Have you ever wondered how the light you’re exposed to throughout the day can impact your overall health and well-being? Unlock the secrets to optimizing your circadian rhythm and mitigating the harmful effects of blue light exposure, especially if you're a shift worker. In this episode of "A Healthy Shift Podcast," we promise you’ll learn actionable steps to harness the power of natural light by embracing the "sky before screen" philosophy. Discover why getting early daylight is essential to kick-start your day and set your biological clock right, even on those cloudy mornings.

We dive deep into the critical role melatonin plays in our sleep and health, emphasizing the importance of shielding ourselves from blue light in the evening. Learn how evening blue light exposure can disrupt your melatonin production and lead to serious health issues, including metabolic disorders and increased disease risks like breast cancer. We'll guide you through practical strategies to reduce your nighttime blue light exposure and incorporate more natural light during your day, helping you combat brain fog, fatigue, and social jet lag. Join us to transform your health with just a few simple adjustments in your daily light exposure.
