Dr. Thomas P. Seager is an Associate Professor at Arizona State University, engineer, entrepreneur, and founder of Morozko Forge—the world’s first ice bath designed for deliberate cold exposure. His work spans engineering, resilience, hormesis, and human optimization. Through both science and personal exploration, Dr. Seager teaches how stress—when used intentionally—can transform the body, regulate the mind, and deepen emotional healing.

His unique approach merges Stoic philosophy, trauma-informed healing, and the neuroscience of environmental stressors. He’s a pioneer in showing how ice baths, fasting, heat exposure, and movement can recalibrate both the nervous system and the soul.

TODAY’S  EPISODE

Can you really heal hypoglycemia while focusing on weight loss?

In today’s solo episode, Danielle Hamilton gets real about a common trap many women fall into: trying to lose weight while their blood sugar is crashing. With deep compassion and personal insight, she explains why focusing on traditional weight loss tactics—like fasting, under-eating, or over-exercising—can actually make hypoglycemia worse, not better.

Instead, Danielle outlines a powerful 3-pillar approach to healing:

1️⃣ Food and Movement

2️⃣ Light and Circadian Rhythm

3️⃣ Nervous System and Emotional Regulation

You’ll also hear about the updated Blood Sugar Mastery Fall 2025 Cohort, and how the program now includes even deeper work around mindset, trauma patterns, nervous system healing, and emotional resilience—along with the practical protocols Danielle is known for.

This episode is part science, part soul work, and fully packed with actionable insights to help you stabilize your blood sugar and finally feel like yourself again.

ON TODAY’S EPISODE

• Why trying to lose weight with hypoglycemia can backfire
• What symptoms suggest you have “metabolic hypoglycemia” (even if your blood sugar looks normal)
• The signs that your body is stuck in a survival state
• Why perfectionism and people-pleasing may be sabotaging your healing
• How to send your adrenals “on vacation” and stop relying on stress hormones
• Why blood sugar crashes aren’t fixed with more discipline—but with more safety
• Simple shifts that make the body feel safe enough to heal
• What nervous system states like fight, flight, freeze, or fawn have to do with metabolic health
• What to eat between meals and why Danielle doesn’t believe in “snacks”
• What to do instead of exercise when movement causes blood sugar crashes
• Why emotional suppression can be the root of fatigue and hormonal imbalance
• How to start healing stored trauma without getting overwhelmed
• What’s new inside the Fall 2025 Blood Sugar Mastery program

EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Light Up Your Metabolism, Danielle Hamilton breaks down what happens when UVB sunlight disappears in winter and why losing strong sun exposure doesn’t mean losing all your metabolic health benefits. She shares her personal journey from being a lifelong “winter hater” to embracing cold and darkness for their unique healing effects. Danielle explains how cold exposure, seasonal darkness, and brown fat activation can mimic many of the same benefits as summer sunlight, from improving insulin sensitivity to lowering inflammation. Listeners will learn how to work with the seasons, not against them, and why leaning into winter can become a powerful tool for metabolic repair.

TOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE

• How the loss of UVB light above 33° latitude affects vitamin D levels and metabolic function
• Why people with darker skin living in higher latitudes may need year-round UVB support
• The role of darkness in triggering pineal and mitochondrial melatonin for cellular repair and hormone balance
• How cold exposure boosts adiponectin, improves glucose uptake without insulin, and increases mitochondrial biogenesis
• The science of brown adipose tissue (brown fat) and its impact on thyroid health, fat burning, and blood sugar regulation
• Why seasonal shifts in temperature and light help balance leptin, thyroid function, and gut health
• How winter “catabolic” repair processes complement summer “anabolic” building phases
• Danielle’s personal experiments with “cold girl walks” and why gradual exposure works better than extreme plunges for beginners
• Tips for working with your climate to mimic winter benefits even in warmer locations
• How embracing seasonal rhythms can prevent winter weight gain and support long-term metabolic resilience
• Introduction to SunSense UV Bead Bracelets and Lizards as tools to track UV exposure and optimize safe sun practices year-round

EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Light Up Your Metabolism, Danielle Hamilton explores how sunlight is one of the most powerful and underutilized tools for improving metabolic health, balancing blood sugar, supporting hormone function, and healing from conditions like PCOS. Sharing her personal story of reintroducing carbohydrates without negative symptoms, Danielle explains how different types of light (infrared, UVA, UVB, and visible light) impact mitochondrial function, circadian rhythm, hormone signaling, and overall energy production. This episode reframes sunlight as an essential part of metabolic healing, not something to be feared or avoided.

TOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE

• Why early morning infrared light is essential for supporting mitochondrial function, blood sugar regulation, and melatonin production
• How UVA light plays a critical role in regulating leptin sensitivity, appetite, thyroid function, and mood
• Why relying on short midday sun exposure or only catching sunrise light is not enough to support metabolic health
• The distinct role of UVB light in vitamin D synthesis and why supplements cannot replicate its full benefits
• How light therapy and consistent sun exposure improved Danielle's eyesight, dry eyes, and night vision post-LASIK
• The science of structured water, redox signaling, and melanin as biological energy sources influenced by light
• How sunscreen use may interfere with vitamin D production and how to build solar resilience safely based on skin type
• How to tailor light exposure by skin tone and geographic location, using the Fitzpatrick scale and the MyCircadian app
• Danielle’s personal experience of resolving chronic constipation and improving fasting blood sugar through strategic light exposure
• Introduction to SunSense UV Bead Bracelets as a practical tool to monitor real-time UV exposure and support safe sun practices

SUMMARY:

In this eye-opening episode, Danielle sits down with Dr. E, a nurse practitioner with both conventional and functional medicine training, to unpack the widespread issue of medical gaslighting and how both patients and providers are unknowingly participating in it. They explore how conventional medicine is excellent for diagnosing disease but fails to support the vast and growing number of people stuck in the "I don’t feel good, but my labs are normal" limbo. Dr. E offers a powerful reframe: learn what your doctor can do, stop expecting more than their toolbox allows, and reclaim your power as the expert on your own body.

What You’ll Learn

• Why medical gaslighting isn’t always malicious and how it stems from provider indoctrination, not intention.
• The Flexner Report’s role in shaping today's pharmaceutical-dominated medical system.
• How conventional medicine excels in treating disease but fails in the pre-disease and symptom based “I don’t feel good” phase.
• The critical distinction between “ruling out illness” vs. “creating wellness.”
• Why normal labs don’t mean you're fine, and how to navigate this when you feel dismissed.
• How to build your own healthcare team using a “wedding planner” approach: PCPs, specialists, functional providers, acupuncturists, and more.
• A breakdown of why functional ranges matter and what to do when conventional ranges say you’re “fine.”
• Why symptom tracking matters more than labs in the early stages of dysfunction.
• How to advocate for yourself without confrontation and how fawning to authority keeps us disempowered.
• How shared decision making can restore balance and dignity to the doctor-patient relationship.
