Daria Machold is a certified health coach specializing in ancestral lifestyles, with a particular passion for mitochondrial health.

She took up interest in health after her physical transformation in 2017, when she noticed the beneficial role that improved circadian rhythms played in her fat loss journey. That realization set her on the path of meticulously studying circadian biology ever since, and applying that knowledge in her coaching practice.

Daria has served alongside Tara in Higher Coaching since 2020.

In this episode, Daria explains where sun-phobic narratives are wrong, the difference between artificial and natural light, and how photosynthesis happens in humans.
