Episode Description from the Publisher

What if your fatigue, poor sleep, hormone imbalance, and stubborn weight gain all traced back to one hidden health disruptor: artificial light?     In this eye-opening episode of the Lisa Fischer Said Podcast, Lisa Fischer sits down with Shannon Kates to unpack the shocking connection between circadian rhythm, sunlight, blue light exposure, hormones, metabolism, sleep, and mitochondrial health. Shannon explains why modern indoor living may be damaging our energy, disrupting cortisol and melatonin, and increasing inflammation — and how simple daily light routines can radically improve health.     You'll learn why morning sunlight matters, how artificial lighting impacts your skin and thyroid, the truth about sunscreen and vitamin D, why timing your meals affects sleep and fat burning, and how grounding and natural light may be the missing pieces in your wellness journey.     Subscribe to the Lisa Fischer Said Podcast, join the newsletter at https://lisafischersaid.com/podcast/ and follow @lisafischersaid on social media for more conversations that challenge conventional wellness thinking.     👉 Subscribe to the Lisa Fischer Said Podcast, join the newsletter at https://lisafischersaid.com/podcast/, and follow @lisafischersaid for more.     Here's where to find Shannon:   Website:  https://squintessentials.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/squintessentials/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/squintessentials/ YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@Squintessential     Here are more ways you can connect with Lisa:   Website:  https://lisafischersaid.com/ Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/lisafischersaid/ Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/lisafischersaid/ Health Coaching:  https://lisafischersaid.com/healthcoaching/ Lisa Fischer Said Academy:  https://lisafischersaid.com/academy/     Support our wonderful sponsors:   Ralston Family Farms:  https://www.ralstonfamilyfarms.com/ Akel's Carpet One:  https://www.akelscarpetone.com/ David's Beef:  https://davidsbeef.com/ Marlsgate:  https://marlsgate.com     The Lisa Fischer Said Podcast is produced by https://clantoncreative.com/
