Today, I am blessed to have Roudy Nassif here with me. Roudy is fully dedicated to researching and developing innovations to help humanity achieve greater well-being on the planet. Roudy happily fills his role in VivaRays as the research and development manager, capturing the great intelligence of nature and manifesting it in our lives. In this episode, Roudy dives into the impact of light on human biology, stressing its role in regulating our endocrine system, circadian rhythm, and nervous system. He warns against the effects of artificial light exposure on hormonal balance and health. Embracing natural morning light is encouraged for its ability to trigger hormone production and influence circadian rhythms. Roudy highlights the benefits of grounding to mitigate inflammation. Tune in for insights into the importance of creating an environment to support overall well-being, including the quality of light entering our eyes and its effects on metabolic processes. / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  *BonCharge: Blue light Blocking Glasses, Red Light Therapy, Sauna Blankets & More.

It programs our endocrine system, circadian rhythm, and nervous system. Excessive exposure to artificial light, particularly at night, has detrimental effects on hormonal balance and overall health. Chronic disruption of our natural circadian due to inadequate exposure to sunlight and excessive exposure to artificial light can lead to health issues, including disrupted sleep, increased inflammation, and metabolic imbalances. [11:30] Embracing Morning Light Step outside and experience natural morning light upon waking instead of turning to artificial sources. Morning light signals the start of the day to our internal clock. Natural light triggers the production of hormones that contribute to feelings of energy. Morning light can influence our circadian rhythms and set a beneficial tone for the day ahead.  [22:30] Grounding for Wellness There are benefits of stepping outside and removing one's shoes to connect with the Earth's magnetic field.  This connection allows the body to discharge excess electrical charge accumulated from exposure to artificial sources of electricity. Grounding yourself on the Earth can mitigate inflammation. It’s important to experience morning sunlight and pay attention to the specific frequencies of light, such as UVA, that contribute to hormonal balance. [34:50] The Healing Power of Sunlight We discuss studies demonstrating the health benefits of sunlight exposure, particularly its effects on nitric oxide production, heart efficiency, weight loss, and hormone levels.  Sunlight stimulates the thyroid gland, increases metabolism and fat burning, and enhances sex hormone production. It facilitates the production of structured water inside and around cells, which promotes blood flow and nutrient delivery. [40:40] Health Risks Associated with Skin Tone Roudy highlights the differences in susceptibility to chronic diseases, weight gain, and metabolic problems among individuals with varying skin tones.  People with darker skin, particularly those of African origins accustomed to high UV environments, may face increased health risks when moving to regions w
