Medical Disruptor™ by Dr. E

Sunlight as Medicine: How Light Heals Hormones, Mood & Metabolism


Listen Later

Let’s talk about sunlight as medicine.


Sunlight isn't just about vitamin D. It's a biological signal that regulates over 200 genes, resets your circadian rhythm, and influences everything from blood sugar to blood pressure.


In this episode, you'll discover why 40% of U.S. adults are vitamin D deficient and how it's connected to rising rates of metabolic disease, sleep disorders, and mood disruption. 


I'll explain how morning light exposure resets cortisol, melatonin, and insulin sensitivity, which is the science behind why you feel better on bright days. We'll dive into the vitamin D hormone system and how just 10-15 minutes of sunlight activates healing pathways your body was designed to use.


Sunlight is free, daily medicine, and you don't need permission from your doctor to start using it.
