The Forgotten Foundation: How Light and Darkness Shape Our Health

Many people do “everything right” with food, movement, and stress management, yet still struggle with rising blood sugar, blood pressure, and energy crashes. The missing piece isn’t always diet—it’s the rhythm of light and dark. In this article, I share why respecting the natural cycle of the sun and darkness is the true foundation of health, how modern life disrupts it, and how my R.E.S.T.™ protocol can help restore balance.

The rise in youth violence and despair is not random. It is the predictable outcome of biology breaking down. Until we face this truth, the crisis will continue.
