Did you know you are literally radiant? A landmark 2009 Japanese study revealed that the human body emits visible light—a natural form of bioluminescence that is 1,000 times too faint for our naked eyes to detect. In this episode, we unpack the fascinating science behind our hidden glow, how it rises and falls with our daily circadian rhythm, and what this ultra-weak photon emission tells us about our metabolic health. Tune in to find out why your face glows brightest in the late afternoon and what else science is discovering about the invisible energies of the human body.Link to the study;https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0006256
