Is your light exposure quietly disrupting your health?
In this continuation of our conversation with Dr. Kelsey Dexter, MD, we dive even deeper into what happens when circadian rhythms are disrupted. If you’ve ever wondered how your Netflix habit, phone screen, or office lighting might be messing with your body’s natural signals, this episode is for you.
Dr. Dexter, a brilliant endocrinologist with a passion for holistic medicine, breaks down the science behind circadian rhythm and hormones, how our modern light exposure is affecting fertility and energy, and why so many women are being overtreated for thyroid issues when their root cause is often something entirely different.
If you're curious about how to fix circadian rhythm naturally, especially as it relates to hormone balance and natural thyroid treatment for hypothyroidism, you're going to walk away from this episode with practical tools and empowered clarity.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why light exposure may be silently impacting your cortisol, melatonin, and leptin levels—and how that connects to everything from fertility to fatigue
- The real cost of blue light exposure: what you’re not hearing about screen time and its effects on your hormones, metabolism, and mood
- Why what happens when circadian rhythms are disrupted goes far beyond sleep issues—and how this hidden stressor is linked to thyroid symptoms and misdiagnoses
- How circadian rhythm and hormones are intricately connected—and why syncing with natural light may be more powerful than your supplement stack
- What to know about natural thyroid treatment for hypothyroidism—and how leptin resistance and stress could be masquerading as thyroid dysfunction
Tune in now to discover how to fix circadian rhythm gently and naturally—and begin supporting your body in the way it was always designed to thrive.
