Show Notes

Overview: What if the light around us could shape our health, mood and energy? In this first episode, Dr. Anna Berends talks with Dr. Jennifer Veitch, President of the International Commission on Illumination (CIE), about the science of sunshine — and how different parts of natural light influence our well-being.

Together, they explore how ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared light each plays a unique role in human health — from vitamin D production and circadian rhythm to cellular repair and mood regulation. You’ll discover what happens when we spend 90% of our time indoors, how modern lighting has changed the way we experience daylight, and why the future of wellness may depend on bringing the full spectrum of sunlight back into our lives.
