Women and Light: Menopause, Hormones, Pregnancy, and Breastfeeding with Roudy Nassif of VivaRays
Listen now
Description
Happy International Women's Month! In celebration of women all over the world, we bring you an episode that focuses on the impact of light on women's health. Women have different cycles in life that can be greatly improved just by ensuring their bodies are in sync with the natural light provided by the sun. This is due to the hormones that increase production depending on the type of light to which their bodies are exposed. In this episode, Dr. Lara Varden is again joined by Roudy Nassif, Founder of VivaRays. Roudy has suffered from ADHD, headaches, and eyestrain since childhood. Despite consulting with doctors, trying different diets and supplements, and seeking advice from various health gurus, he has been unable to find relief. He also continued to struggle with sleep and productivity. He carried this frustration as he got older, still unable to find any solution, until he tried farming and living a life exposed to the outdoors with sunrise and sunset just around the corner. This life-changing experience allowed his health to transform, resulting in remarkable changes to his sleep, focus, and overall health. This led to his curiosity in studying light and its effects on the circadian rhythm. They discuss the basics of how light impacts hormones and menopause in a woman's body, delving deeper into the science discussed during the episode entitled "How Light Affects Our Circadian Rhythm and Overall Health", the seventh episode of The DNA Talks Podcast since its launch. This episode also involves the discussion of how light dictates the input of stress signals, which not only affects the mother but also her baby, illustrating the perfect example of oneness and how health flows through this special bond. Dr. Lara and Roudy delve into how this affects pregnancy, breastfeeding, and milk production.
