In this episode, Dr. James Odell will highlight the vital role that natural light plays in our health and well-being. He'll explore the key components of sunlight - visible light, ultraviolet, and infrared radiation - and unpack the numerous benefits they provide, from regulating our circadian rhythms and vitamin D production to improving cardiovascular health and boosting mood.

Dr. Odell will also contrast the advantages of natural light with the drawbacks of artificial light, particularly the blue-light-heavy LEDs and fluorescent bulbs that have become ubiquitous in modern indoor environments. He'll discuss how this artificial light can disrupt our sleep-wake cycles, cause eye strain, and deprive us of the full-spectrum benefits we get from the sun.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the science-backed benefits of natural light, and the bioregulatory medicine perspective, which emphasizes the body's innate wisdom and our deep connection with the natural world - including the sun itself.
