#32 How Artificial Light is Rewiring Your Biology w/ Roudy Nassif

This week’s episode was recorded live at the Return to Nature Retreat, where quantum biology met real-world transformation.

In this riveting talk, Roudy Nassif — engineer turned light expert and founder of VivaRays — shares the deeply personal story of how escaping the artificial world and reconnecting with natural light saved his life.

From suicidal burnout and chronic fatigue to radiant health and purpose, Roudy reveals how the light that enters our eyes controls every hormone, emotion, and biological rhythm — and how modern artificial lighting is silently disrupting it all.

He dives into the groundbreaking science of light frequencies, melatonin, and mitochondrial repair, and offers a roadmap to restore vitality by syncing your body with nature’s rhythm.

This is more than a talk about blue blockers or circadian health — it’s a call to wake up to the light that built life itself.
