Hormones and More

Let’s talk about something you can’t buy in a bottle — but it’s as essential as food.
That nutrient is light.

We’ve spent decades counting carbs and macros, but very few people count the hours of sunlight on their skin or the quality of light around them. Yet light directs every cell clock in your body — from your brain to your liver, from your thyroid to your fat cells.

When your light rhythms are off, hormones misfire, metabolism slows, and sleep suffers.
But when you live in sync with natural light, energy can flow again.

So let’s explore how sunshine, sleep, and even red-light therapy can reset your circadian rhythm — the 24-hour internal clock that governs everything from hunger to healing.

Weight Loss Saboteurs

Let me start with a story I hear almost every week.
A woman tells me, “I’m eating clean. I’m exercising. I’m doing everything right — but I’m still tired, inflamed, and stuck.”
She’s counting calories, skipping desserts, yet the scale won’t move and her clothes fit the same.

The truth? It’s not a lack of discipline — it’s hidden inflammation.
Your body isn’t ignoring your effort; it’s trying to protect you.

Today, we’re going to talk about the silent saboteurs — the inflammatory triggers that block weight loss, drain your energy, and accelerate aging — and how to calm the fire naturally through a functional nutrition lens.
