ADVICE

Morning Light, Blue Blockers, And Blood Sugar

  • Use circadian-friendly lighting and wear yellow/orange blue blockers before sunrise to avoid artificial blue light spikes.
  • Hydrate, stabilize blood sugar, and get outside for any available natural light to steer cortisol and hormone pathways correctly.
ADVICE

Microdose Cold To Adapt Slowly

  • Microdose cold exposure as temperatures shift by opening windows or spending brief periods outside to adapt gradually.
  • Start simple cold practices like dunking your face or wrists instead of long intense plunges to avoid excess stress.
