Learn The Hidden Key to Immunity, Energy & Mood
Vitamin D is often called the “sunshine vitamin,” but its role in human health goes far beyond simply supporting bone strength. In this episode of the Chasing Eden Podcast, host Caroline Thompson explores the powerful influence Vitamin D has on the body’s immune system, brain function, hormonal balance, and overall metabolic health. Modern lifestyles have dramatically reduced our natural sunlight exposure, and as a result, Vitamin D deficiency has become one of the most common nutritional imbalances in the world today. This episode dives into the science behind why Vitamin D is essential and how restoring healthy levels can support long-term wellness.Throughout the discussion, Caroline highlights insights and perspectives from leading voices in natural health and metabolic research including Dr. Eric Berg, Dr. Barbara O’Neill, Gary Brecka, Dave Asprey, Dr. Daniel Pompa, and Dr. Andrew Huberman. The episode examines how Vitamin D supports immune regulation, helps reduce chronic inflammation, contributes to cognitive and emotional health, and plays a role in hormone and metabolic function. It also explains the warning signs of Vitamin D deficiency—such as fatigue, weakened immunity, low mood, muscle weakness, and poor bone health—while exploring why so many people today may unknowingly be living with suboptimal levels.Finally, the episode provides practical guidance on restoring healthy Vitamin D levels through sunlight exposure, nutrition, and thoughtful supplementation. Caroline explains how Vitamin D works alongside cofactors like magnesium and vitamin K2, why testing can help determine optimal levels, and how simple lifestyle adjustments can make a meaningful difference. If you’re interested in natural wellness, foundational nutrition, and rediscovering how the body was designed to thrive, this episode offers an insightful look at why Vitamin D may be one of the most important nutrients for modern health.SEO KeywordsVitamin D benefits Vitamin D deficiency symptoms Vitamin D supplementation Sunshine vitamin health benefits Signs of low vitamin D Vitamin D immune system support Vitamin D brain health Natural ways to increase vitamin D Vitamin D and inflammation Vitamin D and hormone health Vitamin D and bone health Vitamin D3 supplementation benefits How sunlight affects health Vitamin D deficiency causes Natural health and vitamin D Vitamin D for energy and mood Optimal vitamin D levels Vitamin D and immune health Chasing Eden podcast vitamin D Holistic health vitamin DSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:27.199
Welcome back to Chasing Eden, where we rediscover our bodies
2
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:34.240
divine design. I'm your host, Carolyn Thompson. In today's modern world,
3
00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:37.880
many of us live in environments that look very different
4
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:40.679
from the way human beings live for most of history.
5
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:46.920
We wake up indoors, commute indoors, work indoors, and relax indoors.
6
00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:54.119
Artificial lighting replaces sunlight, screens replace open air, and convenience
7
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:59.880
replaces the rhythms of nature. And yet our bodies were
8
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:05.480
never redesigned for this modern lifestyle. They still operate according
9
00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:09.799
to the same biological principles that governed human health thousands
10
00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:14.159
of years ago. One of the most fascinating examples of
11
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:19.120
this design is vitamin D. Unlike most nutrients we talk about,
12
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:23.319
vitamin D isn't simply something we eat. It's something our
13
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:27.840
bodies were designed to produce from sunlight. When ultraviolet b
14
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:31.760
rays from the sun touched the skin, a complex biological
15
00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:39.319
process begins that ultimately produces a compound essential for bones, immunity, hormones, mood,
16
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:44.840
and cellular health. But here's the surprising part. Despite living
17
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:50.400
in a technologically advanced society, vitamin D deficiency is now
18
00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:58.480
extremely common Researchers estimate that over one billion people worldwide
19
00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:03.799
may have inside efficient vitamin D levels, and many don't
20
00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:10.199
even realize it. Low energy, weak immunity, mood changes, muscle aches,
21
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:14.360
and chronic health problems are often traced back to something
22
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:20.319
as simple and as profound as inadequate vitamin D. So
23
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:23.919
today we're going to take a deep dive into this
24
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:28.719
remarkable nutrient. We'll talk about what vitamin D actually is,
25
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:32.439
why it functions more like a hormone than a vitamin,
26
00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:37.560
the signs and symptoms of deficiency, why modern life has
27
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:42.759
made deficiency so common, the role of supplementation, and how
28
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:47.240
vitamin D supports nearly every system in the body. We're
29
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:50.759
also going to explore insights from respected voices in the
30
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:56.960
health world, including doctor Eric Berg, doctor Barbara O'Neil, dave Asprey,
31
00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:04.080
human biologist Gary Breka, doctor Daniel Pampa, and doctor Andrew Huberman,
32
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:08.039
who have all spoken about the importance of vitamin D
33
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:13.199
and maintaining optimal health. Because when we talk about returning
34
00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:18.000
to eden, returning to the body's original design, we are
35
00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:22.199
often talking about restoring the simple things that modern life
36
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:26.840
has disrupted, and sunlight is one of the most powerful
37
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:31.479
of these simple things. One of the first things that
38
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:36.199
surprises people about vitamin D is that it technically it
39
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:41.439
isn't really a vitamin in the traditional sense. Most vitamins
40
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:46.000
must be obtained through food. Vitamin C, for example, must
41
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:50.000
come from fruits and vegetables because the body cannot produce it.
42
00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:56.039
Vitamin D is different. When sunlight hits the skin, cholesterol
43
00:03:56.120 --> 00:04:00.400
molecules are converted into vitamin D three. I'm going to
44
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:05.360
repeat this. When sunlight hits the skin, cholesterol molecules are
45
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:10.439
converted into vitamin D three. So that tells us that
46
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:13.919
cholesterol is important and it has a role in one
47
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:16.040
of the most important parts of our health and our
48
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:20.160
well being, and that is to have the molecules be
49
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:25.199
converted into vitamin D three. So you might want to
50
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:30.319
go look up and investigate the role of cholesterol. It's
51
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:34.360
been demonized throughout the decades, and a lot of doctors
52
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:38.800
and homeopaths are now discussing how important the role of
53
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:42.000
cholesterol actually is in our diet and it's not so
54
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:47.079
bad after all. It's actually necessary for us. Lowering cholesterol,
55
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:50.759
according to them, could actually be detrimental to your health.
56
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:53.680
And one of those things that it might do is
57
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:58.199
stop the body from making vitamin D three. So this
58
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:02.040
vitamin D three wants the cholesterol, converts the molecules into it,
59
00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:06.399
then travels through the bloodstream to the liver and kidneys,
60
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:11.600
where it is transformed into its active hormonal form called calcitriol.
61
00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:19.120
At that point, vitamin D begins interacting with vitamin D receptors,
62
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:24.199
which exist throughout the body. In fact, scientists have discovered
63
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:30.040
that vitamin D receptors are in almost every major tissue,
64
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:37.839
including immune cells, brain tissue, muscles, bones, the cardiovascular system,
65
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:42.720
and the endocrine system. This explains why vitamin D influences
66
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:48.000
so many aspects of our health. Doctor Eric Burke frequently
67
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:51.800
points out that vitamin D functions more like a master
68
00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:57.399
regulator hormone than a simple nutrient. He explains that vitamin
69
00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:01.240
D interacts with hundreds of genes in the body that
70
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:07.360
control inflammation, immune signaling, and metabolic processes. When vitamin D
71
00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:11.879
levels are adequate, these systems tend to operate more smoothly.
72
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:17.959
When levels drop, the body often begins to struggle. Vitamin
73
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:22.240
D first became widely known in the early nineteen hundreds
74
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:27.000
when researchers discovered its role in preventing rickets, a disease
75
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:32.040
that caused severe bone deformities in children. Children living in
76
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:36.839
industrial cities during the early twentieth century often developed rickets
77
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:43.319
because pollution blocked sunlight and diets lacked sufficient nutrients. Once
78
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:49.360
scientists realized sunlight exposure prevented the disease, vitamin D quickly
79
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:53.519
became recognized as essential for bone health. But over the
80
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:58.800
past several decades, researchers have discovered that vitamin d's role
81
00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:04.199
extends far byad beyond your bones. Today, it is understood
82
00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:11.720
to influence immune regulation, hormone production, brain health, cardiovascular function,
83
00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:17.519
muscle strength, and inflammation levels. In other words, vitamin D
84
00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:21.040
is not just a bone vitamin, It is a whole
85
00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:27.000
body nutrient. If vitamin D is so important, why are
86
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:34.160
so many people deficient? The answer lies largely and how dramatically.
87
00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:38.680
Modern life has changed our relationship with sunlight. For most
88
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:44.399
of human history, people lived and worked outdoors. Farmers, hunters,
89
00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:49.439
and laborers spend hours each day under natural light. Today,
90
00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:54.800
many people spend the majority of their time indoors. Consider
91
00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:58.360
a typical modern schedule. You wake up inside your home,
92
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:01.680
you drive your car to go to work, you work
93
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:05.199
in an office under artificial lighting. You return home in
94
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:09.839
the evening. In many cases, the skin may receive very
95
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:15.000
little direct sunlight throughout the day. Doctor Andrew Huberman has
96
00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:19.959
discussed this shift extensively. He explains that sunlight exposure plays
97
00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:23.759
a critical role not only in vitamin DE production, but
98
00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:30.720
also in regulating circadian rhythms and hormone balance. When sunlight
99
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:35.600
exposure drops, several biological systems can begin to drift out
100
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:41.200
of alignment. Several other factors also influence vitamin D production,
101
00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:47.320
like latitude. People living farther from the equator often receive
102
00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:52.720
less UVB exposure During winter months. In northern regions, the
103
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:57.159
sun's angle becomes too low for significant vitamin D production.
104
00:08:57.279 --> 00:09:03.320
During parts of the year, skin pigmentation melanin acts as
105
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:08.519
a natural sunscreen. Individuals with darker skin require longer sun
106
00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:13.919
exposure to produce the same amount of vitamin D. Aging
107
00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:19.159
As people age, the skin becomes less efficient at synthesizing
108
00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:25.639
vitamin D sunscreen. While sunscreen protects against excessive UV exposure,
109
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:31.159
it also blocks much of the UVB radiation required for
110
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:34.919
vitamin D production. And you may have seen on social
111
00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:39.960
media people claiming that things like olive oil work as
112
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:45.799
a natural sunscreen, or things like eating certain things. I
113
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:49.240
think another one is like coconut oil consumption. I've never
114
00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:52.519
tested this out. I don't know if it's true, but
115
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:55.679
it's just a kind of an interesting thing to ponder. Now,
116
00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:59.440
another thing that affects your vitamin D production is something
117
00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:02.519
that really might it surprise you. And since we've had
118
00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:06.039
somewhat of an epidemic in our country of obesity, it's
119
00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:10.240
interesting to note that obesity also has an effect on
120
00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:14.240
the way that you absorb your vitamin D. Vitamin D
121
00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:18.399
is a fat soluble vitamin, meaning it can be stored
122
00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:23.200
in fat tissue rather than circulating in the bloodstream. Sometimes
123
00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:27.440
that lowers your measurable levels. All of these factors combine
124
00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:32.759
to make deficiency surprisingly common. The symptoms of vitamin D
125
00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:36.639
deficiency can be subtle. Many people live with low levels
126
00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:41.320
for years without recognizing the cause of their symptoms. Some
127
00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:47.960
of the most commonly reported signs include chronic fatigue, muscle weakness,
128
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:55.200
bone pain, frequent illness, low mood, brain fog, and poor
129
00:10:55.320 --> 00:11:01.320
recovery after exercise. Doctor Berg frequently lists symptoms such as
130
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:07.039
muscle aches, frequent infections and low energy as common indicators
131
00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:11.960
of vitamin D deficiency. Because vitamin D affects immune cells,
132
00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:19.360
deficiency may also increase susceptibility to respiratory infections and inflammatory conditions.
133
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:23.720
We're going to pause here briefly. When we come back,
134
00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:27.279
we'll explore one of the most fascinating aspects of vitamin
135
00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:31.360
D its role in immune system regulation, brain health, and
136
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:36.240
inflammation control, and why so many experts believe maintaining optimal
137
00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:39.679
vitamin D levels is one of the most important foundations
138
00:11:39.720 --> 00:12:05.480
for long term health. Stay with me, and we left off.
139
00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:09.960
We were talking about how incredibly common vitamin D deficiency
140
00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:14.679
has become in modern life and how subtle the symptoms
141
00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:18.639
can be. But the reason vitamin D deficiency matters so
142
00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:23.559
much is because of the enormous role this nutrient plays
143
00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:27.919
in regulating some of the body's most important systems. One
144
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:31.559
of the biggest of those systems is the immune system.
145
00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:37.679
For many years, scientists believe vitamin d's primary role was
146
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:41.720
related to calcium absorption and bone health, but over the
147
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:46.720
last two decades, research has revealed something far more significant.
148
00:12:47.960 --> 00:12:52.480
Vitamin D acts as a key regulator of immune function.
149
00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:58.840
Immune cells, including T cells, and macrophages contain vitamin D receptors.
150
00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:04.759
When vitamin D binds to these receptors, it influences how
151
00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:10.759
immune cells communicate, respond to threats, and regulate inflammation. In
152
00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:15.600
simple terms, vitamin D helps the immune system know when
153
00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:20.000
to fight and when to calm down. This balancing effect
154
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:25.960
is critical. A weak immune response can allow infections to spread,
155
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:31.120
but an overactive immune system can lead to autoimmune disorders,
156
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:37.600
chronic inflammation, and tissue damage. Vitamin D helps maintain the
157
00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:43.679
balance between those two extremes. Doctor Eric Berg often emphasizes
158
00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:47.200
that vitamin D is one of the most important nutrients
159
00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:53.200
for immune health. In his educational material, he notes vitamin
160
00:13:53.320 --> 00:13:58.320
D is essential for immune system regulation. It helps activate
161
00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:06.720
immune defenses while also preventing excessive inflammatory reactions. This dual action,
162
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:12.320
supporting defense while preventing overreaction is what makes vitamin D
163
00:14:12.840 --> 00:14:19.320
so fascinating From a biological standpoint. Chronic inflammation has become
164
00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:23.240
one of the most widely discussed topics in modern health research.
165
00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:27.919
Many of the conditions affecting people today, from heart disease
166
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:34.360
to autoimmune disorders to metabolic dysfunction, share one common underlying factor.
167
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:41.600
Persistent low grade inflammation. Vitamin D appears to play a
168
00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:47.240
role in helping regulate that inflammatory response. When vitamin D
169
00:14:47.399 --> 00:14:51.399
levels are sufficient, immune cells tend to produce a more
170
00:14:51.480 --> 00:14:56.159
balanced inflammatory response. And in case you haven't noticed, we
171
00:14:56.279 --> 00:14:59.600
tend to have an epidemic of inflammatory problems at this
172
00:14:59.679 --> 00:15:03.960
point in our country. Seems like everybody has some type
173
00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:09.159
of condition related to inflammation. When vitamin D levels are low,
174
00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:16.720
inflammation signals can become disregulated. Doctor Daniel Pompa frequently speaks
175
00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:21.120
about inflammation as a central factor in chronic disease. In
176
00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:26.240
his discussions about metabolic and cellular health, he emphasizes that
177
00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:31.440
nutrients like vitamin D help regulate inflammatory signaling pathways that
178
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:36.039
influence how the body heals and repairs itself. In other words,
179
00:15:36.440 --> 00:15:41.360
vitamin D does not simply, quote unquote boost immunity, It
180
00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:46.799
helps orchestrate it. Another area where vitamin D has received
181
00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:52.919
significant attention is respiratory health. Research has shown that individuals
182
00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:58.399
with adequate vitamin D levels tend to experience fewer respiratory
183
00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:03.799
infections compared with those who are deficient. This relationship has
184
00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:09.720
been studied in multiple populations, particularly in individuals who experience
185
00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:15.799
seasonal respiratory illnesses. Part of this protective effect may come
186
00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:22.080
from vitamin d's role in supporting antimicrobial peptides, molecules that
187
00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:28.039
help the immune system neutralize invading pathogens. Doctor Barbara O'Neil
188
00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:34.000
often emphasizes the importance of natural sunlight for immune resilience.
189
00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:39.600
In her lectures on natural health. She frequently encourages people
190
00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:44.600
to spend time outdoors, explaining that sunlight exposure plays a
191
00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:49.919
key role in helping the body maintain balanced immune function.
192
00:16:50.919 --> 00:16:55.399
She has remarked in several talks that the human body
193
00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:59.679
was designed to interact with sunlight. When we avoid it
194
00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:03.960
complet lely, we disrupt one of the most important biological
195
00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:09.519
processes that sustain health unquote. This perspective highlights something we
196
00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:14.920
often forget in modern health discussions. The human body was
197
00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:19.480
built for a natural environment, and sunlight is part of
198
00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:25.279
that environment. Beyond immunity, vitamin D also appears to play
199
00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:29.960
a significant role in brain function. Isn't that a surprise, right.
200
00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:38.559
Vitamin D receptors have been identified throughout the brain, particularly
201
00:17:39.160 --> 00:17:45.599
in areas involved in mood regulation and cognitive processing. Researchers
202
00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:48.880
have been studying vitamin d's relationship with mental health for
203
00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:54.039
many years, and while the science continues to evolve, several
204
00:17:54.119 --> 00:17:59.279
patterns have emerged. Low vitamin D levels have been associated
205
00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:05.799
with increased risk of depression, seasonal mood changes, and reduced
206
00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:12.720
cognitive performance in some populations. Doctor Andrew Huberman has discussed
207
00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:19.319
the relationship between sunlight exposure, circadian rhythms, and brain chemistry.
208
00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:23.759
While his research often focuses on light exposure and nervous
209
00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:30.400
system regulation, he frequently highlights how sunlight influences multiple biological
210
00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:36.319
pathways that affect both mental and physical health. In his
211
00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:43.279
neuroscience discussions, Doctor Huberman explains that morning sunlight exposure helps
212
00:18:43.319 --> 00:18:47.240
to regulate your circadian rhythms, which we've often heard on
213
00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:50.960
social media. If you follow anybody into health on social media,
214
00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:55.599
there's a lot of people showing videos of themselves out
215
00:18:55.599 --> 00:18:58.599
in the sun and relaxing and wearing a bikini and
216
00:18:58.640 --> 00:19:00.279
trying to expose as much of their body to the
217
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:05.880
sun ladies they possibly can. Also, there's people that will
218
00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:09.960
say that waking up to the sun rise, that there's
219
00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:13.759
something about the redness in the sun upon rising that
220
00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:17.039
has something special in it that helps to regulate your
221
00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:22.119
circadian rhythms. As well as watching the sun set. And
222
00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:26.559
apparently there's a whole group of people insisting that that
223
00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:29.480
there's actually a science to this. Now I've never dug
224
00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:32.839
deep into this to see if it's true. So I'm
225
00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:36.400
not really waking up with the sun rise and running outside.
226
00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:39.759
But I actually have an alarm on my phone that
227
00:19:39.799 --> 00:19:42.240
tells me every day at eight am, go outside with
228
00:19:42.279 --> 00:19:43.960
a hot cup of tea or whatever, you know, just
229
00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:46.599
go outside at eight o'clock and at least I know
230
00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:48.680
by that time the sun's up and maybe it's not
231
00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:50.759
that cold out, so I'll put a coat on and
232
00:19:51.079 --> 00:19:52.640
grab my cup of tea and just to sit out
233
00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:55.160
there for a little bit, because I do know, I
234
00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:57.599
feel that it makes a difference when I sleep at night.
235
00:19:57.759 --> 00:19:59.680
I did it three days in a row. I managed
236
00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:02.160
to hit three days in a row, and each night
237
00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:04.680
I was going to bet. I was dreaming, dreaming every night,
238
00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:07.200
and I thought, okay, this is I think this might
239
00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:09.799
be working, you know, or unless it's some type of
240
00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:12.160
you know, what do they call it, that effect, you know,
241
00:20:12.519 --> 00:20:14.880
a mental thing, but it does seem to be working
242
00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:18.200
for me. So Hooberman who talks about the morning sunlight
