Welcome to She Finds Flow, a little solo content from me to help you start BioSyncinthis episode, Angela explores how to use light and exercise to enhance your health, energy, and mood. She breaks down simple, science-backed strategies to sync your daily routine with your body’s natural rhythms, boosting hormonal balance, sleep quality, and overall performance. By understanding the role of morning sunlight, red light therapy, and optimally timed workouts, you’ll learn how to build habits that keep you feeling your best throughout the year.

MAIN TAKEAWAYS

• Start Your Day with Morning Light: Morning sunlight stabilises your circadian rhythm, boosts mood, and helps regulate hormones. Aim for 5-10 minutes of exposure within an hour of waking, even on cloudy days.
• Use Red Light Therapy in Winter: Red light therapy is great for combating Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), enhancing energy production, and supporting skin health during darker months.
• Time Your Exercise for Maximum Impact: Low-intensity workouts in the morning improve energy and mood, while high-intensity training in the late afternoon leverages optimal body temperature and lowers injury risk.
• Get Midday Sun for Vitamin D: Spending 10-15 minutes outside around solar noon helps your body produce vitamin D, boosting immunity, mood, and bone health.
• Sunset for Better Sleep: Watching the sunset helps your body wind down by triggering melatonin production, promoting relaxation and preparing you for restful sleep.
• Exercise Outdoors When Possible: Outdoor workouts combine the benefits of UV and infrared light, enhancing muscle growth and recovery, while boosting mood and energy.
