• Intro (0:00)

• Stacy was at a Beautycounter conference this past weekend.
  

• While the conference itself was great, the part that was amazing was meeting some incredible women in person that she's been working with for over a year.

• Stacy has been feeling very connected and effected by lunar cycles, which is a weird thing for her to say out loud. After some research, she found information supporting a link to mood and hormones. Lunar cycles are known to affect bodies of water (ie: the tides) and humans are made up of mostly water- so Stacy wants to know, what does the science say related to how the moon affects humans?
  

• There has been a lot of interest in the circalunar cycle, especially in the last 5-10 years.

• It syncs our brain with the "clock" that is in every one of our cells.

• These cycles are much stronger in marine animals.

• Spawning, gonad growth, reproductive cycles, etc.

• It is analogous to our circadian rhythms- outside stimulus that influences internal factors.

• The old saying, "must be a full moon."

• These two things have not been found to be correlated in the science.
