This is Part 2 of our conversation with Dr Roger Seheult. We highly recommend listening to Part 1 as a precursor to this episode to get the most out of terms and topics covered!
In this episode, we discuss:
-emerging research around red light and infra-red light
-the impact of sunlight on Covid-19 surges
-long covid
-tools that may not only support in recovery from long covid, but could possibly speed up the rate at which you recover from other illnesses in the future too
Recap of Part 1:
-the light spectrum of UV to infra-red
-the importance of light exposure to regulate our circadian rhythm and reduce oxidative stress
-impacts of light on hypersomnia, sleep inertia, hunger and satiety cues
-the best times of day to eat, and differences in our insulin sensitivity
