INSIGHT

Light Drives Hormone Production

  • Morning natural light triggers mitochondria to produce pregnenolone, the precursor to sex and steroid hormones.
  • Missing proper light disrupts cortisol and reproductive hormones, leading to adrenal fatigue and hormonal imbalances.
INSIGHT

Artificial Light Impacts Hormones

  • Artificial light at night disrupts hormonal rhythms causing insomnia and estrogen imbalance.
  • This disruption links to heightened risks of estrogen-driven cancers like breast cancer.
ADVICE

Fix Lifestyle Before Supplements

  • Prioritize lifestyle factors such as light exposure, stress management, sleep, and nutrition before relying on supplements or HRT.
  • Addressing root causes optimizes hormone balance rather than just treating symptoms with adaptogens or hormones.
