#247 Red Light, Blue Light & the Midlife Energy Crisis

from Menopause Made Easy with Tanya · host Tanya Willis

Are we living in a light environment our biology doesn’t recognize?Neuroscientist Dr. Glen Jeffery has suggested that our chronic exposure to artificial blue light — especially in hospitals, schools, and offices — may one day be viewed similarly to asbestos: something we widely used before understanding the long-term consequences.Is blue light evil? No.Is it powerful? Absolutely.In today’s episode of Menopause Made Easy with Tanya, we explore:🌞 The difference between blue light, red light, and near-infrared light🧬 How light directly impacts your mitochondria and energy production😴 Why artificial lighting may be disrupting your sleep and hormones🔥 Why midlife women are more vulnerable to light mismatch💡 Simple daily shifts to restore balance (without fear or overwhelm)For most of human history, we woke with the sun, worked under full-spectrum daylight, and dimmed into firelight at night.Today?We wake to phones.We live under LEDs.We scroll until bedtime.And our nervous systems are paying the price.If you are experiencing:FatigueAnxietyPoor sleepBlood sugar swingsInflammationEnergy crashesBefore you blame your hormones… check your light.This episode gives you a practical, grounded framework to begin restoring your natural rhythm — using sunlight as free medicine.Because midlife isn’t about doing more.It’s about removing mismatch.Listen on Spotify, Apple and You TubeIf you want to build muscle, improve nutrition & mindset - invest in yourself and join The Vibrant Living Academy https://vibrant-living-with-tanya.mykajabi.com/vibrant-living-studio 5 Hacks to Cut Cravings Freebie!!  https://vibrant-living-with-tanya.mykajabi.com/5-Hacks-to-Cut-Cravings  My Favourite Products:LifeWave Phototherapy Patches  Using your own light - how cool is that?? As we age, the less stem cell activity we have. Stem cells are the foundational cells that transform into almost any cell needed to repair and regenerate damaged cells. They become our skin cells, blood cells, liver cells, heart cells, brain cells… Who doesn’t need more brain cells these days! But unfortunately the older we get, the fewer stem cells we have, which slows down the body’s ability to repair and heal - causing the wrinkles, grey hair, body aches and organ challenges.  Until now, check out my website and ask me questions!using your own light to improve your health & wellbeing click here https://vibrant-living-with-tanya.mykajabi.com/phototherapy Upgrade your Multi, omegas, collagen supplementsWant collagen, omegas and more to improve your health and wellbeing - check out VitalHealth, click here and ask me any questions.Living Libations for skin, hair and teeth care & red light, ⁠click here ⁠ Organo Mushroom Tea and Coffee - Thank you for shopping at my store, ⁠click here to enter.   ⁠ Vibe Device - Your pocket sized health device, ⁠click here ⁠for $150 OFF plus free shipping - Pocket Therapy for anxiety, insomnia, pain allergies, asthma, trauma, earthing/grounding and so much more Luminate ⁠ click here⁠  Juice Plus+ Luminate is a plant-based drink mix designed to support cognitive function, clarity, and energy.
