Introduction
When we talk about living a long, healthy life, the usual advice comes to mind: eat well, exercise regularly, manage stress, and maybe take a few supplements. But there’s one powerful factor that rarely makes the list—your light environment.
More than Just Illumination
Most of us take light for granted. We flip on a switch when it’s dark or throw on sunglasses when it’s too bright. But these simple habits might be having a bigger impact on your health than you think—even more than diet or exercise in some cases.
Once I realized this, I made a few intentional changes to how I interact with light, especially natural sunlight, also known as full-spectrum light. It’s made a significant difference in my well-being.

Why Light Is More Than What Meets the Eye
For thousands of years, people have turned to sunlight for healing. In fact, heliotherapy—using natural sunlight to treat illnesses—was widely practiced in the early 1900s to treat conditions like tuberculosis and psoriasis.
In contrast, our modern reliance on artificial light, especially from screens and devices, has been linked to insomnia, fatigue, low mood, depression, and even serious diseases like cancer.
Light isn’t just about visibility—it’s a biological necessity. It's time we start treating it like one.

Dr. Janine's Tip
To support healthy sleep and melatonin production, keep lighting in your home minimal after dark. Consider using red lightbulbs or red-lens glasses, and cover your skin to reduce light sensitivity. Avoid blue light from screens (phones, tablets, TVs, computers, video games), as it can negatively affect sleep quality, inflammation, hormones, and metabolism.
