In today’s episode, Dani breaks down why morning light - yes, simply going outside at or just before sunrise - is the first and most important step in improving your blood sugar, hormones, metabolism, and sleep.
If you’ve heard Dani talk about “the sunrise thing” but haven’t implemented it yet… this episode will finally help it click.
You’ll learn what happens inside your body when sunrise light hits your eyes and skin, why artificial blue light derails your hormones, and how a simple shift in your morning routine can massively improve energy, cravings, insulin sensitivity, thyroid function, and sleep quality.
Dani also shares client wins, real-life examples, troubleshooting tips for busy mornings, and a step-by-step guide to building your own sunrise routine - even if you have kids, work early, or live in a cloudy climate.
