“I wish I had found CCFM and begun HRT sooner…”

Perimenopause and menopause can bring so much more than hot flashes: joint pain, heart irregularities, gut issues, mood changes, and brain fog often go overlooked or dismissed in conventional care.

At CCFM, we see the whole picture. With personalized functional medicine and hormone support, our patients feel empowered, informed, and cared for at every stage of life.

This patient’s journey shows what’s possible when root causes are addressed and options are explained, not ignored.

☀️ Just 15 minutes of sunlight can jumpstart your mitochondria.
Most people think of sunlight as just a source of vitamin D but it does so much more.
Morning sunlight (especially near-infrared and red light) helps your cells make more energy, reduce inflammation, and repair faster at the mitochondrial level.

**It's free anti-aging medicine, and it’s available every morning.**

Here’s how it works, and why 10–15 minutes a day could change how you feel and function:

1. Your mitochondria are the energy factories inside your cells.
They power everything - from brain function to hormone production to how fast you age.

More mitochondria = more energy, better repair, and longer healthspan.

2. Morning sunlight contains near-infrared (NIR) and red light, which:
• Stimulate mitochondrial enzymes
• Improve ATP production (your cell's energy)
• Reduce oxidative stress

Translation: It boosts cellular energy production and supports internal repair processes.

3. You don't need to sunbathe for hours.
Just 10-20 minutes of morning sun:
• Enhances cytochrome c oxidase, a key mitochondrial enzyme
• Supports circadian rhythm (also critical for energy + repair)
• Starts cellular cleanup processes (like autophagy)

4. Photobiomodulation (light therapy) is used clinically to boost mitochondrial function
• Natural sunlight is a free, daily version
• Studies show improved energy, reduced inflammation, and even better metabolic health from consistent morning sun exposure

5. Light in the first 1-2 hours after waking:
• Aligns your body clock
• Boosts daytime energy
• Supports nighttime melatonin production (aka better sleep)

Bonus: no sunglasses, no window glass - get real light on skin + eyes (safely).
