EP#64 Metabolic Wellbeing without the BS
🌞 "We are light beings." – Rachel Jessey
On her return to the Metabolic Wellbeing – Without the BS podcast, Rachel Jessey gifted us with a powerful truth: light is not optional—it's foundational.
In a world bathed in artificial light from birth, we’ve strayed far from the natural rhythms that fuel our metabolism, hormones, and healing.
🧬 From early morning light to the power of sunset, Rachel breaks down how:
- Light affects postpartum recovery
- Vitamin D and sunlight are inseparable from wellbeing
- Blue light impacts cortisol, leptin, insulin, and blood sugar
- Screens may demand age limits—not just for eyes, but for long-term health
- Shift work, student stress, and desk lunches under fluorescent glare are more damaging than we think
- Even our sleep trackers can't replace what our body is already telling us
✨ We’re facing an epidemic of light deficiency, and it’s time to reset.
Nature’s cycles aren’t just aesthetic—they’re biological cues that guide your body toward healing, energy, and balance.
🎧 Tune in for practical tips on:
✅ Blue light blockers
✅ Outdoor wellbeing breaks
✅ Meal timing with light exposure
✅ Reclaiming your circadian rhythm
🔦 If you have time for social media, you have time for real light.
And if you’re ready to really nourish your metabolic wellbeing—join our workshops.
📥 Let us help you reconnect with light, nature, and the rhythms that heal.
