Setting Your Hormonal Clock

Let Your Eyes Know it is Time to Wake

Before I begin, let me be clear that you do not look directly at the sun; you don't want to damage your retina.  Going outside and facing towards the east is sufficient.  

Even 2-3 minutes of sunlight photons through the retina can help set your circadian rhythm and improve hormonal balance. I usually do this for about 10 minutes.  It is best to look towards (not directly at) the sun within 30 minutes of getting out of bed in the morning.  This will begin the process of setting your circadian rhythm and give you a great start towards hormonal balance. Photons on the skin are also an important part of hormonal balance so don't be afraid to let the sunshine on the surface of your skin also.

Open a Window and Let the Sunshine In

I have an east window in my bedroom that has 2 window panes I can open and lay flat to let the sunlight in.  Here is a video.  It is a little tricky taking a video towards the sun.




When I look out this window, I get very close to the window and I look at the pine tree on the left for a while and then the chestnut tree on the right so the photons can enter the eyes without looking directly at the sun.  I also make sure there is skin exposed to the photons.  Here is a photo through the same window so you can see the trees a little better.


I prefer going outside but when in a pinch, this will do.


Have a Hands-On Healthy, Sunshiny day!

Simple Circadian Rhythm and Hormonal Balance

Setting Circadian Rhythm

Simple and Free

I am so excited to share some fantastic information with you!  In my quest for hormonal balance, I have found a way to better achieve it that is accessible to everyone and very simple and easy to do. 
Take 10-15 minutes each morning between about 7:15-11:00 a.m. to take in the morning light photons through your eyes.  Try to do this within 30 minutes after you get out of bed (if you get up before the sun, you will have to wait a bit longer). 

 Please do NOT look directly at the sun, it is NOT necessary. Be sure to not wear any type of glasses or contacts so the sunlight can go through your retina.
Surprise!  The early morning sunlight can help to balance your hormones!
It’s free, it’s easy and it’s fun!

Take a Few Minutes

Just 10-15 minutes (even 2-3 minutes should help) each morning and the sunlight can help to balance your hormones by going through your retina to the anterior pituitary gland.  This gland controls all except for 2 of your hormones. 

Adrenals

The paraventricular nucleus in the hypothalamus of the brain controls the hormones released from your adrenals.  The morning light through the eyes helps the PVN function better by bringing in UV and IR light and helping to set the circadian rhythm. 

Wow!  This is so simple but for many of us, it just doesn’t happen.  Hooray! We can fix that and as my daughter would say, "BOOM!", the journey of balancing your hormones begins!  You just have to love this kind of gift that is built right into our existence.

Sleep and Metabolism

This is also part of the process for a healthy circadian rhythm.  The photoelectric rays from the sun tell your eyes where you are at in your circadian rhythm.  This is one of the most important things your body needs to know in order to be healthy, happy, sleep well and yes, get to your optimal weight.  Sleeping is part of our hormonal cycle and needs to be greatly valued.  Trouble sleeping is one of the first signs that something is off in your hormonal balance.  Setting your circadian rhythm with morning light will help with getting better sleep.

The Right Fat for Your Brain: DHA

My sleep has been so much better now that I am making sure I eat plenty of DHA and spending time outside taking in the morning light through my eyes and grounding with my skin touching the earth.  Not only am I sleeping more but I have long dreams.  Long dreams are a sign that I am having the type of sleep that is great for cellular repair.
