Biohack Your Lighting for Vibrant Health l How Lumiram Lighting Can Optimize our Ciradian Rhythms, Energy, Mood and Motivation

Talia Ram joins the podcast to talk about one of the most overlooked biohacks for health optimization... lighting! With a wide variety of types of light exposure ranging from natural sunlight outdoors to artificial indoor lighting, she breaks down how it all impacts our health and what we can do about it. Beautiful lighting has been a lifelong affair for Talia, who, as the daughter of Lumiram founders Corinne and Jacques Ram, grew up immersed in lighting. So it seemed a natural progression that four years ago, Talia joined the ranks as resident wellness lighting expert for the company, drawing on her intimate knowledge of the product and her 10 years of experience as a meditation and yoga teacher.
