In this episode, Dr. Steve sits down with circadian health experts Thaddeus Owen and Heidi Sime, co‑founders of DreamWalkers, to explore how "light as medicine" impacts sleep, hormones, mood, weight, and long‑term metabolic health. They unpack why our modern indoor, screen‑dominated lifestyle creates a constant circadian mismatch—and how simple changes in morning sunlight, indoor lighting, blue light exposure, and EMFs can radically improve energy, cravings, and resilience without adding another medication.1
You'll hear real‑world stories of resolving crippling insomnia and anxiety by changing light exposure, practical guidance on blue‑blocking glasses and healthier bulbs, and surprising insights into how night‑time light and phone use affect babies, breastfeeding, and kids' sleep. The conversation closes with actionable strategies you can start today to build a more "circadian‑friendly" home that supports better metabolic and mental health for the whole family.
