I talk about light from two different perspectives.  We want more natural light early in the day, but we don’t want excess exposure to blue light too close to bedtime. Blue light can come from the sun, but it can also come from electronic devices like computer screens, phones, and tablets. If we are using electronic devices at night, it increases our exposure to blue light. If we get too much blue light at night, it interferes with melatonin production. Melatonin production is important because it helps us want to sleep at night. So how do we balance the two?  I'll talk about that in this episode.

This episode is for my friends that are either full throttle or zero. You know, it’s workout one hour three days a week or don’t work out at all.  However, what if you adjust your hour workout to 30 minutes just to make sure you exercise more consistently?  Even 15 minutes is better than no minutes.  Remember, getting the results you want is all about consistency and my goal with this podcast is to challenge you a bit to think outside the box when it comes to your healthy lifestyle practice.
