Episode 189- Light Biology Relating to Cortisol, Blood Sugar, Gut Health, and Weight with Dr. Alexis Cowan

Dr. Alexis Cowan completed her Ph.D. in molecular biology from Princeton University and uses her continuing education to share principles relating to light, mitochondrial, and circadian biology. Our conversation was unique in which Dr. Cowan offered a deep dive into the specifics of the scientific research that supports the knowledge she shared. We discussed Dr. Cowan's outstanding health journey, different kinds of sunlight and its effects on the body, and how light patterns affect hormone health.

WHAT WE DISCUSSED:

[8:25]- How health complications throughout her childhood led Dr. Cowan to pursue a significant weight loss journey and understand the root cause of her symptoms.

[18:50]- What are the benefits of the different variations of light waves? What profound effect does each wavelength have on the body's wellbeing?

[31:29]- What body parts are best exposed to sunshine for maximal sunlight absorption?

[42:43]- Breaking through the myths of wearing sunscreen and sunglasses to block sunlight.

[56:38]- How does cortisol dysregulation occur? How do light and darkness contribute to cortisol and melatonin production?

[1:02:58]- How can eating high protein early in the morning impact blood sugar and cortisol release?
