Ep. 183 - How the Sun Affects your Metabolism with Dani Hamilton

In this week's episode, Dr. Fiona Lovely is joined by the brilliant Dani Hamilton, a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and blood sugar expert who is shattering everything we thought we knew about metabolic health. Forget restrictive diets and brutal biohacks. Dani guides us back to the most powerful, overlooked healing source we have: nature itself.

A deep dive into the quantum and circadian rhythms of light, water, and magnetism. Want the first look at episodes like this and Dr. Lovely's coveted product recommendations?

Dani unleashes her signature blend of groundbreaking science and straight talk, revealing how our modern indoor lives are sabotaging our health.

This episode is packed with paradigm-shifting advice, including: Why your indoor life is a "blood sugar disaster" and how your LED lights are secretly spiking your cortisol and insulin. The incredible infrared effect: How simply eating your breakfast outside can lead to a dramatically better blood sugar response than the same meal indoors.

The game-changing power of orange-lens glasses and why pitch-black darkness is essential for metabolic repair and deep healing.
