The Wellness Witch Podcast

Being light-conscious is one of the simplest, cheapest, yet most overlooked approaches to health and hormonal healing. In today’s episode, engineer and light expert Roudy Nassif, talks about how light affects our overall health, including its impact on our mitochondria, blood glucose, adrenal health, and sleep. He also explains why most bluelight-blocking glasses on the market are actually not that effective and how this inspired him to create his own bluelight-blocking glasses company, Viva Rays. Roudy offers up some simple, effective ways in which we can realign ourselves with the natural cycles that have forever driven our evolution and create lasting harmony with the environment that we live in.

In this episode of The Wellness Witch Podcast:

• Why light is so important in establishing a circadian rhythm
• How to get proper light exposure in harsh seasons/climates
• The importance of eating seasonal foods
• Tips for making your home a healthy light environment
• Roudy’s thoughts on magnetism and the benefits of being barefoot
