Corey and Christine sit down with Thaddeus Owen, co-founder of Dream Walkers and the other half of this two-part husband-and-wife series. Thaddeus is a chemical engineer who spent seven years in pharmaceutical research before walking away from the industry, then earned a master's in holistic nutrition while trying to solve his own decades-long insomnia and anxiety. Nothing worked until he put on a pair of blue-blocking glasses in 2009 and got his light environment right. He has been teaching light, EMF, and cold since 2015, and between him and Heidi they have raised six kids. In this episode he makes the case that light is not just something you see. It is an actual drug your body is metabolizing all day long. ✨ Topics Covered in This Episode: ✔️ Why the first hour after sunrise turns on testosterone and estrogen ✔️ How dawn light sets your metabolic rate and your cravings for the entire day ✔️ Why blue light at night tells your body winter is coming, so store fat ✔️ "Malilluminated" and why we do better lighting for tomatoes than for humans ✔️ You do not have to see the sun, or even have clear skies, for morning light to work ✔️ Why sunglasses, contacts, and some eye surgeries block the signal your body needs ✔️ Biphasic sleep, the Prussian school system, and who really invented Daylight Saving Time ✔️ Sleeping less in summer and more in winter, and why that is biologically correct ✔️ Nightlights, teenagers, screens, and what parents can realistically do ✔️ Rolling down your car window on the school run actually counts ✔️ Why working out at 5am under artificial light may be working against you ✔️ Meals at dawn, noon, and sunset, and letting the sun program your amino acids ✔️ How to wear blue blockers in public without feeling like a weirdo ✔️ The red refrigerator, revisited, and why never to put red bulbs in your kitchen ✨ Support the Show! 👍 Like & Subscribe for more ancestral motherhood conversations ⭐ Leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify 📍 Join our Patreon Community – https://patreon.com/modernancestralmamas #ancestralliving #circadianrhythm #morningsunlight #bluelight #metabolichealth #ModernAncestralMamas #RealFood #MotherhoodWellness #hormonehealth #MomLife 📲 Stay Connected: Patreon Community | https://www.patreon.com/c/ModernAncestralMamas @fornutrientssake | https://www.instagram.com/fornutrientssake/ @nourishthelittles | https://www.instagram.com/nourishthelittles/ @modernancestralmamas | https://www.instagram.com/modernancestralmamas/ YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/@ModernAncestralMamas
