#7 KIDS circadian health, melatonin, grounding, blue light

Thank you for tuning in.

American Journal of Psychiatry. * Figueiro & Rea, 2010 — Morning Light Exposure Improves Sleep and Circadian Timing in Students Early fieldwork showing how light timing influences sleep quality and alertness in school-aged children. * Cho et al., 2024 — Artificial Light at Night and Blood Pressure in Children Large multi-city cohort study linking higher night light exposure with elevated blood pressure readings. * van Duijnhoven et al., 2024 — Evening Light Exposure and Sleep Patterns in Preteens Found that bright evening light shortened sleep and delayed sleep onset in 11–13 year olds. * Foster & Kreitzman, 2021 — Circadian Rhythms: A Very Short Introduction A readable intro book that explains how our body clocks evolved and why light timing matters. * University of Colorado Boulder, 2013 — Evening Light Delays Melatonin in Humans Just one hour of bright light before bed delayed melatonin onset by up to 90 minutes. Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism. * Liu et al., 2024 — Outdoor Nighttime Light and Myopia Risk in Adolescents Found a positive correlation between nighttime brightness and rates of myopia (short-sightedness). *  R. Wever “The effects of electric fields on circadian rhythmicity in men.” In an underground bunker, subjects were placed in two rooms: one shielded from natural magnetic and electric fields, the other not shielded.   Tip: If you want to explore practical lighting ideas, search terms like “circadian lighting,” “melanopic lux,” or “human-centric lighting” — there’s fascinating work happening in classrooms, workplaces, and even hospitals.

episode #5 Carrie B on Circadian rhythm, gut health and biological water artwork

#5 Carrie B on Circadian rhythm, gut health and biological water

In this episode, I sit down with Carrie B to discuss the powerful connection between circadian health and gut health. Can we truly achieve a healthy gut without being in sync with natural light? Carrie shares her insights on how light exposure impacts digestion, immunity, and overall well-being.  We also cover practical strategies to support gut health, including lifestyle habits and nutrition tips. Toward the end, we touch briefly on structured water and how it may expand our understanding of the water within our bodies and its role in health.  This is a valuable conversation for anyone interested in improving their gut health, supporting their energy levels, or learning more about how light and biology are deeply interconnected.   Connect with Carrie B  Website: https://www.carriebwellness.com/ [https://www.carriebwellness.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carriebwellness/ [https://www.instagram.com/carriebwellness/?utm_source=chatgpt.com] YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@carriebwellness [https://www.youtube.com/@carriebwellness?utm_source=chatgpt.com] Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@QuantumConversationsPodcast [https://www.youtube.com/@QuantumConversationsPodcast?utm_source=chatgpt.com]   Connect with me   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ [https://www.instagram.com/carriebwellness/?utm_source=chatgpt.com]florencewyldenutrition
