Reset Your Circadian Rhythm This Winter

When the days get darker, our bodies get confused.
Low natural light exposure leads to disrupted circadian rhythm resulting in lower mood, poorer sleep, sluggish energy, and cravings.

Here’s the fix:
Expose your eyes to 10–20 minutes of full-spectrum light within 30 minutes of waking. I try to make it the first light my eyes are exposed to on waking.
This mimics sunrise and helps your brain regulate melatonin, cortisol, and serotonin—your core sleep–wake hormones.
Why it works (research-backed)
Morning light exposure suppresses melatonin, helping you feel alert earlier in the day.
It anchors your cortisol awakening response (CAR), improving daytime energy and metabolic regulation.
Studies show bright light therapy can reduce symptoms of seasonal affective disorder, low mood, fatigue, and sleep disturbances (Harvard, Stanford & Sleep Medicine Reviews).
Consistent morning light supports healthy insulin sensitivity and appetite regulation.
During the winter, we spend more time indoors under blue-heavy artificial lighting
A full-spectrum light like the Kala lamp recreates the wavelengths your body expects at sunrise.

I use it every morning while I get ready for the day . It feels like having some sunshine on my counter!

Want to know the lamp I use?

Comment LIGHT. And I’ll send you the link!

Why I did a DEXA Scan

As a menopausal woman, I know the drop in estrogen can mean lower bone density and a higher risk of osteoporosis.

But that’s not all — aging also increases the risk of sarcopenia (muscle loss), which affects strength, balance, and metabolism.

Where you carry fat matters too. Visceral fat around your organs is linked to a higher risk of heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure.

A DEXA scan gives a detailed look at your bone health, muscle mass, and fat distribution — empowering you to take action and age strong, not fragile.

Knowledge is power — when you know your numbers, you can make smarter nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle choices to support longevity
Thank you BodyCompImaging for the opportunity to get a DEXA scan and learn how well I’m aging — inside and out!
