EP. 133: Join my NEW community for Gen X women: ⁠https://www.skool.com/drtyna/about⁠

Today on the Dr. Tyna Show, we’re talking all things light and how it impacts your health and your hormones. We’re sitting down with my good friend Sarah Kleiner, she’s a health and wellness expert. And while I knew sunlight and daylight were important for circadian rhythm, for Vitamin D synthesis,  for mitochondria function, I  didn't understand it as deeply as I do now since I've been following Sarah’s content. I absolutely love what she has to say, so I had to bring her on the pod. And trust me, this is not a boring conversation. You are going to absolutely love it. You can go outside and get light in your eyes and on your skin and have profound health benefits.
