Why Your Hormones & Gut Health Depend On Your Circadian Rhythm
Summary
- Light is a crucial regulator of hormones, mood, and overall health. Exposure to natural light—especially in the morning—helps set your body’s clock, balance cortisol, and improve sleep quality, which in turn affects anxiety and depression
- Blue light isn’t the enemy—it’s about timing. While midday blue light from the sun is essential for energy and hormone production, excessive artificial blue light at night disrupts melatonin and sleep, leading to mood imbalances and fatigue
- Circadian rhythm controls everything from digestion to mental health. Simple habits like morning sun exposure, reducing blue light at night, and maintaining a consistent sleep schedule can significantly impact energy, focus, and emotional well-being
